I won't fault the Mom for not knowing what was happening to this baby. There are ways and reasons she maybe didn't know, didn't hear.

But FGS mother's have to learn to check the sex offender registry's! And if the person is on there, then no excuse's. That person cannot be left alone with their children!

Agreed. Until proven otherwise, the mother is a VICTIM here.

What a horrible tragedy, and right here at home. I can't believe the charge is Manfreakingslaughter.

No, I was not blaming the mother either. I had to just put out there that IMO nobody should be leaving kids alone with some random whoever. For all I know she knew this guy from back in Mexico since they were kids.

The Registry is a fabulous tool, but I go on the assumption that there's hundreds more out there that weren't convicted, haven't offended yet (some poor child has to be the first) or plumb just got away without anyone turning them in.

As always I have to say I don't know apersons situation. I've never been homeless. I had family help me raise my DD. I never even once in her entire life had to get a babysitter because of my parents.

My post mentioned laying up with a man. Again, go lay up with one. I could care less, but keep your child out of it. If you must live with some guy you are having relations with that's a shame, but I pray more mother's would understand horrific things happen.

Filly on a rant and O/T, but not saga.

Several doors from me lives.........O.K. I'll call it a family. The original mother aka owner of the home is never, ever there. This is not the fault of her two DD's who are in their 20's as this has been from get go. They had more "Uncles" in and out then anybody could count.

Now the DD's have children. One had just had her fifth baby. One was removed from her a few years ago. Other sister has one darling, adorable little girl around 5 years old. The brother to the sister's is 10 years old from original mom. That little boy is the caretaker of the children when they reach the age of 2 or so and I mean tossed outside.

The biggest problem? Men in and out. For years. Men from the internet. men from the bar. Men from around the corner. I like men. However, I'm only a few houses away and I don't know them and don't want them on my step or on my roof. How can them kids fend for themselves.

Sure as there's a new one in there the lawn gets mowed, the trash taken out, the kid or kids walked by an adult, and basically the new guy has to do the work that never gets done when there's no male in the house.

Can I blame those young women? Should I blame their mother? It's a cycle and kids get hurt.

Oh and yes, yes, yes, DHS has been involved.

It is true that just because someone is not on the sexual registry it doesn't mean that your child is safe with someone else. But if the person is on the list, that is a good sign that your kids shouldn't be with them.

There is really no way to be 100% sure that your child will be safe. And that includes leaving them with the other parent, the grandparents or anyone else. (I've just seen too many cases on here.) But there are ways to increase their chances of safety. Knowing someone's history, knowing how they act around your kids and how your kids are around them helps. Acting on your intuition and your children's intuition helps. And checking the sex offender registry helps too. It is one more tool. But just like the others it isn't perfect. There will always still be a risk.

Serenity Jade....
That name sits on my list for a baby girl if I have another one. lease:

 

[tlcya]

I only wish as much care as was given in selecting her name was given to who was being allowed into her world so Serenity could have been her experience on this earth rather than just a name

My rant:
Women---watch your kids. Life can be tough but do something positive for your life and the sake of your children.
There are no easy outs, no quick solutions.
The answers and help to a tough situation and poor lot in life rarely comes from a you meet off the street. :banghead:

Stay sober, stay healthy, stay educated, stay sound.
Yeah it can be difficult but it's the only way.

Think, use your intuition, pray.

(end of rant)



RIP little baby....

He's already a sex offender.

The two had been living together about a month.

Other criminal record.

My mistake as he got to California from Washington trying to flee back to Mexico.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!!

Is there a way to slap a Mom around? No, really, I mean it!!

I'm a divorced Mom of 3 and lonely -- desire companionship -- but I have set boundaries. My kids will not know if I'm dating, period. If I do, it will take place when they are at their Dad's.... no "uncles" or "friends" or revolving doors of men....

I will admit this -- there are people out there who are magnetic; attractive, charismatic, humorous, charming... and it isn't until they've hurt you that you realize who they really are...

Every time I'm tempted to overlook what my gut tells me or commonsense in general, I have to tell myself, "Ok, so he's attractive and charismatic and says all the right things and makes me feel just how I want to feel... REMEMBER Ted Bundy, Ira Einhorn, Charles Manson, etc, etc, etc"

These women are more afraid of losing these men than they are their own child!!! Or they're not considering the worst -- I don't know!!

I'm not trying to be "high and mighty"... I've just seen and read enough sad stories and have chosen to learn from others' tragic circumstances.

 

[hopingicanhelp]

I don't even have to go looking for these stories; I'll be checking out a story on a news site & there's the stories on the side for "recommended" reading. Go to see on article, and it's like rabbits breeding, 8 more pop up.

I know that there have been murderers, rapists, & child molesters around for millenia, but dang, it seems like there's an outbreak. And for more fury, you just look up the offenders' past record.

If a woman (or man) wants to be with some nasty that has a history of being abusive, by all means, they have the right...just stop doing it at the expense of your babies.

I do not understand, and I feel so helpless.... what CAN we do??????

Jose Luis Aguilar pleads innocent in baby's death

A Richland man charged with manslaughter in the death of his girlfriend's 9-month-old daughter pleaded innocent Wednesday.

Jose Luis Aguilar, 36, was arrested on a Greyhound bus in Barstow, Calif., on June 8, a day after his girlfriend, Jennifer Reedy, found her baby, Serenity Reedy, dead in her crib in Richland.

I am surprised they haven't upgraded the charges. Even aggravated manslaughter if they couldn't get 2nd degree murder.

Pic of suspect at link........ To look at his size, then to think of a 4 month old baby...... I think I am going to puke

Richland man pleads guilty to baby rape, murder

From September 2014:

http://www.tri-cityherald.com/2014/09/24/3168962/man-sentenced-to-xx-for-raping.html

Aguilar received a 40-year minimum sentence in Benton County Superior Court for second-degree murder and first-degree rape of a child. That includes a mandatory term of 10 years and three months for the sex crime.

VanderSchoor was able to double the sentence for Aguilar — at the recommendation of prosecutors — because the murder charge included aggravating circumstances that Serenity Jade Reedy was too young to defend herself and the crime had a destructive effect on other people.
