Where is Giovanni Gonzalez?

Aw hell, did that whore start a new trend? Kill your child and keep your mouth shut?

Alright people, saddle up, we have another one….

God, I will pray so hard that we find this little boy alive. Hopefully the deranged “father” is just trying to scare the mother, and took some cues from the media. And this precious boy is actually with a grandmother or someone who actually loves him.

I am praying for you little Giovanni – Oh I hate this shit.

Police initially thought the elder Gonzalez was just being a jerk about a custody dispute, until they were unable to locate Giovanni.  Of additional concern was a cut on Ernesto Gonzalez’ hand that looked like it might have come from an altercation of some kind.

Jerk is not a strong enough word.

Lets hope the cut on his hand is from the object Giovanni used to get away from his sick-ass father.

Why are there not stronger laws to prevent this type of thing happening both with fathers and mothers who take their kids while on visitation.
I’m here in Ireland and over the last year there has been an increase in parents killing their children then themselves. A mother drove her car into the sea with her 3 children in it with her. She was suffering from deprression and couldn’t get help. Then a father shot his daughter (6 yrs old) then shot himself all because he didn’t want the mother having full custody. Then just last week a father and mother arranged their funeral for themselves and their 4 children then smothered them and set fire to the house. All 6 family members were killed.

It is becoming the “norm”. That’s disgusting.

Damn, damn, damn! Why? Praying for Giovanni.

Hope this cute little boy is safe with a family member to say the least. I dont understand why a parent would hurt their child just to keep them from the other parent, this is just so selfish. This is not loving your child, this is just stupid. Nobody wins.

oh man. i sure hope this little one is safe. what a cute boy…his mother must be frantic. (

I was posting updates in the forums.

Neighbors report seeing a boy who “may have been” Giovanni in the dad’s apartment around 8 PM Saturday. So the police are now looking at a window between Saturday at 8 PM and Sunday at 4 PM when the mom tried to pick him up.

The dad now has an attorney and is refusing to speak to investigators directly. Sound familiar??

It is also being reported that the dad has family in Puerto Rico, and investigators are looking into the “remote” possibility that the boy was sent there. Sound even more familiar??

Damned shithead dad. I hope that boy is playing in the sun in San Juan, but I have my doubts….

It is becoming the “norm”. That’s disgusting.

No, it’s not becoming the norm. In fact, the rate of parents killing their kids continues to decrease. The overall rate of children dying continues to decrease…At least, here in the U.S. I’d like to believe it’s the same over there.

Where is YOUR son? You GD POS. :vomit:
Help this little boy.

It really is fucked up these people (parents, they don’t deserve to be called parents) can not be made to tell the truth! I can’t stand that they have knowledge of the situation but are not forth coming.

In all seriousness why in such instances can’t we use any force necessary to make the pos tell the truth. So frustrating!

Morbid better start looking under the couch cushions for spare change. :0

Hmmm…. I wonder if that bounty hunter and his nephew will daddy out of jail too. =>,>=

I’ll volunteer to implement ancient forms of torture on this fuckwad bastard until he gives up little Giovanni’s whereabouts. Obviously we can’t count on even the basest of paternal concern and protection to avail in this amoeba-brained, waste-of-spooge lifeform.

Who the fuck can hurt there own kid!?! I mean I don’t even like kids (I’m a single 30 year old male….I’m not suppose to like kids) but I would never hurt one … much less my own, and I don’t even have any yet. Sick cock goblin son of a fuck tard.

Masked web avenger I like how you think! “Sick cock goblin son of a fuck tard”…that’s some funny shit!

I was inspired by the all mighty, he has all the good put downs.

I’d like to tell you that the rate of parents killing their children is going down but unfortunately it is not. The rate of suicide is dramatically up and it is seem to be a link to the pattern of parents killng their children. Our whole healthcare system has a lot to answer to.

Ruby, thanks for the update. Please let us know when you get any more info on this precious boy…..

The Family Court system can be a problem too. Parents going through a divorce where one parent gets piled with alimony, child support etc. They feel helpless and “BANG”, bullet to the head. If they’re real spiteful, they take the kid out too. I’ve read some horror stories online about awful judges.

