Mother drinks while child drowns



An Anaheim woman was charged with murder Wednesday in the drowning death of her 13-month-old son after toxicology tests confirmed she had been drunk at the time.

Paige Elizabeth Looney also was charged with two counts of child abuse and endangerment with a sentencing enhancement for death due to child neglect. She faces a maximum sentence of 25 years to life if convicted.

Orange County Deputy Dist. Atty. Howard Gundy declined to disclose her blood-alcohol level, saying only that the toxicology report "wasn't good."

Gundy said the murder charge stemmed from "implied malice" on Looney's part. She had a "conscious disregard" for Eric, the toddler who drowned Feb. 21, and his 4-year-old brother, Tanner, the prosecutor said.

"She showed extreme indifference for the health and welfare of those children," Gundy said.

Looney, 34, was in court Wednesday to be arraigned on the charges, but the hearing was postponed until March 14 so she could be assigned a court-appointed lawyer. She is being held on $1-million bond.

During the hearing, the public defender who appeared for Looney's initial appearance, Donald T. Barkemeyer, asked the court for a bail review hearing and for a gag order, arguing that Anaheim police should not be allowed to provide information about the case to the public before discussing it with the defense.

Judge Roger Robbins agreed to a bail review but denied a gag order, saying he had no jurisdiction because Anaheim police were not present in court.

Looney's cousin and two aunts declined to comment as they left the Fullerton courthouse.

Eric was the youngest of four children born to Looney by two men who are brothers. Mark Looney is the father of a 12-year-old daughter. Steve Looney is now married to Paige Looney and is the father of Eric, Tanner and another son who died in 2005 at age 2.

Eric drowned Feb. 21 in the family's unfenced backyard pool in Anaheim. His sister called 911 when she arrived home from school.

When police arrived, Paige Looney had pulled her son from the water and was attempting mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, according to police. The boy's father, who lives at the residence part time, was not home when the drowning occurred, police said.

Looney showed signs of intoxication and empty beer cans were found about the house and backyard, according to police. It was unclear how the boy had gotten into the pool, which did not have a fence or barricade surrounding it. Under state law, new pools are required to be fenced.

Police are investigating whether the pool was "grandfathered" in before the law went into effect. They also are reviewing the 2005 death of her 2-year-old son. The cause of death was listed as undetermined, police said, but was linked to a preexisting heart condition.

According to police, the family on the fathers' side repeatedly complained to Orange County Child Protective Services about the way Looney treated her children. Terry Fisher, a spokeswoman for the agency, maintained Wednesday that state confidentiality laws prevented her from confirming or denying abuse reports.

Reached by telephone after Wednesday's hearing, Eric's paternal grandmother said her son and other relatives on her side of the family would not be commenting on the case until Looney was arraigned on the charges.

The Looney children are in protective custody.

what is with the drowning lately

Indianapolis police say a mother of five was watching “American Idol” while her 3-year-old girl nearly drowned in a bathtub last week.


Sheila R. Brooks, 25, has not been charged in connection with the near drowning of Sirius Brooks on Thursday at a home in the 9300 block of East 42nd Street.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sirius was in critical condition Friday at Methodist Hospital. She remained at Methodist on Monday, but hospital spokesman Gene Ford said he is not releasing any information at the family’s request.

Brooks left Sirius and her 1-year-old sister, Sereena, in the tub with about 9 inches of water and went into another room to get clothes, according to a police report made public Monday.

Brooks was in her bedroom when her oldest daughters, Daesheana Twyman, 7, and Dasianaye Twyman, 5, entered the room, police said.

“Daesheana stated that they were … watching ‘American Idol’ on TV … and her mother suddenly stated that she forgot and left the two youngest children in the tub,” Officer Gustavia Dodson wrote in the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report.

Brooks told Daesheana to take the children out of the tub, police said. Daesheana found Sirius submerged and called for her mother.

Brooks performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation while her brother, Darnell Wilson, 38, called 911, police said.
Police found about an ounce of marijuana, five burnt marijuana cigarettes and a scale in the house, according to the report.

Daesheana, Dasianaye, Sereena and a 4-year-old girl not named in the report were placed in protective custody, police said.

