I know several Brians, my son and husband and nephew. What has this got to do with the issue? And Iams, that's a dogfood brand.

DAYCARE  (by: protect our children  -   6/30/2009)

I have been reading the comments on this story since the initial arrest of Officer Parker. People are saying horrible things about everyone involved. In time I believe the TRUTH will come out. It is so easy for peple to sit back and make claims now - but if - people would have spoke up before and made complaints to the APD / DCF this could have been prevented. *** I heard about this daycare by friends who just thought it was wonderful. My child attended for only a short period. I pulled my child out due to injuries- my child was comming home almost daily with a new skinned knee, scratches, and even ant bites. I was never given a boo boo report to explain how the injuries occured, (which is mandated to be done if the injury occured at the daycare). Most of the time not even given a bandaid. When I picked my child up she was dirty. The playground area is rough concrete and they were allowing the children to push cars, with the child crawling on their hands and knees. One DCF report was mine. ******* Since this story I have looked up this daycare again and was sad to see that not much had changed - very upset with the reports of not enough staff to supervise the number of students. ( On 8/13/07 report 1 staff menber for 36 children. ) WE NEED TO STAND UP AND PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. I am very sad for the families that this has impacted.

got it right again. i guess were the crowd that uses common sense and look at the big picture. the other clowns are trying to spin this big time. there are potential business deals on this daycare are going down the tubes real fast.

to: g8rplmbr  (by: Me_in_AvonPark  -   6/29/2009)

You say you "know Jennifer" but you don't know she spells her name with one "n". You say she was "probably beat as well"... so, how much abuse to Jenifer makes it ok to let her daughter get beat too? I'll help you out. The answer is NONE. And if you "know Jennifer", then I assume you are a friend... then tell me... where were the INDICATIONS that she too was abused? There are always indications, be it physical or psychological. And that's what friends are for, to see those things. And once again I ask all you people who "know her": who is the FATHER!? Anyone know? Anyone at all?

  (by: Mandy Foster Lower  -   6/29/2009)

I know Linda Payne and she would never turn the other cheek when it comes to a child. She has children of her own. I can't stand all the judgement being passed. It is so easy to sit back and say what should or shouldn't have been done AFTER THE FACT. Linda we love you and support you.

we were right again...  (by: mrconservative  -   6/29/2009)

thank you no name for your inside details. partof5 and others are in on this deal financially or family ties. Ray Napper take your meds you need a shower hot shower. may the lord bless you.

Baby K  (by: sadd  -   6/29/2009)

Mrs Payne should tell truths

ABC  (by: No name  -   6/29/2009)

I also had my child enrolled in that daycare. I pulled her out after multiple times of picking my child up filthy with food and dirt all over her from head to toe and in a wet diaper. After expressing my concerns with the director, things still never changed. After that i pulled her out. I'm glad that i did because after hearing everything that i've heard that is disgusting. No child should be treated that way.

to:MRCONSERVATIVE  (by: Ray Napper  -   6/28/2009)

MRCONSERVATIVE, You almost found the cap lock key. Why would we need an outside investigation? People are being charged all over the place. I think we should let the legal system work and you think I'm wrong. Does that mean you know better than all those who have went before us? I think I'll stick to having organized laws on the books to prevent people like you from doing what they want, when they want. Now if I'm crazy for believing in the rule of law then yes I'll be proud to stand up and be counted. Please take your medication now and come back to earth. Yours and your ilks' comments are why I look for it to head to Bartow or farther. If you have a problem with the laws and bonds being set for bail then take it up with our lawmakers. Or do you just like to hear your own words? And I at least have the courage of my convictions to post under my name. I think we see your courage.

baby k  (by: max  -   6/28/2009)

so knucklehead I am amazed you named yourself that because that is definitly the name that fits you and your nasty comments....good job!

wow  (by: mom2525  -   6/28/2009)

I first want to say how sad this all is-just as so many people have already expressed. But I know 1st hand how shady that daycare is and this does not surprise me one bit. I hope people are rethinking having their children there, I did. what a shame

SOMETHING IS VERY UNDERHANDED  (by: MRCONSERVATIVE  -   6/28/2009)

