Tracey Goldrine finds toddler son dead in crib Sunday morning

**Sister Iroz** · January 25th, 2009, 11:35 PM

Authorities are investigating the death of a toddler found dead in his crib this morning in Oviedo.

The boy, who family members called A.J., was at home Saturday night with his mother's boyfriend. His mother, Tracey Goldrine, returned from work and didn't realize anything was wrong until the boy didn't wake up Sunday morning, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said. Goldrine called 911 at about 10:50 a.m.

Deputies responded to the call and found the child in his crib. He was pronounced dead after an evaluation by the fire department.

"He had been deceased for quite some time," said Lt. James Clark of the Seminole County Sheriff's Office.

Clark said the child had no prior medical history that would have caused a sudden death.

"When you start adding everything up, it just doesn't make sense," he said. "Basically, in looking at the scene, and talking with them, there are a lot of questions that are unanswered."

Neither the boyfriend nor mother are suspects at this time. The sheriff's office is awaiting the results of an autopsy and follow-up interviews tomorrow.

The Crimes Against Children's Unit is investigating, the sheriff's office said.

RIP, little man.

Hope they find out what happened to him, and I hope it wasn't painful. Why am I suddenly suspicious just by reading this line?

Poor baby... I hope it wasn't foul play, but my spidey senses are tingling.

Yeah, alone for evening with unrelated man, doesn't live to see morning sort of sets them off for all D'D members I think. It's the prelude to too many tales of boyfriend-kills-the-baby stories. But like you guys, I hope that there was nothing more amiss that evening than the boyfriend perhaps missing something that indicated a more serious medical problem because he just didn't know otherwise. Asthma or something. Anything but the he-abused-the-baby-while-mom-was-out-now-it's-dead story.

Boyfriend alone with the baby while mother's at work...we have all heard this one way too many times. I'm with the authorities on this one, saying things are just not adding up. I don't know of any 2 almost 3 year old's who aren't awake at least by 8am...very odd that the mother would not check on him until almost 11am. But then, I still check on my 5 yr. old before going to bed and put my hand on his chest to make sure he's breathing and hearts thumping away...

An Oviedo boy was found dead in his crib Sunday morning, and authorities said there are a lot of unanswered questions about how he died.

The boy, whom family members called A.J., was at home Saturday night with his mother's boyfriend. His mother, Tracey Goldrine, said she returned from work and didn't realize anything was wrong until he didn't wake up for breakfast. She said she went in to check on the boy, found him unresponsive and at 10:50a.m., called 911.

"He had been deceased for quite some time at that point," said Lt. James Clark of the Seminole County Sheriff's Office. "When you start adding everything up, it just doesn't make sense."

The boy, who was about to turn 3 years old, did not have any known medical conditions that would have caused a sudden death, authorities said. But they could not say whether his death was the result of a medical situation or violence.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office Crimes Against Children Unit was called in to investigate.

"Basically, in looking at the scene and talking with them, there are a lot of questions that are unanswered," Clark said. "What we've been told by the both of them does not match what we're seeing."

Neither the boyfriend nor the mother are suspects at this time, authorities said. The Sheriff's Office is treating the death as suspicious, and expects to have more details today after an autopsy and follow-up interviews, Clark said.

The boy's mother told Central Florida News 13 that the toddler had been complaining of headaches. She said he had a close relationship with her boyfriend.

"My son calls him Dad," she said.

I'm calling bullshit. I think there was far more that went down that night.
But then, I'm suspicious like. This little one called him dad...damn, I'm really hoping there isn't fowl play but I'm smelling shit.

Little one, I'd like to know what happened that took your little life away...
Rest in peace A.J.

My thoughts exactly Silva - why wouldn't she check on him until almost 11? My daughter is twelve and I still check on her before I go to bed & when I get up in the morning (if she is still asleep, since she is a pre-teen she is practicing sleeping in like a full-fledged teenager

)

It just doesn't feel right. So sad!

**Castille** · January 26th, 2009, 01:16 AM

I don't set an alarm in my house - the kids pretty reliably get me up. It's hard to say how late I'd sleep if I'd been out and up the night before if a child didn't wake me. But I can see it being later in the morning. I also know people whose kids aren't school aged yet who stay up much later at night and wake much later in the day to better suit their parent's schedule. I'd have done it with my daughter, but she was always invariably up with the sun, no matter how late she'd stayed up. She was always a peach about pointing it out to me at 5:30am on summer mornings when I claimed it wasn't morning yet ;) Now I have a little one that's happy to be a night owl, but we're on school schedules in my house now.

