Neighbors Horrified As 15-Month-Old Boy Dies In West Tulsa Duplex Fire
Nov 10 2011

TULSA, Oklahoma -- Tulsa firefighters found the body of 15-month-old boy in a back bedroom of a duplex damaged by fire early Thursday.
The fire was so intense firefighters had to wait to begin a search of the building. Tulsa Fire got the alarm just before 6 a.m. in the 1400 block of West Admiral.
Firefighters went in the front door, but were forced back out because of the intensity of the fire.
Neighbors watched in horror -- knowing that a baby was trapped inside with no way out.
Four people escaped the burning duplex, including a mother -- hysterical, because her 15-month-old was in grave danger.
"She was just hollering, 'My baby's inside! My baby's inside!'" Said Fred Pace, neighbor.
Firefighters saw nothing but a sea of orange flames in the back bedroom. They put out the fire, but couldn't rescue the boy in time.
"You never feel like it's a success whenever it ends like this. But they did the very best," said Asst. Tulsa Fire Chief Mike Bailey.
"I saw the ambulance load the body bag and all that. Both of us broke down into tears because of the infant. That's horrible," said Gary McGrady, neighbor.
Neighbors say words can't describe how they feel, or what they saw next.
"It was getting going. It was growing faster," said Tulsa Fire Cpt. Gerry Benefield.
The terrible tragedy left neighbors wishing they could have saved the boy.
"If I had known that baby was there, you bet I would have," said Gary McGrady, neighbor.
The connecting duplex sustained smoke and water damage. Two people who lived in that portion of the duplex made it out safely.[...]

'Major Meth Cook' Arrested After Tulsa Toddler Dies In Duplex Fire
Nov 14, 2011

TULSA, Oklahoma -
Fire investigators arrested two more people on drug charges after a fire killed a Tulsa toddler. They say one admitted to making meth at the duplex that went up in flames last week.
A 15-month-old boy died at that duplex Thursday when a fire engulfed his home. Now investigators have rounded up three people, all accused of meth related crimes.
In front of the blackened duplex is a sad reminder of what was lost, a memorial bouquet and a half-melted red wagon.
Fire investigators are still sifting through the charred rubble to find out what sparked the fire that killed the toddler.
"Heartbreaking, when we lose the life of a little one like that," said Gary McGrady, neighbor.
When firefighters arrived on the scene, the back bedroom was wall of flames. Four grown-ups escaped the burning duplex, including the baby's mother. But fire crews couldn't save the toddler.
Now three people are behind bars on meth-related charges. Jacob Bell was arrested first, accused of child endangerment and drug possession. Now investigators have a man they call a "major meth cook" in custody, Jeffrey McBride.
McBride has a rap sheet that goes back to the 1993. He was in and out of prison for ten years for various crimes, including drug possession and felony kidnapping.
Investigators say McBride had a string of warrants out for his arrest for drug-related offenses. They tracked him down at a North Tulsa home, where they say they found a large amount of ingredients to make meth.
Investigators also say after McBride was arrested, he admitted to making meth at the duplex the day before the deadly fire.
Charles Spencer wasn't linked to that fire, but he was arrested. Police say he owned the home with all of the meth ingredients.
Investigators ask neighbors to be vigilant and report suspicious activity. They say tips from ordinary people just like you have been crucial to several arrests in the last few weeks.

Ayden Jennings Funeral

Ayden killed in meth fire that all the adults escaped from but not one grabbed him!

11/21/2011

A Father buries his 15-month-old son today, after the child dies in a meth lab fire.

Donald Hogue blames lawmakers for not passing a bill that would require a prescription for Pseudoephedrine, a key ingredient found in meth.

Little Ayden Jennings was laid to rest in the Garden of Angels at Floral Haven Cemetery.
His mother, Jennifer Jennings, her boyfriend Jacob Bell and Jeffrey McBride are all charged with making meth.

“This isn't something I was looking forward to. I was hoping to come and play with my son and everything, but instead I have to come to his funeral,” says Hogue.

Donald is fighting to get House Bill 1235 passed.
The bill would require a prescription for certain types of Pseudoephedrine medication.

"I lost my son to a nasty drug, and I think the lawmakers need to do what they need to do to step up to the plate,” says Hogue.

Donald believes had the bill been passed, his son might still be alive.
State representative, Doug Cox and other Oklahoma lawmakers are working to see that it does, but pharmaceutical companies are putting up a big fight.

"Their point is that is punishes innocent people by forcing them to obtain a prescription from a doctor,” says Cox.

David Starkey is a longtime advocate against meth.
He attended Ayden’s funeral and is hoping something will be done to save the lives of innocent children.

"I don't know how big this stack of pictures of children that have died is going to get, before these legislators get their hands out of the drug lobby pockets and pass this thing,” says Starkey.

For Donald, he will continue to fight to get the bill pushed through.

"I think they were wrong in not passing this law, because it’s affecting families and children all over the place,” Hogue Says.

