Man ‘killed newborn daughter with cinder block – because he couldn’t afford another baby’

• Mother also faces murder charges as ‘she knew her boyfriend planned to kill baby’
• She already had five children under the age of nine
• Little girl died just hours after she was born

A father allegedly killed his baby daughter with a cinder block just hours after she was born – because he and the little girl’s mother couldn’t afford to have another child. Christopher Fitzpatrick, 20, allegedly told his girlfriend, Jennifer Barrise, ‘I just want to get rid of it’ as she started having contractions while they were out shopping near their home in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania. Both have now been charged with criminal homicide after police found their daughter’s tiny body buried in woodland near Fitzpatrick’s workplace.

This question is complex and very complicated to answer for the purpose of this web site. To even attempt it I run the fear of over simplification. Pedophiles have long been a mystery to why they abuse? We do know there is an arousal as well as a control factor. There is also an addictive quality that is taking place. The treatment is difficult, expensive and riddled with failures. There is no simple answer. I have spent years assessing and treating pedophiles with minimal success. One has to re frame, take a different view. If there is only one success out of one hundred , then many children have been saved from the emotional torment. It has emotional drained me from time to time, and I have had to take numerous sabbaticals.

Bradley admits he committed, a state trooper testified last week that the doctor had to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on victims who appeared to stop breathing and turned “ashen gray.” The disclosure that some girls appeared to lose consciousness, both choking and suffocating, when he forced oral sex on them led two women to storm out of the hushed courtroom. His average victim was about 3 years old, a trooper said.

10-year-old boy: My adoptive parents spanked me until I bled, kept me away from food

SANFORD – A 10-year-old boy today told jurors that the Altamonte Springs couple that adopted him spanked him bare bottomed until he bled then would spank him again before those wounds healed, leaving scars. Dwayne and Pamela Hardy also punished the boy time and again by not giving him meals, the child said. By the time child welfare investigators got involved, the boy and his younger sister, also adopted, were gaunt, had permanent scars on their bottoms and had hands that were swollen and marked from blows from a wooden spoon, according to testimony.
