GUILTY TX - Emma Thompson, 4, dies with STD, skull fracture, Spring, 27 June 2009

[Melanie]

She is not allowed to see her other children. She can only send court-monitored letters to them.

Ahhh, thank you very much. I thought I heard she would have CPS visits. Glad I'm wrong!

Thanks!

Which is why I think the mother is 100% culpable in this case. As a nurse, I'm sure she saw his peen (can I say that). She had to have known were the Herpes came from and because she didn't toss the boyfriend out immediately - she has to take the blame. I have to read more, but where was CPS (I'm sure the hospital had to report this). Lord have mercy!

Mel

From what i remember reading...
They were contacted and they had a sex abuse exam done on her and could find no evidence of sex abuse even though this child had herpes. Also the mother told CPS there was no one living with her. she also told the father that the little girl got the herpes from something other than sex abuse. so they didn't remove the child from the home. Nice Huh??

Also: I am absolutely proud of this judge for standing up for the children by not allowing the mother visitation, and also that any letter she writes must be read and approved before the children get them.

The fact that the Momster's sister was on the news tonight and said she hasn't talked to her sister, and that she was there for Emma at the prayer vigil speaks volumes. I do believe the family is not backing her.

That is a beautiful house. How could AEY afford it if she was just starting a new job as a nurse and her a single mom of 3 children? Just wondering...

I believe she is an RN and they can make pretty good money. I also think that she was working at a different job when this happened. Spring is not close to Brenham. I believe she moved to the Brenham area after this happened and tried to start over at another hospital. This just happened in June 2months ago and she is back to work. I don't think I breathe after the death of a child much less get up and go to work.

Didn't I read that the little girl tested positive from HS-2? You don't get that from a toilet seat.

Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected.

Regardless of the exam -- wouldn't that be enought to remove the child until everyone in the home was tested (even though the momster denied the boyfriend). I'm sure LE would find out pretty quick.

I read that the HSV-1 and HSV-2 virus' can not live outside of the body but for a short period of time. By short period of time, I mean seconds. So there is almost no chance of getting the virus from a mattress or toilet seat. But I'm not a Dr.

ETA: Kudos to the judge, too. The only person in the lot who is for the children!

“While that (cause of death) was an essential piece of information for the investigation, it was not the only information that the homicide investigators are looking at before filing charges,” he said.

Legg asked the public for patience.

“We realize it's never soon enough or never appears soon enough,” he said. “These types of investigations are very complex and require a review of all the information before making a determination.”

Justice in this case does seem to be moving slowly - it took over a month for the autopsy results to be released.

OH BULL CRAP. They left him on the streets all this time and he could be abusing other children. He should of been arrested THAT day so he could not of abused another child. UGH UGH

BTW the social worker that came out and anyone else that seen the child and did not recommand the child be removed should be charged with neglict IMO

A Spring woman and her boyfriend have been charged in the death of the woman's daughter, a 4-year-old who authorities said was beaten and sexually abused.

Abigail Elizabeth Young, 33, and Lucas Ruric Coe, 27, are charged with injury to a child, a first-degree felony. They are accused in the death of Emma Thompson.

about damn time

Trinity Medical Center CEO John Simms said when Young was hired, a background check revealed no charges filed against her. He also said Young had access to children at the hospital, but it was supervised.

"Ms. Young was employed based on her qualifications as a registered nurse and she was completing her orientation and actually worked one shift prior to her arrest," Simms said.

When working around children ( EVERY supervised) a CPS(dhs) record also needs to be pulled!!! each and EVERY TIME and then needs to be REPULLED every few months!!

Abigail Young's attorneys say their client is a mother who just lost her daughter and has not been allowed to grieve. Young made her first appearance before a judge in the case of her daughter's death at the Harris County Criminal Courthouse on Wednesday morning.

When FOX 26 reporter Andrea Watkins suggested to the attorney that a lot can happen in one week, Amman said,"Sure. A lot can happen in a week, but not on her part. I think you should be talking to Mr. Coe." With that, Amann abruptly ended the interview

She is a nurse ....... She is TRAINED to spot child abuse but YET she can't spot it when it's her OWN CHILD?

Mom charged in child's death: Words can't describe the hell I'm in
http://www.khou.com/topstories/stories/khou090812_jj_emma-mom-interview.d3802a7f.html
“Words can’t describe the hell that I’m in,” Abbey Young said
“Details have come out and it makes me feel so dirty that I was even with him,” she said. “It’s like I want to take a bleach bath and I have, but I can’t seem to get myself clean enough.”

Investigators say statements Young made to police are inconsistent with Emma’s injuries. They say she initially told them Emma fell out of bed.

“It’s just adding insult to injury. There is no way in hell I would have ever done anything to hurt my child or allowed anybody to hurt my baby,” Young said.

“Jail? I don’t belong there,” said Young.

