Hero of the Month: 7 Year Old Brittney Baxter Fights Off Attempted Kidnapping of Ex-Con Thomas Andrew Woods in Georgia Walmart

NEVER LET IT BE SAID THAT ALL CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE SHOWN HOW TO REACT IN ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING … ENTER  OUR BRAVE 7 YEAR OLD HERO BRITTNEY BAXTER …

7 year old Brittney Baxter is a hero after her quick thinking yesterday in an attempted kidnapping at a Georgia Walmart. Thomas Andrew Woods, an ex-con convicted of voluntary manslaughter, was on probation just could not help himself. The 25 year old ex-con was taken into custody in the attempted kidnapping of Brittany Baxter. Had it now been for the little girl’s quick reaction to resist the abduction by kicking and screaming when the felony dirt-bag attempted to drag her out of the Walmart, who knows how tragic this story would have become. Actually, we know how bad it would have been.

From the AJC …

Thomas Andrew Woods, 25, of Austell, was taken into custody and questioned before being arrested Wednesday afternoon, Bremen Police Chief Keith Pesnell told the AJC.

“We’re pretty confident we’ve got the right guy,” Pesnell said.

But as Woods was being led in handcuffs from the police department to a patrol car, he told reporters that the police had the wrong man.

“I was never there,” Woods said.

According to police, Woods started talking to Brittney Baxter in the toy aisle of the Wal-Mart and then grabbed her and put his hand around her mouth.

But Brittney kicked and screamed, and the man let her go, police said. Neither she nor her mother, who was nearby in the store, was injured.

From the files of once a piece of law breaking scum, always a piece of law breaking scum, Thomas Andrew Woods was released in October 2011 from the Wheeler Correctional Facility, where he had been since April 2007 following his manslaughter conviction in DeKalb county. Nice, glad to see he learned advanced child sex predator in prison. Let’s hope they lock this POS, oh sorry, alleged POS away and throw away the key. Anyone that would attempt such a brazen kidnap attempt should never be allowed near the general public.

Josh Powell, Husband & Prime Suspect in Case of Missing Susan Powell … Kills His Two Children in Murder-Suicide … All Die in Fire During a Supervised Visit

Ok, who thinks that Josh Powell is guilty now in the disappearance of missing 28 year old Utah mom Susan Powell?  The final words of a sick, twisted killer … I’m Sorry, Goodbye.

Susan Powell and sons, 7 year old Charles &  5 year old Braden … Rest in Peace

The case of missing Susan Powell just went from the sad to the horrendous and horrific.Josh Powell, the prime suspect in the disappearance of his wife Susan Powell who went missing in 2009, has killed his two children in a murder-suicide, setting his home on fire. The children were dropped off by a social worker for a supervised visit. Josh Powell then slammed the door closed not letting the social worker in the home and then did the unthinkable.  There was an explosion and fire engulfed the home killing all inside. Authorities are saying that this was not an accident.

“I just heard a huge explosion,” neighbor Ryan Mickle says. “It shook my house and then I ran outside and the whole house was on fire almost immediately.”

Inside, officials found the bodies of Powell and his two young sons, seven-year-old Charles and five-year-old Braden.

“This wasn’t an accident,” Ed Troyer, of the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, declared. “This was Josh Powell, who we believe killed his kids and himself … dead in the fire.”

About ten minutes before the fire started, Powell reportedly sent his attorney an email that read, “I’m sorry. Goodbye.” Then, just minutes after his children were dropped off by a social worker for a supervised visit, the explosion occurred.

“He grabbed the kids,” said Troyer, “locked her out of the house, and immediately, the house went up in flames. … We believe that the house fire went up so fast that accelerants were used.”

As reported at CNN, Josh Powell sent a three-word e-mail to his attorney, “I’m sorry. Goodbye.”

This should make everyone think twice about any type of child visitation to a parent who is accused or under suspicion of a crime when it comes to a missing person or murder. Maybe all supervised visits should now be in public places and not in homes. Our hearts and prayers go to the families who have to cope with this heinous act.

