Nereida Allen & Joshua Peacher Beat The Relatives' Kids

**Jaded** · August 29th, 2008, 04:42 AM

It is what happened at an apartment off Manslick Road that landed a Louisville aunt and her live-in boyfriend behind bars. Police say attempts to discipline a nephew in her care turned violent Wednesday afternoon.

"Their abuse was so severe that it caused injuries severe enough to be an assault first degree," Lt. Barry Wilkerson, commander of the LMPD Homicide Unit.

Police arrested 22-year-old Nereida Allen and 23-year-old Joshua Peacher in the case. In the police report, both admit to shaking, jerking and hitting the two-year old boy, even striking him "on his head with their knuckles." The actions left the toddler's body bruised but police say they don't believe it's the first time.

"Some were definitely very recent, some appeared to be older," said Wilkerson of the bruises. "The charges stem from the recent injuries."

Allen and Peacher called Louisville Metro EMS for help and the toddler was taken to St. Mary's Hospital for treatment. That is when police got a call to investigate.

The injuries were so severe the toddler had to be transferred to Kosair Children's Hospital for care as his caregivers were taken in for questioning.

According to the police report, the two-year-old boy showed "no signs of neurological activity" was "on life support" and is "not expected to survive."

Investigators say he wasn't the only child in Allen and Peacher's care.

"There's another sister that gave Miss Allen a child to raise," said the lieutenant." There was minimal injuries to that child also."

Metro Police tell WAVE 3 the second child is in protective custody and they have spoken to the mother of the hospitalized little boy. They say the twenty-year old had given voluntary temporary custody to her sister, Nereida Allen, and Child Protective Service participated in that process.

What crappy pos's....I really hope a miracle happens, but I suppose that is a longshot. I'm glad the other 2 year old was taken out of the house. Or I thinkI read on another news site they were both two. Ugh.....shitty people live near me, and I need to keep my eyes open more.

**Shadow** · August 29th, 2008, 07:15 AM

This is too sad and her myspace pictures make me want to barf....I wish I had some sort of psychic power so I could have made a 2 minute drive to Manslick and used a Louisville Bat to make it impossible for her to hurt anything...or I could have just saved the kids and avoided jail time or being sued by Pos's....Not that I normally drive that way due to the projects and skinny weird thuggy boys toting pit bulls around with chains...

**katyk** · August 31st, 2008, 02:46 AM

Look at that baby!!!!! So heartbreaking.

His myspace page says he is "pissed the fuck off." You're really going to be pissed off, you piece of shit, when Bubba has his cock in your ass. Actually, you might like it. You look like you'd take it well.

**TheImperialCerealKiller** · September 4th, 2008, 09:40 AM

I'm only ever posted a couple times here, but I'm a longtime reader and enjoy defiling criminal's myspaces whenever they're linked. I took the liberty of PMing Mr. Peacher, as I was so disgusted by him. Thought I'd post our back-and-forth messages here, so you can all marvel at the intellectual giantism of J.Peacher, baby-killer (or someone pretending to be him- do they have internet access in prison???) You'd have to read from the bottom up:

Piece of shit baby-killer. So... apparently you can add "Murderer" to your resume now. You killed him, you bastard. R.I.P. Baby Christopher. How do you feel, knowing that you killed a sweet little baby? Why didn't you turds just give the baby to a family who'd take care of him? Why'd you have to kill him? You fucking confessed to it, retard. Have fun getting ass-raped in prison, bitch. I bet baby Christopher will be looking down from heaven laughing his little ass off while the boys bend you over. Be afraid, they just loooooove baby-killers in the big house. Your life is over, homo. Just kill yourself. You don't deserve to suck air. You do deserve to suck cock for the rest of your pathetic miserable life. Hahahahahaha!!!!