The usual suspects are out and about again, the case becomes more disturbing day by day. Knucklehead and some others see the sitauation for what it is. Others like Ray Napper and partof5 have some invested interest in this case. A outside investigator needs to appointed. That this poor baby was murdered by hands of a bunch of losers. ''SICK'' . I NEVER MEET YOU BABY K, I LOVE YOU,

baby k  (by: charles becker  -   6/28/2009)

all of those responsable for her death should all go to prison with mandtory time to searve. day for a day. meaning no early release. also why were they alowed bonds. the xcop was not. they have him where they want him. under a heavy bond. that way he will be arownd for trial.

baby abuse  (by: mike tyson  -   6/28/2009)

if they are found guilty as charged. all of them involved hould get mandtory jail time. that means no early release. you must searve every day of the sentence. we can ot have people running arownd killing or molesting our little tots. the officer involved should should be put in the prison open poplation when he gets there. he will have to sleep with both eyes open at all times. let him suffer his wrong doings so he will remember what he has done. as for the others they should be treated the same way.

Child Abuse  (by: concerned  -   6/28/2009)

Some of you are missing the point, there is a 22 month old child dead. There is no "she is such a wonderful person" statements that need to be made. Everyone involved with this let this baby down. Last I checked, 22 month olds rely on their parents and/or the adults in thier lives to keep them safe and provide care to them. That means from the mother to the daycare workers. Take a look at Linda Payne's record of mishaps at that daycare. She was cutting corners and risking the safety of the children in her care. This is not excusable. And, at the time of her arrest, her daycare was on probation due to violations. Former Officer Parker was a hot head. Anyone that met him on a bad day can tell you that. He may very well have been a great father to his own daughter, but Kayden was NOT his daughter. He had no right to place is hands on this child, not even one time. Look at his record of domestic violence with his ex-wife, should have been a warning sign, as well as all the citizens of Avon Park that said/alleged that he was less then nice to them in the line of duty. The mother should have seen some signs. A 22 month old is able to communicate if you just listen. I do not believe for one minute that the mother did not notice anything. As a parent, it is your JOB to make sure that the people in your child's life are fit to be there. Do your homework BEFORE you allow people into their lives. Check out the daycares, look on-line for the problems they have or do have. You can't rely on word of mouth when it comes to your children. I pray that this baby's death serves as a wake up call to everyone. I pray that her death is able to bring child abuse to the forefront and that the community is able to be educated and become more diligent in protecting children. It is everyones job, not just "mandated" reporters.

  (by: odfm  -   6/28/2009)

This needs to be decided by a court of law. The case should not be tried in the newspapers.

Mother was prob. abused too  (by: g8rplmbr  -   6/28/2009)

Nobody has even mentioned the fact that the mother was/is a NURSE? She should have easily recognized the injuries. I suspect in an abusive situation, she was being beaten as well. The mothers in abusive relationships don't always see the clear path out. I know this from seeing my Mom go thru Hell before she got away from her husband. And I also know Jennifer...I think anyone who would beat a child deserves to be gut-shot, but it isn't right to cast a net of blame that might also get someone who was probably being abused as well.

Trial By newspaper  (by: Ray Napper  -   6/27/2009)

There is no way to taint the jury pool. So take off the cap lock and have a cool drink of water. This is why we have courts, so it can all be discovered and acted upon. What will likely happen is that the case will be transferred out of this county for just the opposite reason that MrConverative thinks. And to the poster who wondered who checked them out...How do you do that? If they have not committed any previous crimes what do you do? You all need to take a chill pill and realize that these people aren't going anywhere. The guilty will pay for this but don't you think we should hear what they say BEFORE we hang them?

baby k  (by: another mom  -   6/27/2009)

I know alot of mothers that go to work every day. When you work an odd shift and you don't have family in town to help, then you must trust in someone I'm so sorry that this child wast taken so young. The mother is being judged for something that she didn't see coming. When I raised my 2 children I was so careful ... everyone beleaved me to be a bit of a worry wart, but I watched out and protected them with everything within me. I'm sorry to say that my daughter still fell off the end of her bed and fractured her wrist. They said it was the growth plate and she'd be fine. "she didn't screem in pain" I hate to think what would have happened if I 'd been working. If she had not told me about it, and It had shown up later , people may not have understood. Sometimes things happen to children and if they can't tell us... we don't see an injury.. then all we can do is our best and hope and pray it's enough. Parker was at home and the mother was at work. She has suffered enough.

