Wow
Out on $5,000 from $250,000, $500.00 to get out, and visitation rights. I don't know about you people, but someone must have gave the Police some good information! Could you imagine the Grand parents looking at this man that thrashed their Grandson and looking at their own flesh and blood in cast, and in severe pain! I would end up in jail and I know my bail would be the more then his bail is. Bartletts bail is the same bail as if someone was arrested for disorderly conduct, you know raising their voice. Judge states he was Ill prepaired, oh I don't know any parents that had a baby with instructions attached to it. "

" it is almost like most of you want something to happen to this mother. why would you want this baby to have no parents? apparently the mother is innocent if she has full custody of the baby.

" I am a 20 year old father i guess you can say i am a kid with a kid. age doesnt matter its the type ofcommitment you have towards your children. i love my kids i would never do anything to hurt them. i get up with my children everytime they wake up. how can you say that kids get more attached to the mother? you must be a single mom. and it is very possible that the mother didnt hear david i can ask my wife for something when i am up with the children and she sleeps right through it. there should be no accusing all it says about the mother is that she was sleeping nowhere did it say that she slept through it.

" this situation has nothing to do with the age of the parents. i am 19 and my son is my life. you guys should listen to "YOUNG MOTHER" after reading all of the comments you are all really playing detective. it is like you want the worst to happen so you have something to gossip about. I wish you would all stop talking about kids having kids because last time i checked there was no age requirement. "




YOUNG MOTHER wrote on Apr 15, 2008 11:09 PM:

" thank you "what"
you are the first person to actually be concerned for this family. I am a proud YOUNG mother who takes very good care of my children and i will prove all of you wrong when you make your statements each and every day. this had nothing to do with the mother or fathers age. like i said before old parents hurt their children too.

Oh alright I'll put it this way so it can be published. Did anyone know if Richard may have been a wanna be rap artist ? , and fabricated a sound proof booth in his garage? is this possible ? hmmmm. I'm sure the prosecuters and maybe even the LHPD may take this in consideration and have this in evidence if this just could be factual. Or maybe just maybe someone saw a item to this effect at the curb for garbage pick up. Well if this may have happened and I para phrase, may have happened, and this is alleged, do you think the mother could have heard baby David's distress cry's? "

" shhhh- I am a mother..I have 2 sons and i was very much an adult when i had my sons..I have an infant at home right now and to this day my spouse on occasion will due baby duty at least once a week so that i can get much needed rest since I spend most of my days looking after our children.and I am on baby duty 6 nights a week..Don't mom's deserve a break sometimes..It has nothing to do with age..as you can see..I was not a kid having kids..Sometimes a dad needs to learn how to comfort his child and get used to his child and take are of his child..People complain fathers don't do enough these days..They aren't around..Yet someone like you says a child just needs his mom..

Oh folks, all of the above comments are obviously ignorant to the facts of this case. What I know as a fact, is this. Richard was a wanna be Rap artist and had a very very good self made sound proof booth to rap loud in. So folks you tell me is it posssible that he took the baby in the sound proof booth for five hours, well let me assure you with out a dout, you wouldn't hear a baby in distress ! "




What? wrote on Apr 15, 2008 3:07 PM:

" I have read everyone's comments and I just wanted to say that not all young parents are bad ones. I am 18 years old and I have a baby and my life revolves around her every need. Being a good or bad parent depends on the individual, not their age. I would appreciate it if all of you who made a comment about "kids having kids" think about it next time before saying that all young parents are bad ones. More importantly though, an innocent baby was hurt and that's what everyone should be focused on not placing blame. In my opinion, if you aren't closely involved then it is none of your business what exactly happened that night because I'm sure it will be taken care of.

To David and his family: You are all in my prayers and I hope everything works out for you. Good Luck. "

" ok shhhh
you just crossed the line i am 20 years old you would classify me as a kid. well i have 2 kids of my own. so what youre saying is young energetic parents would not get up with their child and old worn out parents would? NOBODY SAID THAT THE MOTHER WASNT THERE WITH HER CHILD TRYING TO CALM HIM. HOW DO YOU THINK HE GOT TO THE HOSPITAL?
ha give me a break. "

I dont care if my husband is trying to make baby stop crying if he doesnt stop i will be right there trying my self babies get use to moms more than dads, so sometimes they just need their mom.

IF YOU GUYS ARE ALL SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE BABY WHY HAS HE HARDLY BEEN MENTIONED BY ANY OF YOU.