UPDATE I: Could the Courts have done more to protect the Powell boys, 7 year old Charles &  5 year old Braden?

Ya think? Of course sadly the questions come a bit late now, don’t they? One would think that in the future, parents who are prime suspects in serious crimes like missing persons and murders that they either would not be allowed visitation at all or any supervision would be in a public location or controlled environment.

Law Enforcement Sources Say that Blood was Found Inside the Home of Missing 20 Month Old Ayla Reynolds in Maine

This can’t be good, blood found inside the home of missing missing 20 month old Ayla Reynolds.

20 month old Ayla Reynolds has been missing since December 17, 2011 when she was reported missing by her father Justin DiPietro.   Tha father told police he believed his daughter was snatched from her bedroom in his Waterville, Maine home.

Days later following the search for missing  Ayla Reynolds, law enforcement stated that the case had evolved from the search for a missing child to a “criminal investigation.” As reported at WCVB-TV in Boston, they know know why the case turned to a criminal investigation, as blood was reported to be found at the in the home. It is now being determined whose blood it is and how long it has been there.

Multiple law enforcement sources have told McPhee that blood was found inside the home.

Maine State Police have now confirmed blood was found in the basement of the home at 29 Violette Ave.

Authorities said the crime lab is still working to determine whose blood it is, and how long it had been in the basement.

Multiple law enforcement sources also told Team 5 Investigates that Reynolds’ father left the police station when he was shown crime scene photos of luminol-enhanced blood stains taken at the home.

Two maternal relatives of missing toddler Ayla Reynolds have taken polygraph exams. Previously, Ayla’s mother, Trista Reynolds, took a polygraph exam January 18; however, was not able to complete it due to a medical condition.  Also, Ayla’s father, Justin DiPietro, took a polygraph test as well DiPietro says police did not provide him with the results. The police say that is not the case and they did.

Ayla’s uncle passed the exam, while Ayla’s grandmother was unable to complete it, according to aylareynolds.com.

In an interview with the Morning Sentinel, Becca Hanson, Ayla’s grandmother, declined to discuss the exam’s specific questions, but said she told the polygraph examiner she had nothing to do with 21-month-old toddler’s disappearance.

The exam was administered Friday by Maine State Police at Cumberland County Jail in Portland, she said, but the polygraph administrator couldn’t conclude the exam because Hanson’s daily medications interfered with the results. Hanson takes “muscle relaxers, pain-killers, depression medication and an antibiotic,” she said.

“Caylee’s Law” Passes State Assembly in California with Overwhelming Bipartisan Support, Headed To the State Senate … Kentucky Proposing Law as Well … Delaware Too

Caylee Anthony’s legacy … There may not have been “Justice for Caylee” … however, other children may receive it.

“Caylee’s law” has passed the State Assembly in California with near unanimous support. The bi-partisan supported bill is now headed to the State Senate. The law inspired by the death of 2 year old Caylee Anthony and the outrage of the “not guilty” verdict of Casey Anthony, the child’s mother who was accused and tried for murder. “Caylee’s Law” would make it a crime for a parent to not report a child’s death or disappearance within 24 hours. However, a misdemeanor and only 1 year in jail seems like a rather lame sentence.

CAYLEE’S LAW … JUSTICE FOR CAYLEE

“Caylee’s Law” would make it a crime for a parent to not report a child’s death or disappearance within 24 hours, according to the Sacramento Bee. Offenders would be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail and a $2,000 fine. The law is inspired by Casey Anthony, who failed to report her daughter’s death for a month, but who ended up notoriously being acquitted of murder. Los Angeles Democrat Holly Mitchell sponsored the bill.

Casey Anthony

The California version of Caylee’s Law passed the assembly 66-3 and it will will off to the state Senate for a vote. What should be common sense to report your child missing, was not the case during the Casey Anthony murder trial who eventually stated that the child was never missing, but drown. However, that did not prevent a missing persons case to ensue where eventually Caylee’s remains was found in a swamp.

