Latasha McMorris Is A Great Mother
February 6, 2008 by Morbid

INDIANAPOLIS — When the boyfriend of Latasha McMorris, 24, walked into room 104 of the EconoLodge Motel around 12:30 am, he found her passed out from drugs, alcohol or both. Unfortunatly for this beauty, instead of lying on top of a pool of vomit she had choked to death on, she just happened to be laying on top of her 2-year-old son, Sheldon Bartley Jr..
The boy was taken to Community East Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:10 a.m. Police are treating the case as a homicide and McMorris was being held on a charge of felony neglect. An autopsy was planned Wednesday to determine what caused Bartley’s death. I am guessing it will show that he died from having a drunken idiot lying on top of him until he suffocated. But that’s just me.
In a real shocker, McMorris has several prior arrests on alcohol-related offenses and was convicted of child neglect in July 2007. Child Protective Services removed McMorris’ children, including Bartley, from her custody when she was convicted. I guess she must have gotten him back. Thank God for that, otherwise the boy may still be alive.
Thanks for the story, Jenn!

Mandatory. Sterilization.

Would this be manslaughter? There isn’t any way they can prove she intended to squish her son.
And thank god for the family reunification obsession of the social service system. I think I remember this began because people were upset that babies were being given to adoptive parents of a different racial background than the bio-family. Well, lots of children have really benefitted from being returned to the hapless bio-family that abused them in the first place. (Heavy sarcasm throughout this paragraph.)

Ya think?
Family reunification…don’t get me started.

I do not like this lady. I wish more people would post comments about how much she sucks
2:55 pm on February 6th, 2008
Once again CPS has made a fatal decision to return a child.
3:26 pm on February 6th, 2008
I’m so disgusted by CPS………………..grrrrrr
4:26 pm on February 6th, 2008
CPS make fucked up decisions. How many babies have we heard about that have been given back to their parents only to be murdered! Sick, I am just sick.
4:30 pm on February 6th, 2008
And we are wooried about gays raising children? What about trailer trash?
4:39 pm on February 6th, 2008
She sucks. Alot. Mostly crack pipes I’m sure.
4:48 pm on February 6th, 2008
She is looking hung over but not to sympathetic. She’s probably more pissed about how uncomfy and lumpy a bed her child made. Nasty crack hoe, hope she rots. Poor child can you imagine…sick.
4:55 pm on February 6th, 2008
Yes and yes – in an ideal world neither would raise children. We would all have 25 room mansions with a mother, a father, a pony, a dog and a cat.
I do have one question to the trailer trash – are all people who live in trailers considered trash? or if you are just poor are you called trailer trash? I have seen that statement on many, many threads and just wonder what are the qualifications to be deemed trailer trash?
Yes, this is an honest question…………… ; I would love to know what I’m reading about and decide if I want to put that slur on anyone myself.
4:59 pm on February 6th, 2008
Damn, Morbid, and you didn’t even say “And now here’s Imp with the weather.”
She sucks so bad even her boyfriend blows.
She’s like a vaccuum – she sucks, she blows, she gets laid in the closet.
She sucks so bad even the dog said no.
She sucks so much her lips have stretch marks.
i think i’ll go to confession and apologize to all available deities for even posting that mess, but i’ma post it anyway. Shit fire!

A lot of people live in trailers and are neat, clean, drug-free, have most of their teeth, and don’t abuse their kids. Those people are not trailer trash.
Trailer trash spend their money on nails and beer but not rent. Personal hygiene and dental care is optional. They fight a lot, usually because they’ve picked a sex partner based on availability and not on moral fiber, compatibility, intelligence, or education. They consider 8 weeks of HVAC school “postgraduate work”. They make meth in their bathtubs and think condoms are for wusses. They shoot their niece’s porn pics next to the Pack ‘N Play.

Imp – you provided a very detailed definition and pictures to match. Thanks. You rock. I just needed the break down. I like to know that the aspersions I cast are correct.
I agree.
5:38 pm on February 6th, 2008
Well, SHIT FIRE!
5:41 pm on February 6th, 2008
And thanks to our justice system, she will probably be out of jail before Teresa Baker.
Oh by the way Ells, she suuuuuucks.
5:49 pm on February 6th, 2008
In my mind, Britney Spears – is trailer trash – with money. She lives like it, looks like it – God help us all, and acts like it. She just lives in a mansion instead of a trailer.
5:50 pm on February 6th, 2008
That is what’s so sad. But you are probably right.
9:01 pm on February 6th, 2008
POS. Her ass called, it wants her head back.
CPS is sure doing a “bang up” job.
9:23 pm on February 6th, 2008
Foster parents are sometimes no better than the blood parents……there are alot of creeps out there that foster just for the bucks and thrills they get from whoopin’ up on a kid. There are as many foster care horror stories out there as there are parent horror stories. Somehow, a new type of system needs to be in place. Instead of money going towards the weak and helpless abroad, our goverment should be looking in it’s own backyard of tragedy. Hire more QUALIFIED cps workers, ya know, ones that actually have a heart. I wish I had a magic wand and could protect all the children, and abolish all the sadistic adults.

