Father Finds Baby Underneath Unresponsive Babysitter, Both Dead

If the amount of flesh was that great, I’m inclined to believe the baby actually stuck in one of her folds and just happened to fall out.

This story is so tragic I am sure the babysitter had no idea she was going to die, and subsequently kill the tiny baby.  My heart goes out to the parents of little Michael and the family of the woman.

I hope it was her fatness & not some fucking sort of drug usage that made her keel over.

I hope it wasn’t drug related, too, although that would at least give us someone to be angry at.  What an awful, tragic situation.  I feel horrible for the child’s family as well as the woman’s.  The parents will likely always hold resentment towards the woman’s family and they will, in turn, probably always feel somehow responsible.  The whole thing sucks overall.

This is very sad, but

““I searched every room,” Baldwin said. “I was saying his name, ‘Michael! Michael!’””

…how the Hell would he expect a one MONTH old baby to respond to that?  ”Over here on the couch, Father!  I’m in the most uncomfortable position of being squished by this hambeast!”

perhaps.  i was thinking that she considered taking care of this child beneath her…

People call to their dogs when they can’t find them without expecting an articulate response (bonus points if you get one). Seriously, a pretty tacky thing to be nitpicking. I take it you would have mulled about silently upon realizing your infant son is nowhere to be found.

Another reason to keep doggy style in my repertoire. The heavy ones need loving, too, however, I am not going to let them on top.

How very sad.  Nothing’s going to change things, but I really hope that this was just a tragic mishap and that she didn’t do drugs or anything.  I can’t imagine coming home and finding the babysitter lying on top of my baby.  Good lord.

*Mass* murder! buahahahahahaaaa!!!!

LOL. Makes me think of Stewie!

I wondered why in hell the babysitter would call the dad and bother him at work about the baby being fussy when she wanted to watch him so bad. Turns out the baby also had a medical condition and he JUST came home from the hospital. I suppose she was instructed to call if the baby got out of control or whatever. I also read he didn’t get the voice mail until about 9ish when she called about 6ish. Good God.

Where was the mother in all this? I’m not pointing any fingers, but you’d think if your infant has just been released from the hospital that you wouldn’t need a babysitter because you’d be home with the baby (especially if the baby is only a month old..). My baby is 5 months now and we still haven’t gotten a babysitter.

Maybe she was at work. Or still in the hospital.

I agree with you John.

I let a big one get on top of me once (sitting).Just me being nice cause that was her favorite position … guess what ? My ass and legs started to hurt awfully from the poor blood circulation -  then  I lost all feeling in them,they just went numb.I let her stay there till she finished though … I felt like I deserved a medal when it was over – oh, and one of those “I survived” T-Shirts. I feel sorry for this baby cause I been there … if I had let that cute 2 ton Bitch lay on me then I would not have been able to breath either and it would have been my family running through the house calling my name …

I was just thinking maybe she wasn’t that big? I am 135lbs and if I died and landed on a one month old baby he would probably suffocate as well. What a horrible, bizarre tragedy

I know when I was breastfeeding with both of my children I worried constantly that I might fall asleep and roll over on him/her (I’d lay in bed sometimes to feed them in the middle of the night when they were very young).  I’d read about it a number of times and it was a real concern.  I was just telling a friend about this story and pointed out that at 5’9″, 135 lbs. I’d suffocate a baby too, especially a 1-month-old child.

I believe it’s just a type of reaction. Maybe not expecting a one month old to actually talk but make some sort of noise. Cooing or start crying. I don’t actually find that odd.

OOPS sorry I didn’t read your “EXCELLENT” response before posting mine above.

I have to say, though, is it necessary for this family to ensure that there’ s a “Michael” in EVERY generation?  I hate that!  Jesus, there are baby name sites and books all over the fucking place and you have to decide, “ah fuck it, let’s just go with Michael and a number.”  Why wait for a different generation? Why not simply follow George Foreman’s lead and name ALL your future children Michael regardless of gender.

Sorry, just a pet peeve for me.  There are so many freaking Timothys and Roberts in my family it’s embarassing.

axa

It may be wrong, but I laughed…hard.

My name is also Heather, and I HATED that there were always at least 2 Heather’s in every class I was ever in!  Or when in public, like at a mall or grocery store, you would hear someone call out “Heather” and look around only to figure out it was once again another “Heather”.   People always say “What a pretty name” when I introduce myself and I still cringe and explain that yes, I think it’s a pretty name, but I hate it!  lol!   So of course I tried to name my son a nice strong name that wasn’t common or popular, only to find out 2 years after I named him, that it’s a little more common than I thought!!  I guess it’s like when you buy a new car and then all of a sudden every other car on the road is “your” car…..you just don’t notice it until you really look for it.

You did not seriously just compare a *one* month old baby to a dog, did you?    It’s not even about the articulation of the response, it’s about the response, period.  A one month old baby doesn’t have the cognizance to know its own name yet, so mock me if you will but you’re the one who looks pretty damned stupid.

