Sarah Brasse Was Sick And Ignored

Samantha Amy Britain (MyspaceMySpace
) & David Brasse (Myspace)
Schertz, TX–Samantha Britain, 32, is a stay-at-home mom. Her fiancee, David Brasse, 35, is a trained EMT. Between the two of them, they have five children who rely and depend on them. Oh wait, make that four children. 8-year-old Sarah Brasse died February 5th…alone in her bedroom, sick and ignored.
Sarah was sick for two days…she hadn’t eaten, had been vomiting, and had diarrhea the entire time. The only care she received was from her 10-year-old brother. It was his responsibility to bring Sarah water and make sure she was covered up and taken care of. When police and emergency workers arrived on a call of an unresponsive and unconscious child, they found Sarah dead on her bedroom floor, her body already cold and stiff from rigor. An autopsy showed she died of appendicitis. Would she have lived had it been treated? The medical examiner stated, ‘It’s not just possible, but probable that she would have lived.’
Detective Jonathan Patrick stated in an arrest affidavit, ‘I immediately noticed the odor of something spoiled in the house. Later, I would discover that the smell was coming from places in the carpet, where the children had vomited and the vomit was never cleaned up. I found vomit stains throughout the house. In several places in the house, dried cat feces was smeared into the carpet.’ The rule in that household…you puke it up, you clean it up.
Samantha told investigators that she had spoken to Sarah just 15 minutes before making a call to 911 at 6:10 p.m. Hmmm…that’s weird. It only took 15 minutes for Sarah’s body to cool and stiffen? Lying bitch. Medical staff report that Sarah had been dead for at least 2 hours prior to the 911 call.
Samantha and David told investigators they did nothing wrong. The didn’t realize Sarah was that sick. Excuse me? Puking and shitting for two days straight, not to mention the pain from the appendicitis, and you didn’t notice? An EMT didn’t notice? Maybe you would have, had you not ignored her.
A 10-year-old boy was left in charge of all of the children. He was not only responsible for taking care of Sarah while she was sick, he was the one responsible for giving prescription medication to his 6-year old brother. That same 6-year-old is now hospitalized for a colon infection. More medical neglect. Someone, give that 10-year-old a pass to Disneyland. The kid deserves it.
Sarah’s biological mother, Jo-Anne Brasse, claims that she has been fighting for custody of Sarah and her two brothers since 2007. She also claims ‘there were ongoing signs of mental abuse and neglect inside the home for months.’ She repeatedly tried to have the children removed from their father’s home, but was denied in court due to lack of evidence. Well, I hope they have enough evidence now.
Samantha Britain and David Brasse were taken to the Guadalupe County jail. Bond had not been set as of Wednesday afternoon. They are both being charged with criminally negligent homicide.
All of the children are now being cared for by Brasse’s mother. Who, by the way, says her son is a great father! Yeah…I can totally see that. Another relative stated that another child in the home had been sick with a stomach virus…Samantha and David just assumed that Sarah had the same bug. It’s been my experience that a common stomach bug usually passes within 24-hours. Two entire days of vomiting signals a problem. You don’t even have to be a trained EMT to figure that out.

Damn these morons. Damn them both straight to hell. Who puts a 10 year old in charge of sick siblings??
I have 6 children ranging from nearly 15 to nearly 2. I don’t put one in charge of the other even when they are HEALTHY. You don’t even catch me on here when they’re awake when I’m at home! My message to people like this is the same as my message to the lady that just popped out 8 babies when she couldn’t take care of the 6 she already had:
If you can’t take care of your kids, give them up to someone who can. An adult, mind you. Not a damn 10 year old!
3:31 pm on February 12th, 2009
OMG..Not today please…
3:36 pm on February 12th, 2009
I seriously can’t believe that their rule was for the sick kids to clean up after themselves. That’s just ridiculous and cruel.
3:43 pm on February 12th, 2009
Here’s hoping for a rockstar DA and a less-than-inspired defense lawyer. Even if the other child DID have a stomach bug and the parents honestly thought it was the same thing, these people need to go away for a LONG time for their callous stupidity.
