i reread the story and this is what i got. the 16yr old boy went to his 22yr old sisters room. the 1 year old and the 2 year old must have been in the same room with the 22 year old. he stabbed and hit his sister with a hammer before he raped her. then he hit the 2yr old when it cried. this would have been early monday morning. he then locked the room with both babies and his dead or dying sister in it. the hammer and knife seem to have be brought to the room to attack the 22yr old and he used the hammer on the baby only when it cried.He may be all messed up but what 16 year old doesn't know they are raping someone; especially his own sister..I'm ooged out about that. Then to hit a baby with a sledgehammer; wouldn't he have to go to the garage or something to get a sledgehammer? It wouldn't be just sitting there in the house I wouldn't think-sounds premeditated to me.

a few things strike me as strange.
1. the door had a pad lock on the out side.
2. nobody missed the 22year old or either baby til afternoon.
3. the 2year old was hit hard enough to break her nose and fracture her skull but was able to clearly lie about the event and blame a fuse box the family claims.
4. blood. he told police he stabbed her before he raped her. no matter how crazy he was he seemed to know to lock the door and clean all the blood off him so that the rest the family did not seem alarmed.
5. the mother claims her son did not do it and remembers nothing. yet he was the 1 who went into the room with the dead bloodied body to get the baby and he raised no alarm.
6. the mother ignores the fact he relocked the door after he got the baby out because when police arrived it was again locked.
7. once the child was found hurt nobody in the family looked for the 22yr old who shared a room with this baby.

who is "her" ? was the mother i bolded the mother of the 2 year old or the mother of the dead 22 year old?Sheriff Howard Smith said the victim was baby-sitting the children, who were her cousins.
The suspect let the children out of the locked room about 12 hours later after they started crying again, which is when her mother noticed she was bleeding.
The one-year-old was not injured.
ok this case has been on my mind all day. the pad lock on the outside of the door is bugging me alot. i have spoke before about being a victim of sex abuse but i have not spoke of other family members because it is not my story to tell. i can speak of event but not the emotion behind them and to me that is as important as the abuse its self. i only bring it up now because it factors greatly on my gut feelings about this case. i want you guys to tell me if my past experience in my family is causing me to lose my objectivity.
when i was 10 til i was 12 my cousins lived with us. cps had taken them from their mother because of abuse. she was a addict and allowed men to abuse the kids in exchange for drugs. the kids were a boy age 9, a girl age 4 and a girl age 2 when they first moved into our home. 1 week after the kids moved in i woke to my mother screaming. my bed room was right off the living room and my mother woke because she heard someone moving around in the house. i ran in the living room and saw both the 9 and 4 year old naked. the girl was on the couch with her brother on top of her. my mother saw me and screamed for me to go back in my room about the same time my father came running in the room. the next day my parents put a padlock on the outside of the girls bedroom door. why they locked the girls in the room instead of him i dont know.
this case makes me wonder if the lock on the outside was to protect those inside and he just got the key.
That's HORRIBLE. Am I reading right? The rest of the family was in the house?!
Oh man, this snapped big time. I hope he is tried as an adult and gets the d/p. Nothing out yet about what led up to this horrible attack?
There is a video on the WUSA9 website. I found it under most popular videos (in case it gets moved).

in a effort to be brief and not hijack the thread ... the had therapy once a week when they lived with us and the case worker said it would continue when they moved on to other family members. the oldest killed himself at 18 on Christmas eve. the middle girl is in prison for assault. stabbed her boyfriend in the thigh with a fork. the youngest is in college on a full scholarship and doing well.Good scenerio but why the lock on the outside and not on the inside. I wonder if this was her regular room or maybe she was just in there for the night. So sorry to hear about your family. Whatever happened to your cousins, did they get help? I hope so.
