Couple Wanted In Connection To Abuse Of Boy Found At Orlando Theme Park

November 29, 2012 at 9:58 am by Morbid

Boston, MA – After two weeks on the run, a couple wanted by police for the alleged beating and burning of a 3-year-old boy have been apprehended at a Florida theme park.

Earlier this month, arrest warrants were issued for 23-year-old Jessica Linscott and 27-year-old Roland Dow, after Linscott’s 3-year-old son was dropped of at Exeter Hospital suffering from head trauma and burns to his arms.

The couple stated that his injuries were self-inflicted, but doctor’s determined the boy had been abused and contacted police. Authorities gave the couple the option of turning themselves in, but they took the opportunity to go on the run.

It took investigators two weeks, but after countless hours searching combined with tips from the community, the couple were finally located at Universal Studios in Orlando. Marshals spent all day Wednesday in the park searching for the couple, finally finding them at the end of the day just as they had finished watching a parade.

Linscott and Dow were booked into the Orange County Jail, and are being held pending their arraignment on fugitive from justice charges in Florida. If they waive extradition, authorities from New Hampshire will pick them up and bring them back to face charges there.

U.S. Marshal David L. Cargill Jr. thanked the public for the help needed to find the couple, saying he found it sad that the couple were found in an area “designed to bring joy and happiness to children.”

Linscott is facing multiple child endangerment charges after police say she failed to get medical attention for her son when he was suffering seizures from his head injuries and failing to protect him from harm. Dow is facing assault and child endangerment charges, accused of hitting the boy in the head so hard that it caused traumatic brain injury and burning the child’s fingers and wrist.

Police have said the boy’s condition is improving but that his recovery will be long and difficult. The boy’s grandmother said he’s already had a second brain surgery. The Department of Children, Youth and Families now has legal custody of the boy.

People that beat and/or sexually assault children fall into the category of someone who should be fist fucked with a chain mail glove.

Roland Dow and Jessica Linscott, you just abused a small child to the point of death, then abandoned him to his fate before going on the run from the law until you were captured at Universal Studios. Where will you go now?

Nope not at all. I was actually hoping they had frozen to death on their way from New Hampshire.

What, no torture-punishment wishes? You’re getting soft, NY_Mommy.

Anyways, yes. Yes it is wrong. I got some prime seats reserved to watch them burn, should I save one for you? I should disclose that I possess godawful flatulence, but you probably won’t notice it over the brimstone.

Freedom, democracy, human rights, stuff like that.

Is Dow both 23 years and 27 years old? The sentence with the ages needs improving.

Fuck’em. Both psychopaths. Especially the unrepentant looking whore of an incubator.

Lol I struggled with the headline. I was expecting a story about an abused boy found at a theme park and an active search for the couple. When I got to the part about the kid being left at the hospital I was really confused.

These dirt bags don’t live too far from me and were actually seen in my city the day before they got caught in Orlando. They had to of had help. Not sure why the headline says Boston MA when those fucks are from Plaistow, NH. And I still wish some backwoods inbred with a shotgun found them first… never to be seen again!!!!

Geeze. Why don’t some of these ass wipes come down through Minnesota. We have some awesome woodchippers, plenty of buckets, boats and lakes. We never turn down good fish bait. Hell, we even have smoke houses – turn ‘em nice and tanned. Oh, wait! Take ‘em down to the south 40 acres and plant them with the corn or beans. And let’s not forget the hog farms or the woods. All this fun stuff to do, and no one to do it to.

I can see why you would have to ask that question, as the way it is written, someone without common sense could not have figured out on their own that I forgot to put Jessica’s name in there.

But just in case there are any of you out there who have not figured it out, I will clarify. Dow is not both 23 and 27, as that is impossible. See, I occasionally write articles in draft form first, without putting in names of the people being featured. I will then go back and add the names as I try to fix structure, misspellings grammar, etc.

Even with my own editing, which is borderline terrible at best, I always miss something. In fact, I would guess you could find an error in every article I have written here. For anyone who has seen one of these, I apologize if my use of “teh” or using “there” when I should have used “their” has left you scratching your heads as these typos turn the entire article into Egyptian hieroglyphics. I suggest you do as joshua, and just ask a rhetorical question regarding these typos so I can fix them and save you from drowning in the pool of drool collecting under your face.

In this particular case, I did not notice the gap I had left for Jessica because the first draft of this article did not start out the way it looks now, and the names of Jessica and Roland were actually reversed with their ages coming after their names (Roland Dow, 27, and Jessica Linscott, 23).

When I re-read the article before posting, my brain must have filled in the gap where Jessica’s name should have been because I knew how the sentence should have read and her name was engraved in my brain after having typed it before I accidentally removed it, added it to her image description, added it as an seo tag, added it as a tag below the article, and added it in the url of the article. I have to do this with names in articles in an effort to help out our abysmal Google rankings (they hate us).

Because of the omission of Jessica’s name, the sentence looked as if Roland was two ages at the same time which does not, as you imply, leave a sentence that needs improving — it’s a sentence that makes no sense at all and needs to be fixed.

An example of a sentence in the article that needs improving would be:

“It took investigators two weeks, but after countless hours searching combined with tips from the community, the couple were finally located at Universal Studios in Orlando.”

I left out a comma that should have been placed after the word “searching” so that it read:

“It took investigators two weeks, but after countless hours searching, combined with tips from the community, the couple were finally located at Universal Studios in Orlando.”

But as much as I do love my commas, that’s a bit much even if it is grammatically correct (I think). Maybe parenthesis?

“It took investigators two weeks, but after countless hours searching (combined with tips from the community), the couple were finally located at Universal Studios in Orlando.”

But again, that just over complicates things. I should have re-written it entirely so that it is a bit clearer without the need of extra punctuation baggage:

“The couple eluded capture for two weeks until tips from the community directed police to Florida where the couple where finally located at Universal Studios in Orlando.”

But then again, when I write my articles, you should read it as Ken Brockman from the Simpsons, as that’s how it often sounds in my head as I type them out. The commas in my articles are rarely used for grammatical reasons, as much as they are used for dramatic pauses.

But anyway, thanks to people like you who ask questions you already know the answers to. I wouldn’t know what to do without ya’.

After I wet my pants laughing, I fell on the floor and worshipped you for a moment. This response reminded me of the Mail Bag and the responses there.

“OMG! A down vote? I must have a down-vote stalker!”
http://www.dreamindemon.com Morbid

Or just someone who has a hard time believing this article left you struggling and really confused. I mean if that’s true, I imagine you going into hysterics every time that great circle of fire in the sky sinks into the sea, plunging the world into darkness.
bethied

The stalker comment was sarcasm. I thought that’s what people say around here any thine they get a down vote, just trying to fit in with the cool kids. And like many headlines, it was a bit ambiguous. Sorry if I offended you by commenting on my initial confusion. I am awfully dumb.

Not offended, I just don’t get the opportunity to make snarky comments as often as I’d like, so I just go for the low-hanging fruit. Hey, take it as a compliment — at least I read your comment.