ABC  (by: Caring Mom  -   6/27/2009)

Partyof5 asks - "Have you read the reports on other daycares?", and the answer is YES! Checked out the daycare where my little ones went and many other daycares before making a choice, and was concerned when they were in noncompliance because of a part of the fence was not fully intact surrounding the playground. OMG, if they served food with poopy hands, I would have had a heart attack. I checked out their inspection reports online monthly. As should every parent. The negligence on ABC's part was apparent to other parents who took their children out and reported them to DCF.

baby k in my heart forever!  (by: friend  -   6/27/2009)

first of all I want to tell all these people taht have no clue about the situation to keep their thoughts to themselves. you guys have no clue what is going on and unless you were there you have room to judge. Imagine if you were in her footsteps and just lost your baby girl you loved so much and now are faulsly accused of something on the front page of the newspaper with the baby's killer!!! I cannot believe the comments you selfish people make on the internet and iam glad you did not put your full name you should be ashamed of yourself. Get a real job instead of judging my friend that I love soooo much! Iam hurt and very angry and once more keep your comments between you and the lord!!!! keep your comments to yourself and imagine you were in her footsteps...My friend is and always will be an awesome mother of her girls and i will support her in every way...I love you jenn!!

Its amazing  (by: MRCONSERVATIVE  -   6/27/2009)

That so many people have come out of the wood work in defense of these people. These people are customers, relatives, or business partners. They are trying to taint the jury pool in this county.

enough is enough  (by: knucklehead  -   6/27/2009)

Where are you people coming from? You all have to be related or drinking the same potion, You just keep repeating the same ole story abouot the LOVING MOTHER.! We fell for that to start with and its getting really old. The questions that came up dont seem to be registering with your group to well, You seem to be all running a political spin machine direct from the books of Al Sharpton. The main question that doesnt make any sence is WHY? WHY? WHY? are they aresting people for not reporting harm to this little girl BEFORE BEFORE BEFORE. The cop/boyfriend was even in the picture??????? He might just have beat this girl till she was braindead, but for the law to be doing what there doing this had to be going on before he would have had the chance to harm her.! It is just getting old to read all of your blabber about God, religion, and the poor poor mommy not holding her dear child.and the Monster that did all of this even before he was there. Do you maybe see the point now? "truthbetold" "SH" and the rest of you braindead people. wait maybe it does run in the family!

Baby K  (by: S.H.  -   6/27/2009)

I have also known a child that fell off a chair, broke her arm and no one noticed until that night when her mom got her ready for bed. She was only 2 yrs old, there was no swelling and only a little cry when she fell. She played all the rest of the day with no fussing. Kids can stand a lot of pain with no complaints. Jen was a caring mom. When you are in love with someone you tend to believe them and think that they could not ever harm your child. I am sure Parker gave her a story for each bruise that was believable. How much is one mom suppose to endure. She was a hard worker trying the best she could to care for her family. Jen was not the only one who fell for Parkers stories or did not see abuse. My prayers go out to all concerned, except the one person who was with baby K when she was beaten. Can anyone even imagine sitting in a hospital for 2 months watching your child die?! And now you want to take this loving mom away from her other child. What about the other child loosing her sister and now possibly her mother? My heart goes out to this family!

A LEGITIMATE QUESTION  (by: Me_In_AvonPark  -   6/27/2009)

I have not seen ANYWHERE someone address the question... WHO IS THE FATHER!? Why was he not in the picture? For crying out loud, nobody has asked this.

the truth  (by: truth be told  -   6/27/2009)