Your right Castille, a lot of kiddos are up way past a reasonable hour, I'm thinking more on what I do with my children who have been a schedules since 5 months. And if this mother was working late she probably slept as long as she could and figured her son would be up early. Still, I wake up if my children aren't up at around the time they usually are...but that's just me I guess, and that like rarely happens in this house.

Good point!

**Zibarro** · January 26th, 2009, 07:10 AM

Did she check on him when she got home? I always did. Had to look in on my babies to see that chests/backs were rising and falling.

What time did the adults wake up? NEITHER of them bothered to check on him till 11 am? Fishy, at best. My grandbabies are 3 and they occasionally stay up late with mom and dad (if they're behaving). Even so, they are up between 9am and 10 am the next morning cuz they seem to be "solar powered" lol

Maybe it's the "boyfriend" factor - but this doesn't sound right at all.

RIP A.J.

**ineedanap** · January 26th, 2009, 09:59 AM

The boy, whom family members called A.J., was at home Saturday night with his mother's boyfriend.

This is all I needed to see. We know how it goes from here. Damn baby killer boyfriends.

RIP sweet AJ.

**Nell** · January 26th, 2009, 12:44 PM

I had a friend that had a 3 year old boy. Went in his room in the morning to get him up and he was dead. The cops and csd were all up in her shit, claiming she had to have killed him. Found out he had a congenital heart defect that no one detected, and he just died in his sleep. So it does happen, but I kinda doubt it in this case.

Anthony Cabral

OVIEDO -- An autopsy has determined that 2-year-old Anthony Cabral had suffered blunt force trauma and now his mother's boyfriend, Jason Lenz, has been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse.

"Unfortunately, this boy died of blunt force trauma to the head. What we now know, because of the nature of that injury it wasn't something that was a protracted injury, i.e., it didn't happen long ago. Apparently this child died very quickly after this injury," said Lt. James Clark, of the Seminole County Sheriff's Office.

The Seminole County medical examiner performed an autopsy Monday on the boy, who found dead in his home Sunday.

Cabral never woke up Sunday at his usual time, according to the boy's mother.

Tracey Goldrine said she left her son at home, on the 900 block of Kerwood Circle, with Lenz Saturday night while she was at work.

When she went into his room Sunday to wake him up, Goldrine said she found Anthony unresponsive. That was when she called 911.

Paramedics pronounced Anthony dead on the scene.

A sheriff's spokesman said the child did not have a medical history that would have caused a sudden death, and added there were a lot of unanswered questions.

Goldrine said the toddler had been complaining of headaches.

"He was good to him, nothing out of the ordinary," Goldrine said of her son's relationship with her boyfriend. "They were close. My son calls him 'Dad.' They're fine. They were fine."

The toddler would have turned 3 on Feb. 25.

Clark said Lenz's story just didn't add up.

"In the interview process, he has cooperated. He offered his side of the story. Does it match what we've seen? No. Does it mean part of it didn't play out like that? I don't know," Clark said.OVIEDO -- An autopsy has determined that 2-year-old Anthony Cabral had suffered blunt force trauma and now his mother's boyfriend, Jason Lenz, has been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse.

I figured the boyfriend had something to do with it. Bless the boy's heart may he RIP.

Yep, Silva I'm sorry but it was the boyfriend. Trauma to the head. Fucker he is.

**Silvahalo** · January 26th, 2009, 09:35 PM

I was really hoping I was wrong. He called him dad... I hope this fucker is haunted by this little ones face and Anthony's last sounds of cries....

I doubt he will divulge the details, and frankly, it just doesn't matter. This baby killer took a precious life and nothing he says now will bring him back, tho it might make a diff. in sentencing. Like to see him hang from a tree I would.

My heart goes out to the mother who has lost her light of day...Little AJ, you deserved life to be cherished and protected.
Be happy little one in the heavens.

**theskyisfalling** · January 26th, 2009, 09:39 PM

I knew it. No man is ever going to watch my children. Ever. I don't care how much I might love him.