REALLY??? SERIOUSLY??? doesn't belong on jail. would never allow anyone to harm her child. yet her child had herpes. I just may go down to watch her trial!!

OH it's gets better the attorney is mad the mom didn't get to attend her daughters service bc CPS stoped her from attending the service.. WELL THANK YOU JESUS .CPS atleast did one thing right!! They stopped a child abuser from going to the service THAT SHE CAUSED. She would of just caused the attention to be on herself. WHY IS SHE CRYING NOW?!!? Where was she as HER child was crying? THERE IS NO WAY that the baby had THAT type of injuries and she did not cry out!! NO WAY NONE ZIP ZERO.

her's in black. Mine other
and here!! they ask her why she agreed to talk to them today....

Guess what she said? NO she didn't say to get her DAUGHTER'S story out OH NO!! She said to get HER( all about her!) story out and how SHE is feeling . Get a clue lady. NOONE cares how YOU ArE FEELING. YOU don't matter.

Then she goes on to say words can not discribe the hell that SHe's IN? WHAT ABOUT THE HELL HER CHILD WAS IN??


She says.
"My hope is that somehow God took care of her and that she didn't know what was happening to her,"

YES I HOPE God did take care of Emma because YOU DID NOT TAKE CARE OF HER. and Yes unfortunally Emma did know what was happaning to her. She knew her MOMMY was not taking care of her!!!!!


They ask her if one part has been the hardest.

She ( the monster) says I THINK the death?
WTH? YOU THINK??? Don't you mean YOU KNOW the death has been the hardest? WTH do you mean you THINK?

She says it was not a natural order of things for your kids to go before you.......

Listen Lady it is not natural for a MOM to NOT protect their child. YOU are what is not Natural.


She says her best memory of her was everyday. Everyday was a good memory with her.

EVERYDAY? what about the days YOU and YOUR boy friend was abusing her? that was NOT a good day for this baby


She says she was the most loving child.

it's to bad YOU couldn't care for her or be a loving mom.


She wants to take a BLEACH BATH and SHE HAS

She could take a bath in Holy water and it not be enough.God knows what you did and YOU WILL BE PUNISHED if not on earth in after life.


She says people thinking she hurt her child is adding insult to injury.

WHAT about the insult to this baby???? that was not protected!!!


She keeps saying HOW DARE YOU HOW DARE YOU for the thing she wants to say to him. Excuse me lady but how DARE YOU.


She says everyday is a new day and she will put one foot forward

but emma can't put one foot forward


She says she wants everyone to know there is always another side to the story..

yes there is.... and its emma's story not yours.



She let her children go to the service so they could have closure. Lady your children will most likely NEVER have closure from this


She can't believe she was arrested because she says shes innocent. I can't believe she allowed her child to be murdered.

Paintr, from the comments after one of the linked articles, I get the impression that Emma's mother's family has money and are influential in the community. Maybe the house was a gift.

According to one article, CPS is who made the mother take Emma to the hospital. In that same article, it says the type of herpes found is not genital herpes. That's not what other articles say so who knows?

CPS was very aware...says herpes can be picked up in other ways than sexually so that is why she was allowed to stay in her mother's home.

What I have found on the internet refutes CPS's claims:

As others already responded, your questions have been addressed. Nonsexual transmission of genital HSV infection (whether HSV-1 or -2) has never been shown to happen. If it does, it is exceedingly rare. If contact with toilet seats could spread herpes, people would show up in clinics with rings of lesions around their buttocks and thighs. Anyway, HSV probably has to be massaged into genital tissues for there to be a significant risk of transmission, not just applied to the surface of the skin.


As for oral (HSV-1) infection, common-sense hygiene is all you need to worry about. In particular, if you're having an oubreak of symptomatic cold sores, don't share glasses with people and don't kiss anyone.



Good luck-- HHH, MD"

I know the internet is not infallible, but from a earlier post by me it was stated that non-sexual transmission is extremely rare and in a prepubertal child sex abuse should always be suspected. As stated above, if non-sexual transmission were soooooo easy, we would all be walking around with it from public toilet seats. But you be the judge, do your own research. MOO

THERE IS NO WAY that the baby had THAT type of injuries and she did not cry out!! NO WAY NONE ZIP ZERO.

This is exactly what I'm struggling with ...

I have been trying really hard to come up with some explanation that might explain how this woman could have innocently not noticed what was happening, but I come up with nothing.

The fact that I keep coming back to is that the reports say that Emma suffered abuse for possibly days prior to her death. That, coupled with the fact that the woman is a nurse, just prevents me from accepting that she couldn't have known.

Do you all see any way that this woman couldn't have known? I just can't at this point - poor Emma had to be in extreme pain and agony to a degree that it should have been obvious it wasn't due to the usual childhood aches and pains.

Sorry to ramble, I just tried to give AY the benefit of doubt and I just can't at this point.