Had the system actually done what they should have, this woman would have never had her child to be able to kill him. I have an ex-sister-in-law that has lost all 3 of her children due to drinking and drugs. One of the babies wound up with a spiral fracture on her upper arm at 11 months old, and Sandra didn’t take her into the hospital until 2 weeks later. Apparently the drugs she was on helped tune out the baby crying. After failing 3 drug tests, the state revoked her parental rights and put the children up for adoption. All 3 of them were adopted by the same family, and are doing beautifully… as for Sandra, she’s pregnant again. too bad the other systems aren’t so strict.
12:13 am on February 7th, 2008
I think two things need to change in our system. One, I think sterilization should be offered for free (men and women)……that would solve alot of problems, not the for the ones that have baby after baby for welfare….but that to could be solved with the #2 solution…if the gov. put a cap on how many kids they would support…say 2 at the max. #3, adoption laws should be more open. More appealing to someone that really doesn’t want their child…and I’m not talking about new born adoption, I’m talking about later, after the child has gotten on the parents last nerve, before the parent kills it, a parent could relinquish their rights, no questions asked. As it stands now, that is child abandonment. That stinks. How many kids could be saved if our laws were just a little different. If these kids that are taken from their parents for abuse were immediately allowed to be adopted, and not chunked into the system that obviously does not work, later to be returned to parents that supposedly cleaned up their act, then maybe we wouldn’t have so many stories to post about. At least not bad stories anyway.

Damn these bitches give us smart drug users a bad name. Irresponsible, immature, drug using bitch. Sistah, if ya needed to get fucked up, get a goddamn babysitter. Can’t get a babysitter, DON”T GET FUCKED UP!
I want to know what all was in her system. Alcohol and downers, maybe?
12:27 am on February 7th, 2008
Hippie…can I get a big SHE SUCKS?
12:42 am on February 7th, 2008
The sad truth is there aren’t enough foster homes to put these kids in. And, the institutional placements available are festering with kids who rape, abuse, and generally emotionally fuck up those poor little kids who are there b/c mommy and daddy were crack heads. And, don’t get me started on the Al Zimmerman’s of the world.
Yes, CPS is fucked up, the world is covered with shetbags, and The System sucks big hairy balls. Those people who want to adopt ANY kid can’t get one to save their lives b/c of all the rules to weed out the shetbags. But what is truly messed up is the fact that WE created “The System†. We did. Not aliens from another planet. All I can say is at least CPS tries, and actually succeeds on occasion.
Cheers to all the Social Workers that actually do their job.
12:43 am on February 7th, 2008
How about SHE FUCKING SUCKS!
muhahahhahaha
12:46 am on February 7th, 2008
Well SHIT FIRE!
12:48 am on February 7th, 2008
lmao
12:50 am on February 7th, 2008
There was a story here where a brother took his sister’s kids I believe. He and his wife had been fostering them, and when they made moves to adopt they were turned down because…………..he was TOO FAT. I kid you not. It seems like he lost weight,or had a stomache staple or something, and was approved, but Jesus… a family was willing to take these kids no questions asked and they said Sorry, Chubs, can’t help ya.
1:46 am on February 7th, 2008
Was that Mississsippi?
1:52 am on February 7th, 2008
Cuz, ya know Ells … It’s open season on fat people in Mississippi.

