Infant Who Died During Stay With Babysitter Now A Homicide Investigation

Holy crap. I am always surprised as to what people will post on their Facebook pages. I can understand that this child’s mother is looking for answers but isn’t it better to wait and find out what the findings are before you post this sort of stuff? I’m amazed. Absolutely fucking amazed. I guess some part of me is hoping that yet another child didn’t go off the deep end and kill an innocent.

So I read the FB posts written by the friends of the mother. I saw some pretty serious comments being made and things that could easily be construed as threats too, Someone actually said, both those bitches need to be fucked up. Can anyone say mob mentality?

Well from what she told me, the police know what the findings are and so does she… hence the Facebook posting.

Idk I think I would have outed her also, it appears the girl has issues telling other kids she will kill them and visit their graves and laugh omg why let the child be in a troubled young girls room

That’s just crazy to say about either I mean who would assume their child would do this I’m sure the mom who allegedly covered it up was in shock

I meant outing the mother I totally agree about the ten yr old and it can def affect the trial if there even is one I’m curious to see of it will happen since she is ten but the kid in pa was only ten and charged and I believe convicted

Well, after touring through the facebook albums, I’ve gotta say both of Huard’s daughters have “tired” eyes. The kind that never look happy, no matter how big they’re smiling. Like they never get to rest mentally. Now, I know what I attribute those eyes to, but won’t speculate as to what the girls may/may not be suffering through in their childhoods. However, if the accusations are correct and the 10-year-old did murder a baby, I guess my suspicions would explain that type of acting out, as well. And, if so, those kids need serious help- not just the 10-year-old.

Have you visited this site in the last 6 years? it’s full of nothing but people threatening to do one thing or another to somebody.

No Morbid, I’ve never been here before. Thanks for cluing me in. That was MY downvote, smartass, I’m owning up to it.

Thanks! I’m just saying… I was surprised you were surprised at the comments from friends of the victim’s mother, when we get worse comments here from people who don’t even know the people they are talking about.

I agree with you. It wasn’t smart. I don’t believe her statement could be used against her (unless her claims are found to be completely false but provoke threats or violence against the two females she names, as you suggested). Of course, when you’re reeling from that kind of pain, it’s incredibly difficult to remain calculating, I would imagine.

That’s kind of the point. There’s a pretty clear line between the kind of hot air that gets blown around here by commenters and threats made within a specific community or social circle. So long as the mother and daughter in question remain unharmed, though, it shouldn’t be an issue.

had to delete my response where I said you were wrong. I didn’t see that she had actually mentioned the girl’s name. So yeah, specifically naming and accusing the kid probably wasn’t a smart thing to do.

I can’t find what you are talking about. I see a room that was worked on, but no comments…..

I live the next town over from where this happened; It’s been horrible to watch it unfold in the local papers I’ve been watching this one for a while now; Huard is a well-known name around here.

Morbid, it’s a good thing I don’t know where you live or I would buy you a bottle of your favorite alcohol and ply you with much drink to get to your secret about this case. I can’t stand to not be in the know!!-of course you know that because I’m a girl.

i was thinking the same thing..kinda strange posts she has

I was about to ask on whose say-so the ten-year-old was to blame for this death; but if you say it was the police…….?

Mary Bell redux?

Oh God!
From a teen killing a kid to a kid killing a baby!??
Hell froze over.

We are fucked.

IMO It’s better not to use FB at all.

The Mom seems totally focused on Kelli. That poor other girl is like an afterthought.

They just charged the kid looks like.

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/30/13573441-girl-10-charged-with-manslaughter-in-babys-death-in-maine?lite

I’m dying of curiosity, but I just wanted to commend you for not saying anything thay might compromise the case. Part of why I love this site!

I was just thinking she must have if the homicide was obvious and she claimed the poor little girl just stopped breathing her being a medical asst and all, I don’t know what she did yet but from what morbid alluded to it seems it would be obvious not something like SIDS

I sifted through this woman’s Facebook photos and all I got was she has a blatant outright and somewhat disturbing habit of favoring her older daughter. A LOT. The house while, clean and in reasonable condition has old cheap panel, what looks like stick on tile floors, and a weird hodge podge thing going in general. She spent loads of time and money on that little girls room and from the comments did absolutely nothing for the child that didn’t smash a bunch of holes in her walls. I’d like to know WHY the kid smashed up her room and why her mother’s response was a guilt laden attempt to appease the girl. This whole thing is just depressing.

I just went through the little murderer mother’s fb pictures and she describes how she had to patch the holes in the walls her daughter kicked in and she hasnt removed them. People on the victims mothers page talk about how their children who go to school with the child told them that the little girl talks about wanting to see them dead. the mother of the little murderer should be arrested and the little psycho needs to be committed. shes a little mixed black girl who has a full white sister living in the country with her redneck family OF COURSE SHE HAS RAGE. sterilize her too, crazy breeds quick

Yeah, I thought the mother’s reaction to her daughter kicking holes in the walls was very nonchalant and I think she even put “LOL” after mentioning her daughter kicked holes in the wall in the hallway. The kid needed serious help and it doesn’t sound like she was getting it.

