Safe Haven Laws Exist For A Reason

Johnston, Rhode IslandOnce upon a time, Crystal Sullivan had a baby. Crystal, 20, also had a very busy life–college, soccer, socializing, boyfriend, etc. We parents know how difficult it can be to have a life away from our children, especially when they are so small and needy. Not Crystal, though. Nope. She’sShe reviewsShe reviews got it all figured out. Instead of tucking her newborn into it’s bed at night and kissing it’s smooth little forehead, Crystal stuck her infant into a plastic container. Instead of that ‘new baby’ smell, Crystal’s infant has that lovely odor of decomposing flesh.

It was that ‘dead baby’ scent that led to the discovery of Crystal’s newborn child Tuesday evening. Crystal’s mother, the infant’s grandmother, after having smelled the foul odor for several days, found the decomposing child in some sort of plastic container, hidden underneath a shed. Investigators don’t know exactly how old the infant was, but stated that ‘the child was possibly just a few days old at the time of death.’ Though Crystal admitted to giving birth to the child, police aren’t sure when the baby was born or how long it had been under the shed. The baby is now at the M.E.’s office, awaiting autopsy and cause of death.

The picture you see above isn’t a mug shot–it’s from the women’s soccer roster at the Community College of Rhode Island. Crystal hasn’t been charged with a crime. She was questioned by police and released the same day…at this time, no charges are being filed. Wait…what? Even if she didn’t physically kill the child, and I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt here, she faces no charges for leaving the poor thing in a fucking plastic coffin? To rot? How the hell does that happen? I’ll be watching this one….

    You have to be kidding, a few days old? Did she really think she would get away with hiding it in daddies shed? good grief.  good thing she is dumb so she gets caught easily. During the trial she will realize what she should have done to properly dispose of a 3 day old. Hopefully she will have many years behind bars to think about it. Unless of course, there is a good
    excuse for throwing a three day old away like so much trash.

    This makes me sick! What is wrong with these girls who kill their children and then dump them!!!!  Her mother just dug up her grandchild and Crystal gets to go home????  Another baby killer in our world!
    This maybe her myspace   http://www.myspace.com/458312750

    No Charges???????????????????????????
    Even if the child was stillborn the very least she should
    face is improper disposal of a body. But no charges????????????
    Who are the parents in this community? Are they well to do?
    Me thinks had this been a “different” girl there would have already
    been charges and alegations flying.

    I was wondering about the picture, I was going to say CRAZY!  Sad for many reasons…..

    She’s a pretty girl and I’m sure she’s a great girl from a great family.   I’m thinking she’s going to get a slap on the wrist if that.

    Once the autopsy report comes back, it is my guess that formal charges will be filled. She killed a baby, they won’t go easy on her just because she is pretty and comes from a great family.

    I’m confused why it took Mom so long to realize the baby was missing? A couple days in a plastic container under a shed and the grandmother didn’t know the baby was gone?!

    To show absolutely no regard for human life, she should be sterilized to guarantee no baby ever has to suffer her abuse again.

    May be a case of power over principle? It happens a lot. Without knowing the families background and ties to the community, I can only speculate.

    I am guessing this is another of the “Nobody knew she was pregnant”
    cases.
    I am just floored at all of these to be honest I looked like the broad side of a
    barn when I was pregnant. NO WAY anybody was going to miss it.

    I played soccer with Crystal for several years when we were younger and to see/hear her name on the news the other day blew my mind!

    How can anyone do that to their baby? And from what I’ve heard, the parents never knew anything about this pregnancy. She doesn’t live at home but with her boyfriend, so he obviously must have known.

    The fact that she was released after questioning is beyond me. As soon as we find out the autopsy results, she’ll get the punishment she deserves!

    I’ll tell you how, I lived in this state for a few years. The laws are fucking ridiculous. Read the Projo and see what goes on in this place. Everyone gets suspended sentences for shit like DWI’s that result in death. On today’s front page you have an 18 year old who was driving drunk and killed a mother of two. He got 10 years, suspended of course, 10 years probation and 2 years house arrest. What the fuck is going on in Rhode Island?? The gene pool is too small and even the people who are supposed to be preventing this stuff have become effected by incest madness!! Un fucking believable!!

    I wonder how this will affect her social life. A baby corpse is a strong association to shake off. And I don’t think a person’s goalkeeping skills can replace mothering skills, no matter how hard you practice, Crystal. I’m give this one an F, for Fucking ridiculous.

    whatever………she needs to rot in jail for the rest of her life, but she will only get a couple years. how effed up is that? if she killed an adult she would get life but for killing her baby she will get a year or two…..

    Has anyone looked at the myspace page?  Says she feels “bloated” .. Wonder why? and she’s a health care worker? Seems a Health Care Worker would know what to do with a sick baby, other than the standard plastic container, of course.. HMMM.    Snapshot of a perfect mother.  And that’ s definitely her on the myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/458312750

    she’s cute, too bad she’s going to spend a few years eating big momma’s coochie….  Maybe she’ll pick up some crazy disease that will make her sterile.

    Don’t you love how none of the friends on her myspace are sickened enough to make comments?  I think if I found out one of my “friends” had done something like this, I wouldn’t have the discretion to NOT comment on there, just for the sake of making MYSELF feel better.

    Hopefully police questioned the boyfriend with whom she lived, and they are awaiting autopsy results.  I find it interesting she put NO under “Do You Drink” on her My Space, when clearly there are pictures of her drinking and notations about getting shit faced.   I don’t think she is too bright, and stupidly hoped this situation would just go away once she buried the baby.  Since she had other options, she gets no sympathy from me.  This baby deserved so much better.

    women like this do not deserve kids. it should be illegal for them to ever have children!
