GUILTY NC - Jordyn Dumont, 3, Gaston County, 15 Aug 2016 *Arrest*

[GeeEm]

Is there a 3rd sister? I thought it was just Jordyn and Angel?

I have only heard of two girls, in the MSM and the news.

If there is a third child, I am not aware of this.

Thanks ~

No 3rd sister -- I guess I'm getting tired, too -- I was thinking of Jordyn & Angel staying together...

Please pardon. My head is wobbly...

No worries, you just had me confused for a minute. Poor Angel will forever miss her sister. I hope she is placed in a safe and happy home and she remembers no trauma from this terrible time.

A look at child deaths in Gaston County when DHHS has had contact with the family/child. As in previous articles, they mention that there will be a Child Fatality Task Force to investigate the circumstances surrounding Jordyn's death. They also detail the findings from the CFTF which investigated the death of another Gaston County child, poor little Addison Lanham. That was one of the absolute worst, most despicable, heartbreaking cases of abuse I've ever heard about.

I find the time for completing these reports completely unacceptable. We are talking YEARS here. NO excuse for that.



I imagine it will be quite a while before Jordyn's case is taken up by the CFTF, and years before we learn anything.

I knew I should not have read that Gazette article -- now I just want to go and beat somebody's head in.... (and I am the biggest pacifist and wimp who ever walked). Dayam, this stuff just astounds me -- when we see these children, time after time after time after time -- and we agree that case workers for Child Services are over-loaded & on & on without end. And we hear them say that a thorough review will be done and changes will be made. Dammit. The miracles we also know as children are essentially just thrown out the windows and forgotten. And wailing and carrying-on won't bring 'em back ever, ever, ever. I guess this must be just the way the real world is....

And Heaven has way too many little angels up there. Way too many.

Oh, just let me stop. Just dammit.

Should the other child(ren) 's name(s) be redacted?

Sorry for the inconsistency. I did redact it before. Everyone who doesn't know the sister's name has been calling Jordyn "angel" anyway which makes it confusing.
I don't know which last name she has so maybe it's okay if we didn't type the whole name? If not, a mod will be along to edit or delete the posts. I won't give her name again.
Sorry.

Jordyn's public memorial service will be Saturday: http://www.fox46charlotte.com/news/local-news/195956734-story

I think Fox46 Charlotte news got it wrong though about it being a viewing though. They were planning to have Jordyn cremated. Viewing was yesterday for the families only.

The tears of Jordyn Ann Dumont’s mother and father fell to the ground as they watched balloons ascend for their daughter.

An urn containing the 3-year-old’s remains rested on a table flanked by photographs as Lindsay prayed for Jordyn, friends and family. He told mourners he believed Jordyn is now in the presence of the Lord, and in a place where there is no pain and no suffering.

**Where were the tears of Jordyn's mother when she was being abused by her boyfriend?
**Why didn't she get Jordyn out?
**It's too late now, Jordyn's mother will never see her in pain EVER!

Is there an update on this case?

 

[Gardener1850]

Today would have been Jordyn's 4th birthday. RIP little girl.

Gaston County Officials are pushing to proclaim a "Jordyn Dumont Day" to celebrate her life. http://www.twcnews.com/nc/charlotte/news/2016/09/6/proclamation-for-jordan-dumont-day.html

Jordyn's mother breaks her silence with an interview: http://www.gastongazette.com/news/2...k-about-jordyn-and-man-accused-of-killing-her

I, for one, feel for her and think its wrong for her baby to be in foster care (it should be with her or family.) The only person responsible for WM's actions is WM.

 

[jiminy]

I do feel for her. To have one child murdered and to lose custody of your other child all in the space of a day is beyond comprehension. However, in a vast generalisation, I feel like social services don't usually over-react and remove kids unneccessarily. We hear so many stories where it's unbelievable that social services HAVEN'T removed kids despite receiving multiple reports. So I'm trusting they have good reason to have kept the baby so long.

In saying this I'm not casting aspersions on her mother at all. It could well be, for example, that her mental health is suffering and she's living in temporary accommodation with little support and so isn't in a position to care for her baby right now.

MOO

Hmmm....The police advised Jordyn's mom not to talk to the press. Then she finally gives an interview. Now they issue a gag order. Interesting.

 

[tlcya]

The gag order is interesting to me. I don't believe that mom is bound by the order because she is not technically a party.

Why gag officials now when DHHS, LE, and prosecutors have already been so vocal and released so much? Isn't that a bit like trying to put the toothpaste back into the tube?

 

[DatelineFan]

Could the gag order to protect new (or possibly, old) information regarding her remaining minor child? I could see the state wanting to give the other child some privacy.

Locals there are up in arms and want DHHS to be investigated. There was another child who died in 2011--Addison Lanham:

A local Child Fatality Task Force assembled to look into Addison's death found several places where the little girl fell through the cracks in the system.

Another Child Fatality Task Force will assemble to look into Jordyn's death, said Chris Dobbins, director of Gaston County's Department of Health and Human Services.

On Monday, Rep. John Torbett said an outside agency needs to look into Jordyn's death. "I am not suggesting there was wrongdoing, but by so many red flags as reported I believe the process failed and we need fresh eyes looking at the process," Torbett said in a text message. "Those eyes should not be members of the department involved."

Read much more about Addison's case here: http://www.gastongazette.com/news/2...addison-didnt-have-to-die-link-to-full-report

IMO, the department is doing damage control and trying to keep this story out of the press.