To just out of concern , Different people have different levels of pain during the 2 weeks that this child's clavicle was broken she was seen by many of people this child lived a very active life was a cheerful player and I myself as well as many people saw this child as she played with my kids like nothing was wrong at all !!! Now for you to say no way and impossible . I am a FIRM believer in my LORD JESUS CHRIST and nothing is impossible through him now saying this i do believe that Jesus had a hand and knowing how the pain felt and helping an innocent child deal with this pain do i understand how God works not fully and i saying God should have stopped this NO im not God and he is ultimately we have a baby that lived a life similar to that of Jesus sinless that it and i tell you this Jesus is only lucky person to have such a loving and HUGGING best little baby in the world i have never seen a baby that truly loved everyone that was around her . So to tell you the truth it is possible to not know your child has these injuries For a God who understands the pains of people getting beat for no reason can and did help her deal with this pain and for those of you who dont know who Jesus Christ is now is a good time to ask The death of this baby as not only touched many families lives changed the way people react to situations and calmed families down but it has also invoked many emotions of anger,justice,frustation,and not understanding. But i do know this Kaedyn will always be remembered in my family it also let my 3 children understand what it is to love someone and lose them but in the process to get to see the mighty works of a Great Savior as he comforts Jen in one if not the worst thing that could happen to a loving mother who during this whole time of 2 months of watching her baby die didn't leave the baby's sight , didn't stop reading her books , didn't stop holding her ,and most of all didn't stop praying in Gods will and not her own. DIDN'T STOP PRAYING . God doesn't always take away the situations at hand but what he does promise he will do is Comfort you in those situations , those of you who have been a part of the everyday updates on care pages understand what a true display of faith that Jen has and those of you who weren't there in the everyday trying times of this situation let me assure you the truth will be told. This time people rant defending the Cop as evidence has been shown to show that he did it , its a matter of how great of a manipulator that is trained by the government to manipulate can make a mom who has been through hell on earth life even tougher . Did she know this NO she did not she loves her kids who have been there for her more than any other person in her life not her dad not her mom not any of her family have been there for this single mom BUT her kids you have to understand her kids are not only her kids but her best friends as well. Jen we love you and we are truly sorry that this has turned into this. justice,

Parker  (by: concerned parent  -   6/27/2009)

Did you all know Officer Parker was the resource officer at Avon Park High School? Who investigates these people that work with our children?

  (by: partyof5  -   6/26/2009)

Have you read the reports on other daycares? And abuse cases aren't always obvious, so how can you put the blame on any "friend, daycare worker, church member, or family who professes to have not seen anything", when perhaps that is the truth? I am by no means proclaiming anyone's innocence here, because I wasn't there, and I don't know all the facts, and have never claimed to...but how can you make such comments on what should happen to anybody involved without knowing if they are guilty or not? And putting the blame on everyone except for the one person that was allegedly home with the child when the life-threatening injuries occured? Come on! Yes, if anyone suspected abuse, it should have been reported, but again, not all abuse cases are that evident.

Baby K   (by: sad  -   6/26/2009)

It's a shame people don't wait untill they know the whole story. As a mother myself and a very protective one at that, I must wonder... what kind of fracture did baby k have? A hair line fracture wouldn't have hurt her as much as a broken bone. If she had a small hair line fracture in her collar bone, she may have just been a little fussy and just wanted her mom to hold her. Baby's cry when they have a tooth comming in and when they miss mommy when she's at work. When you arrive home after a long night at work...you walk into the house and your child comes over to you just wanting to be picked up and given a hug...Thats what baby k wanted from her mom and from everything I know about the mother she is a warm loving mother who has always huggged and loved and cared for her children. If this child had a small fracture and it may NOT have been noticeable after 3 days. This mother worked the 7 to 7 shift and after giving her report to the next shift she may have gotten home much later. I'm sure she must have slept...gotten up and started her day all over again. After 3 days of 7 to 7 shifts the fracture may not have hurt anymore than a tooth ach, It may have been just a little sore . We don't know anything except what the news papers print. Has anyone seen an xray? Please don't blame the mother when her only crime was trying to make a living so she could provide a home for her children. This Parker could tell a lie and you wouln't know it. He was a police officer!!! He was suppose to protect those children. How was she suppose to know anything was wrong. He put on a different face for her, acted as if he cared. She is a good person and try's to see the good in other people. She didn't know he was capable of such a thing. We should give her a chance to explain and not rush to judement.

MURDER AND JURY TAMPERING  (by: MR.CONSERVATIVE  -   6/26/2009)

PARTOF5 IS SO INTENSE ABOUT THE DEFENSE OF THESE PEOPLE. IS THIS PERSON RELATED TO ONE OF THREE FEMALES ARRESTED. OUR THERE FRIENDS ARE TRYING TO TAINT THE JURY POOL. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THESE PEOPLE COME OUT OF NOWHERE. SOMETHING VERY QUESTIONABLE.

partyof5  (by: white tornado  -   6/26/2009)