3:44 pm on February 12th, 2009
Hell, they both LOOK like lazy asses!
3:46 pm on February 12th, 2009
Yeah…I can’t respect anyone who leaves cat shit and vomit laying around on the carpet.
And ignoring the cries of a sick and dying child? Heartless and cruel.
3:54 pm on February 12th, 2009
She is much what i imagine my little Kati will look like in 3 years.
Poor innocent children, will we ever wake up??? Poor girl died alone, I imagine scared. rest in the arms of an angel sweet girl. Sorry this is how you had to leave.
3:58 pm on February 12th, 2009
You all have no idea what you’re talking about. This article and others are filled with misleading lies. I know first hand that these two lived for Sarah. Samantha was sick and trying to take care of Sarah. The 10 year old boy was HELPING so Sarah wouldn’t catch what she had. You are all being mislead by the media. Shame on the people feeding off this and spreading lies, and shame on all of you for just buying into it. This is destroying a family right before your eyes and all you want to do is exploit it like it’s not even real, but it’s real to them and it’s real to me. Believe me i know more of this story than any of you and lies are coming from this story. And to the person that wrote this piece of trash article, i know you have no idea what happened, and i know you want to make a dollar off this, but remember there is a nice warm seat in hell for people like you. By the way, you didn’t even get her name right, RESEARCH BEFORE YOU WRITE!!!! MORON

Poor little angel. This makes me weep.

There is a nice place in hell for them too. Honey, 2 days of throwing up and bad diarrhea wouldn’t tell you to take your child to the doctor? Him being an EMT didn’t know that his child had appendicitis? Come on now. You say that they cared for her but not enough for them to pay attention to her pain and suffering and you say we’re going to hell. Screw you. This site does not make money off of this. This is a public shaming site. Nothing more nothing less.
Read this while you’re at it: http://www.dreamindemon.com/gunshot-by-computer/
4:04 pm on February 12th, 2009
Make a dollar? HA! That’s cute. As far as research goes…I did. Every single news article I looked at are saying the exact same thing that I reported here. If you have substantial proof that Sarah wasn’t dead and cold in her bedroom from appendicitis, I’d love to see it!
And what about the 6-year-old? Why is he now in the hospital?
As far as a warm seat in hell? Honey, I’ve had mine reserved for years!
4:05 pm on February 12th, 2009
you don’t know him or the family, keep your opinions to yourself!! all this article is doing is spreading lies!!
4:07 pm on February 12th, 2009
Ha….they didn’t take care of her as they should have. They both deserve to be charged in her death. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF THEY SOUGHT MEDICAL HELP!! It’s appendicitis. But they didn’t care. If they did, their daughter would be alive right now. And I can say whatever the hell I want to say about them. How bout I talk about their raggedy assed teeth while I’m at it?
4:09 pm on February 12th, 2009
thats not sarahs mother if you actually took the time to read the story, talk about her all you want
4:11 pm on February 12th, 2009
What are you talking about?
4:12 pm on February 12th, 2009
4:13 pm on February 12th, 2009
Shame on us? Uh excuse me bitch we are not the ones who wouldn’t take our children to the dr.
I spent 7 fucking hours in the hospital Tuesday evening after I got off work because my youngest one (15) throwing up and stomach pains and back pains. They ran blood work and a CT scan which show that she only had a stomach virus. If your stupid bitch of a friend (who doesn’t work) would have acted like a mother instead of a mother fucker her child might still be alive.
4:14 pm on February 12th, 2009
and what does their teeth have to do with anything?
4:14 pm on February 12th, 2009
As far as research goes you know nothing. all of you do not know what you’re talking about. This is my family, I know all these people, Sarah was my niece. So if you want to just damn people you don’t know because you heard some lies, go ahead. It’s your judgement.
4:15 pm on February 12th, 2009
Ahhh yes, and the cockroaches begin to scramble out of the woodwork. “The police are lying”, “the grandmother is lying”, the “press is lying”, hell…”even the rigored body on the floor is lying!”
