LaHeather Wilson left her baby in the car overnight

[Unamused Cat]

CEDAR HILL ― Child Protective Services will be placing two Cedar Hill brothers in foster care after their 7-month-old brother was found dead Wednesday morning. Police say the child was left in a car overnight.

The child's mother, LaHeather Wilson, has been charged with injury to a child and is now in jail. According to police, Wilson came home after picking her three boys up from daycare on Tuesday.

Police say she then parked her car in front of her house in the 1200 block of Brewer Road. She brought the three- and six-year-old boys inside, but police say she left the infant in his car seat.

When Wilson woke up Wednesday, she told police she went outside before 6 a.m. and found the boy. Police say she then ran to a neighbor, who tried to revive the infant without success.

"She was screaming my name, 'Ivery! Ivery! Come help me!' I'm very sad I couldn't help her. I couldn't help the baby. I wish I could have, but I couldn't," said Ivery Croson, Wilson's neighbor.

Croson called 911. He said Wilson was frantic. "She was concerned he wasn't breathing and wasn't sure what happened," he said. "She had been taking medication for her leg."

The child's father was not home Tuesday night and did not arrive home until Wednesday morning. The family hasn't had any past involvement with CPS.

According to reports, the child was left in the car for as long as 11 hours. The Dallas County Medical Examiner has not released a cause of death.

The official overnight low at DFW International Airport Tuesday night was 50. At Dallas Executive Airport, which is closest to the house, the low was recorded at 49.

11 freaking hours???? She left a 7 month old baby in the car for at least 11 hours??? My Samantha is only 7 months old!! This had to have been done on purpose!! No way could she have "forgotten" the baby all night!!

I'll give you a cause of death right now, the baby either froze or cooked!!

Fucking stupid Whore!!!

Rest with God sweet baby........ Sigh.

 

[Unamused Cat]

I don't see how she could forget she didn't bring baby Christian inside, or give him a bath, or feed him before being tucked into bed for the night. Eleven freaking hours... 7pm, until almost 6am!

[Just my luck sucks]

Can hypothermia set in at 49 degrees? Perhaps something more happened here. Poor little guy--rest in peace baby boy.

 

[MadmamainNC]

LaHeather? OMG, the bitch had to have had an identity crisis. That's right up there with LaBetty or LaMaryJane

 

[lamexcore]

She must have just completely forgot like all the other wonderful mothers that leave their children in the car, and act totally shocked when they find them dead.

 

[Silvahalo]

No fucking way she forgot, nope, not buying it. You don't forget a baby for 11 hours. Not once you don't check on you baby??? liar. This woman killed her baby on purpose. Just maybe if she was drugged and high....still 11 hours.

This is about 4 hours from me. Central TX has been getting a lot of mixed weather. You can fry at one point then almost freeze the next day. Dallas definitely has colder nights than us, as we are more south central of Dallas. 11 hours is almost a half day. Even a day that hits high 70's almost 80's, and we have had those, this baby would easily faced 90 degree's inside the car. Couple that with dehydration, easy, this 7 month old baby would die...did die.

I'll never understand it. Never.

Rest in peace baby Christian, in the heavens...

 

[Misskittychaos]

First how could you "forget" a 7 month old? Now how could you with TWO OTHER CHILDREN there to say something to remind you of your child you left behind? At 3 and 6 years old you could try and tell me those boys didn't say something and I'd call you a liar. One or more likely BOTH had asked Mommy-dearest where the baby was. I call bullshit. Poor baby! I'll never understand the death by car, couch or violence these "parents" choose, so many people would love to love these children, to tuck them into a clean warm bed at night and read them a post bath, bedtime story but instead these children suffer at the hands of people like this winner here.

 

[seductress]

I'm wondering if the other kids said anything to mom about where the baby was. My kids ask all the time where the others are if they are not visable.

 

[MichaelJCheaney]

Who in the hell thinks its a good idea to name a kid after a store in the mall?

LaHeather Wilson= Wilsons Leather......

Just wondering....

I was thinking about this one last night after I posted, so today, I checked the weather archives for Dallas...

A cold frontal passage on the 23rd allowed for a chilly start for the 24th [Tuesday] with a low of 39 degrees, It was sunny and 67 for the high.

I remember that cold front, didn't phase us much but for Dallas the temps did get down in the 30's, not freezing but damn cold. So if baby was picked up and "forgotten" out in the car around 6pm stayed there until discovered in the a.m. around 5am, one source says 7am, but the 11 hour makes more sense around 5am. That would make baby exposed to extreme cold temps overnight. Yep, that could kill a 7 month old.

I'm thinking IF mother really did forget, she left baby sleeping in the car, got other children feed in bed, she retires goes to sleep and if she was on meds like the neighbor mentioned, for her leg, she MIGHT have slept far longer with intentions on getting baby after she slept a several hours. Even if this was the case, she's an idiot, cruel and her neglect caused this babies death.

