That story is irrelevant to the news story in the first post because that couple and baby should have never been here in the first place. They should have been Mexico's problem. All 3 of them should have been placed on an immigration hold at the hospital and should have been picked up at the parking lot and put on the next border patrol van heading south when she was discharged.

Agreed but I am guessing the baby was a US citizen because ze was born and lived in the United States before ze's untimely death. Therefore, where they get charged for the crime is not so black/white.
Dear League Girl, I believe the case you refer to is the one the book 'A Death In White Bear Lake' is about. It was made into an excellent 2-part mini-series starring BeverleyD'Angelo. The adoptive mother terrified numerous people, not just her kids, for years, even threatened to burn 1 woman's house down. More than 1adopted child had died in her care before she got little Dennis. With all of this, how did she manage to get these kids, why was the abuse not seen or reported, how was Dennis death labeled as natural (he was dug up and re-autopsied(did I just make up a word?) after the birth mother went looking for him, THEN it was found he'd died from a massive blow to the head)? The reason was, her husband was the police chief. He protected her, never believed a word against her, they were BOTH scary people. And children died. Oh, by the way, I live in California, so the current case is well-publicized. Though she will undoubtedly try for an insanity defense,there is one little problem, to me, at least. After she removed his helmet, dropped him 4 stories, she walked into the facility and had her parking validated. Not sure how this fits in with 'she had no idea what she was doing). Sylkat

Children can also cover their abusive parents' tracks by being brainwashed. I know I never eluded to the fact that there were things going on at home & at their friends' house that should not have been. I kept my mouth shut, even after my dad threatened to kill me in front of witnesses, even after my adoptive mother came at me with a long bladed kitchen knife poised over her head to stab me. I have no doubt that she intended to harm me as she had a crazed look on her face. It was only when I cried out that she left the room. She also never apologized for her behavior. Kids who are brought up to believe that "as scary as it is here, it's even worse out there" will keep their mouths shut. It's also why Jaycee Dugard said nothing to anyone about being kept in captivity. Sad fact but true. Parents can use fear as a major control tactic.
Hopefully this woman will never get out of prison. If she is released, she needs to be sterilized so she cannot bring another child into this world to abuse. Unfortunately, this seems to be a horribly common trend & it appears it's only going to get worse.