I want to follow this case. As peeperann said, I hope this isn’t going to become a trend because Casey’s case has had national exposure and gives assholes ideas. I’d hate to see a parent do something like this to get out of paying child support or just the responsibility of raising their child.

Do you live in the UK? If so, your healthcare system is a damn sight better than ours in the US. We essentially don’t have a healthcare system over here. We essentially have what you might call a healthpay system. Very different thing.

Yeah, I suppose that’s why Brits are pulling their teeth out themselves, right?

Every country that tries to maintain public and private health care systems is experiencing difficulties. There’s simply not enough money in the public sector to keep the good doctors around. To create an effective public health care system, we’d have to severely limit or abolish the private sector, which will never happen in the U.S. (and god help us if it does). The U.S. system is in dire straights, but socialized health care isn’t the answer. /rant

P.S. Haven’t seen you around in awhile. If you’ve been gone, welcome back. You’ve been missed.

doesn’t anyone find it odd that his name is Gonzalez same as Zannie the babysitter ?

What are they doing to find this lil boy ? Where is all the news coverage ? Where is the mom’s emotions and tears ?

Nope, I live in Ireland. Totally different HC System than UK. And the HCS is slowing going down the toilet!

No news on this lil’ guy huh? Man- this is killing me.

Nothing, Speechless. I’m keeping an eye on all the local news sources, and there’s just NO news. And dad is keeping mum. It’s crazy-making. I feel so badly for that poor mom. I am still hoping he’s shipped Giovanni off to relatives in P.R. but based on his temper and history of assaults, etc., I’m worried.

The prosecutor states that Gonzales doesn’t have the financial or social resources needed to hide his son. He has no gf and not many friends.

What are they doing to find this lil boy ? Where is all the news coverage ? Where is the mom’s emotions and tears ?

I don’t know about you, but I have a thing about crying in public. I’m against it, and I don’t do it (excepting funerals). Just saying, maybe her only options are to be emotionless and have the chance of being helpful or to breakdown completely and be useless.

Scratch that. Just watched the video, she does seem a bit off.

Is there any new info on Giovanni? Poor baby, I pray he’s ok….

I grew up near Lynn- Lynn is where we all went for last call-
The Lynn city motto is-
Lynn, Lynn, the city of sin, you never go out the way you went in.
Or as dh says:
Lynn, Lynn, the city of sin, you ask for water, they give you gin.

I hope they find him soon- The mom is either in shock or knows something.

A search warrant returned today indicated a bloody mop was found inside Ernesto Gonzalez’ Brightwood Terrace apartment, according to the Lynn Daily item.

Blood also was found on the cover of a bottle of pine cleaner, according to the warrant.

http://www3.whdh.com/news/articles/local/BO85785/

omg i’m sry that is near funny … using mop and pinesol and forget to clean the cleaning supplies LOL

( I don’t see this turning out very well.

I am sick of no coverage for all the other people that need it more then casey … sigh

There’s a video here:

http://www.thebostonchannel.com/video/17272434/index.html

Oh, my heart breaks for his poor mama. See, Casey Anthony, you stupid heartless bitch, THAT is how a mother feels when her baby is missing.

A mother drove her car into the sea with her 3 children in it with her. She was suffering from deprression and couldn’t get help.

There’s your answer as to why she did it. I met a man who was depressed and couldn’t afford his medicine. He shot himself in the head and survived. He told me that now he has all the help and services that he needed before he gave himself brain damage. He observed it was a hell of a price to pay.

Its for fear of things like this that my g/fs call their babies while they are with their dad for visitation…because you NEVER know!

I want to know how not telling the police whats REALLY going on is supposed to make this go away or whatever. Its not like people are going to forget!!! This is so sad.

My guess is hes with Zanieda Gonzoles, the missing child fairy.

In all seriousness why in such instances can’t we use any force necessary to make the pos tell the truth. So frustrating!

I’m with you here. When it comes to a child, I say the Constitution be damned. (I know going down a slippery slide there). But they cannot protect themselves. We need every available tool we can get.

Man, been praying for this little one to be ok, but it doesn’t look good.

I hope they find him soon- The mom is either in shock or knows something.

