A 28-year-old woman and her boyfriend have been charged with second-degree murder after the woman’s emaciated 2-year-old daughter died in a broken crib surrounded by insects and rotting garbage.
The Clark County coroner determined Adacelli Snyder died of cachexia, or general wasting away due to malnutrition and neglect. She weighed just 11 pounds when she died June 29.
Adacelli, who was born with cerebral palsy, was found in her crib with soiled blankets, head lice, insect bites and wounds caused by severe diaper rash, police said. Her bedroom, which she shared with two sisters, was filled with garbage, feces, roaches and flies.
The family was reported to Clark County Child Protective Services twice in July 2003. The complaints resulted in the opening of a yearlong, home-monitoring case with the family.
Officials said the agency did all it could for the family during that year. The case was closed in June 2004.
Police say their investigation into Adacelli’s death revealed several recent reports made to the agency about the family.

You know more and more of these case involve "special needs" children.

But considring the condition of this home, it was abuse pure and simple.
 
The Agency may have worked with the family for a year, but they should have known it wasn't working! How can they just close the case?

Honey I am yelling right along there with you. This is rediculous I can't believe they actually closed the case and no one from the services is going to face disiplinary action. My heart breaks for this baby. All you can say is WHY?? Where the other two children fed while this baby went without? There is no mention of their conditions. Sick
 
I think the link said something stupid like they had no jurisdiction or something after a year, but I would think that statute wouldn't begin until the family was out of risk. That clearly never happened. I would think that after every "home visit," if something wasn't right, that started the whole thing up again. Perhaps that makes too much sense.

Jeana,
That's exactly what I was wondering.

January 2007

During her court appearance Charlene said:

"I didn't know how to take care of a special needs child. I'm sorry, that's all I can say. Please give me mercy."

Where was her mercy for Adacelli and what is her excuse for not taking care of her other children? Making them live the way they did? Luckily, Judge David Wall didn't buy her story and said the following:

"I'm going to sentence you to life in prison with a possibility of parole after 10 years has been served."

snip

Jack Richardson's attorney, Public Defender Timoth O'Brian asked Judge Wall to choose a lesser sentence for him, asking for 10 to 25 years stating:

"This was a case of not knowing any better"

How could ANYONE with a conscience NOT know that this little girl was being abused and her treatment was wrong? Jack's attorney tried to say that he was abused as a child and was thrown away as a very small child. He also said:

"This is a guy who was doing the best he could with what he had,"

snip

Jack Richardson didn't say a word as Judge Wall imposed his sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole after ten years. The Judge added:

"My hope is that Adacelli had no recognition of what was happening to her,"

What goes through the minds of the judges who impose such a ridiculous sentence for the suffering and murder of a beautiful child?

Many more details at link, plus info. on the beautiful memorial bench and marker that was done for her by someone who cared:

"The home's shower had cobwebs in it, the sinks were full of debris and dirty dishes, and the home's toilet was filthy and inoperable. Charlene Snyder pointed to bottles she said she fed the babies with, but they were moldy."

What?! Then I found this!

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/jan/15/court-overturns-conviction-2005-child-neglect-case/

"In a 2-1 decision, the Nevada Supreme Court has voided the second-degree murder conviction of Charlene Snyder in a highly publicized child neglect case in Las Vegas."

"Snyder, now 32, will return to district court in Las Vegas for new proceedings."

They didn't get a psychiatric consultation for her at the time even though she had a history of mental health issues. Bah. I read some other articles that claimed the couple spent the children's disability checks on gambling. Not sure if this is true or not as the sites that claimed this were anti-gambling and I can't find the original article.
 
well im really ecstatic the NSC has overturned the sentence for this baby killer <sarcasm> yet they made a ruling on my case based on bogus information and were too stupid to research the case they were ruling on to know the prosecutions theory of her 'confession' doesnt come close to matching reailty.
 
Thanks BuzzieCat - I totally missed the appeal. Let me see if I can get a date for retrial. And, of course she's nuts, they're all nuts. You have to be nuts to do the things that people do to their children. However, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be in jail, IMO.
 
Mr. Moreo stated Defendant is at the Nevada Department of Corrections, the
Supreme Court has ordered a reversal and remand, but the remittitur has not
been sent; the State has moved for a rehearing and this Court does not have
jurisdiction. Mr. Jackson agreed. COURT ORDERED, matter OFF CALENDAR.

Trying to figure out who has jurisdiction now. District Court closed the case on 2/12/2010.