Well I just pulled up the health dept reports on the daycare. You might want to read a few( there were 4 pages) Ranging from changing diapers then making lunch without washing hands, to having soiled sheets with spitup with several kids sleeping in the area. This was done while the inspectors were present, just think of what happens when there not there????If you think this is above normal, you might want to level with your friends before you invite some over for dinner.Who knows what besides a doggy bag they might be taking home with them. I know that its hard to keep up with a housefull of munchkins, but lady you might want to read a few years of inspections before you spout off again.

baby k   (by: s.cook  -   6/26/2009)

i have to admit i was really impress with abc when my infant first started,[he was in the same class as baby k] the owners and staff seem very caring,then my infant brings home other kids meds.,i came in a caught him with someone eles binki,and he was given another childs fromula[some that he was allergic to],when i went to linda she blew me off no big deal,so i am here to say they were very careless in the care of my child,one dcf report was mine

To mom2three  (by: TisMe  -   6/26/2009)

To Mom2Three - you ask "So who said the abuse started at 3 months old?" The newspapers reported the daycare was indicted for not reporting abuse starting Oct 07, would make Kaedyn approximately 3 mos old at the time.

ABC Daycare  (by: Mommy of 3  -   6/26/2009)

To Partyof5 - I wouldn't leave my child in that daycare. Reports state children were left alone in unsupervised rooms and the staff was not even aware. Do you ever read about children being left in daycare vans and dying from the heat because the staff forgot them? Run as fast as you can to another daycare. The staff may appear caring to your face, but apparently they are above and beyond negligent. Geez, you are negligent if you haven't checked them out, their reports available online, before leaving your children there. What responsible, caring mom wouldn't check it out first? Obviously you didn't.

Grand Jury  (by: Concerned  -   6/26/2009)

In essence, a grand jury is called to convene on a case in which the prosecution does not have sufficient evidence to formally charge an individual AND needs someone else to help give him/her the courage to do it. The grand jury is the prosecutor's mechanism. In large part, the prosecutor is the only official present. No judge, no defense atty's, no defense witnesses...the Grand Jury hears only one side. Therefore, it's a bit one-sided to say the least, and is actually a good thing for the accused(s) - it bolsters their defense that the prosecution doesn't have what it needs to formally charge anyone.

Baby Kaedyn  (by: Just Out of Concern  -   6/26/2009)

Party of 5 - there is a difference between noticing a newborn and a toddler having a broken bone and crying in pain. A broken elbow would have caused swelling and much pain, and a broken/fractured clavicle the same, all infants cry, but a toddler would have done more than cry. A 20 mth old has ways of telling you things. When I read nurses posting such nonsense "which it is" and then hear the mom was a nurse, blah, blah, blah - possibly she was a nurses aid, whatever, it surely didn't take a rocket scientist to see something was not right - THERE IS NO EXCUSE for what happened to this precious child. And anyone, friend, daycare worker, church member, or family who professes to have not seen anything, is lying, pure and simple BS. And take note everyone, if you see a parent abusing a child in a store, or wherever, it is your responsibility to do something about it, on the spot..report it and step in.

WHEN?  (by: mom2three  -   6/26/2009)

So who said the abuse started at 3 months old?

This is crazy  (by: my thoughts  -   6/26/2009)

They say abuse was happening when the child was 3 months old. Parker wasn't even involved with the mother then. I'm starting to wonder who was really abusing the child.I pray they find all who are guilty in this case.

How does a mother not know?  (by: partyof5  -   6/26/2009)

It's very easy to not know! Sounds strange, and unbelievable, but can very well happen! One of my children was born with both a broken femur and 12th rib. I am a nurse, but still I had no clue he had broken bones until 6 1/2 weeks later! Sure he cried, but not non-stop! Even the doctors didn't know! And we don't know how extensive the fractures were......they could have been very small, not enough to cause constant SEVERE pain, but maybe just a constant ache, enough to make a todler whinny, but not constantly crying! So yes, as a mother, you may not know! Don't ASSUME something if you've never experienced it! Again, we are not here on this earth to Judge!

To Rick  (by: Concerned  -   6/26/2009)

You need to reread the charges agaisnt the mother. They are not saying she hurt the baby herself, she had to have known her baby was being hurt, how do you NOT know your baby has a broken collar bone and a broken elbow??? It looks like she covered for him. Not saying she did, it just looks that way. But no one has said she herself hurt the child. And if you knew him, did you know what he was doing? I am sure if you did, you would have reported it.