I think mom knew within one day that Giovanni was dead. She looks like she’s in denial, and knows she’s in denial. She doesn’t want to believe he’s dead, so she will pretend he’s alive until she can’t anymore. But she knows the dad, and knows what he’s capable of. She looks resigned, not shocked. The saddest part is that she didn’t have any choice but to leave Giovanni with his dad.

This case really worries me, in that it might be a sign of more like this to come. I think dad probably just lost it and hit Giovanni and killed him, but didn’t intend to murder him (Casey may well have done the same). But how many parents now are going to start hiding the bodies in an attempt to escape prosecution? The family member left behind will not get any closure as long as they have the slimmest thread to hold onto, to believe that the child they love is still alive.

Are we going to have to create new laws to prosecute cases like this?

“… See, Casey Anthony, you stupid heartless bitch, THAT is how a mother feels when her baby is missing.

My thoughts exactly.

Lord I hope and really pray that this angel is o.k. but how things are turning it looks like he is not. I hope the blood the police found is the father’s and not the child’s.

SO frustrating! It seems like if the mom or the missing child are not considered “eye candy”, they get no media coverage.

From the video showing Ernesto’s residence, it looks as if he lives in a well-populated area. Someone had to have seen something.

I looked up Ernesto’s address on google maps. At first, I thought if he doesn’t have any friends or family in Lynn, that must mean he hasn’t been in the area long, therefore maybe he wasn’t aware of any good body-hiding places.

Unfortunately, I think I’m wrong. It looks like there a number of wooded areas, parks, and bodies of water around Lynn, not to mention how closely situated they are to the ocean.

Anyone heard of any search parties? I would highly recommend taking a close look at Lynn Woods Reservation and that little island SE of Lynn, called Nahunt. You can’t dispose of a body in the middle of a city without someone noticing, so I’m assuming he would’ve sought out a little privacy.

I have no opinion on mom, at this point. People deal with things in their own weird way. One thing she should do though, is stop HOPING Giovanni will come home and get off her ass and start looking.

I hope, beyond all hope, that they find this little guy alive, but it doesn’t look very good. At least bring him home and give him a proper goodbye.

SO frustrating! It seems like if the mom or the missing child are not considered “eye candy”, they get no media coverage.

I know, this sux. He is adorable, and he’s just a little boy, he should be getting as much attention as Caylee is.

We need to start a new network dedicated soley to missing children. That way they will all get the attention they deserve.

I’m praying for you little man…..

Well, in reality, this case isn’t nearly as curious as the Caylee case. This case appears to be much more straightforward in that the kid hasn’t been missing for very long and his absence was immediately noted, whereas Caylee was missing for a month before anyone seemed to notice (except Casey, of course). Also, Casey’s family is catering to the media a great deal, making a spectacle out of themselves.

That being said, I wish all missing children were able to get the exposure they deserve. But there’s so many of them that it’s not really feasible.

Cadaver-sniffing dogs used in search
Search for boy, 5, turns to cemetery

Police have brought in cadaver-sniffing dogs as they continue their search for a missing 5-year-old boy.
…district attorney’s office said that the use of dogs to search Pine Grove Cemetery in Lynn is not based on any new information, but that officials wanted to cover all bases as they look for the boy…
http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/08/26/cadaver_sniffing_dogs_used_in_search/

They also used roadblocks over the weekend to seek witnesses.

I wonder how it will work out – using cadaver dogs in a cemetery???

has anyone uncovered any further information as to why LE stated he might be in Puerto Rico if he is alive???

Test results are in, but LE is keeping quiet.

http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2008/08/test_results_ba.html

Curiouser and curiouser…

1. Preliminary test results on the blood in the dad’s apartment are in, but LE isn’t willing to discuss them.

2. Since the results came back, LE has issued a statement that they are still searching for a live boy, as they say they have seen nothing that indicates he’s dead.

3. LE says they do not believe he left/was sent out of the country.

So, I’m assuming that if they had positive results on that blood being Giovanni’s, they’d be more inclined to think he was dead, wouldn’t you?? There’s just SO LITTLE to go on in this case. I am hoping against hope he’s ok, but LE also said the dad had no family or social ties who might look out for the boy or help him to hide him. That doesn’t leave too many options, does it??