I also notice some favoritism towards the 10 yr old in the photos alone…i feel that the 10 year old had anger issues and possible issues mentally and emotionaly and i also feel that she should be punnished for what she did if the story is correct however her mother (sitter) should be the one in jail and the daughter should get the mental help she needs…yes the young girl if responsible did something horrible but she should have never been close enough to hold her let alone share a room …this woman knows that an infant wakes up every 2 to 3 hours for feedings and changes why would the baby share a room over night with a young child the crib was portable and should have been with the sitter…the sitter should be the one charged with neglect also…

I can see your point.Fb is not a journal that is private,and I think the mom of the baby was venting for her loss on a public forum,The mother of the suspect it seems was juicing up sympathy on fb.The fact is I have never and hopefully will not ever have too put any of my kids in the ground,I have no clue how it feels but I am sure it is nothing that can be described .The mother of the baby is not the one who should be scrutinized regardless of our personal opinions ,the mother who was not supervising a 10 year old and a three month old infant that is the one who is shady is boo hooing on her FB is the one.I can’t even lie,before I figured which little girl was the suspect I knew it was the one that is,because she looks like a little nut,something about her eyes and gaze is kinda off.This is a sad situation all around,total bummer.

I saw that someone actually commented in one of her Facebook photos about the other daughter – saying something like – does she still live with you because you never post anything about her.

I understand your point that they must be feeling pain that I cannot imagine but I’ve actually had a conversation with my spouse about Facebook what does and doesn’t go on it. I will post pictures of my kids for our family and friends to see once in a while but that is pretty much my limit. I never post those dumb updates so that people know we are out of town – come on, folks rob me, I told you I was gone on FB. When my Dad died – no one knew via Facebook because it was personal and I didn’t feel the need to garner attention – that is how I often feel about FB. I call it “it’s all about me.com”. If I actually said what was on my mind on FB, I imagine my friend count would drop tremendously. I’ve gone as far to threaten family members that if for some god forsaken reason I am EVER on the news or in the papers and you go on camera and talk about me – dead or alive, I will find you. I understand her need for retribution but what I was saying was that it could backfire. Probably won’t but I’m a 1/2 empty glass kind of person.

At five were you really aware of the finality of death? You would have to me the most mature or morbid child I have ever head of to date. Also if the parent did not impose the knowledge of death by not doing his/her job, then the child should not be charged?

Very interesting. Even more so to see how this plays out and how she found out the 10 year old was watching the baby.

In my area there was an accident caused by a teenager who increased speed to “beat” a car pulling out of a driveway on a very narrow street with a steep hill to one side. The teenager’s car flipped down the hill and he was killed – he was ruled by police to be at fault. Two internet publications had to cutoff and erase comments because of accusations and questionable comments that bordered on threats. The area where the people who wrote these comments are mostly wealthy and educated – many with a lawyer in the household and they still posted hateful and angry comments. Death is impossible to reconcile. Just impossible and all our logic won’t work, and we do whatever we can to ease the pain fruitless as it may be. The point: people go mildly insane when it comes to the pain of death.

True. I just thought that by this time, if they had enough to charge the 10 yo girl then they would have enough to chatge her mom, too.

you gotta wonder why on earth the child had access to her medication at the age of 10

winter of 2009 there’s a pic of the girl with a newborn baby…she doesn’t look pleased..she looks confused..i don’t know why but i feel like there is a serious past here with this girl..like maybe she was abused..

i’m wishing i didn’t even look the father daughter dance of 09 with tons of makeup on and the one with her with pink hair…idk i gotta stop looking

wow you learned that also..she is beautiful but i just don’t understand the obvious attn given to her over the other daughter…it’s pretty sad

I literally did know the finality of what was going on at the time,and knew once you die you don’t comeback.Its not the matter of intelligence it is commonsense,yes the little girl was charged and should be held accountable,what about the adult though,she was responsible for both of them,will she or should be charged?

yea i saw that shit to, she also asked if the other lil girl’s room would be next, the mom just said eventually, and that the girl kicked holes in her wall so she had to do something about it fast. huh… i dont even see pics of the other girl, no albums all about her either like the other child’s extracurricular activities. does the other girl even get to go outside?

Some drywall can be fairly easy to kick a hole through. Many houses are frame > insulation > drywall. My house growing up, however, was lath and plaster. I would have broken my foot had I tried to kick a hole through that stuff.

Go basaltic? So you’d, what, chuck volcanic rocks at them?

(Sorry, useless comment, but I couldn’t resist…)

Here is an article and blog post I found with a bit more information. Huard should be charged as well.

