FL- MOM CONVICTED OF TRYING TO SMOTHER 3 MONTH OLD SON BY PUTTING RAG CLOTH OVER HIS MOUTH AT HOSPITAL – NOW ADMITS SHE SMOTHERED GIRL, 2, SO NAVY WOULD SEND HER HUSBAND HOME, REPORTEDLY! Amanda Ann Butler, 29, Cheyenne Butler, 2, Ryley Butler, 3 months old After Cheyenne’s death Amanda Ann Butler moved to West Virginia. Under plea deal, she faces 45 years for Cheyenne’s death. It’s suspected she has Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. That’s where parents harm their own children for attention.

Butler gave birth to a son, Ryley, after Cheyenne’s death and moved to West Virginia in 2003. She began taking the newborn to doctors and hospitals, complaining of seizures. That prompted the Cabell County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office to get a court order allowing investigators to secretly videotape Butler and her son in a hospital room at Cabell Huntington Hospital.
Butler was caught on tape placing a washcloth or rag over her 3-month-old son’s mouth and nose for 42 seconds.

NJ- SURROGATE MOM GAVE BIRTH TO TWINS FOR HER BROTHER & HIS PARTNER, SUES – JUDGE RULES SHE’S CHILDREN’S LEGAL MOM EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS NO GENETIC CONNECTION TO THEM! Angelia Robinson, surrogate, Donald Robison Hollingsworth – brother, Sean Hollingsworth – bio dad, Judge Francis Schultz

The babies were conceived in a lab using eggs from an anonymous donor and sperm from Sean Hollingsworth, the partner of Robinson’s brother, Donald Robinson Hollingsworth….The judge relied heavily on the New Jersey Supreme Court’s 1988 ruling in the famous Baby M case.

This woman is nothing but a kidnapper! She has no biological connection to the children but just because she was the garage that they were stored in for 9 months she wants to play mommy? She’s a kidnapper that betrayed her own brother and that Judge Francis Schultz is obviously a h.omophobic bigot that probably doesn’t want to see two men raising the kids. I hope the bio dad sues the judge and the kidnapper. This is a miscarriage of justice and unfortunately when society legalizes discrimination against g.ays in the form of denying them same sex marriage, adoptions etc. bigot judges like Justice Francis Schultz feel more empowered.

NOT CHILD ABUSE BUT NOTABLE:

NATIONAL – “FULL BODY SCANNERS TO FRY TRAVELERS WITH RADIATION”! The ACLU is objecting to these scanners for privacy reasons but nobody is making mention of the fact that they could be dangerous. These machines don’t just magically show pictures of your body – they’re going to fry the hell out of your cells to come up with those images. So we can either be blown up or die slowly of cancer!

Officials must naturally defend compulsory passenger X-rays as harmless. But they are signing no guarantees because ionizing radiation in the X-ray spectrum damages and mutates both chromosomal DNA and structural proteins in human cells. If this damage is not repaired, it can lead to cancer. New research shows that even very low doses of X-ray can delay or prevent cellular repair of damaged DNA, raising questions about the safety of routine medical X-rays. Unborn babies can become grotesquely disfigured if their mothers are irradiated during pregnancy. Heavily X- rayed persons of childbearing age can sustain chromosomal damage, endangering offspring. Radiation damage is cumulative and each successive dose builds upon the cellular mutation caused by the last. It can take years for radiation damage to manifest pathology.