I suppose that does give some Hope – nearly 2 wks and not much coverage…. is there a tip line ? another site covering this ? I didn’t think there were that many missing kids that RECENTLY disappeared.

I count my blessings that my Ex never lost my kids… I fear this would be the exact Kind of help I would be getting…. Nadda…………. When there is a soap opera on NG and the election going on (they could spread out their air time more evenly – same ole same old).

Thinking of ….. Rockefeller’s case…. he assaulted a Social Worker and kidnapped his daughter while on a supervised visit… also Mass (east coast) they had this story on day and night here… but not poor Giovanni where oh where could he be ?

Ok, I have read the story, watched the videos and read all the comments. (I feel like I am checking in for school..lol)

I hope they find this baby soon, his dad is nuts!

No motive? Such a short time he could have done this? Maybe accident? I don’t know, there is not enough info yet for me to make any real conclusions.

I will keep checking back here.

Kathy, where are you?????????

Kathy, where are you?????????

I’m here, being outraged. But like the other thread. I had nothing new to add, so I didn’t.

But thanks. Now you know about one more. We just need Nancy Grace to get on this one too… (oh GAWD, I can’t believe I typed that one without gagging…)

lol. My husband hates her with a passion!

Maybe little Giovanni said something about the dad in the Behavioral Therapy appointment that pissed him off and he took it out on him later in the evening ?? Was the dad drinking or doing drugs ? I’m sure that LE must have tested with luminol….maybe that’s part of the reason they think he may still be alive ?

God, these shitty assholes who call themselves “parents” are sooo pathetic !! How can they do this to defenseless children that can’t even protect themselves against their OWN mother or father ?? How can they live with themselves ??

tonight’s news:
BOSTON — Lynn and state police continue to search for a missing 5-year-old, who was last seen a few weeks ago with his father.

Giovanni Gonzalez was last seen on Aug. 16 with Ernesto Gonzalez, who is being held at the Middleton House of Corrections on a child endangerment charge.

Investigators said Thursday that they are working on the logistics of the search with state police headquarters in Framingham, but they will not reveal where the next search areas will be or when those efforts will take place due to the ongoing investigation.

Police are continuing to conduct interviews and in some cases are re-interviewing people in an effort to obtain additional information about Giovanni’s whereabouts.

Clear Channel is providing a billboard, free of charge, which will be going up next week in Lynn’s Wyoma Square. It will include pictures of Giovanni and his father.

Anyone with information about the child is urged to call Lynn police at 781-595-2000.

Very nice Clear Channel!

This Video has different Pictures of Giovanni.. He’s so cute..

The latest from the Boston Globe — essentially, a whole lot of nothing. It does encourage me somewhat that the police still seem so certain he’s alive. I wonder why, as my gut tells me otherwise. I sure hope they’re right and I’m wrong!!!

A boy is gone, mother’s hope stays
5-year-old has been missing 3 weeks
Giovanni Gonzalez with his father, Ernesto Gonzalez Jr. (Massachusetts State Police)

By John R. Ellement
Globe Staff / September 5, 2008

Some days, it is only a mother’s intuition that keeps Daisy Colon’s spirit going strong.

“In my heart, I know he’s alive,” the East Boston woman said in a phone interview yesterday.

Colon’s 5-year-old son, Giovanni Gonzalez, has been missing since Aug. 16, a day after she dropped him off in Lynn with his father, Ernesto Gonzalez Jr., she said.

Gonzalez has told Lynn police and State Police assigned to Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett’s office that Colon never dropped off the child. But neighbors said they saw Gonzalez and a boy now believed to be Giovanni playing at the father’s Brightwood Terrace apartment on the afternoon of Aug. 16.

Gonzalez is being held on $500,000 cash bail and is refusing to talk to investigators, who are determined more than ever to reunite the child with his mother.

“We are not giving up,” Blodgett said this week. “We are not sparing any expense or effort to find him. We are not even at the point of thinking of giving up.”

Yesterday, Blodgett and Lynn police jointly said they are mapping out a new search strategy with State Police but declined to be more specific, citing the investigation.

