Police in the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis are investigating the death of a 6-year-old boy as a homicide, according to officials.

The boy was taken to a hospital where he later died.

A West Allis woman is now charged with the death of her 6-year old son.

According to the criminal complaint, Hank Brown-Rockow died from blunt force trauma to the abdomen, not from an apparent knife wound that brought police to the child's home on 73rd Street.

The complaint says the child "appeared malnourished, with bruises covering his body from head to toe, including significant bruising surrounding both of his eyes."

There were also human bite marks on his body, investigators said.

The boy's mother, Tasha Rockow, 32, was charged with chronic neglect of a child, resulting in death, as well as false imprisonment.

Police said witnesses told them the child was often abused, and one said Rockow treated the boy "like a convict."

She was convicted of misdemeanor child neglect in 2014.

Information from the criminal complaint stated that the boy lived with his father for most of his life but when his father passed away last year, he was placed with his mother, who had no prior relationship.

The defendant's sister claimed Rockow treated Hank differently from her other two children because she didn't like the father.

Police were also told he wasn't allowed to sit on the furniture and was denied food.

Additionally, the sister also said he would always wear a sweater, pants, hat, and a mask to cover his injuries.

A friend of the defendant added that he witnessed the other two children beat Hank and saw him handcuffed and shackled.

Community grieves over death, abuse of 6-year-old West Allis boy

Updated: 5:17 p.m. on Sept. 12, 2021 WEST ALLIS, Wis. -- The tragic story of a six-year-old boy who died Monday, Sept. 6, in West Allis, who faced neglect and abuse from his mother, is hitting the community

www.cbs58.com

According to a criminal complaint, the boy was gray in color, appeared malnourished and had bruises covering his body "from head to toe." Officials noted a stab wound to his abdomen. The stab wound appeared to be an "older injury."

While at the scene, the complaint states, Brown-Rockow lost his pulse. Personnel continuously performed CPR as he was transported to Children's Wisconsin. First responders "knew that (Brown-Rockow's) condition was the result of something far more serious than a single stab wound." One of the physicians also noted human bite marks, in addition to the other injuries, the complaint states.

Brown-Rockow was pronounced dead at Children's Wisconsin.

According to the complaint, Brown-Rockow lived with his father most of his life. When his father passed away in 2020, Brown-Rockow was placed with his mother who, the complaint states, had no prior relationship with the child.

While speaking with police, Rockow said it was "normal behavior" for her son to play with knives on a regular basis. She also said the bruising was the result of not getting along with other children in the home, who had hit the boy.

Rockow told police that on Sept. 6, she was woken up by two children who said Brown-Rockow had been playing with a knife and fell. She said she found him face down on the floor with a knife next to him, according to the complaint. She called 911 and applied pressure to his abdomen.

According to the complaint, Rockow said she had no explanation as to how the boy suffered bruising from head to toe and no explanation for the bite marks on his body. During her 911 call, police say her statements about the boy contradicted his actual condition and she repeatedly made comments that other children had hit the boy.

Police spoke with a woman who lived upstairs from Rockow and her children. She said Rockow treated Brown-Rockow "like a convict," per the complaint. She said Rockow did not allow the child to sit on furniture and often denied him food.

A man who knew Rockow told police that she treated Brown-Rockow "like (expletive)." He said he once saw the boy handcuffed with his hands behind his back and his legs shackled, according to the complaint. He asked Rockow why, and she said the boy steals knives. Three hours later, he saw the boy was still handcuffed.

Numerous different citizen witnesses were interviewed and confirmed Rockow chronically abused and had a "negative attitude" toward her son, according to the complaint.

The complaint states first responders found Brown-Rockow's bedding outside. There were two sets of metal handcuffs in Rockow's bedroom, consistent with what the man had told police. There was a knife on her dresser and another in the kitchen sink.

A review of Rockow's phone revealed searches such as "stomach bloating and swelling" and "five signs bloating is the sign of something more serious" within the hour prior to her 911 call.

On previous occasions dating back to July, the complaint states, Rockow's searches included "how to heal brain damage naturally" and "skull deformity after trauma." She also searched for "insane asylum safety restraints" and other types of restraints.

Police spoke with two other children who were living in the home at the time. One expressed concern for Rockow-Brown but was afraid of saying "anything to implicate anyone" in his death. The other child was "vulgar, verbally abusive, and displayed a significant dislike" of the 6-year-old. Both children were" surprised" to learn of Brown-Rockow's cause of death.

The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office performed an autopsy on Brown-Rockow on Sept. 8.

A forensic pathologist noted multiple blunt force injuries, and cuts and bruising to internal organs. The boy had "healing fractures" to multiple bones and also had multiple hemorrhages.

Brown-Rockow's death was preliminarily ruled a homicide due to blunt force trauma to the abdomen; the stab wound was not considered the cause of death, the complaint states.

