Blah blah. Only gawd kin judge. We don't know the whole story... yeah.I do not trust anything on this website because of stories like this. I hope Mr. and Mrs. Peele sue Wake Med and the Dept of Social Services for malpractice and misdiagnosis as well as failure to thoroughly investigating this woman's medical history. It may be a wake up call to people reading these sensationalized stories and then posting ill-informed opinions and hate speech on sites such as this before having all of the facts that they have been duped. Please stop believing everything you read and see on TV news. This is why we have trials. Hopefully, this family can be reunited, but this mother and father will never get back the time they have lost. This is also a lesson to us all that over reaching and zealous agencies can devastate innocent people and drain them of all of their resources to defend themselves against unsupported charges. The doctor, hospital and the Dept of Social Services should be sued to max - this woman will be exonerated at trial - she has too many experts and doctors on her side. Just hope something like this never happens to you. Oh, and btw, if you ever find yourself accused of something you know you are innocent of, do not ever talk to police without your attorney present. Say absolutely nothing with counsel present.

I can't help but notice that you paid absolutely no attention to the story posted BEFORE you got here with her side of the story. You also seem not to have noticed the numerous posts in favour of her potential innocence, or declaring doubt of her guilt. Did you go to the newspaper itself and tell them you don't trust anything they do, because that's where the info came from. We didn't make this shit up.I do not trust anything on this website because of stories like this.

After being released from jail, Ms. Peele searched around for doctors who would refute the medical evaluations that had been done. She was able to find several doctors who, without seeing the baby or his records, could be suffering from infantile rickets and Ehlers-Danlos/hypermobility syndrome.
- The radiologist who X-rayed baby Micah said that it was the worst skeletal trauma she had ever seen.
- The doctors did tests to see if the baby had a condition known as Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or brittle bone disease and they found nothing. It was ruled out.
- A geneticist at Duke Medicine said that “unequivocally,” that there was no bone abnormality
Proof, or it didn't happen. Speaking as someone that deals with being B12 deficient, juvenile form (which makes it on par with juvenile diabetes), I need a little proof before I blindly accept the word or some internet stranger...
It is not a bite mark. The Vitamin D deficiency causes the skin to become very sensitive and anything, such as a pacifier leaning against a cheek, can cause an indentation. It becomes so sensitive that normal scratching a baby does to itself looks worse than it does on a normal baby. THIS IS A RESULT OF VITAMIN DEFICIENCY. AND THIS WOMAN HAS PLENTY OF MEDICAL PROOF. PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF ON INFANTILE RICKETS AND VITAMIN DEFICIENCY IN NEWBORNS.I'm still stuck on the deep bite mark, that I notice these defenders are not addressing! they go on and on about why the broken bones were there sooooo,
was the bite mark just a fabrication of the hospital/police?

Have you been paying attention at all to her case? She has a ton of medical proof. I know she's innocent. This has happened in my own family. Pray that it DOES NOT HAPPEN TO YOU.Proof, or it didn't happen.

They were not "broken" ribs. They were looser lines. This happens when a baby born with extremely brittle bones has the bones start to heal. PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF ON infantile rickets. To the untrained eye, and many many doctors are untrained on infantile rickets, they look like "broken" bones, but they are LOOSER LINES. Uneducated child abuse "specialists" are RUINING LIVES.What about the broken ribs?

The other thing that is disturbing about your "proof or it didn't happen" is that in the US we ARE innocent until proven guilty! PROOF OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE SAYING TO THE POLICE AND PROSECUTOR, THAT'S THEIR BURDEN AND NOT TO ANY DEFENDANT---EVER.Proof, or it didn't happen.

Medical "experts"? What "experts"? The doctors at the local hospital? They are no "experts" on INFANTILE RICKETS. Who IS an expert? DR. DOUG BENSON. He has gone overseas where RICKETS IS MUCH MORE COMMON THAN IN THE USA TO STUDY IT INTENSIVELY AND HE SAYS THE BABY HAD INFANTILE RICKETS.Yell at us all you want, it's not changing anything. When you want to discuss, look us back up, til then, piss off, mmmkay? YOU have provided nothing aside from "she has proof!" What the FUCK good does that do anyone? I have "proof" my former stepdad is cocksucking dickhole. What's that get me in a court of law? I'll make it easy on you, not a fucking thing! Provide PROOF or shut the fuck up!