It is hard to believe that a state would need to make it a crime for a parent to not report their child missing, but if states do not want future Zanny the nannies being blamed for kidnappings and children even being reported missing rather than parents going clubbing instead, a law need to be passed. That is what  Florida prosecutor Jeff Ashton faced during the Casey Anthony murder trial. Listen to interview to Jeff Ashton HERE. Its kind of hard to not act in a bipartisan manner when it comes to the protection of children. What kind of person would throw their child into the woods, when thousands of strangers who never knew Caylee came to the memorial site to honor and stand with the little girl.

Abandoned Baby Found at #Occupy DC Camp … Father Arrested & Charged With Child Cruelty

Add one more thing that you will never witness at a Tea Party event.

More from the Obama endorsed Occupy protesters … Yet more crime and irresponsibility from the OWS crowd, this time … dateline Occupy DC. An abandoned baby was found Wednesday morning crying in a tent at the Occupy DC camp in McPherson Square. She was found wearing only a onesie and mittens.  The baby was taken into the custody if the District’s child protective services department. After having identified the baby’s father, was arrested and charged with second degree cruelty to children.

An infant’s cries rang through the Occupy DC encampment in McPherson Square Wednesday morning, and when a group went to investigate they found only a baby girl alone in a tent, wearing a onesie and mittens.

Soon after, authorities said, a man had been arrested and the girl — who was unharmed — was in the city’s care.

The campers notified authorities and then cared for the girl until help arrived, according to Kelly Canavan, 36, a retired Prince George’s County school teacher who has been living at the camp.

How irresponsible could anyone possibly be? A retired school teacher none the less. More from Verum Serum, where they point out, it has become commonplace for when something goes wrong or a crime has been committed, no one knows if the individual was a part of the Occupy movement or not. As we know, OWS can do no wrong.

Oklahoma Mom Sarah Dawn McKinley Calls 911 & Asks Operator for Permission to Shoot Intruders

Why we have the Second Amendment … SCARED MONKEYS HERO OF THE DAY

Sarah Dawn McKinley, an 18 year old widow, called 911 and asked the operator if she could shoot an intruder entering her home. Although the operator did not say yes, she did say do what ever you need to do to protect yourself and your baby. The also said that she could not shoot until they broke into the home. The end result … she shot Justin Shane Martin dead with her 12-gauge shot gun. Police called the shooting, “justified”. I’ll say. Thank God for the “Castle” doctrine.

Don’t mess with a momma bear and her cub.

From CNN …

Home alone with her 3-month-old son, Sarah Dawn McKinley of Blanchard, Oklahoma, said she decided to make a stand when two men tried to break into her home on New Year’s Eve.

McKinley, who had been widowed less than a week before, placed a couch in front of one door and went to the bedroom and put a bottle in her baby’s mouth before calling 911, she said on HLN’s “Dr. Drew” on Wednesday.

A 911 operator calmly spoke with McKinley, who asked if it was permissible to shoot an intruder, officials said.

“I’ve got two guns in my hand. Is it OK to shoot him if he comes in this door?” asked McKinley, 18.

“Well, you have to do whatever you can do to protect yourself,” dispatcher Diane Graham responded. “I can’t tell you that you can do that, but you do what you have to do to protect your baby.”

These two men actually stalked and attacked this 18 year old widow whose husband died Christmas Day of cancer. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Sarah McKinley says that a week earlier a man named Justin Martin dropped by on the day of her husband’s funeral, claiming that he was a neighbor who wanted to say hello. The 18-year-old Oklahoma City area woman did not let him into her home that day.

On New Year’s Eve Martin returned with another man, Dustin Stewart, and this time was armed with a 12-inch hunting knife. The two soon began trying to break into McKinley’s home.

Welcome to Obamaland … Charlton, Mass Library Sends Cops to 5 Year Old Girls Home To Collect Overdue Books

Are you serious? What’s the matter was SWAT and the Massachusetts National Guard busy?