Mother Pressure-Washes Kid

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A mother who was videotaped while spraying her 2 1/2-year-old daughter with a high-pressure water hose at an Orlando car wash told authorities she did it because the child was throwing a tantrum.

She told authorities she did not have the hose on full blast, and she said that it isn't as bad as it looks.

The mother said she had used this type of punishment before with a spray bottle.

The mother saw herself on TV late Thursday afternoon and called deputies. She called deputies and said they could come to her apartment to speak with her and see her daughter.

Marlene Diaz, a manager at Magical Car Wash, said she has never seen this type of abuse before.

"You don't do that to a kid," Diaz said. "No child deserves that."

The video showed the child trying to hide her face while the woman pinned her to a wall and sprayed her at close range.

"Disgusted," Diaz said. "I'm mad, infuriated as to how someone could do that to a little child."

Officials said the water shoots out of the hoses with a force of about 1,200 pounds per square inch, powerful enough to create the type of friction and sting from a rug burn.

"Your skin gets red, and at times it could peel," Diaz said.

"That's a pressure washer; that's meant to be used on a car, not on a child," mother Carol Felicicano said.

Diaz didn't see what happened until she checked the surveillance tapes, but she said she heard the girl crying after the mother stopped spraying her.

Diaz said she also heard the mother say, "You're going to learn to respect me. You don't treat me bad. You don't mistreat me; I'm your mother."

Surveillance cameras showed the mother stripped the girl, leaving her standing in the car wash bay naked, while she grabbed a towel and put her back in the car.

The Department of Children and Families said the child was taken to a medical facility for an evaluation.

The child was examined by the Child's Protection Team nurse practitioner and found to have no visible injuries.

DCF did not remove the child from the residence.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office Child Abuse detectives are still investigating the criminal portion of this case to determine the proper course of action.

Sgt. John Allen said Thursday night that the investigation would continue Friday.

Investigators said the mother could face child abuse charges.

Fetus found aboard New York-to-Houston jet

Monday, March 31st 2008, 4:00 AM

Texas cops were trying to identify the passenger who left a fetus in the rest room of a New York-to-Houston jet, officials said.

A cleaning crew made the grim discovery about an hour after Continental Airlines Flight 433 from LaGuardia Airport landed at Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Cops said the plane arrived in Houston at 4:45 p.m. Sunday, about 30 minutes behind schedule.

The fetus was found in a trash bag in one of the plane's rest rooms after passengers already had disembarked.

14 Year old mom kills her baby by flushing it down the toilet

BAYTOWN, Texas -- Baytown police spent Thursday interviewing classmates and teachers at the school where a 14-year-old allegedly tried to flush her baby down a toilet.

Police say they are especially interested in talking with witnesses who entered the bathroom shortly after the eighth grader gave birth.

“Their story is integral to our investigation,” said Lt. Eric Freed of the Baytown Police Department. “We want to make sure we have all the bits, the pieces of the puzzle.”

The infant boy, believed to be near full-term, died inside the school bathroom.

Investigators say they want to gather all the information they can before interviewing the teen, who remained hospitalized at last check.

Investigators tell us the girl left class Wednesday morning at Cedar Bayou Junior School to go to the bathroom. A short time later, she gave birth. Police initially said she tried to flush the baby down the toilet and that the case is being treated as a homicide, but will now say only that the investigation is continuing.

“We are going to put all the information together,” Freed said. “And present it to the Harris County District Attorney’s office.”

The baby was not breathing by the time paramedics arrived. A preliminary autopsy report is scheduled to be released Thursday, but police say they will not announce the results.

They are looking for the boy who may have fathered the child.

11 News has also learned the girl’s family in the process of hiring an attorney.

At the school, counselors met with each class on the girl's schedule. Many students wanted to know how she was feeling and wrote letters encouraging her to get well.

Parents dropping off their kids Thursday morning still expressed shock and disbelief.

“My daughter was scared,” said Donna Abundis, whose child is in the seventh grade. “She’s like, ‘why did this have to happen?’ you know.”

Goose Creek ISD administrators say teachers and administrators had no idea the girl was pregnant.

"She wasn't showing or anything. She didn't tell anybody. It was a surprise," said Veronica Roy whose son attends the school.