I'm still of the belief that she left baby there to sleep and purposely left him there as she went to bed. She probably didn't want to deal with a crying baby that night, maybe he was sick with a cold having been keeping her up and wanted to sleep. I could see even out of her sheer stupidity, she would think, baby would wake then cry himself back to sleep no harm done. No way you look at this it doesn't make sense to me.

She might have not intended to kill the baby but I believe she knowingly left the baby in the car and didn't think baby would die....'cause she's an idiot and cruel.

So sorry baby boy....you deserved better.

The child's father was not home Tuesday night and did not arrive home until Wednesday morning. The family hasn't had any past involvement with CPS.

What kind of medication had she been taking? Did it have any effect?

If the motive is to get rid of the annoyance of kids, then there are two more. IMO a woman that might harmed one kid, would harm them all, that is if you believe that was her motive.

Are the two other kids (3 and 6 years-old) raising nine kinds of hell and distracting her to a point that she did forget this child in the car seat?

Police arrested Wilson and charged her for injury to a child. Child Protective Services took custody of her other two children, ages 3 and 6 years old.
Police are still investigating the incident.

Did this fall into the category of, "a child is dead, someone has to go to jail" situations after a horrible accident? The charges so far are injury to a child. By most standards, that is a fairly weak charge when a child is dead. Could it be that the on scene investigators see this as an accident with a horrible outcome?

I pulled the address on Google Earth and the neighborhood is a very nice middle class neighborhood. The kids were at day care, so two things are known, she is not a full time care giver and she works a day job. Given the cost of daycare in this area, she is not working some menial job, so she is more than likely a somewhat responsible person.

Finding the child at 6am suggest her day starts pretty early, did she noticed the child missing from the home prior to that and in a search, find him in the car? There was no mention of her "finding the child as she left for work".

If the child was found at 6am and had been in the car as much as 11 hours, that means she didn't arrive home until 7pm. That suggest a very long day on Tuesday. Was there a trip to the grocery store in there to put her home so late in the day? Was she dealing with groceries, two young kids, and who knows what else when she arrived home?

After she got inside the home, was she dealing with two wild kids that drew her attention? She has to make a meal for the kids, maybe do some laundry, maybe a 100 other task that she has to get done, all distractions.

How many have had this thought before when caring for an infant "oh, he/she is sleeping and I don't want to wake her/him, I've got a lot going on right now and that is one less thing to deal with"?

Sorry, I can't jump on the "kill the bitch" bandwagon just yet.

Gimme more information.

Now, now...we shouldn't rule out 'eaten by satanic door-opening garden gnomes' just yet.

I think the story is believable from her perspective, but even if I were drowsy, I wouldn't 'forget' my kid in a car. Well, maybe if he/she were a little punk and like 5 years old. :lollypop:

 

[Peeperann]

Oh honestly, I raised six kids and would have noticed if one of mine were missing. And I never left any of them in a car for 2 minutes, let alone 11 hours!!

And mine raised all kinds of hell. That would be a pathetic excuse if she tries to use that one. She's a stupid bitch who left her 7 month old baby in car overnight and he died! She killed him end of story.

Uuh, yeah, sure we all think that thought as we are so damn busy and don't want to disturb a sleeping baby. But never do you FORGET a baby for 11 hours over this scenario, like I said even with meds, 11 hours is a lot and with 2 other children to care for, no way in fuck she just forgot for the whole damn night....nope, she's a liar and and think she left baby on purpose, may have not intended baby to die but she was neglectful and cruel and that lead to babies death.

You don't have to jump on the wagon to see something ain't right here, I call BS on this all over the damn place.

I can't wait to know more on this one, I think I won't be surprised.

 

[Tazzzz]

Dude next next door who helped was a cop.

Wow, 11 hours, I bet her damn purse wasnt still in the car. LaHeather sure has allot of prople sticking up for her, but they offer not one shred of reason for the baby being left out side except to mention the pain pills. WHoopty dingy doo, even if the 2 older kids already had dinner, there not old enough to get dressed for bedtime. When was she planning to go back and get the infant when it was originially left in the car??? I dont know about every one else here but I tried like hell not to let my infant or toddler get to much sleep before bed time. If I ever wanted to get some sleep that night.

Also , this isn't just I forgot my kid in the car over night, its I forgot to feed him ( 2 times) , I forgot to change him ( 2 or 3 times) , I forgot to give him a bath. there is a ton of stuff she forgot to do. Even distracted by the 2 other kids it doesn't make any sense at all.

