Tone Johnson Was Feeling Stabby
July 7, 2009 by Jaded
Corpus Christi, TX — Tone Johnson just can’t keep his ass out of trouble. When police were called to his estranged wife’s home last Monday on a domestic violence call, they found that he had an active warrant out for *gasp* a previous domestic violence case, and they locked him up. “He came at 5:30 in the morning and said if I don’t leave with him he’s going to go kill my kids,” said Dorathy Johnson. His mother bailed his violent butt out of jail and nearly a week later, he’s back in the pokey. It wasn’t his wife he assaulted this time…it was his 5-month-old son, Antonio Johnson. Seems he may have been attempting to follow through on that threat against his children.
Because of the ongoing abuse and violence in the marriage, CPS stepped in, and rather than having the kids placed in a foster home, Dorathy voluntarily handed her three children over to their grandmother – Tone’s mother. The children were at their grandmother’s home SundaySunday reviews
evening, when their daddy decided to pay a visit and attend a family barbecue. At some point that night, grandma handed the baby over to Tone so she could attend to the two other children. When grandma came back to collect little Antonio, she saw blood seeping from the infant’s chest. She told police she asked Tone what happened, but he didn’t answer – he ran. Antonio is now recovering from a non-life threatening chest wound and is said to be doing ok.
Tone Johnson III, 33, turned himself in later that evening and is being held on two counts of injury to a child. His bonds total $115,000. Let’s hope his mommy doesn’t bail him out again…little Antonio might not be so lucky next time.

Tone, you’re a coward! what comes around, goes around. I hope Antonio grows big and strong, and comes looking for you. I’m sure you’ll be easy to find (in jail).

Grandma’s either terribly misinformed or mildly retarded. And, WTF was CPS thinking? And, was no-contact with the children he threatened not a condition of his release?
This reeks of fail.

Another CPS fail… It should be re-named to CN-PS (Children’s Non-Protective Service.) When will they learn to not put children in the homes of the offenders’ family?
Personally, I think that the victims should be given a “wrist-watch” type of alert system, and the offenders given an “ankle-bracelet” that reports back to LE & Parole Officers when it comes within the proscribed physical limits of the victims’ “protected” perimitter. Yeah, a lot more arrests, and a few less assaults & deaths… STILL a good trade-off for a minor inconvenience to the victims, and potential victims.

Oh Tone, you fucktard. I hope your momma doesn’t bail your sorry ass out again. Stay in there and rot

I have no faith in many of those “child service” agencies. There are some individuals who care, but I think most just want to get paid. This looks like a rare, complete cluster fuck all the way down the line. Tone, if you’re reading this: Somebody should stab you and your stupid mother in the ass.

I think most CPS employees start out caring. Christ, most of them are naive, starry-eyed young women thinking they’ll save the world one child at a time. But, as the years apply wrinkles to their faces and their case loads multiply the greys on their head exponentially, they, like many others in sensitive professions, become desensitized.
Not to mention the bureacracy factor. Wouldn’t be the first time a child was forced into a bad situation because, despite red flags, case workers were forced to follow protocol.

I’m thinking, sense MommaTone bailed BoyTone out of jail, and felt rather victorious that the “crazy” daughter in law was urged (by CPS, I’m sure)to sign over “temporary” custody of the children to her, that she could maybe, uh, “ignore” the clause that possibly said “Do not allow BoyTone to be around these children, until the ongoing investigation is complete” because she reasoned that MommaTone knows BoyTone better than anybody, and she raised him to respect women and children, and it was a “family” barbeque for goodness sake….. Just me and My sarcastic opinion!

The system does it again…..FUCKED UP BIG TIME

the system failed that baby,,,, grandma failed that baby… daddy failed that baby…. wonder if she will be trying to bail his dumb ass out of the pokey this time

So maybe I missed something, but why did the children even need to handed over to CPS…shouldn’t the mother of had police protection if they were so worried about him harming them? Let me re-read, hang on. Ok so it says ongoing abuse, not too specific, but to be honest if she voluntarily gave custody’s to the jackwad’s Mom, who bailed him out, then she’s not thinking correctly or some shit. Lots of failure going on here!