I DONT THINK THAT ONE TIME I HAVE HEARD ANY OF YOU ASK (LIKE A CONCERNED PERSON WOULD)DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW THE BABY IS, IS THE BABY OK? NOPE NONE OF YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE BABY YOU ARE TOO BUSY WITH YOUR ASSUMPTIONS. "

BASICALLY TO SUM IT UP FOR ALL OF YOU A BABY WAS HURT,THE FATHER ADMITTED TO IT, THE MOTHER IS INNOCENT, THE FATHER PLEADS NOT GUILTY JUST FOR THE MAIN REASON THAT HE HAS "RIGHTS" AND GETS TO REQUEST THINGS LIKE I DONT KNOW A SMALLER BAIL!

" This article sates that the baby was taken to the hospital at 7 a.m. Young mother. One time you stated that the mother woke up and saw the obvious injury and took him right to the hospital, then you stated that the mother was feeding the baby and couldn't figure out why he kept crying so the father told her, the babys leg popped out; then you say they are not together, but obviously they were in the same house. Then you say, Richard put up a fight and didn't want to take the baby to the hospital, so it took longer. WHICH IS IT?? YOU are the one that doesn't have the facts straight! The mother should have taken the baby to the hospital right away, but for some reason, she didn't and the baby suffered. That is all we care about, the poor baby. 7 weeks old. What a shame to have to live like that! "

YOUNG MOTHER wrote on Apr 14, 2008 1:06 PM:

" TO "BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE"
FIRST OF ALL THEY WERE BROKEN UP AND LIVING IN THE SAME HOUSE, THE ROUTINE CONTINUED THE BABY WAS IN THE HOSPITAL AT 4 AM. NOT ALL BABIES WAKE UP EVERY 3-4 HRS MY DAUGHTER HAS SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT SINCE SHE CAME HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL. I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU HEARD THAT THE BABY IS LIVING WITH GRANDPARENTS HE WAS AT MY HOUSE YESTERDAY WITH HIS MOTHER WHO HAS FULL CUSTODY OF HIM.AND THEY ARE THE GREAT GRANDPARENTS AND THE MOTHER AND THE BABY LIVE WITH HIM AND IT IS ALLOWED BY CPS OBVIOUSLY IT IS HAPPENING. THE MOTHER IS VERY GOOD WITH HIM. THE ARTICLES THAT YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE ARE READING DO NOT STATE ALL OF THE FACTS. THE BABY DID NOT CRY FOR 5 HOURS SHE WAS HOLDING HIM WHEN RICHARD WENT BACK TO BED AND HE WOULDNT EAT RICHARD CAME OUT AFTER SHE COULD NOT CALM THE BABY AND STATED THAT THE BABIES LEG "POPPED" THAT IS WHEN HER ATTENTION WENT TO THE LEG THE BABY WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL.BASICALLY IF YOU ARE GETTING ALL OF YOUR INFO FROM THESE ARTICLES I REALLY DONT BELIEVE THAT YOUR OPINION COUNTS.

Been through this before wrote on Apr 14, 2008 12:00 PM:

" "Young Mother"
Your statements contradict each other and the article. If the mother and father were broken up, then how did they have a routine of "he changes the baby and she feeds the baby" going at the time of the baby's injuries? If they were "broken up" but still living in the same house, then that statement has no point in the argument. Another point, a 7-week old baby cries to be fed every 3-4 hours on average. You are telling me that she, as the one who always feeds the baby, as you stated, did not "hear" the baby crying for food for 5 hours? You also state that she took the baby to the hospital at 7am as soon as she saw that he was hurt, then state in a later comment that they were at the hospital at 4am. Which is it? Finally, as one who has been through this very scenario with a family member, I find it hard to believe they just released the baby to the mother. Even if the father told the cops he did it, which if he is pleading not guilty, he probably didn't, CPS would not just give the child back to the mother. An investigation, which takes more time than has passed, will take place first. I heard that the baby was with his grandparents rather than his mother, which makes more sense. And before you say that the mother is living with the grandparents, that would not be allowed by CPS either in this case. The mother may have monitored visitations until the investigation is over and a decision is made, but she would not be allowed to reclaim her son straight up. "

" Young Mother~
You may want to stop posting you are not making your friend look like a better mother. I understand you are trying to defend her but you are making her out to be spineless. If that is the case then she needs to learn to stick up for herself and her child. That is our job as mothers! "

BombinMama wrote on Apr 14, 2008 10:44 AM:

