Rampant Abuse and Murders of Children

[HairOfTheDog]

This shit is old, so old and trampling all over people's rights is sounding more and more appealing to me. Fuck those people. Not just anyone is capable of raising a child and I'd love to take the fucking option right out of their hands. I'm sickened by this shit day after fuckin' day. It's heartbreaking. Children are to be treasured and these people and others like them are incapable of parenting.

It's old and rampant; it makes me angry too. These kids deserve not to be forgotten and it's good to be outraged on their behalf and to hope that the monsters who prey upon them suffer for their crimes, IMO.

This poor little guy fell through the cracks. His body was found and identified last week.


Jeremiah Oliver, 5. RIP.

Jeremiah had been missing since September. Authorities first learned of his disappearance in December, when his sister alerted school officials. The sister told police that her mother's boyfriend beat the mother and the kids, held a knife to her mother's throat, etc...


^ This is Jeremiah as a baby, with his mother and her boyfriend.

The family was being monitored by state social workers since 2011. And after Jeremiah's disappearance, their case led to intense scrutiny of the state Department of Children and Families.

Three employees of the agency - a social worker, a supervisor and an area manager - were fired after an internal investigation. Officials said the social worker had not made required monthly visits to the family.

The boy’s mother, Elsa Oliver - 28, and her boyfriend, Alberto Sierra -23, were arrested in December and indicted last month on a number of child abuse-related charges.


^Elsa Oliver is accused of permitting bodily injury to a child, three counts of reckless endangerment to a child, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. She doesn't even look like the same person as the one photographed 5 years ago.


^ Alberto Sierra was charged with kidnapping, four counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, three counts of reckless endangerment of a child, and indecent assault and battery on a child.

Jeremiah's body wasn't found until Friday. It was discovered by a police search team about 40 feet off I-190 near Sterling, which is about 12 miles from Fitchburg. He was wrapped in blanket-like material and packed in material that resembled a suitcase.

Authorities would not say what led them to the location or how long the body may have been there. The site is near an area that is regularly mowed on the side of the highway but would not have been visible to passing cars.

When the autopsy is complete, I hope to see murder charges brought against both Elsa Oliver and Sierra. I expect to see prosecutors offer Elsa a deal to testify against Sierra.

Jeremiah had lived with his mother, her boyfriend and his siblings in a Massachusetts' shelter.

His father is Jose Oliver -- “I wasn’t hoping to find him like that — wrapped in a blanket in a suitcase on the side of a highway like he was an animal or something,” Jose Oliver said from his home in New Britain, Conn.

Jose Oliver said he was “lost, angry and crushed” when the medical examiner called to say Jeremiah had been identified.

Mr. Oliver said he plans to attend both trials to learn every detail of what led to his son’s death. “There has to be a reason,” Jose Oliver said. “I want to know everything that happened. You just don’t kill a 5-year-old.”

I don't know how involved Mr. Oliver was in his son's life.
