Foster mom who risked life to save baby in fire gets sued by baby momma

**Vinron** · June 25th, 2008, 10:52 AM

Unbelievable.

A snippet of the article from the Peoria Journal Star:

"Edwards, 50, suffered third-degree burns and was in a coma for about five weeks. Her house, was destroyed in the fire, and she is facing nearly $1 million in medical bills, having been through several surgeries and only needing more. Full of pain, both physically and emotionally, Edwards didn't think it could get any worse.

Then last month, Edwards received a letter that she is being sued by Anariah's mother, Tanesha West, who is claiming damages in excess of $50,000 for the wrongful death of her baby."

The forster mother, Edwards, and her husband ADOPTED Tanesha West's other 3 kids. Read the whole article and see the pictures of the injury to the foster mother. The fire appears to be accidental and the rest of the family got out safely. If she gets any money, I hope Ms. West enjoys it IN HELL.

Yikes! I probably shouldn't have read this one so early in the morning.....
What a fucked up deal! First of all, the bio mom feels she can put a 'price' on the child? A child that she didn't even have custody of??
I'd love to know why she lost custody in the first place.
I hope she gets her greedy, selfish ass laughed out of court.

The biological mother didn't even give a flying fuck about any of her kids until it looked like it would be convenient for her so she could "hit the lotto" with a lawsuit. She should be fucking grateful that someone gave enough of a shit to try and save that child! And 4 kids...they should have sterilized that dumb cunt by now.

I pray that a judge dismisses that case as being frivolous.

What the hell fucking twisted lawyer even took this case in the first place? I hope he's laughed out of the bar for wasting the court's and humanity's time.

The incubator is a greedy bitch who has the brains of a gnat and should be swatted ASAP. Where does she think she's going to get $$ from? There was a reason she didn't have her kids and I doubt it was because CPS took pity on her and thought she needed a rest.

She is a sorry pathetic excuse for a human - wasting air, space and other valuable resources.
Go green and recycle her. I bet she'd make a fine butt plug.

The elf diddling lawyer has a YAHOO email address! Way to inspire trust and professionalism, ya yahoo. Can't figure out how to make your hosting email work with Outlook?

He's only 5 years out of law school and already acting like a big headed ego bomb. He's probably gearing up to give James Sokolove (noted ambulance chaser of TV ad fame) a run for his money.

I HATE fucktard lawyer scum. I'm the daughter of a lawyer who has practiced personal injury law. I would crawl under a rock and divorce my dad if he was even a tenth of the asshat this jerk is.

People like him are an insult to a turd's intelligence. :target: (Don't know why that is called "target... looks like jumping pile of shit to me)

OH YEAH!!! and Hi Vinron and welcome!!

I smell a welfare, loser, POS who couldn't even keep her own kids just trying to take advantage of this tragedy to make an easy buck.... I will also bet she would not have risked her own life in this manner to save her own child had this occurred in her home ... I hope she rots...

**ImmortalOne** · June 25th, 2008, 11:43 PM

Only $50,000?! Damn that's a cheap child!

I am with the rest of you.. WTF?! The woman tried to save that baby... the incubator obviously didn't do a good job at being a mother, or she would've had her children...

I smell an entitlement whore.

http://www.pjstar.com/news/x18164368...ter-fatal-firePEORIA — Burn victim Valerie Edwards said more than just her physical wounds are finally healing.

A judge last week threw out a wrongful death case filed against Edwards and her husband, Elbert, last May by Tanesha West, the mother of the Edwards' foster child who died of smoke inhalation after a Dec. 26, 2007, house fire.