Baby K  (by: angry  -   6/26/2009)

The ones who r saying these 2 daycare workers should go to jail must not have children and know that they get scrapes and bruises all the time, if daycare workers reported every bruise they saw everyone of us with children would go to jail. It is not the daycare workers fault, they saw something and asked the mother about it, they did not suspect anything or they would have done something. It is the guy's fault the child is dead he was the one watching her that night.

ABC  (by: partyof5  -   6/26/2009)

First of all, unless you were there, and you KNOW exactly what happened, STOP THROWING DAGGERS! It's not our place to judge anybody. And as far as the daycare goes...I have THREE children that are currently enrolled in ABC Children's Academy, two of which have been there for nearly 3 years. ABC is not the only daycare my children have attended, but since enrolling there, I would never choose another. Both Linda and Sara have been there the entire time my children have, and I believe they are two of the best child advocates I know. If one of the other teachers suspected abuse, it would have been his/her LEGAL RESPONSIBILTY as a childcare worker, to repot it. IF she reported it to her supervisors (Linda/Sara), and knew they did not report it any further, she SHOULD have reported to the athourities herself! I 100% completely believe that if Linda or Sara TRUELY SUSPECTED ANY ABUSE, that they woould have reported it. Again, they are both 2 of the biggest child advocates that I know! How can you charge someone with "Failure to report suspected (anything)", if they never suspected anything to begin with???? If you ever had to interact with these WONDERFUL WOMEN, then it would be just as obvious to you that they ALWAYS have the children's best intrest at heart. I am completely disgusted that people would say such cruel things about anybody invloved without knowing THE FACTS! And even if you THINK you know the FACTS, whre exactly did you get them from? BELIEVE NONE OF WHAT YOU HEAR/READ, AND ONLY HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE! Unless you were there, you can't possibly know the facts at this point! It's all a bunch of "HE SAID, SHE SAID BULL"!!!!!! And let me just say, that my children don't HAVE to attend daycare, as I have family that would be more than happy to watch my children while both parents are working, but I feel completly secure with my decision to keep them enrolled at ABC. And before you go saying somebody should be beat until they die, you should remember YOU ARE NOT GOD! YOU ARE NOT HERE TO PLACE JUDGEMENT ON ANYONE! LEAVE THESE PEOPLE ALONE! KEEP PRAYING, AND JUSTICE WILL ULTIMATELY BE SERVED TO THOSE WHO DESERVE IT!

AHH!  (by: mom2three  -   6/26/2009)

First of all, IF Linda Payne "ordered her staff NOT to report abuse" IT DOESN'T MATTER, the PERSON who SUSPECTS abuse is ULTIMATELY, LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE for reporting it!

How could this child have a broken elbow and nobody knew it? The child must have cried in pain and no one took her to the doctors? As sad as this is, Baby K will never have to endure any pain ever again. God bless you and keep you safe from now on.

We've vented  (by: Ray Napper  -   6/26/2009)

Truth, you're probably correct in much of what you say. This is terrible and no words can express what people feel at such an act. There is always suspicion from people about who knew what and when. Now that people have vented, maybe we'll all do the right thing and let this family have as much peace as they can find. The courts will decide all of this and those who need to be will be punished. And a little child will still be gone. Like the ABATE people are telling you. It has to stop.

Reality  (by: Rick  -   6/26/2009)

Ive read all the post on here for the last few months but have never commented before. I find myself now not being able to stay quiet any longer. Ive know Jen for awhile now and find her to be a credible, honest and loving person and dont believe the allegations by the investigators. Anyone can be indicted by a grand jury its a one sided presentation to a group of people by a prosecutor. The saying amongst attorneys is " A grand jury will indict a ham sandwich" and I have found this to be true. As for James Ive known him much longer and I dont find him to be credible at all. I wont sit here behind this computer and say anything I wouldnt say in person or under oath in court so in my opinion James is the person of interest here and the focus should be on his behavior not anyone elses. Jen was at work when these final injuries where delivered and when she was notified by James she took immediate and appropriate action. James is a very very good story teller that can spin all kinds of lies to explain other injuries that happened prior but this time he went to far and can't explain this one away. James perhaps does love his daughter but why would he try and blame the injuries to Kaedyn on her if he truly loved her. I dont believe in scape goats, if you do wrong admit it dont try to blame others or take others down with you.