How sad another little one being neglected…. how many more….
2:31 am on February 7th, 2008
Now there’s an image!
4:45 pm on February 7th, 2008
Well here’s how I feel about the subject…. First off I’d like to say that not of you people have the right to say anything about LaTasha. Why?? Because none of you knew her as a person, the only thing you know about her is what they have reported on the tv and/or radio. LaTasha is my older sister so yes Jr (Sheldon) is my nephew. There is no way in hell that if LaTasha was sober that she would have hurt Jr. She loved him with all of her heart. Accidents happen, and unfortuneately this resulted in the death of my 2yr. nephew. Not only does my sister have to deal with the fact that her 2yr old son is dead, she also has to live everyday of her life knowing that if she would’ve never took that drink that he would still be alive. My family is already going through enough pain and grief as it is and the last thing we need is you alls ingnorant ass comments. Thanks and have a nice ass fucking day….. {R.I.P. Sheldon Jr.}
4:54 pm on February 7th, 2008
Accidents happen? ACCIDENT? I believe the charge was FELONY NEGLECT.
That drink? as in ONE? WTF lady? Do you think we are all stupid? It takes more than one drink for you to pass out on top of a child and not wake up through his gasping and struggling for breath. More than one drink to comfortably sleep on a kid.
Your family has my condolences, but your sister gets nothing but my disgust and loathing. She was an irresponsible parent and her baby died because of it.
4:55 pm on February 7th, 2008
They’re not called accidents when negligence is involved. Diluting oneself with inebriates and smothering a child while stupefied isn’t an accident, its gross negligence at best.
4:58 pm on February 7th, 2008
Yeah, that’s kind of the point of the story. She had the kids taken from her once, given back and then she decides to go all “*HIC*! Aww..Wut acumfy pillow thish ish…sho waaaarmmmmm…zzzzzzzzzzzz”
The last thing you and your family need is to browse the internet and commenting on what strangers have to say about your families problems. I would think you guys got a lot of more important things to be taking care of right now
Indeed. And you honestly do have my condolences.
5:00 pm on February 7th, 2008
Well honestly you can call it what you want to but I can tell you this much KATHY…. I don’t give a damn what the charges were HELLO I HEAR IT DAILY but you do not know my sister and how she was when she wasn’t drunk AND I AINT STUPID I KNOW IT WAS MORE THAN ONE DRINK and know as an answer to your question I don’t think you all are stupid I because if I did I would have no problem with letting you know……
5:03 pm on February 7th, 2008
Well said. As my condolences are with you and your family and poor Sheldon.
5:03 pm on February 7th, 2008
One less would have made it impossible to sleep on the kid though see.
5:05 pm on February 7th, 2008
How often was she not drunk? Did she have an alcohol or drug problem? Did she try to get help for it? Is this why the children were removed the first time?
If you really want us to KNOW your sister like you know her, tell us about it. Help me understand how a GOOD person can do something like this. Becasue until then, I am not going to believe it.
5:16 pm on February 7th, 2008
Well that tells how closely you pay attention to the news report because if you were listening you would have clearly hear my nephews grandmother (Sandra) state that LaTasha was supposed to be addmitted into rehab on Wednesday so yes obviously she was trying to get help….. and no she was not drunk all the time but thanks for asking. My 6yr old niece and my nephew Sheldon were always well taken care of. And you know who took care of them??? LaTasha did not their dad not anyone else. Yea sure we helped when she needed it but overall she took care of her two kids by herself until July when they were taken away from her. And I know I shouldn’t be on here reading what people are saying, but I know that my sister was always there for her kids untill they were 1st removed from her custody. And I think that you all should know that too not just know what they have posted on your tv screen. I know that what my sister did was wrong….. it was more than wrong because of her drinking she ended up suffocating my nephew and her only son. Because of her drinking I have to wake up daily….. the whole family has to wake up daily knowing that will never hear his laughter, see his glowing smile, or hear his voice ever again.
5:19 pm on February 7th, 2008
I’m sorry she didn’t get to go rehab – for everyone’s sake.
5:21 pm on February 7th, 2008
I am too because then I would still be able to hold and love and play with my nephew
5:23 pm on February 7th, 2008
Look, anon, I have so many more questions to ask and holes I can pick in what you are telling me, but FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I will leave you alone. Why? Because you are in mourning. I truly feel you miss your nephew, but my opinion stands on your sister.
5:30 pm on February 7th, 2008
If YOU knew there were issues that she was getting drunk prior to this
drunken stupor, why didn’t YOU intervene on Jr.’s behalf. Obviously she wasn’t trying to hide in the closet to to knock back a few……you acknowlegde that you were aware of the difference in her behavior from drunk to sober……why didn’t you step up to the plate?
5:32 pm on February 7th, 2008
5:44 pm on February 7th, 2008
You are so classy.
Very kind of you Kathy, she just doesn’t know the wrath you could unleash. I appreciate your kind gesture of backing off – because just as you stated she is mourning.
7:01 pm on February 7th, 2008
WTF? Classy?! That’s it, I’m leaving. Obviously, I am not myself today… :p
7:40 pm on February 7th, 2008
Accident ? The woman just “accidentally†got drunk and passed out on top of her kid! I suppose she accidentally got arrested for past drinking-related offenses and accidentally neglected her kid the last time. To bad your family didn’t accidentally give a shit about that poor kid. He might accidentally be alive today if you did. Why don’t you accidentally kiss our collective ass here at the DD. Or better yet, How about I accidentally get drunk and accidentally betch kick your shitty-kid-killing-sister right in the ass? I would be glad to accidentally do that.
Think you got something worth saying? Type it out. If you don't wanna look lame, get rid of that default avatar and go get you a gravatar! Tell 'em Morbid sent ya'. Lastly, as far as we are concerned, posting a comment means that you have read our Disclaimer.
