Harve Johnson and Neida Baez suck

[Jaded]

A 2-year-old girl is fighting for her life at Hershey Medical Center after police said her mother's boyfriend beat her with a video game controller and cord Sunday in York. The girl is in the critical care unit in a vegetative state on life support with multiple injuries, the most dire considered injuries to her brain, said York City Detective First Class Dana Ward, who supervises the child abuse unit.

Police and ambulance personnel responded to the mother's home in the 700 block of West Philadelphia Street in York for an unresponsive 2-year-old child. The toddler had visible bruises, marks and lacerations to her head, back and body, Ward said.

The child's mother, Neida E. Baez, 19, of the 700 block of West Philadelphia Street, is charged with endangering the welfare of a child. The mother's boyfriend, Harve L. Johnson, 26, is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, endangering the welfare of a child and reckless endangerment.

During questioning at the police station, Johnson admitted to beating the girl but did not say why, Ward said. The toddler was beaten with a video game controller and cord, according to charging documents.

The mother told police the Johnson was beating her daughter and the child was screaming which then stopped, according to charging documents.

Baez was charged because she was home when Johnson allegedly beat the toddler but did not intervene or try to get help, Ward said.

Jesus Christ put them both out of their misery! They are a waste of oxygen and money.

I just don't understand women who say that they love their children then when their man starts beating one child, why don't they do something to help that child that they love? I know when my husband started hitting my child with a belt and wouldn't stop, I got between my daughter and him, grabbed the belt from him and started hitting him with it. He staggered out the door and left. He did come back to see the kids but he never hit her or the others like that again because he knew I would kill him if he laid another hand on any of my kids. Yes, I ended up with welts on my body, but my daughter and I didn't get nearly as many as he did that day.

 

[sherrz]

I live where this happened, West Philly St. is about 5 min from my house. I saw it on the 5 o'clock news. I am so tired of this kind of stuff happening in this town. It's nothing new around here, just most of the time it isn't put into the media. I'm glad they're finally exposing the trash of York City.

I got between my daughter and him, grabbed the belt from him and started hitting him with it.

nurseronda, you're the shit, if anyone ever starts fucking with me, can I just give you a call? If you say yes, my world will feel so much safer!

 

[TheMorningStar]

This is so sad. What will happen to that poor child? Needing special care for life, who will take care of this little girl?

 

[nurseronda]

nurseronda, you're the shit, if anyone ever starts fucking with me, can I just give you a call? If you say yes, my world will feel so much safer!

Sure anytime.
My daughter remembers this day as the day her mom saved her and still talks about it. I was only doing my job as a mom to keep my kids safe.

All right, from now on, whenever the subject comes up, I'm going to say, "nurseronda is my mom!" (Even though I suspect I am a bit older than you. I'll say, let's see...yeah, I've had some medical problems that have aged me before my time!)

 

[carol13]

this makes me sad. My 2-year-old makes me so happy. I'm amazed by everything she does. Even when she is bad (which isn't often) I have a hard time scolding her because she's so little and so sweet. My husband wouldn't dream of hurting our daughter, but if he did, he KNOWS without me ever saying it, he would not see the next day. Kill that dumb cunt of a mom...if you could let some asshole beat your baby like that, you are broken, and the world should be spared having to ever look at you again.

fuck.... when did we stop taking an eye for an eye? I think if we were to beat him to death with hard plastic and cords it would send just the message I'm looking for.

We already knew this but the coroner confirms that Darisabel had been beaten before.....

[swivel]

I wonder what kind of controller it was. It had a cord, so it wasn't a Wii. Could have been a recharge cable for a PS3 or a 360. I just hope it wasn't one of the original XBox's. You know, the "Duke". That thing was fucking massive.

 

[michelle]

Why is justice "invisible" when it comes to kids.
So now this is murder and accomplice to murder.
Maybe girls and boys at the onset of puberty should be implanted with a birth control device which can only be taken out after they have passed a parental/IQ exam.
I hate this bitch. Fuck this cocksucker. I would personally like to ram "the DUKE controller down his gullet.
Another tiny casket in the ground.

Mom is being charged with homicide....

http://yorkdispatch.inyork.com/yd/local/ci_9771007

From article:

The mother of a 2-year-old child who was beaten to death is now charged with homicide, accused of doing nothing to save her daughter from repeated abuse, allegedly at the hands of the woman's boyfriend.