I could be halfway to rigor myself, and if my child was puking, double over in pain, not eating and messing all over the place FOR TWO DAMN DAYS, I still wouldn’t put a 10 year old in charge of her and would still drag my half rigored ass out of the house to take her to the damn doctor!
It’s called parenting! It’s not a job for a 10 year old!
If you don’t like what you see, get the hell off the site. It truely is that simple.
4:15 pm on February 12th, 2009
LIke that matters? The bitch was supposed to be taking care of her!
4:16 pm on February 12th, 2009
Did Sarah die from appendicitis? Had she been throwing up for two days? Was she dead on her bedroom floor? Was there dried vomit scattered through the home? Is there another child in the hospital right now for a colon infection?
4:17 pm on February 12th, 2009
.
At least one of Sarah’s family members knew otherwise.
4:17 pm on February 12th, 2009
48 hours is still typical for a stomach virus and not especially concerning. But when your child is so sick, I can’t concieve of not caring for her in a hands on way – the way in which you’d notice things were bad and getting worse. Where the severe pain that accompanies appendicitis would become apparent and concern you enough to consult a Dr. If you can’t be there to offer real *adult* care for a very sick child because you’re working, or you’re sick, you call someone else to come do so. If there isn’t anyone else, you call in from work or you muscle through your own illness. But when your kid is too sick to be in your face annoying you while home sick from school, they need real monitoring. Lying dead for 2 hours, it seems clear this sweet girl didn’t have the benefit of that. And it would’ve saved her life, even if you did honestly mistake appendicitis for a stomach virus initially.
4:18 pm on February 12th, 2009
LOL!
Fail!
4:18 pm on February 12th, 2009
Jo-Anne Brasse lost her kids because she was trying to do horrible things to them, no one mentions that.
4:19 pm on February 12th, 2009
If I had had the information in front of me, I would have mentioned that. But, this story isn’t about Jo-Anne.
4:20 pm on February 12th, 2009
I have a serious problem with this statement. Ummm….. Part of being a parent, (and in this case step-parent) is taking care of sick children. That’s way beyond fucking selfish to not want to catch what the child has. But even better for the 10yr old to catch it then? What a fucking stupid statement. I hope you don’t have any kids that you could “catch” something from, you ignorant bastard.
And as for you…. America has the right to free speech. We will make opinions of these fucking assholes all we want. You don’t like it, don’t fucking read it. There, problem solved.
And for the both of you together, fuck off. You wanna defend a bunch of heartless bastards, go do it somewhere else. No one cares what you think of these fucking people. For an EMT not to be able to help his own daughter is absolutely disgusting!! And fuck the system that wouldn’t allow their birth mother to have her children. This is also on your heads.
4:20 pm on February 12th, 2009
In dad’s myspace- the pic of Sarah has a comment by Samantha that says “Princess Sarah” – In another of David and Sarah, Samantha comment – “I love her daddy.”
Jealousy killed this little girl.
4:20 pm on February 12th, 2009
Oddly enough, it doesn’t sound like Jo-Anne was in the immediate vicinity when Sarah died.
4:20 pm on February 12th, 2009
If this is your family and your little niece, why didn’t you help clean up their filthy puke and shit encrusted house and help take care of those kids? Don’t even try to defend them if you couldn’t be bothered to step in and help. You give some other proof, you can post it here. You find some police report that says otherwise, it’ll be posted. But for now, we’re going to shame them just like the uncaring fuckheads that they are. You commit a crime or do something heinous and newsworthy, you are open to public scrutiny.
4:22 pm on February 12th, 2009
That’s because Jo-Anne wasn’t responsible for them when one DIED. This isn’t about the biological mother. Now, if you’d like to address So Jaded’s questions, that would be helpful. If not, we’re going to have to lump you in with all the other obtuse, belligerent family members who show up here to defend monsters.
