« « Jerry and Lisa Damron’s Extraordinary Adventure | Olivia Bunn Hires Hitmen To Rough Up Her Baby’s Daddy » »

Sheboygan, WI SaturdaySaturday reviewsSaturday reviews nights at the Kroening/Morgan household sound like a real hoot! Pills get popped, copious amounts of alcohol get consumed, cigarette butts get collected, tempers get flared, and little-bitty baby bones get broken. What more could you ask for in entertainment? In the wee morning hours of June 28, Samantha Morgan, 18, appeared in the emergency room with her 10-month-old daughter — the child was suffering from two broken ankles and first- and second-degree burns to her head, shoulder, chest, and back. Samantha initially gave the old ‘oopsie I fell on the baby’ spiel as an excuse for the injuries. Possibly sensing that the bullshit story wasn’t going to wash, Samantha later called back and recanted. Her second version was a bit more realistic.

Samuel Kroening

Samantha and her boyfriend, Samuel Kroening, 20, had been drinking with a neighbor and some friends that evening. Overcome by nicotine fits, the couple left the child with the drunken neighbor and set off to the nursing home down the street to collect used cigarette butts.  Somehow, and for some reason, these geniuses sterilize the butts and smoke them. Um, eww? I’m all for saving money, but second-hand cigs? No thanks. Anyway, the couple returned to the neighbor’s home to collect the sleeping baby. Who, at that time, was in good health and suffering no broken bones. Later that evening, Samuel decided to bathe the child. During the child’s bath, Samuel came out to the kitchen and threw a fit. He slammed a knife down onto the counter, cutting his hand in the process. He then returned to the bathtub to continue bathing the child. At this point, Samantha states that the child began to scream “louder than she typically does during baths.” Finished with bath time, Samuel retired to the bedroom where he fell asleep with the child on his chest. Samantha, in the middle of another nicotine fit and unable to sleep, left the home and made another trip to the nursing home. Butts collected and on her way back home, Samantha heard Samuel yelling that “something happened” to the baby. When Samantha entered the apartment, she found the child “bleeding from a laceration her leg that had bone or muscle protruding.” Holy. Hell. Police later found blood splatters on the headboard and bed.

Samuel kept repeating to Samantha, and later the police, that he didn’t know what happened. He initially said that he had noticed the child’s injuries while he was bathing her. But then, he changed his story and said he discovered the injuries when he woke up. It’s hard to ‘member stuff when you’re all fucked up. He did, however, remember that before the alleged abuse occurred, he had taken two Hydrocodone pills, 4 – 5 shots of brandy, 4 – 5 cans of beer, a 40-ounce beer and an alcoholic energy drink. Samuel Kroening was charged with two felony counts of second-degree reckless injury. He is being held on $25,000 and a probation hold from a previous robbery conviction. No stranger to the law, Samuel has previous convictions for robbery, disorderly conduct, and resisting or obstructing an officer. Nice fucking guy…

The child, initially admitted to the hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries, is now recovering in a foster home.

    Samantha has deleted her myspace, couldn’t find the cached version….
    undercovervixen: I’m guessing, you left her a *ahem* supportive message and she didn’t quite get it, the way you meant it, and all that….
    Too bad Kroening didn’t cut that hand off, although, I believe he had already scalded the little angel, still, wishing he had, he might not have been able to break her ankles with the one hand! He’s a worthless coward and Samantha Morgan is too! I pray the two asshats don’t get another opportunity to have any more “accidents” with this child or any others, for that matter!

    Good write-up SoJaded!! I’m with you on the collecting of butts….GRODY!!

    It’s still there but UV’s link has a period at the end that doesn’t exist in the real URL. It is set to private now, though.

    How loud does her baby “normally scream” during baths? Every parent I know uses bath time as an awesome bonding time with their kids. No screams that aren’t happy giggle screams. WTF were they doing to her?

    This really does support my belief that single women with babies need to keep the boyfriends out of the house until the kids can do some damage to an attacker. This belief is based wholly on DD posts. Seriously.

    This situation is so cliche around here that it needs a permanent board where all of these get posted. “Asshole Boyfriends Who Injure/Murder Girlfriend’s Bab(y)ies”

    Even the new story sounds like B.S. Who gives a child a bath that late at night? He is the one that needs a bath. Rot in hell Sam!

    I was trying to find out if anyone has any follow up on this story. Do we know what happened to the baby? Where is her mother and boyfriend now?

    the baby is still in foster care as of the last report.

    Samuel A. Kroening is charged with two felony counts of second-degree reckless injury and faces a maximum of 27 years in prison, if convicted. Assistant District Attorney Joel Urmanski said the charges may be amended because he now has medical reports that weren’t available when charges were originally filed July 10.

    Thanks very much for the update. I feel so sad for this child. What about the Mom? Do we know if there are going to be any charges for her? Is she getting any help to maybe getting her daughter back and preventing this from happening again?