The Charlton Public Library in Charlton, MA had the audacity to send the police to the home of a 5 year old girl to collect over due books.  This might be the most ridiculous use of the police and a waste of tax payer dollars ever. The visit by police scared the 5 year old that she burst into tears and thought she was going to be arrested. Does anyone think that this is a bit excessive?

Watch the video HERE.

Charlton Police Sergeant Dan Dowd stopped by the home of Shannon Benoit to let her know that her daughter had two books several months overdue which needed to be returned or paid for.

I thought it was way overboard,” says Benoit. “I closed my door, I looked at my daughter and she started crying.”

Hailey asked her mom if the police were going to arrest her. Hailey says, “I was scared.”

Imagine if an actual crime was being committed that needed a police presence. Instead, the local fuzz was at the home of a hardened 5 year old criminal who had an over due library book.

A note to all in Charlton … DO NOT GO TO THE CHARLTON LIBRARY OR YOU MIGHT BE NEXT.

Feel free to contact the library HERE and ask them what the hell they were thinking?

Even the police officer, Sgt. Dan Dowd admits he wasn’t real keen on going to a child’s home and shaking down a 5 year old for overdue books. What else should be expect from the People’s Republic of Massachusetts.

“Nobody wanted to, on this end to get involved in it,” says Sgt. Dowd. “But the library contacted us, and the chief delegated, and apparently I was one of the low men on the totem pole.”

Girl Scouts of USA Dump Far Left Media Matters for Links to Media Bias

Girl Scouts dump Media Matters … I can but Thin Mints, Do-Si-Dos and Samoas again!!!

Under extreme pressure and national attention, the Girl Scouts of the USA have decided to no longer tell Girl Scouts to no longer go to uber-Lib website Media Matters to learn about media bias. Needless to say, the Girl Scouts organization got an ear full and their emails were swamped by irate individuals who learned that the Girl Scouts were telling 6th through 8th grade girls to refer to Media Matters, a far Left and bias website. In the future, the Girl Scouts org might want to consider the source themselves before making policy.

Girl Scouts constantly reviews our materials based on feedback and suggestions we receive from our members and we update our materials on a regular basis,” said the statement. “As a result of this process, upcoming reprints of journeys materials will not include links to Media Matters.”

One question still remains … how liberal have the Girl Scouts of America become if they allowed the Media Matters issue in the first place? Who could ever have thought Media Matters was appropriate and not a far Left website?  The Girl Scouts only reversed this policy because of public outcry and negative PR, I guarantee the hierarchy thought there was no issue with their initial stance. These folks have obviously lurched to the LEFT, how unfortunate that they would ruin what should be a middle of the road, non-political organization for kids. Instead, the LEFT is looking to indoctrinate young girls under the guise of Thin Mints.

Aliahna Lemmon, lft – Michael Plumadore, rt (Pic Hat Tip: FOX 59 WXIN)

According to the affidavit, Plumadore told police that after beating Aliahna to death, he stuffed her body into trash bags and hid her in the freezer at his trailer. He said he later chopped up her body and stuffed her remains into freezer bags.

Police said Plumadore told them he had hidden Aliahna’s head, feet and hands at his trailer and that he had discarded her other remains at a nearby business. Police obtained a warrant to search his trailer on Monday and found the body parts.

A judge ordered Plumadore held without bail or bond at an initial hearing Tuesday, sheriff’s department spokesman Cpl. Jeremy Tinkel said. He has yet to be formally charged in Aliahna’s death.

He said he later chopped up her body, stuffed her remains into freezer bags and hid some at his trailer and some at a nearby business, according to the AP.

Read Full Affidavit HERE.

How could anyone have considered this man a trusted friend? More than that, how did all this begin by the fact that the murdered and dismembered girls mother not spend the $20-$25 for a flu shot and some at no cost? Especially when a parent has a child who reportedly had special physical and emotional needs issues. Imagine that … A FLU SHOT COULD HAVE PREVENTED A PRECIOUS 9 YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRL FROM BEING BEATEN TO DEATH BY A BRICK AND THEN CUT UP INTO PIECES!!! Of course there might be more to this story.
