Police: Woman Left Infant Alone For Three Weeks Baby Is In Fair Condition
UPDATED: 4:26 pm EDT October 22, 2005
COVINGTON, Ohio -- Authorities said that a mother left her 7-month-old baby alone in her apartment for three weeks while she stayed with a friend.
Ashley Traylor, 20, was arrested Friday in Covington, about 30 miles north of Dayton. Her child is being treated for severe malnourishment and is in fair condition.
Traylor is being charged with criminal abuse, NBC4 reported.
Police said that the baby was nearly lifeless when he was found. They say he hadn't eaten or had his diaper changed in three weeks.
A friend that the mother was staying with said Traylor told her that her son was with a babysitter.
Friends said that Traylor is pregnant again and has a 3-year-old in foster care.
Here is the dirtbag.
meth is hitting rural communities hard. Out here in middle of nowhere, ohio, we are seeing more and more meth and meth crimes. Where there are drugs, there is crime. The worst being addicts commiting armed home invasions to steal anything they think they can sell.
I wish drugs like Meth and herion left women infertile, so this would not happen to these children. Now they are wards of the state, will most likely not be adopted because of mental health issues, grow up and turn around to repeat their parents mistakes....
Yep,
first it was the crack babies flooding the system, now it's the kids whose parents are on meth.
I really wish there was someway to keep these folks from having more kids.
Seems all the wrong folks can have gobs of kids.
I've worked with another family, in which there are 4 adult siblings; 3 female and 1 male, all under 30...and all addicted to meth. All of the women had children. The youngest sister lost her last child to CPS when it was born addicted to meth. (My understanding is that she had another one that she'd lost previously). The oldest and the middle sisters lost their children to CPS when the children were found to have been exposed to hard porn and committing sex acts on each other (ages of the children: 2- 8). The oldest of those children, a girl, is scared to death of looking like a girl. There is suspicion that these children were being used for internet kiddie porn.
The rights of the oldest mother were terminated a few months back. There is a termination hearing on the middle mom tomorrow. Her 3 children, all by different men, are currently with their respective fathers. The youngest of the moms was found dead in her home recently. The youngest of the siblings, the brother, just got out of prison on meth related charges and has made death threats against those who put him there.
And that is just in one family...although 3 separate CPS cases. I can't imagine what family get togethers are like in that family. I sometimes wonder what the mother of these addicts thinks.
What a monster! And ske keeps on breeding. This woman should be sterilized.
The women needs to be shot and buried in a shallow grave with the marker: "This is what happens to sluts who abandon innocent infants to die."
It couldn't.
As normal...the media leaps before looking.
augh. My brother works for CPS as a child advocate while going to graduate school. He says you would not believe what some people do to their own children, and what the consequence is for that child as they grow up.
What kills me is I know so many infertile couples, and then people like this get to have 3 kids???
I teach in a high school that is nearly 100 percent African American. One of our seniors just delivered her baby last week. When her friend told me about the birth I asked her what she was planning to do. "Raise it" was the reply. I asked her if it wouldn't be better for the child to be given up for adoption so the child could be raised by a mother and father. She replied that the girl believes it is her responsibility to raise the child. I told her that it was the mother's responsibility to finish growing up first, then get married and have children. She looked at me like I was from another planet.
I work with one situation in which the mother has produced 6 children and had them all taken away, different times; different states...and she's only 27.
And you're right about how unfair it is that so many people who really want children can't have them, and these people reproduce like rabbits...hence my tagline.
I too was a teacher before becoming a stay at home mom. Saw a lot of the same. Had one girl who was 18, still a sophmore, and preg with her 4th baby. The school I was at was inner city (Pittsburgh) and had a daycare for student's children so they could finish school.
I could never raise my daughter without my husband, we are a team. Recently he went on a 2 week business trip, longest two weeks of my life!
I agree ... .
Same where I lived in the middle of nowhere Missouri. It was rural, it seems to hit rural areas worse. You don't have neighbors who report the strange smell coming from the neighbors house when they live 1/4 mile away.
Now, I can't say I appreciate vigilantism but there was a house a few miles from where I lived, the man was in jail but his woman was apparently still dealing. The house burned (it was a rundown piece of crap, should have long been condemned), there was a little rumor going around town that the neighbors did not appreciate having meth dealers around their kids. Probably just a rumor. I understand cooking meth is highly explosive, maybe the neighbors just wanted to take credit.
Your #64 and #70
How horrid! I also read your homepage. You're a good country woman, keep up the good work!
Meth makingt is really, really dangerous. Last year 2 guys died in a trailer on their land making meth. Blew themselves up!
The grossest thing I have ever seen dealing with meth though was that article someone posted here about methmouth, what it does to a persons teeth and how it is costing taxpayers millions in prisoner dentalcare each year...
