Willis Lambert paroled on child abuse conviction; Now has a dead daughter

[Dakota Valkyrie]

Willis Joe Lambert was jailed Wednesday in connection with the death of his 6-month-old daughter just 14 months after being paroled in a child abuse conviction.

Rachel Michelle Lambert died Tuesday morning at an Oklahoma City hospital after Willis Lambert called 911 to say she wasn’t breathing, police said. A spokeswoman for the state medical examiner said Rachel’s death was ruled a homicide caused by whiplash, also known as shaken baby syndrome.

Investigators interviewed Lambert, 37, of Choctaw at police headquarters Wednesday and booked him into the Oklahoma County jail on a murder complaint, police said. He remained jailed Wednesday without bail.

Lambert pleaded guilty 10 years ago in Oklahoma County to abusing his then-2-month-old son, Isaac Arnold Lambert. He began serving a 20-year prison term in May 1999 and was paroled in April 2008. Lambert admitted using "unreasonable force” on his son, who had bruising around his eyes, a broken collarbone and a broken leg.

He told police he put Rachel in a bassinet in her home at 2416 SE 51, about 9:30 p.m. Monday and called 911 about seven hours later when he got up and noticed she was "very still,” according to a police report.

Rachel’s mother, who lives in the house on SE 51, told police she and Lambert had been dating about 12 years and planned to marry next week.

Police said two other children were removed from the home.

I knew when i clicked on this one that this would piss me off... She knew he was in jail for abusing a baby so she leaves him with a baby? WTF? I just dont get it.
This man never should have been paroled in the first place. This strengthens my stance that child abusers should never be free again to harm another child. Why was this man paroled? RIP little one... noone can hurt you now

[coffee achiever]

If they've been dating 12 years, odds are it was HER baby he abused the FIRST time.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, STUPID woman. She should lose custody of her living children and have her tubes tied immediately if she's hellbent on sticking by this baby killer.

[AngelFire]

I hate her even more than I do this shit for brains. She needs to taken out back and shot. Fucking worthless bitch

[Sister Iroz]

Once a child abuser always a child abuser. It does sound like it was possibly this woman's baby he abused back in 1999 why the fuck did she take him back dumb ass.

[April]

Another story that involves a stupid bitch and a baby beating BF. He beat up a 2 month old and not only did she take him back, SHE HAD ANOTHER BABY!!!! What the fuck?? Is she retarded??

[Jaded]

Latrice Russell was arrested in mid-June on charges
of first-degree murder and enabling child abuse.

Two siblings whose 6-month-old sister died from shaken baby syndrome told Department of Human Services investigators the baby’s father had been learning how to hold her.

Willis Joey Lambert Jr., 37, and Latrice Sharron Russell, 34, are charged with first-degree murder in connection with the June 9 death of their daughter, Rachel Lambert, at an Oklahoma City hospital.

Lambert confessed to fatally shaking his daughter at their Oklahoma City home because he couldn’t get the infant dressed after a bath, police said. Russell was charged with failing to protect the infant from a known child abuser. An autopsy report showed the baby died of a brain injury and had suffered five broken ribs earlier.

The two siblings, ages 13 and 11, are Russell’s children. Lambert, the father of the 11-year-old boy, went to prison in 1999 for abusing him.

The state Commission on Children and Youth’s Office of Juvenile System Oversight released the report last week.

The surviving siblings told investigators Lambert was learning how to be appropriate with Rachel, according to the report. Lambert would sometimes get nervous when holding the baby and would get mad or frustrated because he did not know how to hold her correctly, the children told investigators.

The children also said Russell would give them "whooping(s)” and Lambert would give "whooping(s)” to the 11-year-old, the report states.

DHS is seeking to terminate Russell’s parental rights.
[...]

Police reported in 1998 that Lambert confessed to placing a rag over his then 2-month-old son’s mouth because he was crying. The infant suffered injuries from lack of oxygen and had bruising around his eyes, a broken collarbone and a broken leg.

Lambert’s parental rights were terminated and he served almost nine years of a 20-year sentence on the abuse charge. He also was on probation in the 1990s for drug offenses.

Affidavit for Russell's arrest: http://www.okcfox.com/newsroom/featu..._Affidavit.pdf

According to the affidavit, her family was against the relationship and her having another baby with the assclown. She insisted he was a "changed man".

[carolinablue]

oh yeah, he's a changed man; instead of almost killing a baby, he graduated to entirely killing a baby. great job, asshole. the incubator needs to be implanted with a "stupid alarm" that will sound loudly whenever she is about to engage in moronic behavior...like welcoming a child abuser back home and having another baby. whonk, whonk, stupid alert,stupid alert, whonk, whonk

[battery jackson]

this man seems like the biggest idiot alive. gets mad at a baby because he cant hold it right or put its clothes on? obviously this man is defective. we need to send it back.

[Little Pea]

GRRRRRR. That poor eleven year old, having his father come back into his life after being safe from him, to get whoopings from him. I just imagine this guy was a real peach to be around, with all of his frustration because he could not learn how to hold the baby...WTF is that? He sounds like an edgy angry asshole.

That bitch of a mother...marrying a man who abused their child, when he was showing signs that he just can't handle such arduous tasks as holding a baby, or interacting with her. He was learning! What a sorry excuse for a man. Mom betrays her children like that, I would never let him near my kids again - and I sure as hell would not subject my eleven year old to whoopings and abuse again from that fuck.

They both FAIL.

I just don't understand. Why do the courts do shit like this? The courts around here do the same God dammed shit. There was a 2 year old boy and his older sis who were repeatedly taken away from their druggy parents. The mom's family tried and tried to adopt them but the fucking courts INSISTED the bio parents have them. Now that little boy is dead by the hands of his father and his sister watched it happed.

My dad and his fiancee are raising her 3 grandsons. The oldest one almost had his toe burnt off by a crack pipe they stuck in the crib when he was a babe. That kid is now 13 and does not want to see either of his bio parents. Earlier this year, he told the judge that, the judge told that 13 year old that "he was GOING TO SEE HIS FATHER ANYWAYS".

MInd you besides the crack pipe incident, his father pregnanted a 13 year old girl, been convicted multible times of menacing, DV, violation od a top, dui and drug abuse. The fathers whole family is trash. Why do the courts do this? I read about a woman in georgia who was attact in her own home and they took her daughter away! Why do they fuck with decient parents and give the shitty ones custody and visitation? WHY?

[Undeniable Truth]

Willis Joe Lambert pleaded guilty to a first degree murder charge on Monday in the murder of his daughter, Rachel Lambert. He has been sentenced to life in prison. Oklahoma is a death penalty state, so I'm sure that copping a plea was within his best interest given that this was not the first time he'd abused a helpless infant.

Court documents say he admitted he violently shook the girl when she resisted getting dressed after a bath.

Records show Lambert was released from prison in 2008 after serving nine years for abusing his son in 1998. Police say he placed a rag over the 1-month-old boy's mouth because he was crying and that the child suffered injuries from lack of oxygen.

If Lambert's rights were terminated for the boy he abused in 1999, how is it he has custody of that boy?

If Lambert's rights were terminated for the boy he abused in 1999, how is it he has custody of that boy?

From an article above:

The two siblings, ages 13 and 11, are Russell’s children. Lambert, the father of the 11-year-old boy, went to prison in 1999 for abusing him.

They terminated HIS rights. She still had hers. And she let the shithead back into the home.