Police have already made multiple sweeps of the downtown neighborhood where the elder Gonzalez lived, as well as Flax Pond, cemeteries, parks, and nearby stores. Gonzalez, authorities said, did not own a car, was considered a loner, and was not known to have extensive financial resources.

Authorities also said yesterday that Clear Channel will provide a billboard next week in Lynn that will display pictures of Giovanni and his father.

Blodgett said investigators have pursued hopeful, but ultimately dead-end leads, such as a report that the boy was seen in Lawrence and another tip that he was driven to Florida.

Gonzalez was a meatcutter at a Lynn company, where his employers have been very cooperative with investigators, Blodgett said. Speaking only in vague terms, he said “we’ve taken some samples from different things, and we are having that tested.”

Blodgett said investigators are now working to eliminate possibilities but are extremely reluctant to consider the possibility that the child has lost his life.

“We are keeping our energy up by operating under the belief that he is alive, and he is out there, and we are going to keep looking for him,” Blodgett said.

Giovanni’s disappearance has drawn the attention of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Ernie Allen, president of the center, said experience has shown that most children are reunited with their loved ones, even if it sometimes takes weeks, months, or years.

The center is circulating Giovanni’s photograph around the country and in Puerto Rico, where his father has relatives, he said.

“It’s a very frustrating case,” Allen said. “Our hope is that somebody will come forward with information. We are concerned about Giovanni’s safety.”

According to court records, the elder Gonzalez has had occasional violent outbursts, but Colon said she never saw him act out of line toward their son. And, even now, she still cannot understand why the father of her son sits in jail, silent.

“I’m breaking my head,” Colon said. “I think every day, every night, ‘Why? Why would he do something like that?’ There is no answer.”

Allen said that studies show that 80 percent of custodial kidnappings spring from anger between the adults. The child, he said, is used merely as a means to lash out.

He said custodial kidnappings most often end without the child suffering physical injury. Emotional damage is severe, however, he said.

“There really is hope,” he said. “Just because it’s been [since Aug. 16] doesn’t mean that this is gloom and doom. . . . Somebody knows where Giovanni is. We believe he is alive.”

Police asked anyone with information to contact Lynn police or State Police assigned to Blodgett’s office.

Doesn’t look like “daddy” gives a rats ass about his little boy. This seems like one of those “macho” type of custody battles…..dad doesn’t REALLY care…just wants to “win” and he hates his wife – wants to punish her.
(Thanks, Mr. Krause for use of link – not that I asked for your permission…LOL)

Was going to add thanks to Clear Channel for the billboard but someone beat me to it [again].Say a prayer for this little boy ev1, lets hope he is alive and this is just a nasty custody case[not that that is a good thing]

I promised someone here(can’t remember who) that I would find this thread and post…..well it took me awhile (had surgery last week)…but OMG…this poor baby, what an angel.

Speaking as a divorced parent, with an abusive ex….laws need to change….I would bet that at some point in child visitation hearings, the mother stated she felt uncomfortable leaving her child with him, or he was abusive in the past-towards her.

I am sure if someone really wanted to look up the statistics this is an all too often—fact.

I die slightly every time my ex has my sons….everytime, I hold my breath all weekend….until I have them in my arms.

There is nothing that can be done, he has never physically harmed either one of them……but he is incapable of love, compassion, and sets his sights on rights and wrongs, revenge and anger….

I think that any man who has convictions for DV….or who has a history of DV….needs to have supervised visits ONLY….if that…..
We continue to risk children…..every day…..

Giovanni is a victim of his father……but also a victim of a justice system who continues to put children, defenseless children—at risk……..

I keep checking everyday to see if there has been any news on this precious boy. And as always, nothing. But kudos to LE for not giving up and for all their hard work.

Giovanni, we are all praying for little man, and for your mother, that you come home safe and never have to see that POS so called father ever again.

Thanks Ruby for any and all updates.

The police have expanded their search, as the scum father does not have a car, they are reviewing all tapes from public transportation and area stores. They are wondering if someone assisted the father by taking Giovanni away with their vehicle. I couldn’t find a written report on this but it was on http://www.wbz.com radio this morning. The billboard should be going up any time now.

