GUILTY MI - Gabby Barrett, 4, dies of burns, Sumpter Twp, 1 Jan 2018 *B. Fields GUILTY*

[A2FMNST]

Well, this answers my question about LE not removing this sweet child after the 2016 domestic incident...

https://www.freep.com/story/news/lo...eath-4-year-old-waive-extradition/1024189001/

“ ...there were no children in the custody of Diaz and/or Fields at that time.” Gabrielle was with her grandmother at the time in another jurisdiction and “had reportedly been for a long time.” “Our current investigation has revealed that the victim just recently moved into the Greenmeadow Dr. residence (late summer 2017) to attend school in the area,”

Good lord, Gabby was only in that home about 4 months.
:tears::tears::tears:

I don’t think child abuse reports are shared with other places, are they?

Hi human, not sure what you are asking.

I took a journey down the rabbit hole with these fb accounts last night. I was looking at some of the uterus/bf fb “friends”.

There were two reoccurring themes;

1. Drugs, specifically cocaine
2. Violence

So sad...

Heard this report on WWJ radio (CBS, Detroit) while I was out in the car.

Sumpter Township Police Chief Speaking Out About Case Of Murdered 4-Year-Old Girl

SUMPTER TWP. (WWJ) – The police chief of Sumpter Township is defending his department in the case of a 4-year-old girl who was murdered, allegedly by her mother and her mother’s boyfriend.

Chief Eric Luke has confirmed reports that when police were called to the couple’s residence about a domestic assault two years ago, officers found a filthy home full of drugs and weapons.

So why wasn’t the child removed to safety? Reacting to reports that police dropped the ball, Chief Eric Luke spoke exclusively with WWJ Newsradio 950’s Zahra Huber...

Hi human, not sure what you are asking.

Child abuse reports. I think if you move out of the county or whatever a boundary may be called, the reports of child abuse do not follow the child.

If a parent moves somewhere with a child, how does anyone know there are reports against the adults?

I can't read about this case myself, just bits and pieces here and there and that is enough to know this is one horrible, unimaginable case. I don't know any adjectives to really describe it. I do hope these two receive the maximum penalty and really, truly, hope that while they're in prison they get clean and mentally fit so they can fully realize EXACTLY what they did to this poor baby for the rest of their sorry lives. No "pooh pooh" counseling that tells them..I can't even finish my thoughts because I become soooo angry and heartbroken. moo

It is easy for us who work for Children's Division or who are contracted through Children's Division to do background checks through the state database, FACES. This records any previous contact with CD, and any POE's that may have been issued, which prevents an adult from being in contact with or in custody of children. It gets more difficult for a nationwide search, but such searches are possible and do take place when an adult has a current case with us or lives in the household and is known to have lived in another state, we simply reach out to agencies from the states where the person has lived, and ask for all reports pertaining to that person to be forwarded to us. This can take a day or 2, where as the statewide search takes seconds. I live in Missouri, and am a contracted worker through Children's Division, and that's how we do things here.

Thank you for the insight, MSC. It's appreciated.

You should become verified in your profession

I'm glad they are now caught. I really am sick to the stomach on this case.
I'm sorry but there is NO excuse I would have as a mum for subjecting another human being to these things.
Even mental illness does not give me any sympathy and I really feel for people who are mentally ill. The lies they are telling about gabby wanting another bath after being scalded, she must think every one is as brainless as her.
That is not even taking into account all the bruises on the poor baby.
I agree with the poster up thread regarding DV. I think as long as the women,/men who are being abused do not get punished when they allow a child to be injured, nothing is going to change.
You would think they would not put their children at risk if they were to get the same punishment at the one doing the actual harm.
Maybe it would work on parents who want to do drugs or have random people around their children.
There is got to be something to stop women/men putting their children at risk.
I don't think this is the case here. I think there have both hurt this baby.
Sorry for ranting, its just my thoughts and opinions.

No need to apologize bleuboy. The anger is shared.

I will have been at WS, as a member, for two years this year but I have been reading here before signing up for much longer and this has confirmed to me that these cases will never stop coming in. There will be thread after thread after thread. It's devastating.

 

[southernmimi]

Harsher and swifter punishment would be a deterrent. At this point, I'm not opposed to bringing back public hangings.

 

[Bravo]

I still don't understand how this was not noticed. Article upthread speaks to injuries sustained at different ages. Was she bounced back to Momster from Grandma over the years? Yet nobody noticed any injuries or signs of pain with little Gabby? Disgusted!

I also read threads before I actually signed up. I feel like I just have to read them until the end so that I can see justice done. You are right I think, this will never stop happening and that's very sad for everyone. Xxxxx

Someone probably answered this already, but CPS reports don't follow. When I was teaching, I'd see families disappear overnight after a report was made. I even had at least one parent tell me he was just gonna move one state over. It's absurd that there isn't a nationwide system.

 

[bluedivergirl]

To the best of my knowledge, they are not. You can move one county over, and you have a clean slate.

I don't know how to address it, but it needs to change.

This gets to me because my DH was burned @ age 12. He was charged with burning the dump pile ~ this was 50+ years ago ~ and he was using gas in a grain shovel to ignite it. It splashed back on his jeans, and he caught fire. He wasn't taken to the Dr until the men came home from the fields.

He cannot watch a burn victim on TV.

The fact that this woman was burned and then inflicted or allowed it to be inflicted on her daughter. My God. My God.

 

[MsMarple]

A Sumpter Township mother charged with the murder of her 4-year-old daughter, who was severely burned, suffered serious burns herself as a child, a court record obtained by the Free Press on Friday shows.

Candice Diaz, now 24, was injured in a house fire that happened when her biological mother left Diaz with her alcoholic grandmother, the record filed in 2004 reveals.

“The mother and a grandmother had been jailed because of injuries that occurred,” the document said.

It didn’t say when the fire occurred or where, but documents in the Wayne County Circuit Court file show the parental rights of Diaz’s mother and father were later terminated.
...
Speer said Diaz was adopted by a relative, who provided for her and gave her a stable home. She said she can’t see hurting a child for something a person experienced in the past.

“We’ve all been through ****,” Speer said. “It’s no excuse.”

Records show when Diaz was a kid, her biological mother, Roina Diaz, and biological father, Timothy Mullins, were incarcerated in Kentucky during child protective proceedings held at the Lincoln Hall of Justice in Detroit in 2003.

Diaz’s father withdrew objections to contest Diaz’s adoption and her mother had little contact with the girl for two years prior to an adoption petition being filed, a document said. Both parents were accused of failing to support the child.

More at the link. I had to cut the quotes short because of copyright.

I have little sympathy for Diaz - her own abuse does not buy her the right to abuse her children. But it's sad to see abuse passed down from generation to generation; some people get through it and become stronger while others use it as a reason for hurting their own children.

We can make a nationwide database for a drivers license (actually 44 states and DC), but nothing to protect our precious children?

Its shocking isn't it.
