[Sugar Cookie]

According to an earlier press release, Demetres Givens, 42, and Jamie Thompson, 37, were wanted by the Canton Police Department for involuntary manslaughter and endangering children.

Officials said, on May 5, Canton Police responded for a report of a child that was found in bed not breathing. The child was later pronounced at the hospital. A cause of death was not released.

The child was a boy.

They both look like they died and were dug up.

His hair was pretty luxurious in this pic.


He pumped this buffalo at some point.

He definitely has a preference.

They have a child together that was born in July 2024.

The child they killed must have been his because the only child that they have posted who would be around 4 now is a child that has two Black parents.

Her older children are teens.

You just know they're together because no one else would have them.

The gofundme says the child was starved and neglected after he was removed by CPS from the mother and placed in the home of Givens and Thompson.

Givens must be related in someway to the child since the mother did not want the child placed in this home.

Until all the facts come in it is will be hard to decipher what really happened.

There appears to an article that may have more information but it is behind a paywall.

Legally kidnapped? It does happen all too often I am afraid. If mom said NOT to put her child with that family member then CPS should of headed that advice-the guy was the mom's BROTHER and she did not want her child w/ him/them, she knew her brother better than CPS and Mom obviously had her reasons for not wanting her small child in her brothers care, CPS should of listened. At a MINIMUM they should of been doing check ins, to starve to death is painful and torturous, poor baby. Have to follow this story

RIP Baby Berko

I would agree about Oil of Olay-my mom has been using that at least my whole life (I am 50) she is pushing 80 and easily passes for like 60-it's the lack of wrinkles-she uses it everyday!!!

My Mom (82) has always used Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil for her moisturizer. Her face is like a glass baby's butt! It's annoying because that stuff makes me feel claustrophobic! That stuff's only $10.49 at Target!

They were the adoptive parents of the child and Demetres Givens was the uncle of the child on the mother's side.

According to court documents, the adoptive mother, Jamie Thompson, and adoptive father, Demetres Givens, had starved the child to the point where he was malnourished for months.

Once the child started showing signs of his malnutrition, the couple cancelled various appointments with medical professionals, which ultimately led to his death. The cause was determined to be starvation.

“It’s unimaginable,” the biological mother of the 3-year-old, Myracle Givens, said. “I never would have thought that I would see my older brother, a person that I grew up with since I was a baby, on the news, for something like this regarding one of my children.”

Myracle had lost custody of her children after domestic issues with her previous partner, and since 3-year-old Berko Givens was born after her children were rehomed, Berko was placed into foster care.

Did you actually read the whole thread? You're new here soo..I'll ignore you

It's kind of what we do here. Welcome to the Den. I was the one that spoke about Oil of Olay, so please don't take your ire out on @the cat did it, they were just playing along to my snark. A great many of us here at Dreamin' Demon have overcome monstrous childhoods, hating on abusers is our jam. We care about the victims here, not the perps. So a snarky comment about an abuser is, for the most part, quite welcome here. If that bothers you I'm sorry. We hope you'll stick around to discover that even snark can be a cathartic thing. It might be shocking at first, but you'll soon discover that our hearts, and minds, are actually in the right place. With the victims.

The bio-mom does not appear to be mentally all there. She claims she has a child in her custody.

Wonder if it will ever be released why Berko was not in her custody.

The sentences are very disappointing! Starvation takes time, it sounds like they cancelled appointments to hide his condition !

how can anyone starve another one till death i will never understand that ... what an awful awful way to go ... just sitting there and hearing their cries till they can't cry anymore till their poor bodies just give up all the while stuffing your own face grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and it is murder as any kid of about 7 will know you don't feed something living be it plants (water them) animals or people they die... so it is murder plain and simple and yes premeditated murder for any adult to starve a living being........ children are growing and as such needs food and drinks more often that a grown adult (i have lived for years on one meal a day because i can't eat unless hungry but that is just me) i am now 80+y.o. and in good health and have been eating just one meal a day since wow for 60+ years but my kids (including fosters) ate 3 meals a day and snacks and when in their teens when it was "no time for breakfast" i always made them take breakfast bars to eat on their way to school ...
