if stepmom threatens adults with tazer guns and is a known abuser of this child what are the odds that she tazered Zahra and put her into cardiac arrest?

I was thinking it and you said it

Read the article abot bio mom looking for Zahra for the last 5 years, well that's all good but where had she been the first 4 1/2 years :waitasec: She has not seen Zahra since she was 8 months old ......

Yea.... I'm not feeling it for bio mom yet. did she file a police report that her child had been missing? that the dad took the child and left( yes yes I know custody cases are not the same) . Did she call CPS or DHS or whatever it is called where she is? Was she there when this angel was fighting for Cancer( no) Why was she not? Did she allow dad to raise her? Where was she all this time?? What steps did she take exactly to find and keep her daughter safe? Who did she report it to that she could not find her child? ugh this case is making me SICK

Respectfully, I see bio mum as another victim in this big mess. I have no idea why she didn't see her daughter but it could have been for any reason, PND, mental illness...I just don't know, she may have thought it was the best thing but she has spent 5 years looking for her daughter, I really don't think we should be judging her, again with all respect to you. I know this case is making me very angry and distressed as well as everyone else...

I am not ready to assume about the bio mom. We don't know any info yet on what her situation was. That is just my opinion though

My question is where did the info that the bio-mom hadn't seen Zahra since she was 8 mo's old come from? If that came from the Dad or the SM I don't buy a word of it.

I have many questions as to how mom became estranged from daughter's life but out of respect for what it may feel like to be in her shoes at this moment, I will withhold judgments until I have more info/facts.

I pray someone is preparing her for the firestorm of media attention that is about to occur around her and her life.

We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.
This is from 2Pac on her my space. The lyrics I looked up to post. Change. She is right about that.

Making a change and getting people to listen is NOT easy. people don't want to speak out against child abuse or suporitt those that are. I should know. I blog against it all the time....... 99% of the time NO comments are given to my blogs. Ive even posted here and linked to my blogs but notta. I feel SO freaking defeated and like im fighting the fight alone. I KNOW what its like to parent an abused child. ( my adopted 4) and let me tell you it's not a easy road. IF PEOPLE would STAND UP SPEAK UP and STOP IT before it happens then the world would be a better place . But it's soo much easier for people to ignore it ( not my problem..... I didn't wittness it I don't know that child. I don't want to get involved.... etc)

this world makes me sick.

"Elisa Baker was arrested Sunday morning on four counts of writing worthless checks, said Eric Farr, a spokesman for the Catawba County District Attorney's office. Farr said she faces other charges in different counties, including a felony larceny count and other bad-check charges. She is being held on $31,500 bail.

Her court-appointed attorney on the felony charge, Jared Amos of Morganton, North Carolina, said Tuesday he could not comment on the case, as his representation is limited to that charge.

Adkins said Adam Baker faces similar charges, but police have held off serving an arrest warrant while he cooperates with police."

I wonder if they are going to give him some type of plea deal -

Mom says she was looking for her for 5 years. I'd just honestly like to see that she actully was..

 

[mysticrose]

Not assuming anything about bio mom, just asking where she has been for the first years of life for Zahra.... :angel:

Well, but who is that according to? Did the Dad say that? Who knows what the truth is at this point. KWIM?

Is 21 21st Avenue residence a "duplex"?

I'm confused and way behind on posts. In the warrant, it mentions Mark David Coffey and his daughter LC being in the residence. Who are these people?

:furious:The only victim I see is Zahra.:furious: Everyone elese had choices . she had NO CHOICE NONE ZERO.

 

[Wise Old Owl]

As for bio mom not seeing her since she was 8 months. There could be many, many VALID reasons. Maybe she lived in one place in Australia and dad lived hundreds of miles away. Just because she hadn't SEEN her doesn't mean she wasn't in CONTACT with them.

I'm curious about the cancer battles at age 5 - when she lost her leg. Was bio mom notified? Was she there? Was she LIED to by dad?

We simply don't have all the information yet.

I am giving myself a time out..... Before the mods here give me one.

I'm so sorry. I was abused myself. I did not know you had a blog. I will go and read. You are not defeated. You sure are not fighting this alone.

Whether the mom made horrible choices as a parent or not, she did not cause what happened to Zahra. I'm sure that losing her forever will be above and beyond any punishment due her as a mother.

Let's not start attacking her. Thank you!

no it is a home. MC and his daughter are his employer. (and in the comments sections of some articles some were saying that the boss was the landlord/owner of the rental home) but I haven't seen that reported in the media per se.