She said her 8th grader was so upset, he planned to talk one of the counselors at school.

"Because he said he was on a bathroom break heard, I don't know if it was her or another girl screaming in the bathroom. He said he heard something," Roy said.

Students also were in shock that one of their classmates would be accused of such a horrible act.

“That’s really bad. I cannot believe it. You are like destroying God’s creations,” student Joshua Contreras said.

The students were sent home with letters further detailing the incident.

Earlier this week, another 14-year-old gave birth to a stillborn baby on a Continental flight from New York to Houston.

She won’t face charges because the baby wasn’t alive at birth.

That girl told investigators she didn’t know she was pregnant.

Mother charged in infant son's beating

BY ROCCO PARASCANDOLA | rocco.parascandola@newsday.com
6:43 PM EDT, April 4, 2008

A young Queens mom was charged with attempted murder Friday night in what appeared to be the brutal beating of her infant son, police said.

Pablo Paez, 7 weeks old, was in critical condition at Elmhurst Medical Center. He had no brain activity, police sources said, and had a fractured skill, numerous broken ribs and a broken leg.

His mother, Kiana Paez, 23, took Pablo to Elmhurst shortly before 9:30 p.m. Thursday and told doctors he was unconscious.

Doctors there immediately suspected foul play and called police. The mother, who had been in police custody since then, was also charged with multiple counts of assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

Paez lives with her son in Corona. Last September, her other child, a 16-month-old, was removed from the home by the Administration For Children's Services and placed with a foster family.

ACS wouldn't comment on that removal, but said it is investigating the incident involving Pablo.

Judge imposes death penalty
Melvern resident sentenced in brutal slaying of pregnant woman
By Steve Fry
The Capital-Journal
Published Saturday, April 05, 2008

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Lisa Montgomery, the Melvern, Kan., resident who horrified the public when she strangled a pregnant woman and then cut out her baby, was formally sentenced to death Friday.

Montgomery declined to say anything in the moments before a federal judge pronounced the sentence.
Print E-mail Comment

Lisa Montgomery remained silent as she was sentenced in federal court Friday.

IMPRISONMENT AND EXECUTION

Pending appeal, Lisa Montgomery will be housed at the Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, which provides medical and mental health services to female offenders.

If she is executed, she would be transferred to the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Ind. Lethal injection is the method of capital punishment done there.

The last federal inmate to be executed was Louis Jones on March 18, 2003. Jones, an Army veteran, was sentenced in 1995 for kidnapping, raping and killing Pvt. Tracie Joy McBride, 19.

The last federal execution of a woman was Bonnie Brown Heady in December 1953, who was convicted in the kidnapping for ransom in Kansas City, Mo., of Bobby Greenlease, 6, who was murdered soon after the abduction in September 1953.

During a hearing that lasted only 11 minutes, U.S. District Judge Gary Fenner told Montgomery it was his judgment she should be "sentenced to death."

Montgomery, whose face was obscured by her long, curled hair, didn't react to the death penalty sentence.

Fenner said Montgomery couldn't be executed within 61 days of the sentence or more than 90 days after the sentence, but quickly added an appeal of her conviction would put her execution on hold.

Outside the courtroom, Fred Duchardt, Montgomery's lead defense attorney, said he would file a notice of appeal later Friday. Duchardt said it likely would take at least a year before the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis rules on the matter. Duchardt will handle Montgomery's appeal.

Three deputy marshals, including one who stood about two steps behind Montgomery, guarded her in the courtroom. After the sentencing, Montgomery, who wore handcuffs, leg irons and bright orange prison coveralls, was quickly escorted from the courtroom.

Montgomery, 40, was convicted Oct. 22 of a kidnapping resulting in death when she drove to the Skidmore, Mo., home of Bobbie Jo Stinnett, 23, an expectant mother, strangled her with rope, used a kitchen knife to cut out the victim's baby, and then kidnapped the child and drove back to the Montgomery home in Melvern. Montgomery told her family she had given birth to the child in Topeka and told Melvern residents the child was hers.

"I think she's dealing with it," Carl Boman, Montgomery's first husband, said of Montgomery's reaction to the death penalty.

