Arlington, TX – Keashia Matthews has squished out a total of five children – but, because she has proven herself to be an idiot shitty mother in the past, she lost custody of two of those children some time back. That left her with three kiddos she needed to care and provide for. A task in itself for a two parent family blessed with functioning brain cells, it must have been quite the uphill battle for the single Keashia. Seeing as how her lovely mugshot is gracing the pages of the Dreamin’ Demon, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that Keashia has a history of neglecting her children. Suzette Edwards, Keashia’s mother, has custody of two of her children, now 14 and 12. Suzette gained custody after the 14-year-old was found alone and malnourished in a rancid apartment as an infant, and has had custody of the 12-year-old since she was born. “She (Keashia) has aggression issues, and she is not fit to be a mother,” Suzette said. “She never has been. She has never liked children.” That is just the tip of the iceberg.

According to CPS, Keashia is a pathological liar and may be suffering from an untreated mental illness. While I’m sure the file they hold on her is rather thick, here are a few goodies pulled from said file:
She lost custody of the first child after the baby “was found unsupervised, severely malnourished, unkempt, drugged by Ms. Matthews to make her sleep, and with severe physical and medical needs.” She lost custody of the second child at birth because of the history of abuse of the first child. She stated at the time that she “hated the child and did not want to have anything to do with her. Ms. Matthews has on many occasions stated that she does not like children.” Matthews attempted to burn down her mother’s house, attacked her mother with a knife and attacked her stepmother with a rake. Her third child was removed by CPS shortly after birth in March 2003 and returned to her in November. She was reportedly seen hitting and yelling at her third and fourth children in March. That allegation was later ruled out by CPS. In May, it was discovered that Keashia had been leaving her children, ages 6, 5, and 1, home alone during the day while she worked. CPS investigated and did nothing. CPS spokesman Chris Van Deusen had this to say about that particular incident: “While there is certainly a risk of harm in leaving three young children home alone, it’s not an ‘immediate’ risk because serious injury isn’t imminent.” The agency closed the neglect case after Keashia procured a sitter for the young ‘ens.
Fast forward to September 3. Keashia is once again lacking adequate day care and parenting skills. She loads 17-month-old Darrell into her SUV and heads to work. Possibly thinking that her son could do a damn fine job of caring for himself and keeping himself entertained while she brought home the bacon, Keashia left the kiddo strapped into his seat so “he wouldn’t get into stuff.” She did, however, periodically check on the child throughout the 8-hour long work day. About every 30-45 minutes. And, each time she ambled on out to the parking lot, she would run the AC for a few minutes for the little tyke – after all, it was a whoppin’ 98 degrees out that day. When she popped out at about 3:00 that afternoon with a nice cold drink for Darrell, she noticed “he looked kinda funny and a little red.” And well, he was unresponsive. No biggie, she’d get him to the hospital, right? Wrong. First she had to pick the other two up from school. By the time she arrived at the hospital, it was too late for little Darrell. His body temperature was 107. Toasty…
Keashia Matthews, 37, was arrested last week and faces a felony charge of injury to a child. She was released over the weekend after posting a $13,000 bond. Someone needs a uterus removal…