House Bill 1235 was approved by the house committee last year, but never passed due to pressure from lobbyists.

Did Hogue live in the house, too? It sounds like he did. If that is the case, he should be pointing fingers at himself as much as at the law. I understand his feelings on this, but I don't actually agree. Meth makers will come up with ingredients anyway, and if they can't, they'll make krokodil instead (or something just as awful). If you want to make pseudoephedrine illegal without a prescription (it certainly bitches me out that my cold medicines aren't as effective now that they use allergy meds instead and that I have to go to the pharmacy counter to get anything with pseudofed in it), why not also make the red phosphorus illegal without a permit or take epsom salt off the shelves, too?

[Zazen]

Naturally, I feel that we should do something to slow down or at least curb the production and usage of meth. However I find myself to feel deeply cynical about prescription only pseudoephedrine being the magic solution.

Sometimes I think maybe a drug island . Want to use dangerous drugs come to drug island no kids allowed , a free tubal and or vasectomy to every customer.

[AngelFire]

What cowardly drug whore. She wanted to save her own ass and left baby inside trapped? In prison, hopefully she will sober up and the realization that she left her baby boy to die will eat her alive. That much she deserves. Meth, grrrr

[DamagedGoods]

My house is shaking and I'm feeling bitter. The two are not related. I just felt the need to share. Perhaps the father should blame not having custody for his child's death more than the fact that pseudoephedrine is not prescription. I don't mean to say he hasn't fought for custody, I have no idea.

But were I him I'd be pissed that my child had been in the care of people so obviously unfit to care for a child. People like them will just find another way to fuck up their lives and the lives of those around when you ban one.

[CbabyRKO]

Bullets to the dome for all! Make them dig their own graves first the bang bang bang! I would have died a thousand times over in the bowels of that fire before I'd let my baby die. Then again I don't fucking participate in the cooking making or whatever of meth. And making pseudo ephedrine illegal won't do shit. I know people who can make the stuff along wit MDMA. Passing a bill like that isn't going to curb shit it's just going to harm those who actually need the medicine!

[VAS1326]

I absolutely agree if my house were on fire I would either have my kids out safely or I would die trying. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't do anything. If it puts me at risk then so be it. I rather die with my child in my arms trying to get out then live without a single one of them any day. She only had one to grab and I doubt when the fire started it was as brutal as when the fire fighters came. I mean 3 of them made it out okay. The only one who didn't was the one who could not get himself out. There is no excuse why she or any other adult in the house didn't grab him before running out of the house themselves.

[malq]

While I would like to do anything to curb the making of meth, if we restrict Sudafed.. or psuedophedrine it will just flow into the country in other ways. Superlabs in South America and Mexico make meth by the ton. there is nothing stopping them from making pure psudo by the ton. in fact it makes it easier to cook because you don't have to precipitae out the filler from Sudaphed

I fear all this will do is make a new market for the cartels which we are powerless over. look at the cocaine trade. It is coming into the country by the ton. I would like to keep our battles here.

Even the best of us can fail horribly in the face of an insurmountable fire. People do have physical limits which no amount of willpower will overcome. Let's be realistic about our expectations of a bunch of fucking methheads. They were probably all passed out when the fire started and didn't regain consciousness until all they could do was run for their lives, worthless as they are.

Sometimes I think maybe a drug island . Want to use dangerous drugs come to drug island no kids allowed , a free tubal and or vasectomy to every customer.

Nah, that's the solution to pedos. Most of them were abused as kids too, so really, the only way to break the cycle is to isolate them from society and prevent them from spawning more victims/future-abusers. People who abuse dangerous drugs are just plain willfully stupid, and should simply be put down.

Four people escaped the burning duplex, including a mother -- hysterical, because her 15-month-old was in grave danger.

I'm confused. Is "baby" some sort of methhead codeword for drugs? Because that's the only way her exclamation makes any sense to me...

I'm wondering the same thing LOL... Goodgods I can't even imagine how I'd feel if this were my child.

There is no way I could leave my son in a burning house. The very idea of standing outside, watching a house burn, knowing "my baby's inside," there is just no way.

@newstarshipmell

I understand what you are saying but I honestly believe in my heart I couldn't just let my child(ren) burn. I have lost too damn much in this life to lose a child and still be walking around breathing knowing I didn't do anything to save them. I could not live with it. I don't think I have it in me to not do something even if it is the wrong thing (like run into a burning building to get my child) I don't think the mother in this case was inhibited from getting the child at first unless the fire had started in or near the child's room. I guess it's possible they were passed out and the fire got way out of hand before they even knew the house was on fire and it got out of control before she even reacted. I guess that's why idiots should buy smoke detectors and stay off fucking drugs and not drink until they pass out when children are in the home.

I agree.

Hell my step dad was a child molester and even he ran into a burning building to save a baby that he didn't even know. Both of his arms were severly burned but the baby didn't have a mark on him.

This just took a big shit on my day. I hope to everything that poor little boy went quick.
