Krystal Krause doesn't have custody of son but she does visit...he's in critical care

[krystalk84]

Your right I was forced to grow up really fast when I lost my son. But that summer was by far the worst one of my life and if that didnt kill me I dont know what will. You see, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer that same week that my son died. And then I find out that my dad's mother passed away. Earlier that summer my parents neighbor, who I saw as a grandmother figure since I didnt have one around in my life since I was 12, passed away and my son's paternal grandmother passed away as well. I had kept in contact with her even though his father wasnt around. I still celebrate my son's birthday and I buy him elmo stuff. I sleep with his bumble bee raddle bear and I talk to him and I tell people about him and I still have a hard time believing that this is my life. That this happened to me. That I gave birth to a beautiful baby who is no longer alive. I was told when I was 15 I wasnt going to be able to have babies. So was his father. And I was blessed with a miracle baby and I miss it. But I just remember the good times and it gets me through another day

Krystal, I thank you for admitting your mistakes, but how did it happen that YOU DIDN'T FIND HIM IN TIME?! Why were YOU not the one who found him? How did enough time go by for him to drown if all you did was go inside to get your phone? It takes more than a minute for a child to drown to the point of brain death. Where were you all that time? And why would you leave a toddler by a pool alone at all? You couldn't put him on your hip and take him inside with you? Sorry, guys, but there is something off about her version of what happened.Yeah, I am pissed at her. Her baby died because of her screw-ups and she comes on here to defend herself but still isn't giving the whole story. R.I.P., little one. You will be in my prayers tonight.

Im sorry you feel that way and I understand. but I didnt take my son outside when I went to grab my phone. I was in the kitchen and went into the living room. My son was in the house went I turned my back. My dad came home from work early that is why he found him and not me. And like I had said before there are still things I am unsure of as well as everyone else.

I Googled how long it would take for a child to drown to the point of brain-death. The answer I found was in 2 minutes they lose consciousness. In 4-6 minutes they are basically brain dead. How could you not know he was in the pool for that long? Why were YOU not the one who found him? Were where you while he was in the pool? I am really sorry you lost your baby and maybe in time you will reach a point where you feel able to have another child. I kind of hope you do, because you seem to truly regret losing him. I don't think you killed him on purpose but I do think you aren't giving the full story. I would like to talk to you more about this, as it seems you have nobody to help you. I am on FB. I will send you a friend request. Initials are PDH

Hey Krystal. You still online?

2 minutes.. Hold your breath, now look at the clock on your computer. 2 minutes is a long time when you do not have air. Now, look at your clock. Go to the farthest room in your house pick up something and say this paragraph. "Hello? {is this anybody} Yes, this is me. {Do you have a moment to learn about Encyclopedia Briticanna} No, I can't talk right now. I will have to call you back. {My number is 123.456.789} Thank you for calling. Good bye. " Now go back to your computer. I am sure that took about 4 minutes. You would not be in a hurry because there is no real reason to be. I know that accidents happen. I am so glad this thread did not go south.

What I wanted to put out there, was that with several adults, a bunch more children of every age range; the worst still happened....

This. This exact story is why we've never had alcohol available at the kids swim parties. We must be on our game at all times.

Although my example is not life or death, let me put it to you this way:

Every morning we leave at a certain time. For some reason, backpack, purse, sunglasses & keys take much longer than a person would think, even if they are located near each other. We leave at 7am....get all that stuff, walk to the car in the driveway, turn it on - look at the clock.....4 minutes have passed. What?? Forever I cannot figure out why it takes us 4 minutes to get out the door & moving. 4 minutes is actually a small amount of time.
I have done what Krystal has done, my only saving grace was probably our chain locks on the doors and pool fence.

ya know what? sometimes we are just lucky as parents. i say this because i have a daughter that was an amazing escape artist at the ages of three and four...(at four she was supposed to be taking a nap, opened her window, shimmied down, went to the side of the triplex, moved a bucket under her window so she could get back in, and then walked 2 blocks to the park.) this was all done silently as i was a whole 15 feet away in the living room. needless to say, after 3 calls and 13 police cars were dispatched she was actually brought to me by my bil's (at the time) friend who was younger than i, had a calmer head, and assumed she was at the park. police were there at the same time and escorted both of them to my house. anything can happen in a second. it is only after it has that you realize
it. thank you for being here @krystalk84, and i am sorry for your loss.

Ah, shit. This right here.... reached around my cold heart and squeezed. It made me have an emotion.

 

[krystalk84]

I dont get on facebook too much because there are so many people that I used to think of as a friend and I found out that everyone of them was running my name through the mud in that town. And there is no reason for me to continue to give them the ability to keep finding me.

 

[justfedup]

Tell them to fuck off Krystal if they find you. You paid many times over for a mistake. End of story.

Hi i am not sure if you guys on here are aware of this or not but if you had questions about this case you really should ask the right people questions. That was me. And that was my son. The first problem wad they made alot of errors when typing that article. I was about to take my son outside. He was 3 and got into things. I did not have custody i let my parents have temp guardianship of him that turned into them adopting. That was because i had came to see that i was not going to be able to raise my son and i knew my parents could. They asked so i said yes. And all i did was go into the living room to get my phone. My son was not left alone for 15 min. And as for anyone who is mad at me. I spent 2 years in prison for this accident that could have happened to anyone including my parents but i am the one who has to live with the pain of knowing that i was irresponsible and that caused the loss of my baby's life. I should have gotten 15 and even that would not have been enough. I beat myself up everyday for it. So no matter how you feel or what you say just know this... no one in the whole world can punish me more then what i do everyday of my life. And no one can possibly be more mad then i do at myself just as much. But all i ask is if you are goi.g to say something about someone you knew nothing about please get the facts first.

I feel like we're not getting the whole story here. First, your sentence seems high for an accidental death. Second, why would everyone shun you for an accidental death. Last, mom and pop stores don't do background checks half the time, so the "I can't find work" seems sketchy. What are you leaving out? Not trying to be rude, just want the WHOLE story. If you're going to come here and defend yourself, expect to be scrutinized.

I couldn't agree more and we didn't get the whole story cuz it's 2026 and she killed a 2nd son of hers. She didn't want to work as you're absolutely correct most places don't do a background check. Her 1st story didn't make sense cuz it took her fat ass 15 minutes to just get her phone. And when something doesn't make sense it's clearly bullshit. I wonder what embarrassing story she has now for falling asleep and sufferocating her couple months old baby. I wanna hear the crock of shit on a 2nd kid killed. She never should've left prison the 1st time. Her parents that had custody of the kid, obvious her fat ass and the system all failed this 2nd poor baby