SOMETHING FISHY...  (by: SAD STORY  -   6/26/2009)

MS. PAYNE MUST HAVE ALOT TO HIDE ABOUT THIS CASE, THAT'S WHY THEY CHARGED HER.

the truth  (by: the truth  -   6/26/2009)

because of the decision this evil man made . I still comfort family around me the hurt isn't over . Its not fair that he took the precious life of Kaedyn Short and now he gets to sit back in enjoyment and try to take the life of her mother in her career in her motherhood he gets the enjoyment of knowing its not over and getting more satisfaction of the pain he caused . Facts are a cop has did this for no reason what so ever . Fact is people donut want to believe that he could have done this so people want to wait for more to come out. Fact is alot more people are gonna get arrested. Why? bcus the investigator wants it to happen are they gonna be convicted NO they didnt do anything wrong and in time u will see will more people get arrested YES remember what u say CAN and WILL be used against you in the court or law NOT for you!!! thx and i hope this helped..... now go ahead and post your negative comments God bless

the truth  (by: the truth  -   6/26/2009)

to now be arrested with the same charge . Read the charge guys it is saying the mom neglected to protect her child . To you guys understand how this mom already must feel. The questions she asks herself daily .How did I miss this,,, How could I have changed this ,,,, if your spouse walks out the door because you got into an argument and he gets in a car wreck and dies how guilty must you feel for letting him walk out the door ,,,, did u fail to protect your spouse and should you be put in prison for that ? But you will be feeling guilt for it the rest of your life correct even though theres nothing you could have done u weren't driving the car. She is a great mother a great friend and a great person for people to know .Your right things will play out in the end but in the meantime you have people who's lives are gonna get ruined because of a decision the evil man made . I lost someone i dearely loved

baby k  (by: pissed off  -   6/26/2009)

parker and the mothet should get a slow painfull death these people dont even desirve to be considerd for jail

baby K  (by: pat g.  -   6/25/2009)

This article does not state that Baby K had not been enrolled in Mrs. Payne's daycare for over 6 months at the time of her death. The director and day care teacher had not seen this child since October of 2008. Let's wait for the facts in this case before making snap judgements.

Baby K  (by: pat g.  -   6/25/2009)

This article does not state that "Baby K" had not attended this daycare for over 6 months at the time of her death. The daycare workers and director have not even seen this child since October of 2008. Let's wait for the actual facts to be brought out before making snap judgements.

Makes you think  (by: lewis  -   6/25/2009)

This should make people really sit back and thank god that they were not involved in any way with this family. There actions have or may have ruined many peoples lives. Over the years I have known people or thought I knew people, that in the end turned out to be very strange.I thought they were just normal working people with kids and then poof! the secrets came out and you are just floored. I think the day care workers, thinking that the mother was a nurse and the boyfriend a cop and the kid has injurys that could be explained from falling or such, you probally would not suspect abuse. Im sure they probably freaked out when they learned of the case in the paper like the rest of us did also. Its a shame the child died for it to be a wakeup call for every person who has a job that involves children in anyway, and yes we all should report suspected abuse whether it be a child spouse or even a pet. Most of us don't want to get involved or might think that they are just being a nosey neighbor, but just like this case if someone would have spoken up sooner maybe the child would be alive today. IYears ago I had a friend /empoyee that I was very close to the whole family. It turned out the husband was messing around with the step daughter for sometime, and what was even worse was that the mother of the girl had caught the husband several times in very questionable situations and had covered for him. Yes the law was involved, but in the end not alot happend. needless to say that my friendship ended rather quickly when I found out what was going on in there household, Years later I found out through ther grapevive that the husband was involved again through work with 13-16yo girls with his job and yes there were acusations again being raised. This time I didnt waste anytime alerting the proper law enforcement agencys, And again people covered for him and all I think happend was he was removed from his position. I know its hard for law enforcement to do there job when people involved either cover or don't speak up either because there afraid too or just dont want to get involved. But it is our duty to protect our children whether there yours or even a neighbors and I think I would be rather accused of being nosey many times if just one of those times it turns out that it saves a childs life.

Baby "k  (by: Lakes  -   6/25/2009)

We need to wait and hear what evidence they have to show they knew the child was abused. I am more inclined to believe that the mother had to know. When are these young single mothers going to learn not to leave their young children with their boyfriends.

