Tyler Goss: Death By Binky
July 10, 2009 by Jaded
St. John, MO – If ever there were a perfect tool for parenting, it’s the pacifier. On one hand, I can’t tell you how many hours of much needed sleep I can attribute to the beloved binky…with a couple of my own children, and later, my grandson. On the other hand, binkies can be a real pain in the ass – especially if the kid really doesn’t want to be corked. My son, who never was a fan of the pacifier, was a world class binky spitter…he could pop that thing out of his mouth and across the room in the blink of an eye, without a break in the screaming. I did what many parents do, let him scream until he wore himself out or walk the floor with him until he fell asleep. It never crossed my mind to tie a blanket around his little face to keep that cork in his mouth. Authorities believe that is exactly what Stacey Johnson did to her 2-month-old son, Tyler.
Stacey Johnson
Last Friday, at about 7:30 p.m., Stacey put Tyler to bed. Apparently, Tyler wasn’t quite ready for bed and began to fuss. After popping the infant’s pacifier back into his mouth time and time again, Stacey grew a little frustrated. She put the binky into the boy’s mouth and tied a receiving blanket around his head, covering his mouth and nose, to assure the binky stayed in place. Tyler was finally quieted….for good. When Stacey went back into the room at around 12:45 to check on him, he wasn’t breathing. Tyler Goss was pronounced dead at the hospital…the ME determined the cause of death to be suffocation.
Tyler’s father, Darren Goss, thinks Stacey was tired and confused that night and wants to make it clear that he is standing by his girlfriend. “Everyone wants to be like she did this on purpose. And I think her intent was only to quiet him down. I don’t believe she just thought she had one child too many.” Darren wonders if Tyler’s death could have been prevented. Ummm, duh? Of course it could have been prevented! I don’t believe Stacey intended to kill the baby, but I don’t believe it was fatigue and confusion that killed Tyler, either. I think it was his mother’s laziness, period. “I can kinda understand what she was probably trying to think of,” Darren said. “I mean she could have just woke me up but she was trying to let me sleep and didn’t want anybody else to wake up so just did the best thing she thought, but it just happened to be the wrong thing.” Stacey has three other children, so she isn’t new to the whole mommy thing. Speaking of her other children, it is reported that DCFS has had contact with the family on several previous occasions, but nothing came out of it.
“I’m very shocked that something like that has been said,” said Stacey’s mother, Teresa, of the charges. She believes her daughter is innocent and the charges against her are false. After all, Stacey pulled the receiving blanket trick with Tyler just last week and Tyler didn’t die that time. “I think she did it to keep the pacifier in his mouth. And by tying it around his face and his mouth I don’t know if she was in the right state of frame to where she thought it was going to suffocate him,” she added.
Stacey Johnson, 30, confessed to what happened during her third interview with police. She is being held on $200,000 cash only bond and is facing charges of second-degree murder and endangering the welfare of a child. Her surviving children, ages 1, 3, and 6 are staying with relatives for the time being.

As a parent to a one year old, stories like this make me sick. Lazy, negligent parenting is so disgusting. The father doesn’t sound any too distraught about the death of his baby. He sounds more like she shrunk his favorite sweater in the wash.

I’m pretty sure they sell duct tape in Missouri.
For the love of Pete. I wonder what other handy little tricks she thought up.

If he didn’t want the damn binky, don’t give him the damn binky. Work to make your child happy you lazy bitch! Why would she even think that was ok?
11:34 am on July 10th, 2009
Stupid bitch.. if he was crying and didn’t want it then it meant he wanted something else, like maybe a diaper change, bottle of cereal and not milk, or maybe the little fella needed to be held.
She looks like the lady with the pink sex toy in the story earlier ;-D

What the hell is a “state of frame”!?
I can’t believe anyone could actually defend this miserable cunt. How the fuck does tying a blanket around a baby’s mouth and nose seem like an even REMOTELY good idea?????

I am the mother of a one year old. Yeah times are tuff raising him while his father is out of state, but NEVER ONCE did I ever think of doing a stupid ass stunt like that. My son also NEVER liked a pacifier. He cried and cried and cried for the first 4 months of his life. He always wanted to eat and be held. So, to make life a little easier for me, I kept a bottle handy and kept him close to me. Was I stressed out? HELL YEAH!!! A child is a gift from God. I could never imagine hurting my son. If a child is makin u crazy, put them in a safe place until u calm down. It don’t hurt them to cry.