Wilson realized early Wednesday morning that she had left Christian in the car after returning from day care the previous evening, said Cedar Hill police spokesman Corky Brown. She found the child unresponsive in the car outside their home in the 1200 block of Brewer Drive, near East Belt Line Road.

Wilson asked a Dallas police officer who lives nearby to help her. The officer gave the child CPR, and someone called 911. Christian was pronounced dead at the scene.

I don't understand how you can forget that your 7 month old is in the car. I heard that she was on pain meds because she has an injured knee. She was wearing a knee brace. Flimsy excuse. If you are that f***ed up then you do not need to be driving at all or taking care of your kids. In this instance I think she needs to be charged with murder.

Just an FYI regarding baby daddy.
He is on parole. His parole is 15 years.
Pretty long time for parole.
Daddy must have been an over-achiever.

I'm sure you will ALL be shocked to hear that this "great" mother has a rap sheet in Dallas County prior to yesterday's incident. Ohhh and look - she plead guilty to a DWI. Guess maybe it's not her fault after all.. blame it on the alcohol. What a loser

Posted by Tirya

The radio this morning said when she got home she took some medication for her leg (I think it was). If the meds were so powerful that they would make her able to not register that she was only putting 2 kids to bed instead of 3, then maybe she shouldn't have been trying to take care of them alone

I can tell you that the father, my co-worker was at work last night and that was the reason that he was not there. Now I cannot explain to you why this happened,

Tazzz, you are freaking awesome!!! roud2:

 

[Silvahalo]

She should be left to sit in a car for 11 hours under the same conditions....strapped in the car, can't move, can do shit for herself, hungry, cold, her cries go unheeded. Give her a taste of what that baby went through. Still it wouldn't be the same, as she wouldn't die from the experience.

You suck woman, cruel and heartless.

How do you forget a baby...your baby?! WTF. I can't go an entire hour without thinking about my boys. I can't believe this was an accident. No way. No excuse.

Mom took hydrocodone and drank chardonnay before picking baby up from daycare

A Cedar Hill woman told police she took prescription pain killers and drank chardonnay before she picked up her 7-month-old son from day care, left him in the car outside her home and then "blacked out" on her couch Tuesday night.

When Laheather Sacha Wilson, who has a history of alcohol-related violations, woke up and found her son unresponsive in her car Wednesday morning, she did not call 911. Instead, she called four other numbers over roughly 15 minutes before she frantically asked a Dallas police officer who lives next door for help.

The veteran officer determined almost immediately that Christian Micah Wilson was dead.

"The poor little fella didn't have a chance at life," the officer, Senior Cpl. Ivery Croson, said Thursday. "I really wish I could have helped her."

Wilson, 35, remained in the Dallas County Jail late Thursday on a charge of injury to a child-reckless, a second-degree felony. Her bail was set at $100,000. She declined a request to be interviewed.

According to public records, Wilson pleaded guilty in Dallas County to a 2007 charge of driving while intoxicated. She also was cited for public intoxication in Cedar Hill once in 2007 and again in 2008, according to records.

According to police documents, Wilson told police that she was prescribed the pain medication hydrocodone on Sunday for complications with her knee. She took one pill Tuesday morning before work and two more at about 4 p.m. before leaving work, she told police.

"[Wilson] said on her way home from work, she stopped at a gas station in the City of Duncanville and purchased an unknown amount of Sutter Home Chardonnay," the documents stated.

Wilson drank some of the chardonnay when she got home about 5:30 p.m., took one more pill and then left to pick up Christian and his two brothers, ages 3 and 6, from day care, according to the documents.

She told police that when she got home, she took Christian's diaper bag and went inside the house with her two other children. Christian was left strapped in his car seat inside the white Plymouth parked along the 1200 block of Brewer Drive, near East Belt Line Road.

Wilson told police "that after she finished her glass of chardonnay, she immediately had a sharp pain in her injured knee and sat down on the couch in the living room."

The next thing she remembered is waking up at 6:45 a.m. Wednesday and discovering that Christian was not in his playpen. So she checked the house and then went outside to her car, where she found her son unconscious and cold to the touch.

But Wilson did not immediately call 911.

Instead, she told police that she took Christian inside and took off his clothes to see whether he was breathing. She then searched for her cellphone but couldn't find it. So she went next door to Croson's house and asked to borrow his phone.

Croson said that Wilson looked as if something was wrong when she first came over but that she didn't mention anything about her son.

Wilson took Croson's phone to her house and dialed four different numbers in roughly 15 minutes before she went back to Croson's house. At that point, she seemed frantic, Croson said.

"My baby's not breathing! My baby's not breathing!" she said. "Can you help me?" Croson found Christian wearing a diaper and T-shirt and wrapped in a blanket on the couch. He checked for signs of life, called 911 and attempted CPR.

It was too late. Christian was pronounced dead at the scene.

