.....but someone was asking for an update. Here it is:

"" (Reuters) - The death of a 3-year-old
Maryland boy discovered last month in a park
swing where his mother had been pushing him
for three days has been ruled a homicide,
authorities said on Tuesday.
The boy died of dehydration and hypothermia,
according to a statement from Charles County
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Diane
Richardson.
Officers found the boy, Ji’Aire Lee, around 7
a.m. on May 22 after witnesses reported
seeing a woman pushing a child on a swing
for an unusually long time at a park in La
Plata, about 35 miles (55 km) south of
Washington, Richardson said.
When the officers arrived they found the 24-
year-old mother, who has not been identified,
still pushing the child, and realized
immediately that he was dead.
The boy and his mother had been at the park
since Wednesday morning, Richardson said.
Police found them Friday.
The boy was alive Wednesday when he was
placed in the swing where he stayed until
police found him, Richardson said.
Police did not give a time of death, but
Thursday's temperatures were unseasonably
cold, Richardson said.
There were no obvious signs of trauma. The
mother was taken to a hospital for an
evaluation.
No charges have been filed pending a review
by the Charles County State's Attorney's
Office.""

Why do we need the death penalty?
Anybody that argues against the death penalty tell me why she deserves to live.
I hope they botch her lethal injection and it takes her a week to die.

Im gonna guess its because she is certifiably crazy as a $hit house rat......

I just read this also... I do think there is more to this story.. IMO if this was just cold blooded for any reason she wouldn't have been in the park with the child for so many days.

Thanks Archer for reposting

It IS just a strange, weird story, isnt it?

I asked for the update, so thanks.

it is weird, but very sad.

was the child healthy before?? and he only died as a result of being pushed on a swing for 3 days for the reasons stated in the Opie's post.

Makes me wonder WTF...why didn't someone approach her to check on her - the boy - both of them?



I'm just wondering what part of caring for your neighbor was that area concerned about? OMG --- this just seriously makes me sick to my stomach! DAMMMMMM

TY for the update; I had wondered whatever came about with this event!

I know, if that was me, I would have checked on them, and I would have called the police even if I was slightly concerned. its shocking to think no one realized, she cant have been acting normally surely. it seems like she had one huge breakdown.

also a lot of people take their children to the park a few times a week, surely at least one person, would have saw her still there the next day and/or the day after.

and the child was dead, did no one notice that!!!

Hey Ms Debbie...and yes, I knew you had asked for an update in the elusive old thread....I just didnt wanna call ya out in the OP of this one lol
I wish I had answers to your question about whether the child was healthy or not....but, this update is all Ive seen.

What I read there was still so much more pending..They haven't even made an arrest yet due to the investigation. I am willing to bet the mother is in a mental ward.

Yes it is sad that we are not more aware of our surroundings. We all seem to busy in our own lives we miss tragedies everyday.

hiya

thanks, much appreciated

i would hope that's where she is. she clearly needs psychiatric help.

devastating to think, if just one person helped, this may not have happened.

while I was back in the old 'Current Events' room...I found the original thread that Tomato started Pg#3

http://mingle2.com/topic/433840


Yes, I whole heartedly agree, Debbie; while the father was making motions/sounds to obtain custody of his little guy --- once again it appears that this mother {for whatever reasons} might have been suffering from mental/medical issues and was in deep-deep need of 'HELP'!

And no one offered to / or asked her / reached out to her;
for 3 dam days

THERE that sucker is!

I know, just shocking

I Just can't believe no one noticed something was not right.. what a sad story. Maybe the child somehow died and the Mom snapped and refused to believe the child was dead. I have read of that happening.

regardless, a very sad story

that's exactly what I thought, and I typed it and then edited, when I saw rebel post a article stating the child was alive before.( the first post on this thread states this)

but im thinking was the child sick and dying and that's why.

since I read this story ( which started on the other thread) I haven't stopped thinking about this, its just so sad and heart breaking.