Who the fuck are YOU? Some cross-eyed, inbred wigger from bumfuck Kentucky who really should take some good advice and just fucking kill himself. And his slutbag girlfriend, too.
My, what a big man you are, you can beat up babies and leave them brain dead! Tell me why a grown man beats a baby??? To compensate for your tiny little penis? Is that why? Does it make you feel like a man to kill a little kid? You can't pick on someone your own size, you fucking pussy?? You ugly little bitch. How the fuck do you live with yourself? Is it now cool for wiggers to beat babies- is that the latest wannabe-gangster trend? Are you just fucking retarded or what? You look retarded.
Your mother (I bet she's a fat smelly whore, to have produced a cuntrag like yourself, isn't she? A trailer-dwelling cum-dumpster, I'm sure) must be so proud. Seriously, save the taxpayers some money and just die already. You know they love the baby-beaters in prison- have fun getting your asshole tore up on a daily basis! Society (that would be the rest of the world, the people who don't pick on babies, you know- the NORMAL people) will laugh when you become Prison Bitch #1. I hope they castrate you in jail, and run trains on your ass for the rest of your miserable little life. Do you know what castrate means, retard? Hahahaha! Die, shithole.

WHAS11 News has discovered one of the suspects has a prior criminal history, while the other bragged online about drug use. I wonder what took them so long to discover it..

Court records released...

When he arrived at the hospital, battered and unconscious, 2-year-old Christopher Allen had "no chance" of survival, doctors told police.

But his aunt -- who had cared for the boy for just two days, along with his 2-year-old half-brother, Wyatt -- was incredulous and angry when she was told she could face a murder charge, according to a police report.

The aunt, Nereida Allen, 22, said "she couldn't have hurt him that bad," according to court records charging her and her boyfriend, Joshua Peacher, 23, with murdering Christopher and abusing Wyatt.

Her reason?

We "do this stuff to Wyatt all the time" and he "hasn't died," Allen said, according to newly filed Jefferson Circuit Court documents that are evidence in the case.

Peacher, who admitted striking both boys, told police he was trying "to make them into men."

The records paint a dark picture of the lives of Christopher and Wyatt before Christopher's death. The boys had lived with their mothers, 20-year-old twins, before the children were removed by the state Aug. 25 and placed with the twins' older sister because of extreme filth in their mothers' home.

Christopher was "bruised from head to toe" and "probably brain dead," according to doctors who treated him after he was admitted Aug. 27 to Kosair Children's Hospital, a police report said. He died Aug. 28 in the arms of his mother, Jeannette Allen, after he was removed from life support.

Neither Jeannette Allen nor Janet Allen, Wyatt's mother, have responded to requests for comment. The boys have the same father, who was not married to either twin. He lives out of state and had no involvement in the boys' care, according to court records.

Officials with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services also declined to comment. Social workers for the cabinet investigating the case had removed the boys from their mothers and placed them with the aunt for their safety, according to court records.

The mothers' home was filled with animals, animal feces, reeked of urine and was cluttered and filthy, according to the records.

State social workers had visited Jeannette and Janet Allen several times in recent months to investigate conditions in the $336,000 home off Lime Kiln Lane that they inherited when their mother died a year ago, according to records of other agencies involved in the case. The agencies include the Jefferson County health department and animal control officers, the latter investigating reports of up to 14 dogs at the home.

On Aug. 25, a social worker following up a "hotline" complaint found "deplorable conditions" in the home including feces and broken glass on the floor, numerous animals in the house, clutter throughout the home and a strong smell of urine, a police report said.

Also, the social worker noted a cord that was tied to the doorknob of the boys' bedroom with the other end tied to a piece of furniture in the hall, the report said. It said the mothers explained "they use this to keep the boys in their room."

Neither Jeannette nor Janet Allen seemed concerned with the social worker's investigation and "showed no remorse or concern about the condition of the home or the unsafe environment," the report said.

The court records say they voluntarily surrendered temporary custody of the boys to their older sister, Nereida, to give them time to clean the house.

The social worker called Nereida Allen, who "immediately agreed to come get the children," the records said.