Mrs. Payne  (by: Hmmmm...?  -   6/25/2009)

We will see just how "wonderful" Mrs. Payne is when the whole story comes out! Her daycare isn't that "wonderful". Just look at the dcf website that show her inspection reports. If she is so wonderful why doesn't she care enough about the safety of children to have enough staff on hand to abide by the rules?

baby k  (by: sandy cook  -   6/25/2009)

no on is onderful women when they do nothing tohelp a child ABC childrens acdemy was suppose to be top class but hey have fallen down n the job.

baby k  (by: Rational  -   6/25/2009)

Before everyone jumps on the bandwagon and berate (or in some cases beat) the mother and/or child care providers I have one question to ask. If this particular case of child abuse was so obvious why did baby K's pediatrian not notice, along with friends, family members, or even the neighbors. From personal experience not all child abuse cases are black and white.

Baby K  (by: NoName  -   6/25/2009)

Ah Ha! So there is more to this story - kept wondering why the smokescreen by the mom's supporters about what a wonderful mom she was, and how no one noticed, not even the church folks(ha) - Glad to see the mom was indicted. If James is guilty (which could be doubtful the way the chips are falling), she needs to serve the 25 years deemed possible....guilty as charged....and there might be more to this story. Evidentally, from another story, this child has been abused since 3 mos old. Sadder than Sad! But let's hear all the facts.

baby  (by: my thoughts  -   6/25/2009)

by law daycare workers are to report suspected abuse, mrs,payne may be a wonderful person but she failed in her duties as a daycare worker, state attorney says there is a large amount of evidence to support that the mother, failed as parent to protect her child... there would have been no indictment had there not been that type of evidence. i am sure there were several parents on that grand jury, what a tough choice. also the kind of hate that is going on on this site is the same kind of hate that caused this little girls death, judgement day will come for all in this one day.how do some of you people sleep with so much anger in your minds. sad sad sad.

Another Piece of the Puzzle  (by: Puzzled  -   6/25/2009)

The daycare workers (by another article) were charged with not reporting abuse between Oct 07 - Oct 08. It has nothing to do with the abuse that occured weeks prior and the final abuse. If my math is right, this child was only 3 mos old when the abuse started...things still don't add up. By all accounts by those who know James and was around him and his own daughter, he was a doting dad, and his daughter adored him - this is not making sense....still! Where are all the mom's supporters who posted all the time that the daycare, nor the family, nor the church gurus saw any signs, and she was such a loving mom!? This is absurd....any one of these friends had to have known or have seen interaction between Kaedyn and her mom and James - and the story keeps unfolding. Stay Tuned!

sad  (by: justme  -   6/25/2009)

Every person that failed this child should be put away! They are all the reason this child is dead.

  (by: TLL  -   6/25/2009)

I honestly in my heart of hearts DO NOT believe Mrs. Payne knew anything about the abuse... She is a very wonderful teacher and I would trust her completely in caring for my children. She used to have a dance studio that my daughter attended when she was 4. She's now 11 and Mrs. Payne still knows her by name and asks about her... She's a compassionate and caring woman that does not deserve this treatment.

Abuse  (by: sick  -   6/25/2009)

how could the mom have not known about this man?

Baby K  (by: Saddened:(  -   6/25/2009)

Wow! All of the adults surrounding this child (The Mother, the daycare owner, and the daycare teacher espcially) really failed this child. I work with children everyday and can't imagine looking into the eyes of any child and deem anything more important than keeping them safe. I hope it doesn't come out that Linda Payne actually ordered her staff NOT to report obvious abuse. If it is actually the case that Mom was covering for the boyfriend, Linda Payne was covering for Mom, Sara Vasquez was covering for Linda Payne and the daycare, than they should all be held responsible for her death! What a sad sad case!

  (by: Commandment # 6  -   6/25/2009)

And the story expands,as expected. Just how liable are the daycare workers? The mother definitely seems to have "overlooked" obvious signs. If Parker is guilty,he should sit next to Altersberger for a decade or so,waiting on the needle to hit it's mark.

BABY "K"  (by: Alo  -   6/25/2009)

Parker and the so called mother should be beat until they die...why should they be shown any mercy....

Mrs. Payne  (by: Jessica H.  -   6/25/2009)

Mrs. Payne is a wonderful woman! This is so sad!
