Geontae Glass

Yesterday, in a moment of being hurried I posted a couple of Amber Alerts, and went on about my day. In the back of my mind I thought of them- one involved an infant, stolen from her mother and the other involved a little boy.

The story said that little Geontae Glass was sleeping in the back of his mothers car when she stopped at a store to grab some juice. Glass' mother reported that she left him asleep in the car while she quickly ran inside. In what could only be described as a mothers worse fear, a man approached the vehicle, and jumped inside- stealing the car with the child still in the back seat.

A search for the child quickly began, with an Amber Alert issued, listing the child as in extreme danger.

Geontae Glass was found this morning, apparently murdered. At first thought, most of us will quickly wonder what the car thief had hoped to gain by coldly murdering a little boy. How could anyone justify killing a child over a stolen car?

Before your heart breaks for the mother in this case, new developments have taken a twist on this "stolen car" story, and police now are taking a close look at the mother and her boyfriend for the child's death.

A mother who told police her 5-year-old son was abducted by a carjacker lied to police to cover up his death as a result of "physical abuse and trauma," a sheriff authorities in Alabama told CNN on Tuesday.

"We believe the evidence is going to show that these two -- in different acts, in different roles in the tragedy -- caused the death of this young fellow," said James Hayes, sheriff of of Alabama's Etowah County.

The body of Geontae Glass was found early Tuesday in the mother's car outside her boyfriend's residence in Rainbow City, near Gadsden, Hayes said.

I understand unspecified drugs and 30K in cash were found in the boyfriend's apartment...this is probably a case of someone who has a record and should have never been released from jail...thanks to lilo for her attention to this and all of these matters...

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...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

$167.90

He received $167.90 to serve on the jury. It couldn't have been an easy case to listen to. Hearing of how a 13 year old was raped by a 38 year old man who had befriended the family, it'd be enough to make most people turn in repulsion. But the juror did what he was suppose to, and long with the 11 other people who sat by his side- he found the defendant guilty. Believing that the child, who had come from a broken home- a mother battling drugs and a father who wasn't there- deserved justice, the 12 people performed their moral, ethical and judicial duty and sentenced Gregory Bryant to 30 years in prison. One would think that Bruse Funkhouser had earned that $167.90. Perhaps it would cover a small portion of the income that he lost while serving his duty to the courts. Perhaps it would just give him a little extra change in his pocket. So, you might wonder what would cause Funkhouser to return the check to the court house... Members of a Pawnee County jury are upset a judge g...
