The court documents for the arrest of 30-year-old Christopher Thomas Alexander said he brought 3-year-old Dawson Cain Zamora to the hospital after he heard a "thud." But the hospital staff said the injuries were inconsistent with Alexander's explanation and notified police.
Detectives interviewed the child's mother, 30-year-old Chelsea Rene Berg. She told police she left Dawson with Alexander on Oct. 14 around 7:20 a.m.

Is anyone else reading this as a possible sexual assault?

Hopefully the judge refused her request.


"According to court documents, a condition of Berg's bond states that she cannot have any contact with her child.

On Oct. 19, she received news that Dawson had no brain activity and was going to be taken off life support. Her attorney filed an emergency motion to modify the bond conditions to allow her to have supervised access to her son so she could "say goodbye to her son before he passes away."

"Dawson’s biological father, Dahrian Zamora, declined to comment, citing his son’s bedside vigil and the ongoing police investigation. However, he did post a statement on Facebook to “clear the air and let you guys know what’s going on.” He stated that the child had been “brutally beaten” by his ex-wife’s boyfriend and was now in a medically induced coma and on life support.


“He Is surrounded by friends and family with so much love and support. My Son Dawson is not ok, our family is not ok, I’m not ok… all I ask is that you keep my Son in your thoughts, pray for justice, pray for healing & comfort over my Son. He is loved and he is not alone,” Zamora wrote.

A family member urged prayers for Dawson, stating, “No child should ever have to endure what Dawson has been through.”

I pray for swift justice for Dawson.

A fast trial and hard final, LWOP sentencing for Christopher Alexander.

Sometimes I really just hate humans.

Sometimes I really just hate humans.

I hate the mothers/women even more then the men who abuse/murder these beautiful children whether they joined him in the abuse or was his enabler.

I don't go for "but he abused her too" pathetic excuse.

She looks fiercely unstable to me.

Sleep well sweet baby

I think she has been paying more attention to face and lip fillers than to the safety and security of her little boy,

i'm just impressed at how tough the boyfriend looks in his mugshot. don't mess with that guy!

what i'm wondering is this. is he really too dumb or disordered to switch off the tough guy shtick in this situation? or is he smart and thinking ahead? he's probably going away for a long time for murder along with at least an allegation of sexual assault of a 3yo floating around. need to look as intimidating as possible if he wants to survive in prison.

I'm not impressed at all. Considering the way he's tilting his head upward, coupled with the charges of him brutally abusing a little boy, I can only conclude this is a weak, small, pathetic excuse for a man. Trying to make himself look taller, tougher, less cowardly. Instead, his pose only highlights his insecurity.

<modsnip: >

You deserved so much better little Dawson.

My opinion only, of course.

Yes. Absolutely sickening. The perp has extremely low set ears, often seems to go along with being on spath spectrum, jmhoo.