I have to agree with that one as well, this does not give me a good feeling. Sounds like the father is a wacko who knows exactly where this little boy is.

Minorities are often given less attention than as someone said in Caseyasses case, because she good media attention. Although she is much more evil than Giovanni father, he’s probably just stupid and scared.. Anthonyasses are just evil and manipulating, and lieing, and frauds, and on and on… I hope they break this guy soon., a 5 yr old missing for 2 weeks is never good… I hope they find you little Giovanni, God Bless

I’ve said it before. I hate the fact that because he’s not white, blonde, ect that he doesn’t get the attention he deserves.

I’m still praying little man, I check on you everyday…….

I’m still praying little man, I check on you everyday…….

I posted the latest in the Forums this morning, Peeper. Just so you know…

Ok, here is the first article I’ve seen that does specify that the blood they found in Ernesto’s apartment did NOT come from Giovanni. That’s what I suspected, since they kept saying they believed he’s alive, but this is the first confirmation I’ve seen.

I’m trying to keep this boy’s name from sinking into obscurity. We haven’t found him! We don’t know he’s dead! Why is he not a hot topic on this board (or any other)?

It’s a heartbreaking read…my thoughts and prayers continue to be with Daisy Colon and Giovanni Gonzalez.

Life without Giovanni</strong
By Yvonne Abraham
Globe Columnist / September 21, 2008

Even when it comes, sleep brings no relief to Daisy Colon.

“Last night I dreamed somebody tied me to the bed, and I couldn’t get free,” she says. “The time was flying. The sun was going up and down, up and down, up and down. I was trying to call my mom, but all I could make was this noise.”

She is helpless during her waking hours, too.

Five weeks ago today, Colon went to pick up her son Giovanni Gonzalez after a weekend at his father Ernesto’s place in Lynn. They weren’t there. She waited for them for hours, then called police. They found Ernesto, but there was no sign of Giovanni. The father denied having seen his son at all that weekend.

Desperate, incensed, Daisy confronted Ernesto at the police station. She demanded to know where her son was. Offered not to press charges. Begged him.

“You have him,” he kept saying. “You have him.”

And to this day, even after being charged with child endangerment and jailed on $500,000 bail, Ernesto has nothing more to say about the 5-year-old with the wide smile and the Spiderman obsession.

So Daisy Colon drags herself through the days, separated from her beloved child, frustrated, empty.

She forces herself to eat once a day. She chain-smokes Newports on her East Boston stoop. She hugs her daughter Angie, not yet 2, affecting cheeriness for her sake. She stays out of her son’s room, where all of his toys are in a box in a corner because she can’t bear to look at them.

She plays the same gospel song over and over in her car on the way to see the Essex County DA: “My soul magnifies the Lord. You’re my strength. You’re my shield.” She closes her eyes at stoplights to take in the words. God has a reason for putting her through this, she says.

Every day, every couple of hours, she calls the DA and the Lynn police to ask if there’s anything new.

There is nothing new.

Because Ernesto Gonzalez, sitting in his cell, says nothing.

“Do you think he might read this in prison?” Daisy asks. “If he’s reading this, I want to say something that will catch his attention.”

After 35 days, what could catch his attention?

She pauses, searching.

Finally, she settles on this: “You wanted to hurt me, and you did. It’s killing me inside. But it’s Giovanni’s future, and he needs to show up soon. If you know where he is or if somebody has him, just put him somewhere public – a hospital, a post office, a police station, a mall – anywhere that he can say his name and where he lives.”

Her heart tells her Giovanni is alive. Even when police found a blood-stained mop at Ernesto’s place, Daisy refused to believe her son had been hurt. Investigators found that the blood was not Giovanni’s.

“My mind has a lot of those thoughts, but my heart is straight on one thing,” she says. “He’s OK.”

Still, he has missed out on the start of kindergarten at the Samuel Adams School. He must miss his precious Superman suit with the padded chest muscles. He must be asking questions.

As police follow a host of so-far fruitless leads, Ernesto seems ready to stay right where he is – saying nothing, waiting everybody out. He hasn’t sought a bail reduction. He seems utterly disconnected, not even bothering to use all of his telephone privileges.