Neida Elizabeth Baez, 20, was originally charged with endangering the welfare of her daughter, Darisabel Baez, and has been held in York County Prison since April 7 on $100,000 bail.


But Wednesday, York City Detective First Class Dana Ward withdrew that charge and filed a new set of documents charging Baez with homicide and endangering the welfare of a child, according to District Judge Richard Martin II.


Martin said he arraigned Baez at 1 p.m. Wednesday via video teleconference so she did not have to be transported from prison. He then revoked her bail, he said.

DA is trying to amend death penalty notice

Based upon new testimony, they're looking to add another reason to why they're seeking the death penalty. An excerpt from the article:

Friday's pretrial hearing before Judge Michael J. Brillhart was to put Ross's testimony on the record. Prosecutors Timothy Barker and Christopher Moore have asked to amend their death penalty notice to include aggravated indecent assault as an aggravating circumstance for the death penalty.

The commonwealth's initial death penalty notice filed last year listed "torture" and Darisabel's age as aggravating circumstances.

Ross testified that photographs taken of Darisabel at York Hospital, where she was admitted April 6, 2008, revealed specific injuries to the child's genitalia.

Ross said he observed the injuries during the April 8, 2008, autopsy but that the photos, when enlarged, clearly showed fingernail marks in that area. Ross said the position and amount of marks showed Darisabel had been pinched repeatedly.

I'm sure that having a mom who sticks up for you is the difference between coming through an abuse situation with self-esteem and and a sense of worth versus feeling like you have no value to anyone. I wish all moms were like you, Nurseronda.

Sadly, this child didn't make it through her abuse situation. These people do suck -- big time. I read through this and was shocked. It's just sickening. And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, the new information from Sherrz. I hope they both rot.

RIP Darisabel.

Sure anytime.

I promise you, I still remember that my mother sat back and watched (on repeated occasions) whilst my step-father, her new husband, beat the shit out of me.

When he broke my nose, gave me a black eye, and busted open my lip, (as well as bruising me all over my body) my mother was standing in the door way watching him. I could see her the entire time. My then 3 year old brother (who unfortunately was the cause of this particular beating, because he stole something from me, and I took it back, so he cried) was more courageous than my mother, yelling and screaming and trying to get his father to stop hitting me. Afterwards, my brother sobbed with me for a long time, and just kept saying "I'm sorry Jessi." This was nearly 18 years ago, and I still remember it in horrifying detail.

I was 11. He was a full grown man in his 30's, ex-cop.

I spoke to my mom's new boyfriend about this incident years ago. And he told me I could be certain that words were said to the Step-Father later, in between two adults. Words. Words that didn't stop the abuse that fucker inflicted on me and my sister just about every time he saw us. I got the brunt of most of it, thankfully, because I think I would have snapped and killed him if any of my siblings got more of the abuse than the mostly verbal shit. (But my mother never stopped the abuse on any of us. Why should she? She was neglectful and abusive as well, but to a much smaller degree than her bastard ex-husband. And yes, mental and emotional abuse are still abuse.)

I needed more than words. I need her to be a mom and protect me from her asshole of a husband. I never could understand how someone could sit there and watch *any* child get attacked like that, repeatedly, and not do anything about it. But I guess that I'm hyper-sensitive because of all the shit that happened to me when I was younger. If I see abusive behavior now, it makes me lose my mind. It makes me immediately want to both protect the victim and kill the abuser.

Anyways, this got way longer than I expected. Kudos to you NurseRhonda. You're a real mother. And your daughter is very lucky to have you as a parent.

I hope that they fry both of these fuckers. She's just as guilty as he is, because she didn't do anything to stop him. She forfeited her right to exist in society at the very least, as did the monster who killed that baby.

Actually, the only thing my mom and step-father managed to accomplish was a gigantic "Us against them" feeling amongst the kids. I was in charge most of the time because Mom slept all the time, and when she wasn't sleeping she was going insane screaming and throwing tantrums and coming after us. My response to the abuse was to get very angry. When I was younger, and still living there, there was a long period of time when I was very depressed, and even suicidal. But you know what, those were great times, when none of the adults were around. When it was just us kids in the house, we usually did very well. I still have more of a parent than a sister role for my two brothers because of all this shit (and more years of stupidity that aren't particularly relevant in this thread. But let's just say that once I turned 18, my mother's abuse stopped. Because she couldn't hit me anymore without getting arrested, and I kept myself in between her and those kids.)