She got pissed, did something stupid,dot, period. The sister says “I don’t know if she was in the right state of frame“, WTF!? And the biggest bunch of bull from all of this is “Oh yea! We done it a week ago and it worked just fine!” F*&CKING HILLBILLIES!!!

This is why pacifiers are called “fuzzy suckers” in my family. They get spit out, fall on the floor and get covered in hair in no time.
I’m really thankful that my 7 month old niece who is living with me currently is an exceptionally jovial little gal. All smiles and cooing. Of course, that means if I ever have a baby, I’ll get the colicky one.

Neck tattoo alert!
I think she was trying to refer to the word, “mind”, but having lost her own, she has no frame (pun intended) of reference to make the corresponding connection.
When an individual’s mouth is sealed against their will, whether an adult or a child, the possibility strongly exists that they will experience suffocation. When the person is in fear or discomfort and is crying, this possibility becomes a probability, especially in the case of children.
Even when in good health, most infants and toddlers often have sinus issues, and the telltale runny noses to match, and this causes them to be almost exclusively mouth breathers.
In the case of a screaming two month old infant, it should be painfully obvious to even the family dog that the child’s only airway is by mouth, and IMO, when cases like this one occur, I personally have a very difficult time believing that this is not the premeditated intent and desired outcome of the parent.
I’d like to seal her nose and mouth shut, and let her try to breathe through
a coffee stirrer.

Oh, SNAP! Nice catch, Siobhan! Where’s my cattle prod?!?

How do you accidentally tie ANYTHING around a baby’s head? Even if the child’s nose was not covered and the sinuses clear, I would worry about spit up/drool being aspirated. Babies are not noted for their smarts in figuring out what to do in an emergency.

To be fair, neither are people with neck tattoos.

what ever happened to changing the baby, trying to feed it, and if all else fails put it in its crib, shut the door half-way and let it cry??? i was a lazy mom, breast fed my daughter and for the first couple of months she slept in bed with me (yeah, i know and i’ve heard it all but she’s 5 so get over it), if she woke in the night i would change her then roll over and stick a boob in her mouth. when she started sleeping by herself she was always fussy in her crib…so i’d feed her, change her, then let her cry….
she would cry for about 10 minuets and then be out..

That made me laugh.. Thank you Athena, your still rocking

My kids never had a binky, they always wanted a tit. Some things you never grow tired of.
Titless bitch!

Too bad the bitch’s owm mom didn’t try this trick out on her when she was a baby.

I don’t even think it was his favorite sweater, the way he sounded.
5:03 pm on July 11th, 2009
ok….Now tell me who in their right mind,( maybe that sentence there stands alone)would even think it would be ok, to tie a blanket around a baby’s head to…hold a binky in place??? This is just not even something that would cross the mind of a semi-sane individual. This already child bearing and raising mother should not even be put into the same classifications as “Mothers” she’s a piece of shit, waste and doesn’t deserve any sympathy…excuses excuses…that’s all they have to say anyways.
Rest In peace little one…God bless.

And to have peopl back these shit bags up…is disgusting.

Not gonna lie. When my boys were babies, they were binky addicts. Totally hooked. When they’d lose the binky in the middle of the night, or that much needed nap, believe you me, it crossed my mind that there ought to be a way to strap that thing on so it didn’t fall out of their mouth. My husband worked sometimes over 70 hours a week (still does, but now I’m used to it), so not only was I exhausted, I was trying to do it all by myself. I GET being tired and desperate for baby to sleep and not wake anyone else up. But seriously… what kind of idiot do you have to be to tie a blanket around a baby’s face?? I mean, “they” tell you not to even let a baby have a blanket in the crib because of the suffocation risk (same as crib bumpers, stuffed animals, flat sheets, pillows, etc), so tell me how tying it around his face would seem like a reasonable alternative?? Ugh.
And totally LOL at the neck tattoo comments.

Ya know what- the authorities need to take all her kids from her …and for God Sake do not give them to the stupid ass relatives…they sound like a bunch of trailer trash hillbillies…She is how old and has a bunch of kids already…is the “boyfriend” the father of all of them? Good Gawd…and he’s going to stick up for her??? She must be a hell of a piece of tail for him to just shrug his shoulders and accept the fact that she killed that baby…Hope you assholes have a bunch of money…since she’s worth going to bat for…you’re going to have to cough up big bucks to get her out of trouble…and if you can’t buy her way out of prison…won’t that be a fun outing for the family and surviving kids…let’s go visit mommy dearest in prison!