Medical experts said NO BRITTLE BONE DISEASE EVIDENT!
[doublepost=1472519756,1472519707][/doublepost]I'm sure the coroner in this case found broken ribs, and ran tests that found no sign of brittle bones. Did I read that wrong, or are you saying it was misrepresented by the media?[/QUOTE
Why would there be a "coroner" when there was no death? You mean some doctor. I'm saying the doctor was wrong, because he or she was not an expert on infantile rickets. This is happening more and more as infantile rickets is becoming more and more common in the US. Doctors are erroneously taught it does not occur here. It is making a comeback. They are not trained to recognize it, so they don't. Simple as that.
Oooh that was some scary threat, dickbrain.Mmmkay, evidence of a losing argument... It's not lazy, I have nothing to prove. You do... Seriously, do you think you, an internet dipshit, can affect me by calling me a cunt? Telling me to get a brain? Fuck @Janice Robinson - that's some hilarious shit right there... Stick around, you'll find out just HOW funny soon enough! :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:
Yes, I'm feeling all sensitive. My family is going through this same nightmare. So I don't like to see people assume guilt without doing any research. You are not an infantile rickets expert. What you say has no meaning. Have a good night.@Janice Robinson - No threat made, dickbrain. Feeling all sensitive are we? It was because calling me a cunt makes me giddy with glee, and because, well, like I said, stick around for the other...
Other than providing insults, do you have some links to court documents that I can read. I want more than anything to know this baby wasn't abused to death.[doublepost=1472519756,1472519707][/doublepost]
Oooh that was some scary threat, dickbrain.
Yes, I do. We have extensive medical reports.But sutely, as this is your family, you have the proof right there, don't you?
From five doctors.And this is doing me no good, so I'm signing off now forever. Have nice lives, everyone, and I hope you are never falsely accused of a crime.
[doublepost=1472520484,1472520410][/doublepost]
Yes, I do. We have extensive medical reports.
It was NOT a "bite mark". And mark my words, they will NEVER prove that her teeth made those marks.So babies with rickets has the ability to bite their own shoulders at 16 weeks??? And deeply too, like they miraculously have teeth now?? No I am sorry I still think the mom is guilty.....a lie can be believeable if said often enough with conviction.
I never said there were no experts on infantile rickets. Where did I say that? Please point that out. You can't because I never said that.Aaaahhhh. Now I get it.
The doctor was wrong because he isn't an expert in infantile ricketts.
Earlier you said there are no experts on infantile ricketts.
So, you're right? By default?
We are and have been in contact with Marty Peele, offering support. I came here to defend her.Then offer it up, get a bunch of people fighting for her, don't be a hostile slag! Prove us and the medical community and the legal community wrong for fucks sake! If you don't, SHAME ON YOU!
Medical "experts"? What "experts"? The doctors at the local hospital? They are no "experts" on INFANTILE RICKETS. Who IS an expert? DR. DOUG BENSON. He has gone overseas where RICKETS IS MUCH MORE COMMON THAN IN THE USA TO STUDY IT INTENSIVELY AND HE SAYS THE BABY HAD INFANTILE RICKETS.

