What I want to know, is, Where were this childs advocates, during his life? If Arshon was born in a prison and egg-donor is then released and given custody of him, wouldn’t they be monitored by DCFS? No one came to his aid or noticed the scars?
As far as the Asshat with a new doo, the witness, I can’t really expect much in the way of interference, I mean what kind of tard gets their hair done by Angel? Unless of course they’re blind, look at that doo she is sportin’!!
Arshon, God hold you in His arms and love you, eternal….

Not too long ago, I read an op-ed about a situation in Chicago involving, if I recall correctly, a white woman being fired for reporting a black woman giving a child a whoopin’ in a bathroom. It brought about an interesting discussion about racial disparities in regard to child abuse. The op-ed was written by a black, female author and, in a nutshell, while she tried to maintain that disciplinary beatings aren’t really a black thing, the rest of the article seems to contradict that statement.
Combine that with the “stop snitchin’” or “it’s not my business” mentality often exhibited in the hood, and it creates an environment conducive to pretty horrific abuse. Clearly, it’s not exclusive to lower-income blacks – plenty of white folks beat the hell outta their kids. But, for whatever reason, “whuppings” seem to be more entrenched – and acceptable – within the black community, which likely contributed to the witness’s unwillingness to get involved.
Ah… found the article.

I am a aa and yes whuppings is highly common in the aa community. Althought I did get them as a child and they work well when I was a kid in getting me to think before I did something stupid, I feel like violence is not the key too anything when it comes to trying to get your point across. I simply hit my son where it hurts by taking his Wii or making him spend his whole weekend in the house no phone, computer, etc. whuppings is something that has been embedded in the aa community for a long time. I remember my mom always telling me about when she was little that if you acted up at school you would get one, when you misbehaved in the community the neighbor would whipp your behind and then take you home and your parents would do the same, that were the saying “it take a whole neighborhood to raise a child came in too play”.
No excuses, what she did to this baby was abuse, and the bitch who sat there needs to be in jail also. I feel it is pretty selfish and heartless to whip a child for something they should already have which is YOUR ATTENTION. Besides you have too be a pretty mean person to always resort to whipping your child when they misbehaved. I recall whipping my son once and I was so heart broken that I cryed and apologized too him later, I felt like a bully, that was the first and last time I did that.

Wow, she could play the “half-man/half-woman” in the next Cirque du Freak movie.
That poor baby – he did not deserve to be beaten to death, but at least he’s free from that stupid ugly twat now.

Very well said Mzkea.
Although I come from the generation where you might have gotten a light smack on the hand if reaching for danger – electrical outlets, hot stoves, etc. – or a swat on the bottom for misbehavior as a toddler, by the time I was 5 or 6, grounding or restriction from TV, gadgets, and toys was a far more effective form of punishment and deterrent to my future behavior(s).
Personally speaking, I don’t think corporal punishment teaches children anything positive; the mixed message dichotomy incorporates fear, anger and
violence. Too often, we teach our children not to hit others, and punish this behavior in turn, by hitting them.
The lesson children learn from this is, “Do as I say, not as I do”, and this duplicitous mentality can cascade down through many generations to come.
This poor child was systematically tortured for years by his heartless egg donor, and he never stood a chance in the 5 years of hell he suffered during his short little life.
What a heartbreaking waste and destruction of such a precious gift.

Thank you for your comments Mzkea. Why do you think Whuppings are more common and acceptable in the AA culture and community? I know it is being phased out slowly. maybe too slowly.

I am not aa but I did get spanked, I too believe it was to make me think before making bad decisions the next time, alot of time there were many chances, this is my last time telling you or wait until your dad gets home. There were the count down. My mother never ever hit me – dad did all the spanking and I remember welts from the belt and hand prints on my thighs. But for the most part I was daddy’s little girl and he wanted me to do what makes me happy. He did alot of bending to keep from having to spank me. Usually the action to undo his belt bucket was enough to make me change my ways.
With my kids time out in their rooms, or not having friends over. This all changes with age. But as they got older it wasn’t easy taking away those cables and cords. Son can get really violent don’t take his electronics geeeeesh. Where do you go for parent abuse.
In all seriousness – I have very few problems with my kids – Whooping and Spanking is just no longer appropriate because the schools continually prompt the kids to tell someone if your being hit. Everyone Knows you have your kids taken away and or go to jail for this type behavior.
And who knows first hand about that is half man half woman Baker lol… What a Sicko I would love to see what them women in prison do to that skank.
That woman that told her not to beat him like that neeeeeds to go there right along with her – maybe not for life but as to set an example that if you don’t do something you are going down too.
Always … makes me wonder … what the hell could this child of done that was sooooooo damn bad to be treated this way…. where is grandma, grandpa somebody had to know this had been a norm for her…… Sickkkkkkkkk woman!

