oh my God.... how could anyone do that to a child? He THINKS that little baby was dead when he stuffed him in a garbage bag and dumped him like garbage in the woods? He THINKS!?
re the other guy - you know I'm really hoping those little boys are sitting somewhere playing video games happy as can be but it sure doesn't seem likely
I think the old 'eye for an eye' punishment would be a great idea to bring back. Do to the two of them all the things they did to those sweet little kids, and then throw them out in the woods, stuffed into a sack.
One of the comments on that story says the guy believes the dad is protecting the kids from an abusive situation- if that's true, why would he give them to somebody else- why wouldn't he just run with them?
and why does it seem that the authorities aren't doing enough to get the truth out of this guy? is it just my frustration building on this, or does it seem to ya'll they're just twiddling their thumbs?
and why isn't that Mama speaking up? for God's sake, I'd be in front of the cameras every time they gave me a chance, talking about how much I love my kids and begging somebody to let us know they're all right.
this whole thing stinks.
for the LEOs on here- do ya'll have any insights into this mess?

me either - except very localized news (inside county - no news outlets local). and even then, taken with a grain of salt.
last night, monday, candlelight vigil for DeBlase children.
CITRONELLE, Ala. — They came holding candles on a chilly Monday night to grieve, to pray and to honor siblings Chase and Natalie DeBlase, children almost none of them knew.
About 400 people, including many entire families, converged on the site off Beverly Jeffries Highway near Prine Road, where 4-year-old Natalie’s remains were found Saturday.
A 4-foot wooden cross bore a picture of a smiling Natalie, while a Santa teddy bear sat at the base in the floodlit clearing.
The children’s stepmother, Heather Leavell-Keaton, and their father, John DeBlase, remained in Mobile County Metro Jail. Leavell-Keaton was returned to Mobile from Louisville, Ky., about 1 a.m. today.
skelton waived extradition hearing to MI today, and was returned immediately.
poor thing lost some weight in jail.
TOLEDO, Ohio – The father of three boys missing since Thanksgiving waived his right to an extradition hearing on Tuesday and was promptly processed and driven away to face charges across the state border in Michigan.
John Skelton, 39, had been fighting extradition on three charges of parental kidnapping in the disappearance of his sons Andrew, 9, Alexander, 7, and Tanner, 5. But during a Tuesday morning hearing in Toledo he agreed to his return to his home state.
Within an hour of the hearing's end, Skelton was driven off by Morenci, Mich., Police Chief Larry Weeks and another officer.
Skelton's attorney, Merle Dech, would not say why Skelton decided to stop fighting extradition.

MOBILE, Alabama -- Heather Leavell-Keaton beat her 4-year-old stepdaughter with a belt and hairbrush, caused burns to her body and forced her to sit in a chair all day, according to documents filed in court in Mobile this week.
Leavell-Keaton, 22, also beat and burned her 3-year-old stepson and later dumped the siblings’ lifeless bodies, the documents allege.
Investigators found the remains of Natalie and Chase DeBlase last week.
Leavell-Keaton is charged with abuse, while her common-law husband, John DeBlase, the children’s father, is charged with 2 counts of murder.
On Tuesday, her lawyer, Darryl Bender of Birmingham, said the charges against her appear to be based only on claims by DeBlase.
“Someone has just made those allegations, and I’m not aware to this point of any documentation, any police reports, any medical treatment — anything that would indicate those charges are true, anything that would suggest that she did any of those things,” Bender said.
Investigators discovered Chase’s remains in a wooded area near Vancleave in coastal Mississippi on Wednesday, and Natalie’s body was found near Citronelle in north Mobile County three days later.
Police say that Leavell-Keaton and DeBlase are blaming each other for killing the children.
DeBlase, who lived in Mobile, met Leavell-Keaton while she was a student at Spring Hill College, although her family lives in Kentucky.
At a hearing Tuesday, Mobile County District Judge Charles McKnight set a $206,000 bail for Leavell-Keaton, who was transferred this week from a jail in Louisville, Ky., where the children were first reported missing last month.
Leavell-Keaton, whose family says she is legally blind, was escorted into McKnight’s courtroom with the help of sheriff’s deputies. She stood at a podium, her head tilted down.
She had been arrested in Louisville on 2 counts of willful child abuse, but prosecutors upgraded those to the more severe felony of aggravated child abuse. Prosecutors also added 2 counts of abuse of a corpse.
The judge explained that the 2 lesser charges of child abuse had been dropped.
“So I only have four now?” Leavell-Keaton said. “OK.”