Okay, sorry, I posted the above before I read your response.You're correct. I misread. Apparently my reading comprehension is off today.
What about the bite marks?Very late to this party, but stumbled upon this and and am compelled to say: This woman did NOT abuse her baby! There is all kinds of medical evidence that the child had infantile rickets. And no, infantile rickets does NOT come from malnutrition after birth and is NOT a sign of neglect. It is caused by a very low Vitamin D level in the mother during pregnancy. And what IS neglect is that doctors do NOT check for Vitamin D levels in pregnant women and they do NOT prescribe Vitamin D supplements.
Infantile rickets is a growing problem in the US, and the time will come when these cases are recognized for what they are. The misdiagnoses of child abuse will stop. These misdiagnoses are actually MALPRACTICE but in a cruel and ironic twist, the MALPRACTICE AND MEDICAL NEGLECT on the part of the CHILD ABUSE "SPECIALISTS" does not only go UNPUNISHED, they are REWARDED.
I get so upset at the automatic assumption that every person accused of child abuse is guilty and then the vicious name calling and the death wishes the ensue. PLEASE PEOPLE PLEASE REMEMBER that in the USA everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty and PLEASE PLEASE do your research before you jump to the conclusion that a person is guilty of child abuse. IT'S HURTFUL AND IT MAKES YOU LOOK FOOLISH.
THIS WOMAN IS INNOCENT.
well, to be honest, it looks horrible. but not like a bite mark.
kinda more like a puncture wound.well, to be honest, it looks horrible. but not like a bite mark.
well her having an extra long tooth may sound better in the mind than her throwing him down on the floor and landing on a nail. for real. it looks like a puncture wound. but i do agree with you. something horrible happened.I keep looking at this, I'm wondering if maybe Mom has what I call a Dracula tooth? You know, kind of fangish and not aligned with her other teeth? I can see this being a bite mark, but I can also see it being a puncture wound too. But how did the littlest get a puncture wound on his upper arm? The child in this picture looks abused to me no matter what.
According to medical records, the x-ray scans showed acute fractures of the left first through sixth ribs, healing fractures of the right sixth through tenth ribs - some of his ribs showed multiple fractures. The doctors' reports also say there were possible signs of a healed fracture to the ulna and radius of his left arm, and they point to a mark on his shoulder they note as a bite mark.
Indeed, the doctors' reports are condemning. Phrases stand out from the discharge summary: "Nonaccidental trauma...unquestionable injuries inflicted by an adult..." The social worker assigned to Micah's case wrote in his file that one radiologist said Micah's injuries were the worst skeletal trauma she had ever seen.
Peele, Dover and Peele's father, Allen Coleman, sat through a routine interrogation with the police at the hospital. Peele and Dover ran through the events of the previous day with the detective, both asserting they had no idea how Micah received fractures to his ribs and that they would never willingly hurt their son. Initially, Peele and Dover both agreed to take polygraph tests and bite impressions.
Coleman was also interviewed by a detective. Coleman told the detective he had only watched Micah twice. When the detective asked Coleman if anything unusual happened while he was watching Micah, Coleman admitted that once he slipped on a rug in the kitchen while holding his grandson and fell backwards. He said Micah remained on his chest when he fell and he did not believe Micah got hurt.
"I was standing in the kitchen," said Coleman. "I was standing on that rug and the rug is on hardwood, and it's a rag rug and it slips pretty easy. And I went to turn around, and I turned around and my feet got tangled in it. The rug slid and I just fell. Not on him, no. With him."
(I find it interesting no one has really touched on this.)
There were doctors at WakeMed who said in reports that her son had unquestionably sustained serious injuries at the hands of an adult. Micah had a follow-up exam in early September at SAFEchild Advocacy Center in Raleigh. The attending physician found that Micah was healing "tremendously" and referred that he see a genetic specialist at Duke Medicine.
The geneticist reviewing Micah's case at Duke Medicine wrote in her reports that she was not given his original hospital evaluation and did not have access to the x-rays showing the fractures at the time of Micah's evaluation.
Still, the social worker writes in Micah's file after his evaluation at Duke that the geneticist stated "unequivocally" that Micah's fractures are not consistent with a bone abnormality.
While reports from Micah's hospital visit claim there's no evidence of metabolic bone disorder, Peele has collected letters from five specialists who have reviewed Micah's case and concluded that it's likely he has a bone condition.
Orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Doug Benson of Chico, California, said in his letter that after looking over Micah's medical records, his family history, his lab work and his x-rays all point to signs of a metabolic bone disease. The fact that Micah's fractures were not accompanied by external damage or internal organ damage is not consistent with trauma of any sort accidental or otherwise, he wrote.
Benson concludes the letter:
"The diagnosis of child abuse because of "multiple unexplained fractures: is unsupportable."
Benson suggests in the letter that Micah may have infantile rickets - a disorder found in children that involves the weakening of their bones, caused primarily by a lack of vitamin D.
Peele said she exclusively breast-fed Micah as an infant, and, unbeknownst to Peele, breast milk has no vitamin D, unlike formula which is fortified with the vitamin.
"I didn't know there was no vitamin D in breast milk," said Peele. "Nobody ever told me that. I thought it was whole nutrition for my newborn."
Peele was told to give Micah vitamin D drops, bought at the grocery or drug store, while he was being breastfed, but Peele said she wasn't so diligent about it. She said she spent a lot of time outside with her infant and she thought that would be enough.
Reports suggest a vitamin D deficiency in newborns can also be caused when a pregnant mother takes TUMS, something Peele said she did often during her pregnancy.
(She was told how to take care of the Vitamin D problem. She elected not to do so. I make mention of this because at the beginning of the article she goes on and on about how this is her miracle baby and how hard it was to give birth. That being said, if given explicit instructions on how to take care of said miracle child, and you don't, it's very hard for me to have any sympathy for you whatsoever.)
Peele also travelled to Boston to consult with specialist Dr. Michael Holick. Holick has previously been involved with similar cases to Peele's and has come under fire from child abuse experts for testifying on behalf of parents on trial for mistreating their child.
Holick diagnosed Peele with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a group of disorders that affect the joints and skin. Holick states in the letter that it's likely that Micah also has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome - likely combined with infantile rickets.
Holick writes:
"The combination of infantile rickets and Ehlers-Danlos/hypermobility syndrome can markedly increase bone fragility to the point that it is likely he was fracturing his rib cage during the birthing process and that some of the fractures observed would likely be due to the handling of the infant immediately after birth."
