Fort Wayne, Indiana I imagine it’s extremely difficult to be a conscientious DCS employee and manage to keep your ass out of jail. It must be a balancing act composed of restraint and resourcefulness. Those employees who are an attribute to their profession seems to go to any length to make a difference in children’s lives. The bad ones seem to lend a helping hand with destroying them. And as I sit here attempting to write up this story I have to wonder just how in the hell these DCS case workers kept from turning on Amanda Alvather and not beating the living shit right out of her for what she did to her children.
Amanda Alvather
In October, DCS workers contacted police to help investigate a report of child neglect. Once inside they found Amanda’s three children malnourished, lethargic, and covered with feces while wearing clothes soaked with urine with the smell permeating through the apartment. Her children, aged 1,2, and 3 years old all suffered from different forms of neglect. The two daughters showed old signs of frostbite as there was no heat in the apartment. Her son, (2) was emaciated to the point of disbelief from his grandmother. When the children were removed from the home in October, the boy was put in her arms. “I didn’t think the little guy would make it until the weekend I really didn’t. I thought I was going to break him. He was nothing but bones and I mean you could feel every bone in his body. He was just real thin. It was like an Ethiopian child or like an abandoned dog that hadn’t eaten for days.” It was also apparent the child had not been given the proper medical attention he required for his Down’s Syndrome. (He was 2 years old and weighed 13 pounds)
Amanda blamed her financial situation for the neglect and the fact she had not properly cared for her children. And even though her picture looks as though she were busy feeding herself, she managed to keep her children “nourished” on homemade glucose. (sugar water) Yep, that’s right! Her children existed on sugar water. Their living conditions were horrendous as well. Harmful chemicals were found out and accessible, there wasn’t sufficient food and liquids for consumption, and it seems Amanda placed an additional lock on her apartment door to keep her children nice and cozy while she was away.
The children were immediately removed from Amanda’s care and into the hospital for evaluation. All three were suffering from a delay in developing their motor skills as well as not being able to speak. The 2 year old boy was admitted to the hospital for dehydration, hyperglycemia, and neglect. Although the children were removed prior to anything more catastrophic happening, Amanda Alvather (24) was charged July 2, with two counts of neglect of a dependent. What the hell? Probable Cause Statement
Way to be a great mother to these children Amanda. Way to stuff your face while your children were starving to death. It takes a badass to leave children that young to freeze while you were obviously comfortable doing what you wanted. I hope the authorities find more charges to slap on your pathetic ass and you spend a great amount of time locked away thinking about the shitstorm you created for yourself and your innocent children.