" What-..If you read what I wrote- your would see that No i would have not used monitors when I left my baby in the trusted hands of daddy. As for crying for hours on end th article does not states the child did this so we do not know. However, I read the first article that stated the baby was shaken quite bit along with the broken bones. I do know in cases with shaken injuries, babies tend to become listless and quiet after their in injuries. AGAIN I will state, If I left my child in a persons hands that I felt i trusted (like i have done many nights) so that i could gets some rest, I would feel they are compentant to take care of my child crying or not. I have done it..I have fell asleep..out of sheer exhaustion..not heard the baby..Even my spouse has done it..on my nights..he has gone to sleep..I have been up all night with our kids (mostly our baby) who has cried all night long and he had not head a peep` because he was exhausted from work and knew it was me who was on baby duty...When i asked him the next morning if he heard our son..His reply was not at all..i was surpised our neighbors didn't hear the screams..its amazing what exhaustion and trust may do to you..

" THE MOTHER WAS UP WITH THE BABY AND DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG SHE HAD NO IDEA SHE FIGURED THE BABY HAD A TUMMY ACHE THEN RICHARD CAME OUT AND SAID O YA HIS LEG POPPED THAT IS WHEN SHE LOOKED AT HIS LEG AND TOOK HIM STRAIGHT TO THE HOSPITAL. THEY WERE AT THE HOSPITAL AT 4AM. TWO OF THE INJURIES WERE OLD AND THE MOTHER WAS OUT OF TOWN THE WEEK B4 SO THE BABY JUST DID THOSE TO HIMSELF RIGHT? I THINK EVERYBODY IS JUST TRYING TO PLAY "DETECTIVE" AND ASSUMING THINGS. "

" The daddy would not wake up the mommy and say he was goin hurt the baby. The baby was hurt in 3 places.The mommy would have heard the baby cries for that long. a 7 week old baby wants to be dry and his tummy full. the daddy changed the baby at 2, like he always does, then the baby din't get fed until 7. That is my question. This baby was in pain and wouldve been crying. Poor baby. You need to stand up for the baby cuz he can't do it for himself. DADDY JUST GONNA GET OUT AND THE MOMMY WILL TAKE HIM BACK. THE SAME THING GONNA HAPPEN. poor mommy? NO, POOR BABY! "

somethingstinks wrote on Apr 14, 2008 5:21 AM:

" The baby was injured at 2 and had to be crying ,in pain, until 7! I think a mother would wake up, if a child was crying that long. Even while you think your husband, or the father is caring for it. It would stand to reason, that he could not calm the baby down, so you would get up and find out what is wrong and why the baby is crying. I don't know how any one can defend this type of behavior. The baby was diapered by the father at 2, his usual duty as you say, the mother didn't feed the baby until 7. Didn't the father then do his duty and change him again at 7, before she fed him? Young mother, you might be friend or family but it is time the mother take responsability for her part. Even though it might have been, just to defend her own child. God knows the truth and hopefully the truth will prevail. "

" As a mother myself of two young boys, there have been many nights myself where daddy has taken night duty so that i could get a nights rest from playing mommy all day long. I will tell you knowing that I trusted my him and left my children in his hands, I went to bed without worries and cloncked out for the night. Exhuasted, I would not hear the kids cry, because i knew they were being taken care of. Has it been my nights i always woke up to the littlest of sounds. It was mommy radar. The point is mabe this mom put her put her faith in dad for the night to take care of baby..Mabe she needed a nights rest and she trusted him to take care of her precious cargo..When she woke the next morning she found what had happened and got help..It seems like what happened to me..

I am not the only one that read, the mother was asleep. It said this happened in the early hours and they didn't take him to the Dr until 7 am and it wasn't just the babys leg that was broke. It was also the collarbone and rib!!!! A babys leg just doesn't "pop"! YOUNG MOTHER-what did she "see" on the babys leg? So he "changed" the baby at 1/2/3 in the morning and she didn't feed him until 7? Give me a break "

THE MOTHER IS NOT TO BE BLAMED AT ALL. THIS DID NOT GO ON FOR SEVERAL HOURS SHE AND THE FATHER HAD A ROUTINE HE CHANGED THE BABY SHE FED HIM WHEN SHE WENT TO FEED HIM THE BABY KEPT CRYING SHE DID NOT KNOW WHY AS A PARENT YOU USUALLY DONT ASSUME THE FATHER JUST HURT HIM SHE DID NOT KNOW UNTIL RICHARD CAME OUT AND SAID THE BABIES LEG "POPPED" WHEN HE CHANGED HIM THAT IS WHEN SHE TOOK HIM TO THE HOSPITAL HE DID NOT WANT TO TAKE HIM. THE BABY IS IN A LOVING HOME NOW THAT THE FATHER HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM IT AND IS WHERE HE BELONGS. THE BABY LIVES WITH THE MOTHER AND SHE IS VERY GOOD WITH HIM. "




