Officer's 3 year old dies after being left in car for 4 hours on paid leave

[Darwin333]

She left her 3 year old child in her squad car, while off duty, for 4 freaking hours to get some dick (speculation but very likely imho) from another officer. She basically kills her kid, in a freaking squad car no less, for some dick and because she is a cop instead of being arrested on the spot she is put on freaking paid leave! If this was any other person that didn't have a badge they would have been rightfully arrested on the spot. Even worse is she is a freaking cop, they respond to shit like that so more than anyone else she should have known better.

I would bet that she is eventually charged and imho if the officer she was fucking is found to have known the child was in the car he should be charged as well. Also the car was running and the AC was on when the cops found the poor girl, if there was an attempted cover up then he almost certainly knew and should be charged as an accomplice to that as well. Despite the fact that she will be charged it's still fucked up that she wasn't arrested on the spot and the local tax payers are forced to continue paying a person that just murdered their own child so she could get some dick.

Also, how the fuck does DHS take her child away and not inform the father? Something is seriously wrong with that as well, I wonder if her badge played a part in that as well...

Hancock County, MS — Two police officers are on paid leave while the department investigates the death of Cheyenne Hyer, 3, who died after being left in a patrol car for four hours.

Amazingly enough, neither of the officers were arrested for the child’s death — as would have been the case had they not had badges.

Glenn Grannon, with the sheriff’s department, said Clark Ladner and Cassie Barker were placed on administrative leave after 3-year-old Cheyenne Hyer died Friday. Sheriff Ricky Adam confirmed Barker is Cheyenne’s mother, according to WLOX.

According to investigators, Barker was traveling in her patrol car, with her daughter inside, when she stopped at Ladner’s home. Leaving the child in the car, Barker stayed inside Ladner’s house for around four hours.

According to reports, neighbors were stunned after another police officer found the girl in the car.

“In our small community, it really bothers all of us parents as to something like this. It’s devastating,” said Kiln resident Betsy Nugent.

According to investigators, Cheyenne had been taken from Barker previously by DHS.

Father or the child speaks out:

Barker reportedly had been involved in a previous incident in which she had to deal with the Department of Human Services “so she could have her child back.” The details of that investigation have not been made public yet.

Hyer said he knew nothing about that incident, and he wants to know how police knew how to find him, but DHS didn't. He wonders if this could all have been avoided.

Being a woman probably helps too. Doubt they would fail to inform a mother if the father had killed a child out of neglect.

I guess as long as we are going for the essential points I may as well ask how does a car get paid leave? My initial reaction, however, was pity for the child.

its a cop car?

The father wasn't informed that the child was taken away by DHS. His statement was to point out that the cops were able to get in touch with him after his child was killed but DHS didn't get in touch with him when they took his child from his ex.

dat thread title.

Hyer said he knew nothing about that incident, and he wants to know how police knew how to find him, but DHS didn't. He wonders if this could all have been avoided.

pussy pass!

 

[JSt0rm]

police blocked dhs from contacting him to help out a fellow cop thats how.

And just how did they do that?

 

[justoh]

Yeah. Title needs some work.

 

[Darwin333]

Yeah. Title needs some work.

Don't know how to edit it.

 

[Darwin333]

Completely separate from the point you are arguing, how does the DHS not contact the father when a child is taken from the mother? I would wager that there are no judicial orders against the father or they would have been raised by now, if I am wrong I will apologize.

It is a tragedy and I hope there will be justice for the poor girl. I am not sure though how 4 hours in the lock car can kill a 3 year old unless there is something else that is not revealed in the news article.

You serious? You should apologize.

You serious? You should apologize.

Easy there he didn't pickup on the part where the article insinuated that the because car was allegedly running and the AC was on when the child was found they may have tried to cover up what happened. The wording of they article wasn't the best. The writer kind of jumbled that part up.

There's only two options.

• The girl died of heat stroke and the AC was turned on after the fact.
• The girl died of unrelated causes or an underlying medical condition.

An autopsy should be able to tell.
This is a fucked up story either way.

 

[purbeast0]

Wow this is awful. I can't imagine what the kid went through not knowing wtf was happening and where her parents were to save her

It's crazy how these articles hit home a lot more once you have a kid. I just can't fathom how someone could do that to their own flesh and blood.

Amen to that last part. To me it's irrelevant how she died, just that she did after being left unattended for 4 hrs in an automobile. IMO that makes the mother responsible for the death. Period.

 

[nageov3t]

it's awful and tragic when this happens by accident (and there have been stories and research done to show how it's possible to forget something so critical as your own child), but that doesn't sound like the case here unless indeed turning the AC on was an attempt at a cover-up.

 

[mizzou]

The only times I will ever let my child sit in a car seat unattended is with the doors open, in a cool garage, and only if I need to run back inside because I forgot to grab his water cup or food. Even then, I have my eyes on the vehicle the entire time because my kitchen is right next to the door.

It only takes seconds for a car to overheat in the sun, even if the car was AC cooled before stopping.

It happens all the time, unfortunately, and I don't think everyone is ever arrested right away. There is a criminal investigation alongside a children's state welfare investigation. Eventually criminal charges could be brought. The reasoning is because it's often a tragic accidental death, often negligent. They need to build their case up so they can then go lock them up and get a conviction.

To be a bit graphic, the kid likely convulsed and threw up on themselves once the body reached a critical temperature. It's a terrifying picture, being strapped into a seat you can't get out of. Probably so dazed and disoriented from the heat that they were likely not very well conscious of what was going on.

FOUR HOURS...I can't imagine! It is an absolutely painful and terrible way to die. The mother will very likely go to jail, but it is obviously hard to resist the pitchfork & torch feeling to drag them to the gallows.

 

[allisolm]

Both cops have been fired and it sounds like charges are close. The article says they were suspended without pay during the investigation. Sure looks like there was hanky panky going on and that it was not anything new as the female had been disciplined more than a year ago for "conduct violations that were relevant to the investigation into her daughter’s death." I really hope they have the book thrown at them for this.

Some people are beyond understanding.

If you are saying you can't imagine purposefully leaving your child in the car for more than a minute I agree.

If you are saying you are a conscientious parent so it's not likely for you to forget your child in a car, I would agree.

If you are saying it's literally impossible for you to forget your child in a car I'll have to disagree. If the right situation was to occur any person could forget their child. While that situation is extremely unlikely it happens to several parents each year.