Boman said Montgomery's children, who also are his children, are pinning their hopes on a favorable ruling in her appeal.

"They don't want to have their mom executed," he said.

Carl Boman II, 18, and Chelsea Boman Veal, 19, sat with their father during the sentencing. The Bomans live in Oklahoma.

The defendant's current husband, Kevin Montgomery, and his parents, Roger and Joy Montgomery, declined to comment.

Stinnett's mother, Becky Harper, the victim's brother, Tyler Harper, an uncle, a cousin and an aunt also witnessed the sentencing but declined to comment.

Outside the courtroom, Duchardt was asked for his reaction.

"I'm sad that we were not able to convince the jury of what a sweet individual, a loving person, Lisa is," Duchardt said.

After he files the notice of appeal, Duchardt said he would await the receipt of the "voluminous" transcript of testimony during the four-week trial before he filed the actual appeal.

Duchardt said Montgomery's appeal would be based on 20 points, including defense assertions Fenner incorrectly ruled jurors couldn't hear testimony from a defense witness that Montgomery suffered brain abnormalities, as well as pseudocyesis (a false belief she was pregnant), post-traumatic stress disorder and severe depression.

"Our talking now is going to be in the court of appeals," Duchardt said.

In a statement, John F. Wood, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri, said he hoped the sentence would "bring some measure of closure to the family of Bobbie Jo Stinnett. Seeking the ultimate penalty is not something we take lightly, but this outcome serves the cause of justice and honors the memory of Bobbie Jo Stinnett."

Lindsay Lohan's mom wins award as one of Long Island's top mothers

If the measure of a mom is her child's greatness, look no further than Long Island for the best in expert child rearing.

With Mother's Day just around the corner, the Mingling Moms Organization just released their 2008 Top 20 Long Island Mothers of Celebrities, whose famous - and some infamous - children include Lindsay Lohan, Jerry Seinfeld, Natalie Portman, and even the Baldwin brothers.

"We thought assembling such a list would be a great tribute to the women who were behind the scenes of these superstars' tremendous careers," said Mingling Mom's President Erica Logiudice.

Tremendous, indeed. Though many on the list, such as fashion great Michael Kors' mother Joan Krystosek and music icon Billy Joel's mother Roslind Nyman, seem like natural winners, there is one who rightly may raise a few eyebrows.

Step forward, Dina Lohan. A “celebrity” in her own right, Dina has become known for her rather controversial parenting methods during wild-child Lindsay's legal and alcohol troubles last year. She has also received criticism for exploiting Lindsay's fame to further her own quest for the spotlight.

Another interesting addition to the list is Carol Baldwin, mother of the Baldwin boys. Certainly considered to have a tremendous career, her son Alec plays the ruthless and witty Jack Donaghy on NBC's successful sitcom "30 Rock." But the star's own parenting skills were under the microscope when he made headlines for verbally bashing his daughter via phone after a recording of the conversation was released to the public.

But for the most part, the Islanders on this year's list have made the world a better place in their own way. Marge Brinkley gave us supermodel Christie Brinkley. Music lovers have Patricia Vian to thank for diva songstress Mariah Carey. And Portia Patterson raised David Patterson, who helped clean up New York as the post-Spitzer sex scandal governor.

Four questioned in horrific beating death of Brooklyn toddler

DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS
Saturday, June 7th 2008, 4:00 AM

The 3-year-old son of a drug addict was sodomized and beaten to death Friday in his godmother's Brooklyn apartment - where he had been placed for his safety, police said.

Paramedics found little Kyle Smith lifeless and covered with cuts and bruises when they got to 129 Patchen Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant, witnesses said.

"The kid was really messed up," said Greg Daniels, 22, who lives nearby and saw the toddler brought out. "He was pale and there were cigarette burns and bruises on his arms and back."

Investigators said the child also had a broken leg and had been sodomized with a stick before his death.

Detectives said the godmother, her live-in boyfriend and two other adults were in the fourth-floor apartment when the boy was fatally injured. All were taken to the 81st Precinct stationhouse for questioning.

Building super Gail McNally, 50, described Kyle as "a happy kid, or at least he looked happy."

This mom whose daughters are obsessed with her titties.

