In what is turing out to be the most heartbreaking story I have received news about this year, today in New York a 4 year old chid has been found deceased from apparent neglect at the hands of her parent.
Brooklyn police were called to the home of 4 year old Marchellla Pierce this morning at 6 a.m. by her mother that claims she discovered the child lifeless and unconscious this morning. The mother, Carlola Pierce told police detectives that she checked on the child this morning at 4 a.m. and she was fine but then when she checked at 6 a.m. the child wasn't breathing. Pierce then waited almost two hours before she alerted medical officials and police of her child's status. When police did arrive they discovered the child, weighing only 15 pounds, with her arms and legs bound to the side of her crib with twine in a house that described as "exceptionally filthy" and cluttered. The mother has been arrested and is answering further questions at the police department and her other two children, a 5 year old and a 9 month old have been taken to social services. There are reports that the agency has been called to the home on prior occasions in reference to neglect by the mother.
Just so you know, the average weight of a 4 year old is 35 pounds and the weight of this poor little victim was equivalent to that of a 6 month old.
That is so heart breaking...I panic when my kids run out of cereal I can't imagine not feeding them on purpose.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! This mother is a disgrace to motherhood and should be jailed with a scarlet-lettered-picture of the child on her prison uniform so that other prisoners know what she is in for.
ReplyDeleteHorrible and disgusting. Our local paper today has an article about a monster who was just sentenced for RAPING a 9-MONTH OLD BABY GIRL. They gave him 30 years in prison but I'm doubtful he'll make it a year before he gets beaten to death.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that a mother could actually do this to her child! Your story, UNBELIEVABLE!! How can you be turned on by a 9 month old baby? Pedophiles are sick to the core and he better hope protective custody os better than it was on Oz b/c inmates will get justice for the family and victim.
