Guest jpurdy2003 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 If this is typical of the mentality of Coshocton's residents, that place must be the end of human civilization. Even Neanderthals had more common sense and decency. http://www.nbc4i.com/news/3926894/detail.html Parents Found Guilty Of Chaining Girl To Crib POSTED: 3:02 pm EST November 17, 2004 UPDATED: 6:51 pm EST November 17, 2004 COSHOCTON, Ohio -- The parents of a child who was chained to her crib in her burning home were found guilty Wednesday, NBC 4's John Ivanic reported. Gerald Stewart and Ridgley Allington It took a judge just 25 minutes to find Gerald Stewart, 33, and Ridgley Allington, 36, guilty of child endangerment, which is a second-degree felony. The parents face up to eight years in prison. "I just want to get our daughter back," Stewart said. "I know it looked bad, and we made a mistake. We hope for the best." Prosecutors said they don't want to give the child back to her parents. The child has been with a foster family since the incident. Officials hope to move the child into a permanent foster home. A Coshocton firefighter testified in court Tuesday that he had to battle more than just flames to save 4-year-old Karen Stewart, NBC 4's Elizabeth Scarborough reported. Gerald Stewart and Allington said the chain was used to prevent their child from getting out, and that's just what happened when a fire broke out at their Chestnut Street home in July, Scarborough reported. "I saw a shimmer from her leg to the crib," one of the rescuers said. "I thought it had to be a chain." The firefighters testified in court how they rescued the girl despite heat, smoke and no visibility. They drew diagrams of the paths they crawled through the home and showed the crib and chains they were only able to feel in the upstairs apartment. The firefighters said they found the child lying facedown under the crib. "I grabbed her up in my arms and I yelled, 'Hey, I found her!' " firefighter Dexter Conkle said. Conkle didn't get far, however. Firefighters said a single chain bound the girl, who was unconscious, to the crib. "I felt that at that point she was in our hands, and I didn't want to hurt her leg," firefighter Stan Braxton said. "Even a tug on the chain was unnecessary pain." Braxton said he broke the chain with his hands. They then moved to safety. The couple escaped the burning second-floor apartment, claiming that they could not free the girl. Fire officials said Gerald Stewart attempted to fight the fire himself. The defense argued that the parents believed they were protecting the child by chaining her to the crib and that they didn't have the mental capacity to know that they were being reckless, Scarborough reported. The prosecution argued that the child suffered physical harm because of the chains and that her parents were cruel in restraining her.

ttemper Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 You wouldnt believe some of shit stupid shit ive seen/heard. Arsonist would set up trailers in the basement, making the fire go upstairs. they would douse the trailer with fuel(the trailers b eing ordinary combustibles such as paper/cloth) well, they would light it when they were in the basement, and have no way of getting out! hahaha. darwinism at its finest.

Orion Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Braxton said he broke the chain with his hands.

mrblunt Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Its an fn crib for gods sakes. Lower the damned matress so the kid can't get out. Who in gods name chains their kid to anything? They should definately get in trouble for being so stupid. If the fire did break out wouldn't you want to save your baby before you saved yourself? I'd be burnt to a crisp if i had to make that decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live about 5 miles outside of Coshocton, but I'm definately a Coshoctonian (btw, thats how you spell that). I mean, its the closest thing to a city to me, so I'm from there. About the stupid people in this town, yes, they are abundant. There are plenty of intelligent people around also. Not trying to defend Coshocton completely, but you'll find deranged idiots everywhere. Look at the guy that shot up the alrosa because he was a fuckin nut last week. I was supposed to be at that show and I'm very glad I didn't have the cash. There are morons everywhere though. I lived in Columbus for two years and I can point out plenty there too. Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