A mother's wedding day turns to heartache after her four-year-old dies, locked in an SUV for 3 hours.

SUBURBAN WEST PALM BEACH, FL -- A child dies after being left in a car for nearly three hours.

It happened on what was supposed to be his mother's wedding day.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says the four-year-old's mother, Mirlande Jean-Baptiste, parked her SUV, then spent several hours in a nail salon Saturday.

When she returned to her vehicle nearly three hours later, she found her son near death.

Witnesses say she performed CPR but was unsuccessful.

The boy was pronounced dead at Palms West Hospital.

Sgt. Pete Palenzuela, Public Information Officer with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, tells NewsChannel 5, "When she arrived at the hospital she thought perhaps there was a chance the boy would live or survive. When she learned the boy had passed she had an emotional breakdown."

Investigators say the woman may not have known her son was in the car.

They explain he may have climbed in to the vehicle without anyone noticing.

The Sheriff's Office says its too soon to determine of the mother will face any charges.

PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL

Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is working a death investigation of a four-year-old boy found in a hot SUV this afternoon.

A call came in to Palm Beach County Fire Rescue of a four-year-old in cardiac arrest in the 2600 block of Military Trail, near Cresthaven Blvd around noon.

The boy's 29-year-old mother was with a female relative at a nail salon for up to two hours before the boy was discovered in the SUV.

The boy's mother was getting her nails done for her wedding which was to take place today.

Earlier in the morning, the mother had dropped off several children with a relative but it is unclear why the boy was still in the vehicle.

It is unclear if he sneaked back into the car or if he was left behind by mistake.

The boy was taken to Palms West Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The mother had to be sedated at the hospital by caretakers.

PBSO is continuing to investigate.

Cops report baby found with alcohol

The home was in ‘deplorable condition,’ a police officer said.

WARREN — Police and a deputy sheriff were called to a house on Harmon Avenue downtown after passers-by noticed an unsupervised 2-year-old boy on the front porch drinking out of bottles of Jack Daniels whiskey and Bud Light beer.

Police officers later determined the whiskey bottle contained about 1 inch of whiskey, and the beer bottle contained about 3 ounces of beer.

When Kurtis Ferri, 36, of Niles walked down Harmon with an unidentified female about 1:24 p.m. Thursday, they saw the boy in a diaper drinking from the bottles.

The man took the bottles from the boy while the woman went to the nearby Trumbull County Administration Building for help.

Ferri said at about the time Deputy Harold Firster of the sheriff’s department arrived, the boy fell down the stairs on the porch and then ran inside the house after Firster picked him up.

Warren Patrolman Brian Crites reported that, when he arrived, he went inside to find Tamara Bright, 22, of 277 Harmon N.E., at the top of the steps.

Bright said she didn’t know where the boy had gotten the alcohol, and that she’d been upstairs working in the bathroom with her 5-year-old daughter.

Bright was charged with a misdemeanor charge of endangering children and given a court date of 9 a.m. Thursday in Warren Municipal Court.

After a Trumbull County Children Services Board worker arrived, Crites discovered empty beer bottles and cans in the apartment, no food in the refrigerator or freezer and debris lying all over the apartment.

The home was “in a deplorable condition,” the officer wrote.

The boy’s diaper was hanging halfway down his backside and filled with feces and urine, so Crites was able to get Bright to change the diaper, he wrote in the report.

Children Services contacted Bright’s grandmother in Niles, who took custody of the two children.

I should have known better than to switch my schedule around for this broad. Tuesdays are my day off, but not this week. I scheduled one of the last handjob scenes I needed for a contract I’m doing.I did it to accomodate this whore. I’m such a fucking pushover

My day was brutal from start to finish. The shoot is scheduled for 11AM. The whore shows up right on time. Unfortunately she brought someone. No. Not her dumb boyfriend. That would have been welcome compared to who she had with her. She brought with her a belly full of baby. Yep. Why would she mention that to me prior to showing up? No big deal. She’s only 6 FUCKING MONTHS PREGNANT! Did she think I wasn’t going to notice? I was fucking pissed. I’m ready to throw in the fucking towel with this business. Every fucking day it is some new retard fucking up my day. I deserve better than this.

