Travis Dempsey, 29

Fuck Me, This Shit for fucking brains Sunday school teaching Fuck Tard broke both is baby's legs the first time at 3 weeks old and did absa-fucking nothing about it, no doctor no nothing. Two weeks later he slams her head to the floor and breaks thigh bone. FUCKING AssClown.

5-week-old baby's injuries investigated as child abuse

Ada — A Sunday school teacher was charged with child abuse of a 5-week-old baby yesterday in Pontotoc County District Court.

Travis Dempsey, 29, Pickett, faces the charge after Pontotoc County Sheriff John Christian investigated a report from child welfare Feb. 10.

The baby, born Jan. 9, 2009, was taken to Valley View Regional Hospital with a broken femur (thigh bone). The baby was transferred to OU Medical Center where three more injuries came to light, Christian said.

Christian said the child had a fractured skull and a fracture above each knee. The fractures above the knees appeared to be healing and were about two weeks old. ( That would make the baby ony 3 weeks old WTF!!)

At first, Dempsey said he was holding the baby in a blanket and the infant slipped out, falling to the floor.

Christian said because of the multiple occurrences of the injuries, he had reason not to believe the blanket story. Through Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) and the C.A.R.E. Cottage, Christian was able to coordinate an investigation.

Christian interviewed Dempsey where he again gave the blanket story, saying the child’s head hit a floor heater.

Finally, Christian said, Dempsey disclosed he had lost his temper because the baby was crying.

“He said he ‘rammed the baby’s legs up to his chest and twisted,’” Christian said. Dempsey said he heard the snap of the baby’s leg at that point.

Christian said Dempsey admitted to grabbing the baby by the waist, raising him up and “slung it down to hit the floor.” The sheriff said this is how the baby received the skull fracture.

“It takes a tremendous amount of force to break a baby’s bones,” Christian said. As an infant, bones are rather flexible due to development and the birth process.

Dempsey faces the charge of child abuse and is currently being held on a $250,000 bond. Christian said he is unsure of the church where Dempsey taught Sunday school.

At this time, the baby’s mother is not facing charges. Christian said she claims she did not know about the abuse.

Christian said the baby is currently in custody with child welfare and doctors expect the infant to make a full recovery from the injuries.

What a fucking douche bag! Okay I keep seeing these stories with babies/children with broken bones. Are broken bones not noticeable? I imagine you would be able to see some kind of abnormality? Then when you touched the child's broken area would they not scream like hell?

If there is a God, this guy needs to die and burn on the 9th plain of hell. I cannot comprehend what would drive a person to do something so awful to a fucking infant. Babies cry, that's what they do, it's how they communicate. My heart just breaks for this precious little one. I hope he never ever sees this poor baby again.

A fucking Sunday school teacher, of all things. Jesus tapdancing Christ.

that is why I never believe the "mothers" that say they had no idea of the abuse, when my daughter was a baby she had somehow jammed her finger and everytime someone touched it she cried (poor baby, it broke my heart everytime, luckily it wasn't bad though and was better in a day or too) so how the hell can a "mother" not notice not one but two damn broken legs!

This crazy bastard, and I use this word way too lightly, was the biggest fuck up and druggie Ada, Oklahoma had for many years. Of course he taught Sunday school, it was the only job he could find. Knowing him personally, I think he is the scum of the fucking earth. Not only has he been responsible for ruining many families, but this dick hole was probably tweeking. I hope that he isn't able to live with himself and tries to kill himself over and over, yet unable to get it correct. Gawd, give him one hell of a cell-mate that abuses his asshole in a way that makes him want to kill himself. Please, hay soos, let him try to function with broken femurs and a stretched out anus. Give this man enough pain that he will never ever forget why he is in his new home!

They PAY people to teach Sunday school around there?

Wow, I know the website has nothing to do with religion, but I hope Max runs across this story and puts him on People You'll See In Hell, too. A person who teaches Sunday school and then causes such catastrophic injuries to a helpless child betrays his faith in the most egregious way possible. Someone in a position of authority like that KNOWS a hell of a lot better than anyone else that what he is doing is wrong, and he KNOWS what Jesus said about children. Far be it from me to put myself in the place of God, but I can imagine the normally mild-mannered Jesus being angry enough to give this guy a taste of His wrath before personally chucking him into Hell if he doesn't genuinely confess his sins, ask for forgiveness, and repent.

ETA: Just so it's not purely thread necromancy:

Travis Dempsey, 30, was sentenced to 22 years each on two counts of child abuse by injury. Assistant District Attorney Greg Pollard said the two sentences will run concurrently and Dempsey must serve 85 percent of the time before being eligible for parole.

Dempsey entered a plea of no contest before being sentenced.

As I do not attend church, I would have no information related to a salary for sunday school teachers. I was meaning it was the only work this man could find, considering he had exhausted all resources in the area. I spoke to a neighbor who does, in fact, frequent church and was told that they do not pay for sunday school teachers. Interesting things you learn. I believe that I should start some kind of activity to get the sick bitch of a mother tried as well. How sweet would that victory be with both of them held in a penitentary for crimes commited to a child...sahhhweet.

I'm always surprised when they do not charge the mom when there are obvious older injuries. Did she get the baby back?

**momof3** · March 2nd, 2010, 03:43 PM

Not to say that the "mom" did or didn't know about the abuse but if she is a first time mom and with the first injury occuring at 3 weeks; who knows what this asshat did to the child prior that wouldn't show up in x-rays! Maybe, just maybe the baby cried alot already and the mom would have know what of knowing??? If there was some type of brusing though I hope she didn't get this baby back!

**sdhadg** · March 2nd, 2010, 03:58 PM

While I believe that this "mom" is a first time mother, I still call BULLSHIT on the *I had no earthly idea what could of happened to my baby, I just assumed all baby's legs fell limp in odd places* bitch and here are the reasons: (1)This girl had to see that baby legs were extremely sensitive because some asshole broke them a couple of times. (2) When this sperm collector was changing baby diapers and he is screaming his f'n head off a red flag should have went off immediately.

Look, I don't presume every new parent knows how to take care of a child, but the only three things you have to do for a while is feed, change, and hold....that's it. Assuming that Travis is the only abuser, that is....I just have this feeling that mom probably broke a leg as well because you know the baby was crying an awful lot, what with his limbs snapping in two by his abusers. GNOME SAYIN

**ImmortalOne** · March 3rd, 2010, 05:50 PM

*Cries* I just want to cry.... I know how helpless and special and wonderful Aaleahya is as I hold her and this... this story breaks my heart so horrible for this baby.

**Silvahalo** · March 3rd, 2010, 06:07 PM

Really how do these fuckers live with themselves? beating on a baby.......and seriously have to wonder how mother did not notice baby wincing, screaming in pain. Sure new mama, I get it that, but I would think broken bone pain would be obvious something is very wrong.

Heal completely baby boy, so sorry.

.....I see a post I haven't been on that Tazzz posted and hope he is back :(

By the same reasoning as you have given, some people may doubt how a baby could 'jam' its own finger. Who jammed her finger?

By your statement she 'somehow' jammed it herself. Was she a baby or a toddler?