"You don't have to tell me," she told the social worker. "I already know the condition of the home."

Nereida Allen picked up the boys on Aug. 25 shortly after the late afternoon phone call, the records said. About 48 hours later, Christopher was admitted to Kosair in critical condition.

At Kosair, Dr. Melissa Currie, a pediatrician who specializes in child abuse, told police Christopher was "brutally shaken" and had bruises on his face, buttocks, head, stomach, arms, legs and back. Doctors said the child's brain injuries were so severe he had no chance of survival.

According to a report Currie provided police, Christopher also had internal injuries to his liver, gall bladder, pancreas and spleen.

Peacher told police he used "hard spankings" to discipline the boy and struck him on the head with his knuckles with increasing force "to ensure he got his point across." He also described snatching Christopher off the floor and shaking him so hard he left handprints on the child's ribcage.

He said Nereida Allen sometimes hit Christopher so hard on the buttocks and genitals it lifted him off the floor.

The police report said that Nereida Allen -- initially angry about being questioned and charged -- began to cry and admitted she jerked the boy to his feet several times.

On Aug. 28, with Christopher on life support, Jeannette Allen asked to hold her son for several minutes, according to court records. Then, with her assent, medical staff removed the support and he died.

**crickett** · October 23rd, 2008, 10:03 AM

Well, I am certainly glad that Child so-called Protective Services participated in placing that sweet little boy in such a safe and caring housing environment. Fucking SHIT!

**Silvahalo** · October 23rd, 2008, 11:03 AM

We "do this stuff to Wyatt all the time" and he "hasn't died," Allen said, according to newly filed Jefferson Circuit Court documents that are evidence in the case.

You stupid bitch, you only die once!...hasn't died before,*shakes head with closed fist*...I want to kick her ugly skank ass so bad...beat her mercilessly. And that piece of shit boyfriend, my sweetest dreams are of him beaten to a *F* pulp and raped by closed fistsbubba's...oh, that's right it won't be a *F* dream, it will happen! I am actually giddy that these two baby-killers have no idea what kind of hell they're going to experience in their new home.

This babies misery and torture is unimaginable. 2 yrs. old, helpless and terrified. I want these baby-killers to feel the same anguish, fear and desperation this poor child was forced to experience. He was failed by everyone in his life...everyone.

I hope to God that his mother, as she held him in her arms for the last time, will forever be haunted with that image...an image of her baby covered in bruises and brain dead. No fuzzy warm pictures you bitch of a mother, you deserve every bit of anguish you feel seeping in to your soul...I'll leave forgiveness to God.

Look at that picture...who couldn't love this baby?? the saddest thing is not recognizing the light of life before you. Little Christopher was that light...innocent and pure.

Rest in peace baby Christopher...may the angels kiss your pain away.

**RockRGrl** · October 23rd, 2008, 11:38 AM

Omifuckinggawd!
Truely heartbroken for Christopher. Such a sad, short life. RIP.
And to Christopher's aunt and boyfriend...I hope you both die a slow, torturous death!

Trial started

Pausing before a graphic color photograph of battered toddler Christopher Allen in his hospital bed, a prosecutor told a Jefferson Circuit Court jury Tuesday that both of the child’s caregivers are responsible for his 2008 death – even if authorities can’t prove who inflicted specific injuries.

“Frankly, there were so many that will be impossible,” Jefferson Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Christie Foster said in opening statements at the murder trial of the child’s aunt, Nereida Allen, and her former boyfriend, Joshua Peacher.
[...]

Officials with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services had removed Christopher and his half-brother, Wyatt Allen, also 2, from the Jefferson County home where they lived with their mothers because of filth and hazardous conditions. Christopher’s mother, Jeannette Allen, and Wyatt’s mother, Janet Allen, are twins who had the boys by the same man and lived in a home they inherited from their late mother, according to court testimony.

Nereida Allen and Peacher also are accused of assault in connection with injuries to Wyatt. They have pleaded not guilty and have remained in custody since 2008 awaiting trial.