Kaylara -- it's sobering to read your account about the beating you took as a child (sounds like it was one of many). I'm so sorry your childhood was such a tough one. I'm amazed that you are able to find some happy memories amidst the strife. Thank goodness you had/have your sister and brothers -- and they had you.

God bless you.

In this article, the mother states....

....that Johnson has been physically abusive toward the child for the past couple of months, and that he had beaten and bitten the girl and left numerous marks and cuts on her body, according to court records....

http://www.whtm.com/news/stories/0408/509431.html?040708

Stupid bitch.

WTF she knew he was abusive to her little girl and stayed with him? I don't get this. I have been a single mom since my youngest was 1 month old, he is 11 years old now. I kicked his dad out the day he decided to lay his hands on the oldest because he was mad at me. He went to jail and yes I pressed charges and divorced his ass. There is no man that would ever come before my kids. I just broke off a 5 year relationship because he got into it with my oldest, and my oldest is 22 years old now, but still comes over any penis. This shit makes my so angry. I hope they both suffer brutal beatings daily for the rest of their miserable lives.

If there is a God, if there is ANY justice in this world, then these two bastards, these vile, despicable scum P'sOS will get the death penalty. They will die, but something will go wrong and it will be a slow, agonising death and they will suffer hugely.

That is my wish.

Yeah, I'm ready for the trial to start... I might call the courthouse on Monday and see if the trial is open to the public so I can maybe try to go in one day and take a timelog to post here.

Ohh Poor baby, Harve doesnt want the death Penalty. Should have thought about that before you BEAT little Darisabel to death, FuckTard

Harve Lamar Johnson, accused of brutally beating to death of his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter, has filed a lengthy pre-trial challenge to the charges against him, incriminating statements he allegedly made to police and the constitutionality of the death penalty.

Darisabel Baez died April 6, 2008, the day after her second birthday.

Johnson, 27, is charged with first-degree murder and is subject to life in prison without parole or the death penalty if convicted.

Darisabel's mother, Neida Elizabeth Baez, 20, is charged with homicide for allegedly failing to intervene and protect her child. The commonwealth is not seeking the death penalty against her.

Johnson's and Baez's cases are consolidated. No trial date has been set but the pair is scheduled for a hearing on their pre-trial motions later this month.
Baez has asked for the homicide charges against her to be dismissed for lack of evidence.

She also is asking to be tried separately from Johnson.

Johnson also is seeking a separate trial and has asked that his first-degree murder charge be dismissed for lack of evidence.

In his pre-trial petition, Johnson is asking the court to bar:

Medical testimony that Darisabel was subjected to torture and allegedly suffered prior injuries;

The death penalty as cruel and unusual punishment and therefore unconstitutional;

Statements he allegedly made to police including, "I beat her yesterday pretty bad with a belt."
Johnson also raises an argument over the "inherent bias of a death-qualified jury" which is "less likely to consider mitigating evidence" and is "predisposed toward the prosecution."

Under state law, the commonwealth can strike any potential juror in a capital murder case for cause who admits he or she could not or would not return a death sentence regardless of the evidence.

Sick bastards. I hope he gets the death penalty and the mother gets life in prison, although I believe they both deserve death.
I do not doubt that abuse was ongoing before this horrific incident. They were in the presence of such utter perfection and beauty, yet they failed to see it.

I hope this is all he can think of as he dies.
Be it the death penalty or life in prison, just fucking die you waste of pathetic space, loser, baby killer!!!
The mother is already dead to me. She is no mother.

You had the sweetest light Darisabel, beautiful child....an angel amongst angels.

 

[sherrz]

He fucking beat her with an ORIGINAL x-box controller... Not a 360 controller, but the original behemoth of a controller. I'd like to take one of those fucking conrollers and beat the shit out of him with it. This just makes me so mad because at the time when this all unraveled, it had occurred not even 10 minutes from my apartment. And people were actually holding vigils for the parents.
