Traffic Stop Leads To Child Abuse Investigation, Meth Lab Find
Meth Lab Could Be Largest Found In Ohio

DILLONVALE, Ohio -- A traffic stop led to the discovery of a meth lab and a case of severe child abuse and landed two people in jail, police in Jefferson County said.
Wells Township police said the investigation started when they pulled over a silver Chevrolet Cavalier Thursday night for a turn signal violation on state Route 7 around 5:10 p.m. Thursday. Inside, police said they discovered 44 grams of crystal meth, marijuana and two handguns.
During the search, the driver, 34-year-old Ryan Neal Custer, told police that there was a child who was in danger.
"After interviewing the subjects in the car, we find out that there is possibly child neglect or child abuse going on in the house this gentleman lives in," said Wells Township Police Chief John Ingram.

Police then headed to a home on Coss Street in Dillonvale. When they arrived, Ingram said they found a 1-year-old girl with "severe burns to its private areas." Officials said the girl was severely injured, dehydrated, filthy and had a fever of 103 degrees.
Furthermore, when K-9 units arrived at the home, one of the police dogs ran to an abandoned house behind the home and found a meth lab.

Ingram said the meth lab could be the largest every found in Jefferson County, and Drug Enforcement Agency officials from Youngstown said it may be one of the biggest in the state.
Custer's girlfriend and the baby's mother, 21-year-old Samantha Burch, was arrested on pending child abuse charges. Custer was arrested pending charges of possessing meth.

Currently, police said their main concern is the baby's condition. She has second- and third-degree burns, but police said they did not know how she was burned. Police said the alleged abuse happened at 821 1/2 Second St. in Brilliant.

The baby was initially transported to East Ohio Regional Hospital then transferred the burn unit at Columbus Children's Hospital, where she remained Friday.
"Just pray for the baby," Ingram said.
On Friday, Wells Township police, Dillonvale police, the Jefferson County Drug Task Force, the Drug Enforcement Agency and Ohio Department of Job & Family Services officials were gathering details. Police said they plan to talk to the Jefferson County prosecutor on Friday and said additional charges and more arrests could be forthcoming.

Yeah I was happy he turned on her but it wouldve been nicer if he did it when he first knew about it
That poor baby must be in some serious pain
Guess BF decided some "good info for less time" was better then the piece of ass he was getting from her

**VXIII** · November 19th, 2010, 11:49 PM

Baby probobly peed or pooped her pants and the mama put her in scalding water, besides the burns, wonder what this does to a persons mind, one boy posted here that lost his toes refuses to get into a tub now, I cant understand how someone can do this over some poop and pee, it take 2 minutes to clean it up if even that, you know how you have training at the hospital on how to breast feed etc? Why dont they include the shaking baby and pee and poop info in it? They should make all new parents take a class on this... She was 1 yr old for gods sake, Poor baby girl is probobly being treated more kindly by strangers in the hospital than she ever got at home... I know with 3rd degree burns she is having to sit in a jacuzzi bath to soak and then they scrape the skin off, its excruciatingly painful and she dont understand, she only is thinking they are hurting her... I hope she has some grandparents or an Aunt who is there with her...

VXIII Or since its a meth house..wiping up baby included grabbing a whatever rag with chems on it.

About the Samantha Burch pictured above, her facebook lists her current location as Washington DC, so it looks like a different person.

I think it could be this person on MySpace, ironically named "Best MOM" (not much to see on her page though, except her abs). But she went to highschool in Bridgeport, which is close to Dillonvale:

Father Of Abused Baby Says He's Been Fighting For Custody

The father of a baby who police said was abused and severely burned told NEWS9 he has been fighting for custody of the child.

The 1-year-old girl was found Thursday evening at a home on Coss Street in Dillonvale. Wells Township Police Chief John Ingram said the girl had "severe burns to its private areas," was dehydrated, filthy and had a fever of 103 degrees.
[...]
Police said the baby's father, who lives in Wheeling, is not facing any charges.

The father said his daughter had to have surgery just months ago after she swallowed a chemical. Since then, he said, he's been trying to get custody of his young daughter.
"Second strike this year. Let's not have a third. Next time I feel like I might be burying her, might not be holding her this time. So let's just hope it comes out better this time," he said.

He said he saw his baby for the first time in months at a local hospital Thursday night and was stunned by her burns and injuries.
"Soon as I got there, they showed me and it was -- you can't describe it. Just melting skin is what it looks like," he said.

