Clearwater, FL – On February 5th, 5-week-old Craig Wall Jr. was rushed to the hospital after he went into cardiac arrest while being cared for by his father, Craig Wall Sr. An exact cause of death has not yet been determined, but officials are calling the death suspicious. Even more suspicious was the fact that Craig Sr. had recorded himself on video apologizing for “doing something to the baby.” On February 8th, the child’s mother, Laura Taft, obtained an injunction that forbade Craig Sr. from contacting her not only because she was in fear for her life and the life of her 6-year-old son, but also because of the investigation by police “that Craig Sr. was suspected of being the one responsible for the infant’s death.” Craig violated that injunction on February 14th – the day of baby Craig’s memorial service. On that day, Craig Sr. was seen driving through the church parking lot and Taft reported that he had “flipped her off” before driving away. He was jailed a few hours later, but was released the next day after posting $1,000 bail. And it just gets worse, Demonites. Much worse. [Read more...]

Springfield, MA - Police and paramedics were called to the Clarion Hotel Sunday morning to provide medical assistance to a child in need – information on what exactly was wrong with the child isn’t being released. The 6-week-old baby was taken to Baystate Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy is planned for later today. The child’s mother, Erica Luce, (MyspaceMySpace) claims that she woke up at about 3:00 a.m. SundaySunday reviews morning with a “bad feeling.” According to her, that’s when she found her infant son, Ethan, naked on the floor, covered in cold water, lying next to an air conditioner that was turned on full blast. And how did he end up in that predicament? Erica believes that someone broke into her room earlier that morning, while she was visiting with a friend in an adjacent room, and murdered her son. Wait….what? According to Erica, she left Ethan and his 3-year-old sibling alone in the room after they had fallen asleep at about 12:30. She popped over to her friend’s room for a chat and claims that she checked on the children every 15 minutes until she fell asleep. Did she fall asleep in her own room or the room next door? Your guess is as good as mine. She also mentioned that the 3-year-old child was sitting up awake in bed when she found Ethan on the floor. I have a feeling there is some vital information being left out of Erica’s account. No arrests have been made as of yet and police are neither confirming nor denying Erica’s story.

Great Falls, MT - You know how annoying it is when you have a few drinks, put your kids in the car, lead the police on a chase through your town, crash into a parked truck, and get then arrested for driving under the influence, reckless driving, and failure to remain at the scene of an accident?  I, for one, hate when that happens. Imagine how much more inconvenient it is if you have your 2-year-old child in the trunk of the car during the whole ordeal, and somehow “forget” to tell police he’s there. That’s what happened to Summer Many White Horses.   [Read more...]
