CHESTER COUNTY, SC (WBTV) -
A Chester mother accused of killing her 4-day-old son by putting him in a refrigerator has posted bond and is out of jail.
Angela Blackwell is charged with homicide by child abuse stemming from the death of her son, William, in February 2016. She was given a $25,000 bond late Thursday afternoon.
Prosecutors said Blackwell left the infant in the refrigerator for around three hours.

This kinda stuff is why the death penalty exists.
I read some more articles on this chick. It seems she is mentally disabled in some form or another. It did not say what the disorder was but when you watch videos of her in court you can see she’s not right. I guess her family thought she was okay to have/raise kids. I really suggest her husband rethink this.
If they don't want them, give them up for adoption. There are many fine people who want children but can't have them.
Been trying to find out more about this woman. Like stated she’s mentally disabled. According to the article below and other articles online she “has the mental capacity of a fourth-grader”.
Now before everyone jumps the gun and says she should have never had kids let it be known that mentally retarded people have children all the time and stuff like this does not happen. However it’s probably a good idea to have an aid to help these people when they do have children. This woman already had a three year old so I guess they thought she was fine. Still though since she had a low IQ someone should have (coulda woulda shoulda) been there for the second child.
She did have family to help her, husband, parents. When her husband was at work her mom should have been there. That’s just my 2 cents.

You know....am reading this story from the Daily Mail UK. I missed something from earlier articles....
“Investigators said Angela Blackwell was at her family’s home in Chester on February 27 when she put her four-day-old son, William Lewis, in the refrigerator and shut the door.
After three hours, she took the boy out and called 911.
Paramedics responded to Blackwell’s home on Rose Street, which was occupied by at least 10 people at the time, and performed CPR on the newborn. “

10 people living in that small house???? Any one of them could have done this and blamed her! She has the IQ of an ash tray and could be easily be made to take the fall.
Thanks. Didn’t know all that- not that it makes it any less horrid.
Maybe he had a fever and she was trying to cool him down.
“She did have family to help her, husband, parents. “
What man marries a woman with the mental capacity of a fourth-grader? (And don’t say “all of them.”)
“What man marries a woman with the mental capacity of a fourth-grader? (And dont say all of them.)”
That thought crossed my mind. I’m going to hope he really cared for her as a person. I saw him in court, along with her parents and pastor. I want to believe he had her best interest at heart. Maybe he knew her all his life and wanted to care for her? Who knows..who knows.
“You are right, there is something about this story that is a bit wonky. “
10 people...now are some of those kids? Could see a kid doing something like this then blaming her. If it was an adult then they did it because the baby was crying and they were annoyed? Or maybe someone in this house did this out of spit to “get rid” of this woman? I sure hope cops questioned everyone.
BTW while the IQ of a fourth grader means that you probably would not discuss astrophysics with her it does not mean that she did not have a firm grasp on the basics of life.
Come to think of it, considering how everything is dumbed down she probably got along quite will
“BTW while the IQ of a fourth grader means that you probably would not discuss astrophysics with her it does not mean that she did not have a firm grasp on the basics of life.”
True but you would not let a fourth grader babysit your kid. Yet this man makes her the mother of his children. Being a mother is a big job even for someone who has the IQ of a 12th grader. Have to wonder “what were they thinking?”