Eye for an Eye wrote on Apr 12, 2008 2:13 PM:

" Any to add to my comment...why is it that every time a crime is commited...everyone has to refer to the bible and what the bible says. Apparently the father was not living by the word of god...other wise he would not have done this. What the problem is..he did not have the proper guidence as a he was growing up..this is why he has been in and out of trouble with the law. I believe there is a god...but god cannot help those who don't want help and guidance. That is why we have people like Richard on this earth. "

" I wish there was an "Eye for an Eye" Law when it comes to child abuse. I wish we could shake that father so freaken hard till his bones break!!!!!
Anyone who purposly puts any harm to an innocent child shouldn't even get the option to plea anything but guilty. I pray this young baby survies and lives with a family who will love and charish him. "

" The mother is to blame, as well. How can you be in the same house, when your child is crying so hard from pain, and you do not hear it?? Unless you are passed out. Did she not have any signs that the father, was abusive? Has is happend before, but to a lesser extent? This time, they had no choice, but to take the poor baby to the Dr. WHY did they wait so long?She is as much to blame and I hope the child is in protective custody! "

Denise wrote on Apr 10, 2008 8:35 PM:

" Dear Concerned Christian:

I agree with you that God's word does tell us not to judge but I believe that you are taking that scripture out of context. When we judge other's we are taking on the position that we are placing ourselves in a higher position than them. God is the creator of our court system. He places Kings and Princes in their position. There is a whole book in the Bible named after Judging. If we did not have something to judge between right and wrong what kind of society we would be. It is our duty to pass judgment on someone that has committed a crime, it is called our judicial system with each jury member. Making a statement that he should be punished is not judging him, it is stating what our society believes what he did was wrong. I believe that there is more we can do than just pray. We can protect the children that cannot protect themselves by passing laws that will give the child abuser a stronger sentence.

" thatguy: As a matter of fact, I do read my Bible everyday. I also attend church every Sunday, am involved on a weekly basis in at least three different Bible studies, and am taught by many wise & educated men in the Truth of God. It also states in Matthew 7:1-2 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." What you are quoting is concerning matters between christians, not crimes committed outside of the church. I have been advised by a wise christian in my church that we need to be praying and ministering to this man, and let the justice system judge him. His soul needs to be saved like everyone else on earth! God Bless you! "

Very few cases really go to trail now days. "

" ConcernedChristian - You obviously need to read your Bible more; do you read the Bible? Let me help you out, so you don't have to read the whole bible but be educated with teh truth of what the Bible says:
"The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment." (Psa. 37:30)

"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?"

It's clear that you don't fully understand the Bible. Jesus never said don't judge; what he said was judge yourself first before judging others. "




Wondering wrote on Apr 9, 2008 6:36 PM:

" My point exactly. WHY wouldn't the mother wake up when she heard the baby crying? It sounds like it went on for hours, before they finally "decided" to take him to the Dr. DID THEY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEIR DRUGS OR DRUNKEN STATE WORE OFF? I am just wondering what really went on that night. "




A Mother wrote on Apr 9, 2008 3:19 PM:

" I absolutely agree that this man should pay for the crime committed. I also agree that this is just another example of why kids shouldn't have kids. My only issue is that this mother should have some explaining to do. I am a mother of an infant and have endured many sleepless nights with my child. I just don't understand how a mother wouldn't wake up to those cries. Those were cries of pain and would have been impossible to ignore. Lets hope nothing catastrophic happens in the night where she might have to protect that baby because she might just sleep though that! "




ConcernedChristian wrote on Apr 9, 2008 12:11 PM:

" I am not saying that he should not be punished...I hope that he is properly punished according to his crime. My child is irrelevant to this case, because neither me nor my husband would ever hurt our children. I want him punished but I will also be praying for his soul! It is easy to sit back and judge from outside, but that is not our job, it's God's job! All we can do is pray that the justice system punishes him correctly. God Bless you all! "

" I am as angry and sickened by this as anyone. I knew the father when he was in middle school, and it makes me ill knowing all the social and educational systems that failed him.

But before we come unhinged at the thought of him pleading "not-guilty", let's think a minute. A "guilty" plea would have meant plea bargain and probably reduced charges and minimal sentence. A not-guilty" plea means he will be brought to trial, which is a good thing. It brings a greater chance of a more severe sentence, because I can't imagine a situation where a jury would find him innocent. "