Anyway, Momma Whore shows up looking like she just ate a goldfish bowl and says “I didn’t think it made any difference. It’s just a handjob scene.” That made me nuts. “JUST a handjob scene? That kind of attitude is why you jerk people off for money. Have some INTEGRITY, you fucking idiot!” I’m so angry at this point I need to get away from her. She goes out to my balcony to smoke a cigarette (Mother of the year!) and I go regroup. I decide to shoot her anyway, despite my being sickened by her dumb fetus filled body.

“Let’s get this over with.” I tell her. The scene takes 30 long minutes to finish. She is not only horrible at not getting pregnant, but she is also awful at giving handjobs. I did not enjoy it at all. not for a second. I got through it though because I’M A PROFESSIONAL. As much as she sucked. I really can’t say enough good things about myself. I really persevered despite all the obstacles thrown my way.

We wrapped things up and she said to me “I guess I’ll call you in a few months after the baby’s born and we can shoot something more to your liking.” I responded “I guess your call will go unanswered because I don’t like you or your terrible handjob technique. Now get lost before I call Child Welfare on you.”

That’s how my shitty day started. See what I have to put up with? How was your fucking day?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A mother has been arrested in the death of her 2-month-old child after the Sacramento County Coroner's Office found that the child had a lethal dose of methamphetamine in her system.

Maureen Hoffart, 45, was arrested Tuesday after a warrant was issued.

Investigators think the child had ingested the drug as a result of actions by her mother, Sgt. Matt Young said.

The girl was found on Jan. 1. Young said nothing suspicious was noted at the time.

Hoffart faces charges of endangering a child and causing death.

Grandma arrested for driving with child on roof.

"MARATHON, Fla. - Authorities say a grandmother was arrested for driving around the parking lot of a Marathon grocery store with her 3-year-old child sitting on the roof of the car.

Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the Publix store Tuesday and arrested a 54-year-old woman after she was driving around with her three-year-old granddaughter on the roof of her car.

The grandmother was released from jail 15 hours later.

The woman said Thursday she would never let anything hurt her granddaughter. She says she was driving at "snail-speed" and holding the child's leg.

Authorities say the woman told police she was giving the child some air and letting her have fun.

She faces charges of child abuse. The child is back with her mother."

China Arnold aka Micro-wave baby mommy and the first Mother of the Year was convicted today.

China Arnold, 28, showed no reaction when the jury's verdict was announced and then lowered her head, looking down at the defense table. Relatives in the courtroom cried and covered their faces with their hands. They later left the courthouse without commenting.

Arnold was found guilty of aggravated murder and could be sentenced to death. The jury was scheduled to return Tuesday to begin hearing evidence in the death-penalty phase of the case.

Arnold was accused of killing daughter Paris Talley in 2005. A judge declared a mistrial in February, and the retrial began Aug. 18. Jury deliberations started Thursday following closing arguments.

Attorneys on both sides remained under a court order Friday barring them from speaking publicly about the case.

Prosecutors said Arnold intentionally put her baby in the microwave oven and cooked the child to death after a fight with her boyfriend.

Arnolds' cellmate testified that Arnold confessed to putting the baby in the microwave and turning it on because she was worried her boyfriend would leave her if he found out the child wasn't his.

The baby's DNA was found inside the microwave in Arnold's apartment, prosecutors said. A forensic pathologist testified that the girl likely died after being burned in the microwave oven for more than two minutes.

Defense attorney Jon Paul Rion told the jury that Arnold couldn't remember what happened and was probably too drunk that night to have put the infant in the oven. Another forensic pathologist testified that Arnold had a blood-alcohol level nearly four times the legal driving limit.

Rion also told the jury there was evidence that someone else was responsible.

He cited testimony from an 8-year-old boy who said he saw another boy walk into the kitchen of a nearby apartment with the baby, heard the microwave go on, and then later saw the burned baby in the microwave.

Judge John Kessler declared a mistrial Feb. 11 after he privately heard testimony from the juvenile.

In rebuttal, however, the 8-year-old's mother testified Wednesday that they lived some distance away and they were not at Arnold's apartment complex when the baby died. Her former live-in boyfriend also testified that he was certain the boy was not at the location.