[quote]Greenaway said Brooklyn’s bassinette was brought up to the 10-year-old’s room on the second floor of Huard’s home.She said she doesn’t know where Maddison slept, whether in the 10-year-old’s room or in the room of Huard’s 9-year-old daughter. That daughter lived with her father but visited her mother. The father has since asked a court to remove Huard’s custody rights.As they waited for word on Brooklyn’s condition at MaineGeneral Medical Center’s Thayer campus in Waterville, the 10-year-old was impatient, Greenaway said. “She just kept saying, ‘I’m tired, I want to go. I want to know what’s going on.’
“I recall saying to her, ‘It’s not about you. It’s about Brook.’ Amanda told her to come and sit next to her and said, ‘You didn’t do anything.’”Finally, a Maine State Police detective took Greenaway into an exam room.”He said, ‘I don’t know how to tell you, but (Brooklyn) didn’t make it.’” Greenaway said.Police then interviewed her for two hours, she said, and later asked to see photos she had taken Saturday — time-stamped photos that showed the child had no injuries just before Greenaway dropped her off at Huard’s house.Later, she told Huard that the DHHS would probably want to question her. “She just freaked out on me on the phone, like it was an inconvenience,” Greenaway said.A week later, a state police detective told Greenaway that the state Medical Examiner’s Office had determined that her baby’s death was not from natural causes. At that point, she started blaming Huard.”To me, I think she should be arrested, put in jail and charged,” Greenaway said Friday.Greenaway said she was told by police that Huard told them she was watching movies on television while Brooklyn was crying.When her daughter’s body was released to the funeral home after an autopsy, she saw that the girl had “fingerprint” bruises on her face, a black eye and a bruised nose, she said. The medical examiner, she was told, ruled the cause of death suffocation.[/quote]http://seamusoriley.blogspot.com/

[quote]“I was there for three hours,” she said. “They wouldn’t let me see her. They didn’t tell me at the time, but it was because of the condition that she was in. Her face was very beat up and bruised.”Greenaway said she has photos that she took at the funeral home, showing bruises on the baby’s face.Greenaway said she was told by Maine State Police that an autopsy showed Brooklyn died from suffocation and the bruises on her face were related to the suffocation.She said she also was told that traces of a type of medication prescribed to the 10-year-old were found in the baby’s system.She said investigators interviewed her at the hospital for about two hours that night, during which she explained the baby-sitting arrangements she had made with Huard.Greenaway said Huard and the 10-year-old left the hospital before she did, and did not tell her what had happened to Brooklyn.Greenaway told The Associated Press that the 10-year-old had changed her baby’s diaper in the past, but Greenaway had told the baby-sitter that an adult needed to be present at all times.Instead, the infant was sleeping in a portable crib in the same room as the 10-year-old, Greenaway told the AP. Police did not release details of the baby’s death, which was ruled a homicide Wednesday.Some details of the night’s events were provided to the Morning Sentinel by Ashley Tenney, 20, who said she was living in the basement of the home on the night Brooklyn died.
Tenney said she and Huard were downstairs while the 10-year-old was upstairs in her bedroom with the baby.The 10-year-old brought the baby downstairs crying at one point, Tenney said, but nothing appeared out of the ordinary.”Brooklyn was crying a little, but nothing that concerned anybody,” Tenney said. “(The 10-year-old) went upstairs and came down without her and said, ‘She’s sleeping.’ “Tenney said she went to sleep in the basement about 11 p.m. and was awakened about 1:30 a.m. “I heard crying and running up and down the stairs,” she said. Tenney said she heard someone say “dead.”She said she saw Huard and Huard’s boyfriend and that he was holding Brooklyn and Huard was crying.Huard called police at 1:34 a.m. on July 8, saying the baby wasn’t breathing, state police Sgt. Jason Richards said in July.Emergency responders arrived six minutes later and the baby was pronounced dead later that morning at MaineGeneral Medical Center’s Thayer Campus in Waterville, Richards said.Brooklyn was born April 4, weighing 9 pounds, 2.8 ounces.”The stage where she was at, there was a lot of smiling and cooing and giggling,” her mother said. “She wasn’t fussy.”[/quote]http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/10-year-old-girl-charged-with-manslaughter-of-3-month-old-Clinton-baby.html

FAIRFIELD — A 10-year-old girl charged with manslaughter in the July 8 death of an infant from Clinton nearly caused the death of another baby in mid-June, according to that child’s parents.

No need to do that. Just look at the local media. Fairfield is a small town without a paper but the Waterville Morning Sentinel has all kinds of stories and people are talking about it on the comments section. Check it out.

My girls are 5 and they know about death and understand it. Cats die, the food we eat dies, cats bring home dead things…

The reporter in the video you linked said that the 10 year old was babysitting. If so, that’s nuts. Ten years old is far too young to be caring for a newborn.

Wow! Looks like this wasn’t the only time the 10 yr old drugged a baby

From personal experience I know this mother is 100 percent to blame after reading the child has attachment disorder and ODD. My step son was diagnosed with attachment disorder and current under eval for ODD. These children are highly reactive and target smaller children when they act out violently. There was no excuse to leave that baby alone with the 10 year old, at all. She should be charged with her daughters crime and that child needs severe psychological treatment and intervention before her ODD becomes full blown conduct disorder and she commits another violent crime.

I will! thanks!

http://bangordailynews.com/2012/09/02/news/mid-maine/another-baby-overdosed-on-10-year-old-homicide-suspects-medication-former-roommate-says/ and her other child overdosed as well they found the 10year olds meds in her system. im sorry the girl may have severe issues but the mother needs to be charged as well
