well…..all you guys should just sit back and read what you wright before you do it. i’m not saying either of you are wrong because there are some very good and bad comments here as well as right and wrong. okay…at 21 not one of you should say she is not matured enough to have kids becuase kids come here maturing younger and younger everyday in this world. she may not be mature enough to have kids..true, but she def knew what she was doing. Any 21 year old can have kids just as well as a 30 year old and make a better mom. AGE DOESN’ T DEFINE A GOOD MOTHER; KNOWLEDGE DOES. And non of you are to judge what happens to this girl, only god can do this.

no one is a perfect mom and never will be.IF her mother,father,sister or brother or the kids father knew she was mental and was helping her out with these kids do you honestly think they would have been left in a home with no lights,no water, and as crazy as it sound,left for 3 days alone.Unless all of them were mental!!!

IN RE: Cherie Ward………… In your post calling people ignorant and telling them to shut thier mouth because we question this situation is uncalled for and ignorant in itself.
You seem to forget or maybe not comprehend that this website is not available for you belittle, harass, and insult BUT to be informed and to be able to post educated, respectful opinions on “THE STORY” without being insulted with ignorance.
I think we ALL agree that this is a very sad story, 3 precious little babies being abused & neglected leaving 1 dead and YES we do ask where the FATHER and other relatives of these babies have been while they lay starving to death!!!! It is a very FAIR question.
At 21 years old, you should now be mature enough to know what is important here and that is What we can do to help put a stop to child abuse.

The relatives said they knew she was unstable, but none checked on these kids. But I bet now they will all be fighting over who gets them so they can collect the welfare checks for them. None of the family deserves to get these kids, and certainly not the father.. SAD, SAD, SAD.. They need to go in a good loving home to someone who can make them forget what they have been through, and no contact with any of that family.

after reading coments I now wonder this;
if this lady suffers from mental illness, and her family knows this, then why on earth would she retain custody, care and control over these children? I am led to believe that the mental illness is severe, as it appears to be mentioned to try and justify this outcome? if it was not severe mental illness why would it even be mentioned? is this the early court defense being established in the community? what ever it is, it will not bring back that little girl, and this lady definately needs help as her judgement is obviously very seriously impaired.

First of all to all of you ignorrant people talking about where was the father, where was the grandma, where was DCF, shut your mouth. I don’t care what that lady’s situation was, SHE was the stupid idiot that left her kids alone for 3 days. Animals take better care of their young. No one is to blame but the mom, and I think they should but her in a house with no electricity and just wait until she dies. She doesn’t even deserve to be thrown in a trash can. People like this should never be allowed to have children, she actually doesn’t deserve to live. I seriously cannot stand people like this. I’m 21 and I have a 2 year old. I’m a great mom and always have been, there is no reason why anyone should be so stupid. I hope they kill the mom.

Where were the Grandparents at the time. I always keep in contact with my grandchildren. I believe that the Granddad was called to go over there. I wish someone could have helped her. I do not believe hat she was doing was right but at least she was trying to work, What could she not get help like every one else why was she not getting food stamps? Sounds like the system failed her and the children.

To all of you people crying that DCF did not do their job:

First of all if DCF was out there before what did they see????? We don’t know. They could have been called out for bruises. And when they were there before there could have been power and water. If DCF took away ALL of the children that they investigate there will be hundreds or more kids without parents. I only hope that if DCF was out there before she was given a warning.

A person takes weeks to die of malnutrition. It was probably the heat that killed this poor little girl.

But, what is really sick is that the mother cared so little for her child that she put her in the trash, like she was nothing but garbage. Then she lied and said that the kids were missing. But knowing that one child had died the mother did not say anything for 12 hours to get help for the other two.

OMG…atmore—surely you did not mean what yousaid….”.Me and my family are close and i cant see any of my cousins staying in the home by themselves for 3 days,maybe a day but not for 3 days.” Surely you don’t think it is OK to leave children alone for a DAY…..Please, please, please tell me it ain’t so!!!! I feel guilty when I leave my CAT alone over nite!!!
Sorry folks, even if this mother grew up with no love, there are some things that people just know…like breath, eat, Even, someone was raised on a desserted island would know better…we all have animal instinct. My goodness, a 5 yr old child would know better than this. There is no excuse NONE.

And everyone who is taking the time to read or write these blogs, PLEASE . Email and/or write your lawmakers…this HORRIFIC type of behavior is happening in all states, until we demand better we won’t get better from DCF. Why doesn’t DCF have a watch dog??? Who are they accountable to??? We all need to demand better for America’s children, I have written many letters that go unanswered. Please don’t pray for better DEMAND better —that is what GOD gave us all big mouths for……so that we will take care of those who can not take care of them selves. Like these poor sweet children.