They can’t hold him forever. He has a court date in November to answer the charges. Even if convicted, he faces a maximum of 2 1/2 years in a house of correction.

Maybe he’s figuring 2 1/2 years isn’t that long to endure, if it means getting away with whatever it is he may have done.

But every minute of Giovanni’s life is precious. And for Daisy, every minute without him is torture.

The minutes pile up by the thousand, and the sun goes up and down, up and down.

This just keeps getting more bizarre. Reports state Ernesto had no car and no friends or family in the area. If Giovanni is still alive, that almost certainly means there is someone else involved. But who? Someone willing to take responsibility for kidnapping, apparently.

And who the hell’s blood was it? Why was there enough of it to have to use a mop to clean it up?

Oh, when I read about the bloody mop I just assumed foul play. So yeah who the hells blood is it… Did daddy punch the brick wall and bust up his knuckles … where is Giovanni ? Oh Daddy likes the free rent ?

?

The father denied having seen his son at all that weekend.

Ernesto Gonzalez apparently initially told investigators that he had not had his son since the weekend prior, but that was busted. Ernesto took Giovanni to a behavioral therapy appointment on Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The therapist did see Ernesto and Giovanni together and Giovanni was alive and well at that time. It’s the last known sighting of the little boy.

A neighbor said they heard the father and son saturday through the apartment walls.

Oddly brings me back to the Gonzalez thingy …. Zenaida took him to PR. grrrrrrr

Not much to report, but a local TV station did a significant piece on the case to keep it in the public eye, so kudos to them. Here’s the link:

Father confesses. http://www.itemlive.com/articl…..851423.txt

Heh. You must have posted this while I was updating the story. No shocker, I guess. Sad, though.

Oh, my God. Another GONZALEZ!

Oh, my!! Poor baby. I am sorry for his mother. She must be in Hell over this whole ordeal… GUH!

Gonzalez was a meatcutter at a Lynn company, where his employers have been very cooperative with investigators, Blodgett said. Speaking only in vague terms, he said “we’ve taken some samples from different things, and we are having that tested.”

Being a meat cutter, he would know how to dismember the body. Why are police so skeptical? What doesn’t “fit”? This asshole murdered this poor kid, cut him up, put him in trash bags then rode his bike to different dumpsters (I’d assume) to get rid of the evidence. He obviously knew exactly what he was doing.

RIP sweet boy. So, so sorry for the mom. Very small consolation – at least now she knows. May Ernesto rot in hell for this.

I was praying by some miracle this child would turn up alive and well, but as we see her on d’d, we know that doesn’t happen very often.

I would like to know if this bastard is telling the truth about stabbing and dismembering his son. I would not doubt that he figures he is in prison, and thinks he can make some kind of name for himself by playing up the story and adding grisly details. He is evil bastard, either way his son is dead but I would not like to seem him get any kind of special attention over his terrible death.

Rest in peace little Giovanni at peace…I pray.

This story is still too bizarre for words. Ernesto did finally talk, but not to his lawyer or the police; he spoke to a Boston Globe reporter. The police don’t believe him. He says he stabbed the boy to death, and dismembered him in the apt, then disposed of the pieces. Nothing they found in the apt showed any signs of blood or tissue. In short: the police still don’t believe he’s telling them the truth.

Weird. Why would you confess to dismembering your son if you didn’t do it? And if he didn’t do it, where’s Giovanni?

I hate this case.

Weird. Why would you confess to dismembering your son if you didn’t do it? And if he didn’t do it, where’s Giovanni?

to hurt the ex wife …

if he put 6 bags around town in different spots – cadaver’s would of picked up on something when they were doing the rescue searches.

when they say riding his bike I hope they mean his harley – not his tri cycle he has a mentality of a two year old… Stab your own son… wtf – what a fucking looser. God Bless his mother and family – what a nitemare to be living.

Weird. Why would you confess to dismembering your son if you didn’t do it? And if he didn’t do it, where’s Giovanni?

He wants death row… Babydaddy must of got a taste of what it will be like in general population. But still his way of rubbing salt in the wound. To Punish the Ex.