McKnight also required that $50,000 of the $206,000 bail be paid in cash in order for her to be released.
Asked after the hearing whether Leavell-Keaton would be charged with murder, Assistant District Attorney Jo Beth Murphree said, “That is a question that I cannot answer right now. Not today. I can tell you the investigation is ongoing, and as the investigation progresses, we will upgrade charges as the facts dictate.”
Court documents filed this week recount several alleged instances this year in which Leavell-Keaton beat, burned and abused the two children. In the case of the boy, the documents also describe Leavell-Keaton “snatching him up by his shirt, shaking and screaming at him.”
Police have said the girl was killed in March, while the boy was killed in June. Leavell-Keaton dumped the young girl’s on March 4 and dumped the boy’s body on June 20, according to the court documents.
DeBlase faces similar abuse of a corpse charges along with the felony murder counts. State law defines felony murder as participating in a serious crime that leads to a murder.
His lawyer, Jim Sears, said that DeBlase maintains his innocence. “He’s saying he did not murder the children,” Sears said.
The Press-Register reported last week that documents filed in court against DeBlase allege that he watched as Leavell-Keaton tortured the children, without stopping her.
According to those documents, Leavell-Keaton bound Natalie’s hands and feet with duct tape, shoved a sock into her mouth, put her in a suitcase and locked it in a closet 14 hours.
On another occasion, according to the documents, Leavell-Keaton bound Chase to a broom with duct tape, wrapping his hands at his sides and the broom to his back so as to force him to stand upright. From there, the boy was made to stand in the corner, a sock forced into his mouth, while the couple slept for the night.
Police have said that DeBlase admitted to dumping his children’s bodies.
MORENCI, Michigan (WXYZ) - In an exclusive report from WXYZ in Detroit, the mother of three young boys, missing since Thanksgiving, is speaking out for the first time since their disappearance.
Tanya Skelton believes Andrew, Alexander and Tanner, who were with her estranged husband when they went missing, are still alive.
Skelton says her faith gets her through the hard times "I love you, I miss you and I want you to come home."
"It's my faith in God. When I'm at my lowest, I have my Bible out and the word speaks to me and calms me down."
John Skelton claims he gave the boys to an acquaintance and that he tried to commit suicide.
John Skelton told a judge this morning that he turned his three sons over to someone from an “organization” at his Morenci home on Thanksgiving Day.
The whereabouts of Skelton’s missing sons, Andrew, 9, Alexander, 7, and Tanner, 5, has been the subject of searches and intense investigation efforts since the boys were reported missing by their mother on Nov. 26.
“A person in a van,” was Skelton’s answer when Lenawee County Circuit Judge Margaret M.S. Noe asked who he turned the children over to at his home.
“I know the organization, but I didn’t know the person,” Skelton said.
“What organization?” Noe asked.
“I would rather not say at this time,” Skelton answered.
Noe told Skelton he could be held in custody indefinitely if found guilty of contempt for failing to comply with her Nov. 29 order giving Tanya Skelton full custody of the children.
Tanya Skelton was called to the stand at the hearing to testify that John Skelton failed to return their three sons after spending Thanksgiving with him. The couple are separated while a divorce case is pending.
When she took the witness stand, Skelton pointed to his finger and asked his wife, “Why aren’t you wearing your ring, hon?”
She did not respond to the question.
Tanya Skelton was wearing a T-shirt with her sons’ photographs and the words, “Prayers for a safe return home.”
Morenci Police Chief Larry Weeks said John Skelton’s claim of turning the boys over to an organization is not new to him.
“I’m skeptical of what he’s saying,” Weeks said. “We’re not expecting a positive outcome.”
I keep hoping against hope that those little boys are somewhere safe, and he's doing this to torment his soon to be ex-wife, especially after asking why she wasn't wearing her ring. Seems like this is very calculated.
subject: Skelton Children;
The news says four bodies of water was searched, does anyone know if one of those bodies of water was Hudson Lake and Recreation area located between Adrian Michigan and Morenci?
What I am posting here as a possible tip is based on Psychic information that I received after touching the picture of John Skelton and I was directed to Hudson lake and could see just what it looked like and I saw an area of water.
The next day as I awakened I saw three bubbles float upward from the water and a mans voice said:
"I shot them."
Does anyone know if John Skelton had access to a gun?
In one story I read he said he killed the kids wrapped them in a sheet with a teddy bear and put them in a dumpster and now that I have received this psychic information I am not sure just where they will be found but Hudson lake may be a place of interest if they haven't already ruled that out.