I hope every single person who saw this babies plight, and turned away, is failed in their hour of need.

 

[Gawker]

Fuck this lady to hell. And fuck her bitch ass sister, friends and neighbors. *Maybe* even fuck her other stupid worthless “vulgar verbally abusive” children. I haven’t decided on them yet. They can’t help they were raised by a vile child murder whore.

Hank "Asher" Brown-Rockow

 

[Totemic]

Holy shit. This poor kid didn't stand a chance once he was sent to her. This here is part of the reason I hate our systems. Just because the person is ether the egg or the worm donor does not mean the child should go there.
Sucks the kid's father died,but if they had done any type of investigation before placing him, this child may still be alive with paternal grands or siblings

 

[Sevens My Charm]

So many people did absolutely nothing.. not a solitary fucking thing.. not a word spoken to her.. not an offer to take the boy.. not a call to the paternal grandparents.. not a call to the police or CPS.. not a fucking thing and now.. now he's dead they talk.. the one kid seemed bullied into abusing his brother and the belligerent one is just an apple off the tree.. she could have given him up to foster care.. shit abandoning him somewhere.. shit even with a complete stranger would have given him some shot, a chance and hope.. from love to hell at such a young age.. my heart aches.. at least he has no more fear and no more pain.. he can finally rest..

Then the boy's dad was killed in a car crash last year.

That's when he was placed by the court with Asher's birth mother, Tasha Rockow.

 

[Ramona the brave]

This is heartbreaking... The trauma that boy must have been through. It always hits a little different when it happens in your hometown... Like you wish you could've been there but you weren't

 

[Sugar Cookie]

She was trying to blame someone else

Tasha Ramthun is

feeling pained.​

The most hardest thing is is when you have to make a report of child abuse involving your own children . we were going through blankets today and I found out why one of my children’s blankets are missing . come to find out the person burned it because my son didn’t wanna eat. in the process of burning it they carried him out wrapped tightly in a blanket forcing him to watch his blanket burn , to be 1 inch away from the fire and then when he try to get away they pinned him down and put their knee on his chest . where he pleaded to get off him so he could breathe .. for those of you who think that you can do that to my child to someone anyones child and think that it’s OK and you can sleep at night you are a rotten person.. I hate that’s I wasn’t there to protect him .. I thought the person I left him in their care with would’ve kept them safe but I was wrong.. And you all wonder why I am the way I am…

 

[Sevens My Charm]

Either way you failed miserably at being a mom and apparently missed out on a general education along the way ..

 

[RavagesTheCabbages]

Petition by paternal fam, I think it's the paternal family...

 

[Ramona the brave]

So I'm looking up her history on the Wisconsin circuit Court access website. Reading between the lines, this is pretty fucked up. She has a criminal history including

• Battery to Law Enforcement Officers, Fire Fighters or Commission Wardens, a class H felony, Wisconsin Statutes 940.20(2).
• Resisting or Obstructing an Officer, a class A misdemeanor, Wisconsin Statutes 946.41(1).
• Neglecting a Child, a class A misdemeanor, Wisconsin Statutes 948.21(1)(a).
• Possess Drug Paraphernalia, an unclassified misdemeanor, Wisconsin Statutes 961.573(1).

Plus assorted disorderly conduct, driving without insurance, driving after revocation, drug possession, etc. She fought to get joint custody when he was a baby and the court granted the father sole custody and placement, and her only supervised visits. She had to be a pretty shit mom for them to do that. And yet this kid was placed with her after his dad died. What a nightmare.

Here's a bit on the father... This poor kid did not have a prayer.

no one tried to help him. The female claims that he doesn’t get along with the brother s and sisters! She knew they assaulted him and didn’t intervene? Totally Her fault! Her record reveals an antisocial , combative personality! She encouraged the other children to assault him! People witnessed her terrible treatment of the child, did they tell anyone who could help? Or as anecdotal commentary after his death? Poor child , thrown into an abusive mess with a hateful monster he had never known. Sad end! I hope she is given a good, long time to reflect on her wickedness . Her cell should be papered with photos of his injuries.

wtf is this witnesses deal without being reported to CPS

 

[Sugar Cookie]

A judge Thursday sentenced Tasha Rockow to 33 years in prison.

"I first want to say I'm sorry sweetheart. I'm sorry I let your mind get the best of me. I'm sorry I let the boys pick on you and hit you," Rockow said during sentencing.

She pleaded guilty in August to child neglect resulting in death and physical abuse of a child.

According to the criminal complaint, Hank Brown-Rockow died from blunt force trauma to the abdomen, not from an apparent knife wound that brought police to the child's home on South 73rd Street.

Prosecutors said Rockow beat and starved her son, Hank, for months.

Did I read that correctly? Is she still blaming the victim in her sentencing statement?
Unbelievable…

This is where you really hope there is prison justice.

She blames everyone but herself for killing this poor child