**AMINFH** · January 26th, 2009, 09:56 PM

Yep just like the others, I read that the baby was left with the babysitter boyfriend and I had that suspicion thats all that needed to be said to guess what happened next. How can these so called men get off on hitting children, nevermind hitting them so hard they are killed? I will NEVER understand.

I hope that baby didnt suffer very long.

Took a look at her ms, she really should change that picture...it's screams...slut.

She has a lot of pictures of A.J. posted, I think she loved him; she just really screwed up in leaving her little one with this bastard AND not checking in on him was a real bad call. Pfft, like when my man says oh, the kiddo's OK, I give him the mama eye. I check on the kiddos no matter what.

Sorry sweet one...

**ineedanap** · January 27th, 2009, 09:57 AM

Sadly, we all knew how this was going to end. RIP sweet AJ.

"The mother has told us that there have been several instances in the past where this child was hurt in his care, and that's concerning. That's concerning to us, and it's concerning to the mother," said Sgt. James Clark, spokesman with the Seminole County Sheriff's Office. "Apparently he's broken an elbow before, sustained a head injury before. He has not offered excuses as to why those things have happened, but it's a pattern."

http://www.cfnews13.com/News/Local/2...9s_murder.html

Okay, her child had a broken elbow and a head injury before. The boyfriend did not offer a reason for how it happened. Then I would say fuck you get the hell out of my house and turn is ass in. Why would she continue letting him watch her child after the two incidences have happened. It makes no sense to me.

**guntotin' liberal** · January 27th, 2009, 12:59 PM

I think mama was in denial. Boys will be boys eh?
AJ was just sooo cute-
this would have pissed me off.

There's pics of him in a cast too.

**Silvahalo** · January 27th, 2009, 02:37 PM

O.K., I take that back. She might have loved him at first, but there's no love when you let your new penis beat your child and you kinda just chrug your shoulders, and say, "boys will be boys".....
I noticed the arm cast but NOT this pic with the black eye and bruises.

Sorry sweet one...

This is no loving mama, she let this shit slide, she doesn't deserve these beautiful babies.

How is she going to explain to her daughter she let a penis, bastard beat her brother and then kill him....
someday, she will have to answer to that.

Rest in peace sweet A.J.

SANFORD - A Seminole County judge today ordered an Oviedo man to be held without bond in the death of this girlfriend's 2-year-old son.

Judge Carmine Bravo found probable cause to support the charges of first-degree homicide and aggravated child abuse as well as an unrelated probation violation charge against Jason Lenz and set arraignment in the case for March 3.

Lenz spoke only twice in the brief appearance at the Seminole County Jail, first to tell Bravo he has "private counsel" and the other time to answer "yes" when asked by Bravo if he also had his own attorney for the probation violation charge.

Bravo asked the Public Defenders Office to speak with Lenz and scheduled a Feb. 6 hearing with his lawyer. The lawyer was not named.

Christ almighty, what a slanky ass hoe bitch. She has this photo on her fucking myspace page next to "R.I.P AJ cabral!"
WTF!!!!! I miss you so much I want the world to see my cooter???

Then she says in a blurb:

I am writing today to let my friends know that my 3yr old son has passed away saturday night or early morning, I really need help in giving him a proper funeral so if anyone out there is ready please send me a message. Thank you and god bless, He was only 3, life is not fair!!

Maybe its me but thats some fucked up shit. Have some respect for your dead child bitch.

To be fair, we're seeing it from the prospective of viewing her myspace and "getting to know her" for the first time. To be greeted by both together *is* jarring. But for the people whom she's addressing - they've seen her myspace pics before, they're familiar with her avatar. It's all old news, so the first thing they're registering if they visit her myspace isn't her ass, ya know? It's a bad first impression for outsiders, but I assume she's more than a picture that highlights her ass to the people that know her, so I don't see why it would cross her mind, that omg, my son died, I better change my photos. Maybe one wearing concealing clothes, looking sad and in black... lest I look cheap or lighthearted to strangers judging me.

I will forgive the MySpace pic cause Castille is right, I might not even remember to do it or how to do it in my grief. Someone else could have changed her about me for her. But I will not forgive her for seeing her child look like this and still leaving him with this man. She had to have known what was going on, and just hoped it didn't get too serious. Unfortunately it did.