Angel’s two surviving children, ages 1 and 7, are staying with relatives.
This disturbs me. Where were these relatives when Arshon was getting the shit whooped out of him for FIVE YEARS??? Those weren’t brand new bruises – he had SCARS – which take time to form from PREVIOUS abuse! Where the fuck were his relatives when he needed them??
RIP Arshon. Big fat fail to everyone who knew this heinous bitch he called “momma”.

Most, if not all, of my black friends are advocates of “whoopins”, but I know they don’t think that beating your kids with an extension cord or scarring them qualifies as “discipline”.
The line between discipline and abuse is not that fine. If you’re already told someone they shouldn’t beat their child like that, and they don’t stop, you need to call the authorities, period.

So sad. I’m sure this child had so much fear, disappointment, lonliness, isoclation and unhappiness in his short life. It breaks my heart just thinking about it.

The detail about this sorry excuse for a mother that caught my attention the most was that her son walked up to her and tugged on her skirt. My son does that when he wants my attention. It melts me every time, no matter how busy I am or how deeply I’m concentrating. I’m easily angered and I hate to be distracted. But when I look down at my son’s big blue eyes, even when he keeps grabbing the computer mouse and messing me up while I’m typing up a comment on Dreamin’ Demon (yep, that’s what he’s doing now,) I am filled with a love greater than anyone ever thought possible from me. That poor baby loved his mama as much as my baby loves me and she beat and killed him for it.

Poor wee baby. I would love to be locked in a room with this bitch for a while. How any mother could do what she has done is completely beyond me.

Angel Glass, 24, was indicted today in the beating death of her 5-year-old son. She is charged with aggravated murder, child endangering and felonious assault. She’s being held on a $1 million bond.
“Because the victim was under the age of 13, Glass faces the death penalty,” prosecutor’s spokesman Ryan Miday said.
Arshon died Oct. 24 of blunt force trauma to the head, neck, trunk and extremities, the Cuyahoga County Coroner said.
Arshon had abrasions and bruises on his forehead, nose and cheeks. He also had old injuries, including fractured wrists, prosecutors said today.
[...]
After her Oct. 23 arrest, Glass’s two daughters were placed in foster care.
Glass’s live-in boyfriend, Larry Wanzo, 22, was arrested Oct. 24, when he wouldn’t let detectives with a search warrant into his Ovington Avenue home. He was indicted today on a charge of obstructing justice. He’s being held on a $250,000 bond.

Disgusting.
Angel Glass, 24, was a wanted woman the day her 5-year-old son was fatally beaten.
There was a warrant out for her arrest after she failed to appear in court on two counts of felonious assault.
She was indicted Oct. 16, 2007, and failed to appear for arraignment two weeks later. An arrest warrant was sent to the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office, which is responsible for rounding up defendants who fail to appear.
Glass remained free for two years, until Oct. 23, when her son was rushed to MetroHealth Medical Center and doctors told police the boy had been beaten.

i am of hispanic origin and was myself raised in the ‘hood’ (murchison road area of fayetteville, nc) and yes many african americans believe in whoopins as do i….the differnce between a whoopin and a ‘beating’ is that u spank on the behind for either doin something very dangerous or actin up in school…many of my friends parents growin up and my parents gave us all whoopins…i give my own kids whoopins when takin priveliges, groundin etc doesnt work….i use it as a last resort….and a whoopin NEVER results in objects bein used (unless its a belt, which rarely do i use) and never to the point of leaving marks….THATS what is considered a beating…beatings leave marks and r done to more parts of the body that just the butt….the women sayin its a black thing to whoop ur kid is wrong….i know plenty of caucasians that ‘whoop’ their kids too….its all in how u do it…and it has to b for a major offence
i feel so bad for that poor baby boy, born in prison then given to a monster he im sure loved and adored…all kids love their mommies at that age….and thats just heartbreaking….i hope big bertha gets her and all the other mommies in the jail that miss their own kids and want a peice of her ass since shes such a pussy she has to beat on a baby!! RIP lil man….ur with God now…ull never have to feel pain again

check with ur local DSS of DFCS (whatever u call it there) i had someone call on me for spankin my son and after he was checked and had no marks and i did admit to spankin him i was told it was appropriate discipline as long as no marks r left (which i never left marks ever neway) but this is NC im talkin about…i dont know what rules they have where u live
