It's a crime both horrific and crass a welfare mother smothers her crying baby in his crib, dumps him in a trash bin, then continues to collect public assistance on him for the next 4 1/2 years.
That's the case that was laid out in Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday against Diatra Hester-Bey, charged killing 14-month-old Devon Rivers on Feb. 29, 2000. "She smothered his face in a pillow, and then left him for dead as she took a nap," in the West 41st Street Red Cross shelter where they lived, Assistant DA Andrew Seewald told jurors.
Later, she dressed the baby's corpse and took it in a carriage, by subway, to Queens, where she tossed it away like garbage.......
The body has never been found. She continued to collect welfare checks on Devon's behalf just over $100 a month and has been charged with manslaughter and grand larceny.
Hester-Bey, of Brownsville, Brooklyn, was only arrested after an August 2004 fight with a boyfriend, Robert Potter.....ratted Hester-Bey out on the alleged smothering.
Hester-Bey first told cops that the baby died in his crib, and that she abandoned his corpse, still in the stroller, in Queens. After some two days of questioning, Hester-Bey tearfully admitted to the smothering.............

Take that one step further:
She assumed that because I posted my remarks here at FR I could not be a Black man with those ideas

Put it back in your pants V I'm straight, and I'm pretty sure your not making any @#ing sense... but that may be just bad upbringing.
Listen and learn. Some day with courage and luck you may even own your own business... a legitimate one.

THE HATERS' CREED (they actually do believe in {gag} something)
The traditional family is archaic, constricting, with no redeeming social value. Parents that try to guide their children's choices are restrictive. Kids need to be "free".
Moral indignation is our standard strategy for endowing our output with superiority.
It's our duty to treat Middle America in the manner of raising mushrooms, that is to say, keep them in the dark and feed them lots of horse manure.
Capitalism creates oppression; government creates opportunity.
Traditional gender roles are artificial but feminism and homosexuality are government-protected lifestyles.
Self-esteem is paramount; government must undertake to guarantee each citizen-victim self-esteem no matter the cost.
The ACLU is good, because destroying religion and silencing believers are protected by the Constitution and the First Amendment; The NRA is bad because it defends the Constitution.
Everybody knows Black people can't make it on their own; it hypes our superiority and makes us feel so good when we handout all those government assistance programs.
Abortion is a natural right. The Founders just forgot to put it in the Constitution.
Normal sex is perverted. Threesomes, bestiality, necrophilia, homosexuality are just new ways to get a thrill.

Hester-Bey, of Brownsville, Brooklyn, was only arrested after an August 2004 fight with a boyfriend, Robert Potter, in which she said he choked her and threw turpentine, paint and bleach on her furniture and clothes. Potter, in turn, ratted Hester-Bey out on the alleged smothering. It's amazing he didn't kill her and then overdose.

LOL........really, really, much later term.

Who even brought this topic up? Nobody said a word about murdering your children being strictly a black crime. As a matter of fact, I just skimmed the article and didn't even realize this woman/murderer was black.
Who cares what color she is? She's a piece of evil trash.
Are we so politically correct in this country now that we can't even call this woman an evil murderer without having to check her freak'n pedigree first?

On welfare for at least six years. And for the last 4 and a half no one checks to see if the person is real and/or alive.
What happened to the whole 'welfare reform' that was supposed to start limits on how long a person can stay on welfare? Why aren't our tax dollars more wisely spent? Shouldn't we have better stewardship of the taxes? But now the great state of NY will spend more money on the trial and taking care of this mother for the rest of her life, whether she's convicted or not.

I save that accusation for those I know to be bigots, based on a history of targating specific groups for condemnation.Kind of like your little swipe at the Catholic Church?

A parasite is an organism that lives off the resources of another organism and does harm to the host organism in the process.
"Parasite" is a very correct term for this murdering welfare mother. She is feeding off the taxpayers while doing harm to our society, and she will continue to feed as the taxpayers support her during her prison term. "Parasite" is a perfect description for people like this woman, regardless of their race or skin color.
I'm sure that there are Americans who need social services such as welfare and food stamps, but there are millions who are just taking a free ride on the tax payer's back. These people are PARASITES!
The Nazis used the term "parasite" to describe Jewish people because the Nazis were racist lunatics, not because the Jews were actually feeding off their society. Most Jews in Germany were hard working and productive people, not a piece of filth like this woman.

I'd say she was coming down from a binge and wanted to sleep. The baby was keeping her awake.

Preposterously, these stories are always brought up as a rationale for legalized abortion.
