Lincoln Man Charged With Beating 6-Month-Old To Death

Another child has been murdered at the hands of a adult.
Isaac was just six months old when his mothers boyfriend became angry that the child would not stop crying.
Court documents say Kerl was trying to feed the boy when, he said, the infant's nose accidentally hit an open cupboard. Kerl also told investigators he accidentally dropped the baby in the living room. Records say that Kerl tried to get the baby to stop crying by covering up the boy's mouth with his hand. Kerl also admitted to intentionally dropping Isaac into his crib with his head hitting the rail, according to the records. After that, according to court documents, the baby continued to cry.


Kerl told investigators that he went to several nearby apartments knocking on doors to use the phone to call 911. He told police no one answered the door, and even though he had a vehicle and a baby seat, he never made the decision to take Isaac to a hospital.

"Through further investigation and an autopsy, we determined this was a homicide. The baby had been a victim of blunt-force trauma," Casady said.KETV.com - News - Lincoln Man Charged With Beating 6-Month-Old To Death

The death of a child is never an easy thing to deal with, and my heart goes out to the surviving family members. What makes the death even worse, is when it comes at the hands of someone intentionally. It was SIDS, a sickness, or an accident that stole this child's life- it was a man who couldn't deal with the normal crying of a little child. It was senseless, cold and cruel.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

Jamie Rose Bolin

Jamie Bolin was last seen alive on Wednesday, while at the local library... and although she was reported missing when she failed to return home, no Amber Alert was issued until Thursday night. I understand the need to maintain certain criteria should be met when issuing an Amber Alert... I realise the importance of attempting to ensure that the public doesn't become conditioned to the alerts and slowly begin to ignore them... and yet, something in me is completely bothered that a 10 year old can go missing without people being informed of it. The police believe, according to a statement released that even if an Amber Alert had been released- we'd still be faced with the same horrible end to this story... but how can they know that? What is the possibility that someone may have seen even the smallest piece of evidence and called LE? Can we really accept that there was nothing that could have saved this child? Now, I don't mean to criticize anyone, I really don't. I ju...