WTF. She didn't call 911 for 15 minutes and asked to borrow a phone but didn't say shit about the baby? Oh, she knew she killed him and was calling everyone she knew in a panic, trying to figure out what to do. Heinous bitch.

 

[Harley_Tech]

Oh honestly, I raised six kids and would have noticed if one of mine were missing. And I never left any of them in a car for 2 minutes, let alone 11 hours!!

And mine raised all kinds of hell. That would be a pathetic excuse if she tries to use that one. She's a stupid bitch who left her 7 month old baby in car overnight and he died! She killed him end of story.

Funny how every thread becomes about your personal experience.

I know you're perfect Peep and have never made any sort of mistake, but the rest of us poor mortal souls do from time to time make mistakes, even ones that cause kids to die.

Fact is it happens often enough that some folks decided it was a good idea to create an educational web site http://www.kidsandcars.org and try to help prevent it from happening. NASA engineers decided it happens enough to design sensors to help prevent it.

I Thank them all for not being so short sighted as to think any time this happens the driver or parent must be at fault.

Spend some time reading.

How do you 'forget' how many children you have? She is a stupid cunt who drank herself into oblivion, helped along by pain meds, and left her infant son to die in her car. She couldn't be bothered with a cranky infant that night, so she just conveniently 'forgot' that she had another kid!

According to police documents, Wilson told police that she was prescribed the pain medication hydrocodone on Sunday for complications with her knee. She took one pill Tuesday morning before work and two more at about 4 p.m. before leaving work, she told police.

She knows she has to pick up her sons from day care, yet she still takes her pain meds and combines them with alcohol. She is just fucking lucky that she didnt wreck her car and kill all three of her sons!!!! This stupid, self-absorbed, selfish cunt killed her baby son. She picked him up from daycare and then left him alone, strapped into his carseat, for 11 fucking hours until he died. She desreves to be stoned to death!!!!!

That poor baby, crying for his mamma. Just left there to die because she had a poorly knee. Or maybe she thought she had enough boys and wanted to punish him for not being a girl.

Fucking bitch.

None of us good mothers are perfect, far fucking from it, and we know that is not attainable, but we try, try and try. What makes us better than this bitch, and far, far less likely to have a child die under these circumstances, is the fact that a good mother wouldn't knowingly take perscription pain killers AND alcohol. She had a history of abuse violating drugs and alcohol so that gives her a history of irresponsibility. This wasn't a onetime, "OMG, I can't believe I did that, situation.

If she felt overwhelmed, as all good moms do from time to time, she should have called someone for help. Reading the circumstances, yeah, I can see how she passed out, and probably had no real intentions of leaving baby out to die, but she knowingly took the concoction. That makes her an irresponsible, pathetic excuse for a mother. She is guilty, guilty. Knowingly and willfully drank under the influence of drugs killed her baby. KILLED. There are no do overs. She has to live with that for the rest of her useless life not to mention explaining that one to her other two kids.

Rest in peace baby Christian Micah Wilson.

I really don't care if you ignore everything else I posted, just go read all five pages of this link http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...2/27/AR2009022701549.html?sid=ST2009030602446

The entire point is that before those details you quoted were available, you were very comfortable assigning the same level of guilt.

Truth be told, anyone that has that same What makes us better than this bitch attitude, is probably MORE likely to have it happen to them.

Do yourself and your kids a favor, read the link.

I read the link and I agreed with you until I saw that she had waited 15 minutes to call 911, and called 4 other numbers before that. Do you remember the Adrian Vladimir Womble-Kurtz story? Dad got into an argument with mom and forgot baby in car for a couple hours and he died? I am still friends with the mom Samantha on MySpace.

Accidents do happen, but this was no accident. She knew better than to mix wine with painkillers, and she knew when she woke up and saw him she was in deep shit. 11 hours. I have to think she either left him on purpose in the car to not listen to his yelling or she took way more pills than she admitted. That is why she is neglecful and fully at fault for this.

 

[Harley_Tech]

I read the link and I agreed with you until I saw that she had waited 15 minutes to call 911, and called 4 other numbers before that.

Are you sure you read that entire story? Did you miss the part where those two actions are VERY COMMON in these situations?

R

 

[Nell]

I know they are very common Harley, why would I lie to you about reading the link. She panicked, I get that. But I had a prescription drug problem at one time, bad enough to go to rehab twice and I am serious, 11 hours is way too long to not wake up once. Prescription meds wear off after about 4 hours. So either she was more drugged than she admits or she just didn't care enough to get the baby out of the car.

I am sure she didn't mean for him to die but he did due to her negligence. I never said she meant for him to die but you need to keep all your facilities about you when you are the sole caretaker for 3 kids. And panic cannott explain her not telling the cop next door that she needed help, at the very least.