He said the hardest part is seeing his baby with tubes and IVs lying in the hospital. He said he hopes now that the child is out of the home, her life can change for the better.
"(Parents are) supposed to be the caregiver and the care provider. You're not supposed to endanger them. Nowhere is that part of being a parent at all," he said. "If she walks out with a smile on her face -- maybe in the arms of people that can really take care of her and care for her and give her a better life -- that enough is a better reward than anything else. As long as she's out of harm's way."

Police said the abuse happened at 821 1/2 Second St. in Brilliant. The baby has second- and third-degree burns, but police said they did not know how she was burned. The baby was initially transported to East Ohio Regional Hospital, then transferred the burn unit at Columbus Children's Hospital, where she remained Friday.

Would they have searched his house anyway after the traffic stop?

**dnr12234** · November 21st, 2010, 02:34 AM

Ok so i live in the same town and i kinda know sam. this is the story. a couple months ago sam let her child drink roofing chemicals out of a gaterade bottle. she claimed she didnt know it was in there. the child was in the icu at a childrens hospital for three months. she was put on dialysis and had to individually clean every organ at once. at first she was given a 10 percent chance to live put pulled through three months later. she has a scar from her chest to the bottom of her abdomen. now her bf was pulled over in a traffic stop and told on sam. when they investigated the house they did find her with a 103 temp and she was filthy. she has second and third degree burns all over her body and bruises from suspected abused. she told them the burns to her privates were from her being raped and the rappist trying to clean her with bleach. no. the doctor did a rape kit on her and it came back negative. the doctor now thinks the burns are chemical burns and her diaper is what they were using to transport the meth. yes this makes me sick to my stomach to know that this little angel has been through so much stuff already and shes not even 2 yet. she needs to die in prison. and the dad has been trying to get custody since the first time that little angel was in the hospital and he will get it if she pulls through this time. pray for that little girl please. she needs everything she can get right now.

**Whisper** · November 21st, 2010, 01:11 PM

thanks please keep us updated on the baby
hope she heals fast and daddy gets her ,providing hes a good person hopefully

**TwiztidAngel** · November 21st, 2010, 02:28 PM

sam let her child drink roofing chemicals out of a gaterade bottle

thanx for the update DNR....question though: my hub's is a roofer (shingle, torchdown, and the new metal ones) what roofing chemical was she using? the only ones i can think of are glue like substances and the chalk they use to pop the lines to go as a guide for standard shingle roofs

Maybe it was one of those roof cleaning chemicals they use now to get rid of the algae that grows on the roofs? Or, more likely, it was a chemical that is used to make meth.

Just horrible. What the hell did she do to baby girl? christ, people are so sadistic. I don't think she would have made it for long with that temp, dehydration and burn...sweet thing heal completely.

**badfish76** · November 21st, 2010, 10:39 PM

Ok I know this is gross or whatever, but I know a couple of dudes who would use meth rectally. They swore it was the best high ever. Considering that neither of them ever had to go to the hospital for it I doubt the baby was burned from them stashing dope in her diaper. Also people snort the shit and no one has to go to the hospital for that.

I could imagine a chemical covered rag or something in the tub, but it is most likely that the cunt scalded the baby in the tub for pooping a nasty, squishy poop.

**dnr12234** · November 22nd, 2010, 01:28 AM

I will certainly keep you guys posted as i hear something. theres a lot more i could tell you that would make sam look like the nasty little thing that she is but we will focus on the little girl. i hear something everyday;; we used to work together and my best friend is friends with the babys dad whose trying to get custody. hes an awesome man with a wonderful job. the last i heard today was that she is still in the burn unit at Columbus childrens hospital and is in stable condition, they gave the wonderful news that she will make it, its just going to take a while.

as for the burns to her private parts, there still running test. I mean shes one it could possibly be them transporting the meth in her diaper or even her wiping her with a meth covered rag or whatnot. as soon as they hear something on that i will let you know.

and one last thing. the roofing chemical she drank was supposedly an acid of some sort that roofers use to remove the tar off of things. does that sound about right? I mean we all had our supicions. who has a gaterade bottle on the floor with those chemicals in it when a 1 year old is crawling around?

once again thank you all for caring so much and i will keep you posted as i know things.

thanks for keeping us updated!