Nereida Allen wept through most of Tuesday’s opening statements and clasped a hand over her mouth when Foster displayed to the jury the photo of Christopher’s small body swathed in bandages and connected to multiple medical devices. Peacher, who sat at a separate table, bowed his head and appeared grim.

Lawyers for the two indicated each defendant will blame the other for the child’s condition.

Sheila Seadler, Nereida Allen’s lawyer, said her client is “not guilty of abuse of either one of her nephews who she loved so dearly.”

David Lambertus, Peacher’s lawyer, said Peacher “is not the person who inflicted this horrific beating on this poor little 2-year old.”
[...]

Testimony begins Wednesday before Judge Judith McDonald-Burkman. The trial is scheduled to last about four days.

Assholes have no problem beating babies to death, but when it's their turn to pay for what they did, they cry like little babies
Cowardly pieces of shit scum. 48 hours the baby lasted with these whatever they are, guilty and GP, I say move them around the penal system deferent prison every week so everybody gets a shot at them.

**Valasca** · February 2nd, 2011, 06:15 PM

Aw, she wept? Boofuckinghoo.
How loud did Christopher cry?

**Tundratot** · February 3rd, 2011, 04:02 AM

The boys came to the couple’s apartment on Aug. 25, 2008. Lambertus said evidence will show that the fatal head injury was inflicted on Aug. 27, while Peacher had taken Wyatt on a shopping trip, leaving Nereida Allen alone with Christopher.

But Seadler said evidence will show that Peacher battered Christopher the night before. Christopher became sick overnight and began vomiting and his condition worsened over the next day.

Peacher, she said, got up with Christopher during the night and spanked him for vomiting, forcing the child to clean it up. His aunt was not aware of that, Seadler said, and learned of it only after the child’s death.

http://www.courier-journal.com/artic...-beating-death

A man tells police he abused his girlfriend's nephew because the child wouldn't behave. The man told police the little boy was acting up--and he could not control himself any longer.

. . .

Peacher and Allen are now on trial, charged with complicity to murder. In this first day of testimony, prosecutors concentrated on Peacher. They played tapes of his police interview. Initially, he said he never touched the boy. "Sir, honestly, I do not know what happened," Peacher told police.

But as the detectives pressed, Peacher says he just could not handle the boy's behavior. "He'd be throwing toys, he'd be pooping on the floor," testified Detective Roy Salvey with LMPD on what Peacher said of the boy, "he peed in something one time, you know just kid stuff."

Peacher finally broke down. "Using the teddy bear he showed how he shook Christopher," said Salvey, "he said that he gave him a thump on the head."

Peacher and Allen are both charged with complicity to murder and could face a life sentence. They are also charged in the beating of Christopher's half-brother, Wyatt, who survived.

http://www.fox41.com/story/13955181/...-beating-trial

. . . The defense used Peacher's police recorded statement to lead to a possible explanation.

He said Christopher Allen had violent temper tantrums.

“He kicks, he bangs his head. He loves to bang his head. The first thing he goes to is banging his head on the floor,” Peacher said in the statement. “He hits the front of his head on the floor during his tantrums."

Several witnesses for the prosecution testified Christopher Allen had been beaten.

"He had obvious bruising over large portion of his body and there were multiple bruises over his head and face area on his ear and face,” said Dr. Sandra Herr from Kosair Children’s Hospital.

Herr also testified Christopher Allen's eyes had hemorrhaged and had abdominal injuries and internal bleeding so severe, he had to have a blood transfusion.

On the stand she said the evidence showed he had not only been shaken, but possibly kicked and thrown over a period of time. . . .

There were 55 pages of instructions to the jury. Allen and Peacher were charged with murder, abuse and assault, and according to the instructions, they could be found guilty of lesser charges.

WLKY - POSTED: March 30, 2011

A Jefferson County judge had harsh words during the formal sentencing of a Louisville couple convicted of beating a 2-year-old boy to death.