Ernesto Gonzalez, 36, of Lynn, was indicted by an Essex County Grand Jury on charges of willfully misleading a person in the furtherance of a continuing investigation and parental kidnapping. He pleaded not guilty Thursday in Salem District Court.

The first indictment carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in state prison. Parental kidnapping carries a maximum sentence of one year in the House of Correction, officials said.

this is today’s update.

I can’t imagine this guy has the brains to dismember his son and then clean the apartment so good that there’s no evidence. Don’t forget, they found a bloody mop, which didn’t seem to help with evidence, but you’d think he’d have cleaned that up or disposed of it also. I’m thinking he confessed to murdering his son so his poor ex-wife will stop looking for her son and in the mean time, Giovanni is in another country, wondering why his Mom hasn’t come to get him.

Giovanni is in another country, wondering why his Mom hasn’t come to get him.

I would have to agree.

Ironically, way back in the beginning of this story, there were parallels drawn between the Caylee case and this case….there was so much press and releases with Caylee’s case, meanwhile Giovanni’s case was lost or back paged….

And today, I log on to read the update on Caylee’s body being found and there in the newly updated links to my left are an array of postings concerning Giovanni….

These poor children…..

I missed this article from December, there is a part on page 3 that gave me the chills where the mom tells how Ernesto had only just started seeing Giovanni again after she kept him from his dad for a year. She told him that the weekend of 8/15 was his “last chance” and if he blew it – he’d never see Giovanni again. I hope you can get the link, if not, try http://www.boston.com and search “giovanni”. He is a scary man………..

This scum has the audacity to ask that charges be dropped!! I will update after the hearing today, although, not a psychic, I predict that the Judge will tell him to go pound sand. This poor little boy, I’m sure he’s grieving his mother, either wondering why she hasn’t contacted him or he’s been falsely led to believe she died. I hope that this has a happy ending someday, someday soon.

Father Of Missing Boy Wants Charges Dropped
Gonzalez Has Pleaded Not Guilty To Parental Kidnapping

POSTED: 6:24 am EST February 24, 2009
UPDATED: 6:28 am EST February 24, 2009

LYNN, Mass. — A Lynn man charged in connection with the disappearance of his 5-year-old son returns to court to ask that charges be dismissed.

Ernesto Gonzalez Jr. has pleaded not guilty to parental kidnapping and misleading police. He is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.

The boy, Giovanni Gonzalez, has been missing since August after he was dropped off at his father’s home. The father initially denied seeing his son the weekend he disappeared, but then claimed to have killed the boy and dismembered the body.

Police have said they have found no evidence to back that claim.

The boy’s mother, Daisy Colon, told the Daily Item of Lynn that she still believes Gonzalez is working with an accomplice to keep her son hidden.

I never found an update on the news to February’s hearing, I’m sure it would have been all over the news if charges were dismissed. Here is today’s news, I hope this helps find Giovanni somehow, but it does lead to more questions.

DNA Testing May Help Solve Missing Boy Case
6-Year-Old’s Disappearance Case Gets Help From CellMark Diagnostics
POSTED: 10:03 am EDT August 17, 2009
UPDATED: 10:12 am EDT August 17, 2009

LYNN, Mass. — Massachusetts authorities have turned to a nationally renowned DNA testing company in an effort to help solve the disappearance of a 6-year-old Lynn boy a year ago.

The Daily Item of Lynn reports that prosecutors last week confirmed in court the delivery of DNA specimens linked to Giovanni Gonzalez’s disappearance to CellMark Diagnostics, a company that touts itself as the “nation’s largest and most experienced private forensic DNA testing laboratory.”

The company was involved in the O.J. Simpson and JonBenet Ramsey cases.

The boy disappeared on Aug. 17, 2008 during a weekend with his father, Ernesto Gonzalez. He claimed he killed the boy, and is being held after pleading not guilty to charges of parental kidnapping and misleading police.

I often check for updates on Giovanni, I still feel he was taken away, sold, but still alive, probably in Puerto Rico, I only pray I am right and someday he is reunited with his Mom.

Here is an update, information regarding Giovanni's blood in the father's apartment that was discovered quite some time ago but was just released:
