I have seen babies who have simply rolled off the bed and have cracked or broken their tiny skulls. It happens more often when the floor is uneven and the head hits an uneven spot on the wooden floor, yes, wood.I always have trouble believing these tub=cracked child skull stories. My niece fell backwards off a bathroom sink cracking the back of her head on the tiles - and while it did result in a concussion and ER trip, no broken skull. My own little one this one's age dove directly off a window seat onto a concrete floor and only earned himself a spectacular goose egg in the middle of his forehead. Maybe skulls run hard in my family, but I lean towards a broken child skull requiring more force than a simple fall.
There's a kid that was buried as a JUGGALO?!?!?! when did I miss that!!!
God forgive me. Please.
:confused2:
Tub killings are bad for me since my niece was killed in one, because she made to big a fuss about soap in her eyes , so my sisters BF ended up beating the crap out of her for it, to get her to stop crying. I tend to think to much about her when it happens. I would like to see what evedence the state has against him though so I can make up my mind better.
That's just so, so wrong.
I laughed.
A Brevard County jury found a man not guilty Tuesday in the death of a little girl. Shane George, 24, was accused of shaking the 14-month-old to death. In the end, prosecutors couldn't prove the girl's death was George's fault.
Prosecutors say there is no way a fall from 31 inches could have caused the head injuries that killed Veda Van Cleave, but the defense had experts that said an accidental fall could have killed her and the jury found George not guilty.
"I picked her up, stood her next to the tub, and that's when I let go of her, when she got her balance, and when I grabbed the towel,†George told the jury.
About three dozen family members and friends held back their emotions as the clerk of the court read the verdict finding George not guilty of murder and child abuse. For more than a year, the 24-year-old Melbourne man was locked up in the Brevard County jail, accused of killing his then girlfriend’s 14-month-old baby while babysitting her.
The child's mother left the courtroom sobbing, "My baby, my baby."
Well, it looks like maybe Mom had some doings here. I'm not so sure I'm ready to convict him just yet.
If you go to her myspace and see just 15 short days after her child died, she seems to be OK with it all. Hitting the town, the beach, generally yucking it up with all her friends. So far I've been to 5 different friends comments back April 15th when the child died and she seems to not be too broken up about losing her child.
I'm starting to wonder if his story is not true and that maybe she had done something to the child prior to leaving her with him.
Could it be that the worst of the wounds were inflicted by her and there was really an accident that pushed the baby over the edge?
He sure did act the way one would expect one to act in an accident scenario. Called for help as soon as it happened and tried to get help.
Edit: also note that not one of the pics of the child are from her myspace. There are no pics of the child other than the one someone added the text to on the front page of her profile.
Something is not right here people. This party girl seems just a little to happy after losing her child. At least to me anyway.

19 or not I agree with Harley. I have 184 pics just in my babys album on myspace, and she is only 4 months old and not dead!!! If she had been killed by my BF I think my whole page would be about her. I certainly wouldn't be going to the beach and shit just days later. I am not normally judgemental of the moms on here that lost kids to BFs but really? She grieves in a fucked up way.
I know im pretty late on this because i just saw this thread, but i can tell you right now that devon had nothing to do with the death of her child. Im good friends with both her AND the father of the child (the guy babysitting her was not the father) and they both were EXTREMELY broken up about this. Being from the area of florida we live in, were about 15 minutes from the beach, so her going to the beach is not convicting in any way. Everyone grieves in different ways, and i myself have lost family members and gone to the beach to clear my mind, or hung out with my friends. Instead of sitting inside in the dark in her house for months yes she found comfort in her friends and going to the beach. But she was far from "ok". She was devastated for years. Hell to this day it still weighs on her. Just because she didnt share her feelings and thoughts to the public on myspace or sit and do nothing for monhs youre saying she didnt care? Get real. Thats the problem with society nowadays, if you dont post everything you do or feel on social media then it must not have happened. Devon is one of the sweetest, most caring kind hearted people i know, so i felt a reply to this was neccesary. Even though it was so long ago noone will probably even see it, but still. The (ex) boyfriend was acquitted of his charges so who knows what really happened or if he killed her or if it was an accident or intentional, but it she did not and would never have harmed her child in any way. Shes since had another beautiful baby girl and cares for her more than anything in the world. And in response to the person who said "who leaves their child with their boyfriend during long work hours" and all that bullshit, are you stupid? Tons of people have jobs and children and obviously cant bring their children to work and not everyone can afford childcare (which by the way incidents like this have also happened in "professional" childcare establishments) so you do what you have to. The logic in some of these comments is just straight up retarded. RIP baby veda and know your mom and dad love you and miss you every day.