**TwiztidAngel** · November 22nd, 2010, 10:06 AM

Muriatic acid is an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride gas (HCI). It is a highly corrosive acid. It is used commonly as a reactive chemical solution and is a strong acid that is completely solvent in aqueous solution.

At room temperature,muriatic acid gas is colorless to slightly yellow, corrosive, non-flammable, heavier than air, with highly irritating odor. When exposed to air, muriatic acid fumes form dense white. The muriatiuc acid may be released by volcanoes.

Jefferson Co. Baby Still Recovering From Severe Burns, Abuse

A 1-year-old girl remains hospitalized but is recovering after suffering severe burns and abuse, her father told NEWS9 Monday.

The father, who is not charged and wishes to remain anonymous, said this was not the first time his daughter has been hospitalized under the baby's mother's care. The father said his daughter had to have surgery just months ago after she swallowed a roof stripping liquid.

At that time, he said nurses told him the girl had a 2 percent chance of surviving, but he said his daughter is a true fighter. Since then, he said, he's been trying to get custody of his young daughter.

The girl's mother, 21-year-old Samantha Burch, was arrested on Friday and faces child abuse charges. Burch's boyfriend, 34-year-old Ryan Custer, faces charges of possessing meth.

Police from Dillonvale and Wells Township found the baby -- who just turned 1 on Nov. 5 -- at her mother's Coss Street home in Dillonvale. Officials said the girl was severely burned in her diaper area, dehydrated, filthy and had a fever of 103 degrees.

Police said the abuse happened at 821 1/2 Second St. in Brilliant. The baby has second- and third-degree burns, but police said they did not know how she was burned. The baby was initially transported to East Ohio Regional Hospital, then transferred the burn unit at Columbus Children's Hospital, where she remained Monday.

Isnt that baby a cutie!! I would take her in a heart beat!

**Bohring** · November 22nd, 2010, 07:05 PM

Fucking tweakers!!!

GRRRRRRR....

Thankfully this story didn't end worse (yet - cause damn, that insisted on reunification process forever pisses me off!).

**DSC** · November 22nd, 2010, 09:00 PM

I wonder if Samantha Burch has other arrests on record and/or was a known [meth] addict?

It was mentioned that the baby was on dialysis while in ICU and I wonder if that left her w/ permanent kidney damage?

Poor baby.

But could be and should be more charges. She had and the chance to turn her life around and she did when she was with me. She was doing great until her mom died the year we broke up. Ever since then her life has been in shambles. She turned her back on everything and everyone good in her life. I'm still shocked this happened to her daughter. I kno Sam wouldn't do anything on purpose to hurt her child. It's either someone else did it or it was carelessness on her part. Her daughter was the mms important thing to her I saw it first hand. That meth really did a number on her im telling I that's not the same mother I saw. And it hasnt been that long since I last saw her. WTF Happened damn

that was me...all i know is my hub's uses muriatic acid to clean tar off his tools...then while i was researching whatever it actually was i started a new search on chemicals used to manufacure meth and got this...

* 4 feet of surgical tubing.
* 1 Bottle of Rubbing Alchohol.
* 1 Gallon Muriatic Acid ( Used for cleaning concrete)
* 1 Gallon of Coleman's Fuel
* 1 Gallon of Aceton
* 1 Pack of Coffee Filters

(this is just a partial list...the whole list is quoted in an above post i did)

link to site i got list from: http://www.zoklet.net/totse/en/drugs...ctu172921.html

i didnt know WHICH roofing chemical she used...i looked up muriatic acid....i do know roofers use algaecides to clean off shingles as well

hope that help helps clear up any misunderstanding!

thanx for some insight into this case Goldeneye! Welcome to DD!

Baby Burned By Meth Released From Hospital
A 1-year-old girl burned by methamphetamine has now been released from a Columbus hospital.

Police and doctors said methamphetamine could have been in the baby's system as well as in the dirty diaper officials found on her. They said the presence of meth in her system could have caused the second- and third-degree burns in the baby's diaper area. Lab technicians are also determining if the baby's urine tests positive for meth.

I hope those jail cells are really dark and cold. I also hope that the other inmates keep them awake without drugs for days on end just so they can suffer from sleep deprivation and go insane. Then I hope their delusion include bugs crawling on them so they pick themselves bloody.

See how fun all that shit is WITHOUT the dope. Fucking losers.

I am very glad the baby gets to go home for the Holidays.