By the way – Our authors work on a volunteer basis because they all share an interest in shedding light on abusive scum. No one here is “making a dollar”. No one. In fact, this website costs the administrators money to maintain.
4:23 pm on February 12th, 2009
of course no one mentions that, they are making her out to be an amazing mother who was “fighting for her kids for over a year” but they never say why she had them taken away in the first place
and lizard it was really a legit question, i really don’t understand what their teeth have to do with any of this?
4:25 pm on February 12th, 2009
And you are dodging my questions. If you know so much about the family, help us out…shed a little light on the situation.
4:27 pm on February 12th, 2009
I have a feeling you are about to find out a lot of fucked up shit about your relatives as the case unfolds. I am sorry for you.
4:27 pm on February 12th, 2009
In case you missed them, here are the questions again.
4:29 pm on February 12th, 2009
And another interesting one from SoUncool:
4:30 pm on February 12th, 2009
Penelopejo was needling you, pointing out that she can say pretty much whatever she wants. And it just so happens that their teeth do not look well cared for.
Look, honestly, we don’t want to fight. But seriously, a beautiful little girl is needlessly dead. Why? Why is she dead? Are we to think the dad and stepmother are blameless?
4:33 pm on February 12th, 2009
you’re spreading lies. You don’t even know what you’re talking about. Everyone is forming an opinion based on what they read and hear in the media, but the media doesn’t even know. How can you not understand that? I guess your mind is just so empty and your life is so pathetic that you must thrive on the misery of others. My niece died because of a horrible accedent. This is none of your business. I don’t care if you’re making money off this, or just exploiting it for attention, either way, you should mind your own business. This is my family you’re slandering and i refuse to sit here while you try to justify yourself based on garbage you hear or make up.
4:35 pm on February 12th, 2009
no one knows the full story yet, the media is twisting everything to make a good story out of it, surprise surprise
the truth will come out, her father loved her this is such bullshit
4:36 pm on February 12th, 2009
First off i live hundreds of miles from there. Also there wasn’t puke everywhere. Thats a lie, AND there was a full cat litter box. SO WHAT? Is it illegal to not change your cat’s little box? They stick and they get full fast. this is NOT the issue.
4:37 pm on February 12th, 2009
You’re defense sucks. You can’t even answer a few simple questions to clear things up. If you think you know the ‘truth’….tell us.
4:37 pm on February 12th, 2009
Who cares about the damn cat shit? Was she or was she not dead and cold on her bedroom floor from appendicitis that had gone untreated?
4:38 pm on February 12th, 2009
we see the ugly no soul inside from the outside
4:38 pm on February 12th, 2009
No one is spreading lies. It’s in the police report. The EMT’s who arrived on scene determined she died a while before 911 was dialed. It’s not our fault your niece died at the hands of the people who are supposed to protect her. David should’ve realized that something was drastically wrong with her when she didn’t get better or wasn’t eating. So sad her life had to be snuffed out due to idiotic parents.
I said this:
In response to this:
Because I don’t have to keep my opinions to myself. They do have raggedy assed teeth. And that is a fact.
4:39 pm on February 12th, 2009
whats the point? you are going to believe the media anyways right? because if a reporter says it or you read it on the internet its true right??
4:40 pm on February 12th, 2009
LAZY ASSES!
What these two people aren’t is: Responsible Adults, Compassionate Adults, Unselfish Adults or even acting like…ADULTS! This man and woman were only together because they liked sleeping in the same bed… end of story. The kids are oft times unwanted baggage by the new partner. DD has recorded enough “evidence” of that fact for the general public to pretty-much realize what’s REALLY going-on in a situation like this one. Telling little kids to clean-up their own vomit and poop is bad enough, but the lazy bitch wouldn’t even clean up after the cat! Talk to the hand Justjae421 and johndoe26… duh
4:40 pm on February 12th, 2009
A child dead and cold on her floor and in full rigor is “an accident.” I hope someone is going to explain this, because I’m really eager to hear it.
4:40 pm on February 12th, 2009
I’m willing to listen…but I don’t think you have anything.