I don’t find it odd either, but what I do find surprising is that people actually thought that the point of my post was because *I* expected the baby to respond with the pithy example that I gave.

I’m not mocking you, buddy. I’m calling you tacky. Quite a huge difference.

It’s better than all of that G-d damned “CREATIVE111!!!” bullshit that’s going on these days with names.  It’s not just “Michael” now, it’s “Mykel” and “Mikell”…and then there are those G-d awful portmanteau names.

Some people also just don’t age well at all, and others seem to be ageless.  I’m 38 and the last time someone asked me how old I was (a couple of months ago, for a documentary), they guessed 17…so I guess I’m one of the lucky vampire assholes everyone else hates.

The poor woman who died above didn’t age well…you’re right though, could’ve been drugs too.  One of my associates is a former crack addict and the drug put YEARS onto her face.  

Not with my kid there isn’t. He was very advanced from day one. His sister was too. I make superbabies.

Ha! You are a vampire asshole! I’m always guessed to be in my 30′s. That sucks. I don’t want to look my age! Also, if you’ve seen those Faces of Meth pictures, those people always look like they’ve age 10 years of more after being on meth for awhile.

The “amount of flesh”?! That’s some way to put it. Almost like the police were secretly getting a chuckle out of the whole matter.

I had to know just how fat she was- 500 lbs? 800 lbs? Even just like 350 lbs? According to Gawker, Teresa was only 200 lbs at 5’6″: “Coffey, who was 5’6″ and 200 pounds, was apparently suffering from health problems, and she was found with a bottle of prescription pills.”

At any rate, the poor baby and family. The mother wasn’t there because of health problems.

the only one that makes sense is like she was holding the baby, had a heart attack and collapsed while holding him? is that what we are gettin at here?

This is so sad! I feel so bad for the family, especially because the baby just came home from the hospital.

my mom named me Dominique. this lead to a life time of “yes it’s my real name” – “no it’s not my stage name” – “no i’m not black” and arguing why the name really isn’t “black” (lotta black girls wanted to know why i had a sistas name) and a white/mexican girl can rightfully have such a name. my dad has a speech problem so daily i get called Donnameek, and in brazil with their accents i’m now called DominiKEY… and i swear to god i’ll punch someone in the mouth for calling me Dom lol makes me WISH i was named heather.

HA! It’s funny, I wouldn’t have thought that “Dominique” would cause so many problems.  My parents used to tell me that when you picked out a name for your child you had to go through all the different ways people might be able to make fun of it to make sure it’s something a child could deal with (apparently they weren’t thinking that when I was born…).  I did know I girl in high school who’s last name was Weather and her first name was Heather.  What the fuck could her parents have been thinking?  For each of my children (didn’t find out their gender until birth) my dad would say “If it’s a boy you need to name him Adam because there’s only one way to make fun of that name…with the shortest poem in the world ‘Fleas. Adam had em’”

Damn what a really screwed up set of circumatances…….just f’d up the whole way around…It would be intresting to know the womans cause of death..

I laughed hard on this! Then I realized that all men outweigh me by at least 80 or more pounds. . . (of course that could be because I like my men to be tall and have some meat on em) It sucks when they get lazy! I think I am going to start requiring medals.

I only have one cat and am in my 40′s and people guess 30′s.  If I get more, I wonder if I can go back to my 20′s.  More cats.  I like this.  I could alienate a lot of my nosy neighbors and get younger in one step.  Though I don’t want to go to Hoarders territory.  Fine line, fine line.

I notice in the dog park every other female puppy is named Bella – I assume from Twilight – wonder if that’ happening in the kid world too.

LMAO.  I was in Las Vegas recently for a bachelorette party, and one of the activities was Stripper 101.  I was the only girl our instructing stripper didn’t feel the need to create a stage name for.

Born in the 80′s, named after the Allman Brothers Song. I had 10 other Jessica’s in my graduating class. And several boys named Jesse. (Even one of my cousin’s names is Jesse.) Having an extremely common name blows hardcore.  My kids will not have that problem.

I was called Heather weather so much I’m surprised I knew my REAL last name. Motherfuckers.

Kinda rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? haha

There are financial patrons of this site??!! Erm I mean, thanks for that, we all appreciate it.

This story’s been making me sad all day. I guess I want to feel sad for a bit for every freakish tragedy like this. In my experience, sudden tragic deaths have a different kind of grief for survivors.

But kudo’s to you all who manage to lighten it a bit with humor. Lots of tragedies in this world,  we can all use some humor to ease things a long!

Is it just me, or when a man has two sons both named after him, does everyone else assume he knocked up some ho who used the name as a way to try to hang on to him? Obviously it doesn’t work, but that always the impression I get. Super ghetto.

Yeah, 5’6″ is what I am. I weigh about 140 and I’m pretty thin. If I weighed more than 200 I’d probably be called “chunky” or maybe “fat” but not “holy shit look at the circus freak!”

I find this difficult to masturbate to.
