Overview of Shaken Baby Syndrome
We have done a few articles on shaken baby syndrome here. I happened across his article which explains what exactly occurs when you shake a baby and why it can cause so many problems, up to and including death. The point that I like from the article is that every parent needs to have a […]
Anthony Sewejkis Convicted of Child Abuse
Another baby boy, 4-month-old Hunter, was abused by the father a few months ago. The father, Anthony Sewejkis, 25, was just recently convicted of first-degree abuse. The little boy was crying, as babies tend to do, and the father slammed his head into the floor causing brain damage and partial blindess. When the mother came […]
Do You Sleep with Your Baby?
Today’s article is not about a baby that was abandoned or abused or even unwanted. Yet, since our main priority is to make sure babies are kept safe, I wanted to be sure to talk about this issue anyway. Co-sleeping. Please don’t do it. Little Alfie Smith died just a few weeks after his injuries […]
Mother Charged for Drug Abuse During Pregnancy
This is a very short article, but it brings up a point I do not believe we have talked about here at One By One. A mother Antoinette Franklin Newsome, 33, has been arrested for the murder of her newborn baby. This is not the typical story we see involving a desperate mother or a […]
Sharon Worthy Sentenced
Sharon Worthy, 22 has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for her role in the death of her 3-year-old son. It was actually her boyfriend who killed the boy (Curtis Copeland, 28, was given life in prison), but there appear to have been several points in this story at which Worthy could have saved […]
Jesse Joe Hernandez: Put to Death for Crimes Against Children
Eleven years ago Jesse Joe Hernandez murdered a 10-month-old little boy and also abused his sister. He was just recently put to death by lethal injection in Texas. Whether or not you agree with capital punishment is not the issue. I would just like everyone to read this article and keep in mind what happened […]
Eddie Salazar Sr.- What Really Happened?
This story is despicable. A man invented four different stories to cover up the fact that he murdered- possibly accidently- his infant son. At first, Eddie Salazar Sr., 31, even created an elaborate scenario involving men breaking into his house and him being knocked unconscious as explanation for the baby’s disappearance. What actually happened was […]
Whereabouts of Newborn Unknown to Police
This is a new one for me. A mother is facing charges of killing her newborn though no child has been found. Seem strange? Well the mother admitted to giving birth to a baby but refuses to tell police where it is. The police department has been searching the area around where she gave birth, […]
Wisconsin to Expand Safe Haven
Representatives in Wisconsin are seeking to expand Safe Haven laws in the state. The new legislation would increase the age limit for dropping off newborns from 3 days to 30 days. I can see no real reason why there are states that have such a small window for Safe Haven protection. Any child older than […]
Woman Now Charged with Three Infant Murders
The strange story I reported on earlier remains strange. The Calgary mother who was arrested when her child was found in a plastic bag in a dumpster, was being investigated for other possible incidents. Although no bodies were ever found, Meredith Katherine Borowiec, 30, has indeed been charged with two more counts of infant murder. […]
