Baby Boy Mutilated – Mother Blames Dog, But Cops Are Suspicious
Baby Holden’s mother blamed her dog, an 8 pound miniature dachshund with a history of sleeping curled up next to the newborn, for the mutilation. But police are slowly piecing together evidence that suggests that it was Holden’s mother who committed this atrocity.
Police, doctors and CPS officials told Holden’s dad, Camden, that Holden’s injuries
were not consistent with dog bites
The latest information that we have is that she is in some sort of rehab facility. We do not have any contact with her, so I am not positive about that.
Where is his mother now?
I am Holden’s paternal aunt, and I truly thank you for your thoughts and your prayers. He is doing better each day and we are very much looking forward to the day when we will have him at home with us. I do believe strongly in the power of prayer, so please do keep Holden in yours.
I keep searching everyday for an update for this precious baby. I have even searched every word that was used to describe his ordeal to ensure I was reading correctly. As a mother, my heart aches for him and the future he may face. I have prayed that since The Lord knows our steps that if this young man will not lead a normal life that he would take him. But Master Holden has somehow pulled through and that lets me know that God is in control and baby Holden will be okay. He will forever be in my prayers and remain heavy on my heart.
This story does have merit to be ran. It shows once again the double standards placed through out our society and the horrid mentality that our culture has been ever developing, since life has been so cheapened.
Double standard: Let the story have been purely about an apparently sexually assaulted child and the only care giver having been a male. Hmmm… no charges yet pressed even though drug use was in evidence? How about gross child neglect and endangerment for openers, while they piece together whether it was the care giver that committed the acts? How much worse then where the child is grievously injured?
Life Cheapened: Course with this child being so close to being a fetus and our society only being proportionally more concerned with those who are closer to voting age, it doesn’t surprise me that little is being done from the start. There are to many cases involving victims where it is shown that when they are younger and younger the reactions are proportionally more and more lapsing. Period.
Basically: If they can’t vote, marginalize them. If they can’t speak, ignore their plights. If they’re totally defenseless or better to say fetal, then it’s the trash heap.
Purely Personal Note: Ah, where are all those great feminist organizations expounding their great efforts for championing the weak? Again, case after case when it concerns the voiceless and defenseless they always fall silent but shrilly scream about women’s reproductive rights but not the responsibilities that go with it. Actually, no they are not completely silent in the face of the defensely. They are more than happy to greedily scream for a woman to obtain her pound of bloody flesh at the doctor’s office. No wonder then that a mother or anyone else for that matter would see a new born as nothing more than as that pound of flesh.
Me too. I gotta say, the purpose of this blog is to entertain, inform, create discussion, enlighten, and otherwise add to the parenting sphere. But this story? I can’t see how it serves any of these goals or really any other one I can think of, except to horrify the readers and maybe make us lose sleep.
I feel for the poor baby. But parenting is hard enough without spreading and sharing every truly horrible story we encounter for no real purpose.
I’m sorry, but I have to agree with the previous poster. You’re argument that it’s your “job to blog about current events” is a little lopsided. There are a lot of other current events that don’t involve publishing what is a horrid and sad event. It’s an illustration of how far into the sensationalistic cesspool our media has fallen. “If it bleeds, it leads” has become a truth, rather than a bad movie joke.
If you had done this piece with some sort of social commentary attached to it and had left out a full description of the injuries, which were not necessary, I could see your argument.
And as for your comment about your heart going out to the mother of this child? Are you NUTS? I’m sorry..no wait, I’m not. She get’s no sympathy from me. If I were to tell you what I think should honestly be done with her, you would think me a horrid person, so I’ll keep that to myself, but sympathy is the last thing I have in mind.
Yes, I know drug addiction is a disease…I also know she had a choice. She could have placed that child in a safe and caring environment after he was born. So don’t even start on me with the poo-pooing about having compassion for that sick, twisted woman.
K1,
It’s my job to blog about current events that are parent/child/parenting related. I don’t think any “interpretation” of mine would be relevant where this story is concerned. Don’t like? Don’t read. Easy.
I tend to agree. How is this helping anyone? I suppose you could read this and think “Well, I’m a much better parent than SHE is” but that’s about the best I can do with it.
I’m sorry, but I think re-posting this here is just morbid and sensationalistic. Why is this even national news?
I’m appalled at how journalism today skews towards the morbidly sensationalistic pieces. Especially when infants or toddlers are involved.
Why not report every time a baby dies in a car accident? Because it’s not weird enough?
You didn’t even give your own interpretation to this. So basically it’s just like “Look… How Disturbing”. Yeah. Great.
