Jhessye Shockley , 5, AZ -- MISSING/PRESUMED DEAD

[Cheyne]

What is wrong with our justice system? How did this bitch get custody of her kids back after 4 counts of causing injury to her children? And if she was supposed to do 8 years starting in 2006, that would be 2014, right?

Did she leave California before actually going to jail and hightail it to Arizona? This makes no sense to me.

LC - You called the ball on this one!

All over the local news about Jahessye's mother's criminal conviction!

Hahahaha!

Our local 'talent' should contact you first!

BTW - It ain't ass kissin' when you give props when props are due.

Even though the Police state the mom's alibi is "solid", I have huge questions about leaving a five year old with a 12 or 13 year old sibling.

Fucking broodmare mother!

Child Protective Services (CPS) should be all over this.

[Lady Cop]

the elderly lady witness who swears she saw child pulled into a car by a black female with a bun...did she see the mother do it?
does mother have access to a car?

her record is one of vicious pathological systematic abuse.

Even though the Police state the mom's alibi is "solid", I have huge questions about leaving a five year old with a 12 or 13 year old sibling.

This sounds nuts, but when I was 12, I babysat the 4 kids across the street (ages, 4, 6, 8, and 10) while their parents took a trip to Wyoming (from Calif). I cooked for the kids - did the laundry, and this is the worse thing - the family had a swimming pool and I supervised the kids swimming. Another family I babysat for when I was 12 had four kids under 5. I'm closing in on 60, so this was nearly a half century ago - another time, another place.

12-13 is 8^th grade. My daughter babysat at that age as well. I think it's harder babysitting siblings though. The younger ones aren't inclined to listen and the older ones can feel put upon by having to watch the younger ones.

Lady with a bun? It's sure sounding like the mother was involved.

After reading so many of these kinds of stories I've finally reached the point where I have no sympathy for the parents of missing children. None. The only emotion I feel right now is disgust, I look forward to the day that I don't feel anything at all.

There is something definitely wrong with our judicial system and CPS that allowed this woman to get her kids back. Notice that if she had served her time from the 2006 conviction, Jahessye should not have been conceived. Unless, of course, she was conceived while mom was incarcerated, and therefore, the reason for Mom's release?

[Lady Cop]

they don't usually release pregnant women unless DOC doesn't want to pay the bills for labor and delivery, etc. depends on the charges.

i want to know if the kids at home now have been removed yet??



police have dismantled the command post. That means they are done with the search.

Although they will continue to follow up on and investigate leads, they will not be actively searching.

I was hinting more along the lines of a claimed rape by a prison guard, like some other mother whose little girl is missing.

"We are aware of relatives' histories as well as father's histories," said Glendale Police Sgt. Brent Coombs.

"Everyone is a person of interest," Coombs said.

Coombs was asked the whereabouts of Hunter's other children.

"The other children are, I believe, with family members," Coombs said.

According to documents, Hunter was accused of whipping at least two of her four children with an extension cord.

ABC15 was there when detectives knocked at the apartment where Jahessye and her mother Jerice Hunter live.

Hunter opened the door and detectives went inside, spending close to 20 minutes with the girl's mother.

It was the only time Hunter was publicly seen.

Her uncle, Johnny Johnson, said Hunter has had enough with media exposure since young Jahessye was reported missing Tuesday afternoon .

According to Johnson, Hunter is in desperate need of rest after days without sleeping and eating.

“She’s not a mean person,” he added.

“When they put all that crazy stuff on the news about her, how do you think she feels?” Johnson said, referring to Hunter’s criminal record .

Prior to visiting Hunter, investigators visited the apartments and talked to several neighbors around 9 a.m.

Somia Abdelgdir, through a translator, said detectives asked her about the day Jahessye went missing.

Abdelgdir, who lives in the apartment across the way, said she helped Hunter look for Jahessye shortly after she realized the little girl was missing.

Abdelgdir drove Hunter, who is eight months pregnant, around the neighborhood and remembers Hunter crying and being stressed out.

Jerice Hunter, the mother of a Glendale 5-year-old girl missing since last week, said Sunday in an interview with 12 News that she is a suspect in her daughter's disappearance.

The girl's grandmother said Sunday that state Child Protective Services has removed the girl's three siblings from their pregnant mother.

Glendale police said Sunday they are continuing their investigation into the disappearance of Jahessye Shockley and that the mother's criminal history of child abuse is part of the probe.

Hunter's conviction in a child abuse case "is part of what we are looking at," Glendale police Sgt. Brent Coombs said. "They (investigators) are aware of her criminal history."

Glendale police have said that Hunter is not a focus of the investigation and that they are exploring many aspects of the case.

In 2006, while living in California, Hunter, then 32, pleaded no contest to four counts of corporal injury to a child. She had four children at the time, a teenage boy and three young girls. Jahessye was not yet born.

Court papers say that between April and October 2005, Hunter and her husband, convicted sex offender George Shockley, did "willfully and wrongfully inflict cruel and inhuman corporal punishment and injury, resulting in a traumatic condition" upon all four children.

Hunter was sentenced to eight years in prison. It is unclear why and when she was released.

A court-appointed psychologist concluded Hunter deeply regretted whipping one of the children with an extension cord and that counseling would help her learn more effective parenting skills, according to court records.

On Sunday, the children's grandmother, Shirley Johnson of California, said the family is devastated that Jahessye's three sisters, ages 13, 7 and 9, are no longer at home. Worse, she said, is that they have been split up and are staying with three different foster families.

"What kind of message is that sending their sister?" Johnson asked, referring to Jahassye. "That they can be taken too?"

Hunter said she had returned from running an errand earlier Tuesday when she discovered Jahassye, whom she had left with her other children, was gone.

Coombs, the police spokesman, confirmed that the children "are in a safe place." CPS could not be reached for comment.

In an interview last week, Johnson acknowledged her daughter's troubled past but said she had turned her life around and was devoted to her children.

" I need a lawyer to help me get these other kids," she said.

Maybe she has turned her life around.

Maybe her children aren't being abused, the house is clean and the frig is full of food.

But the spectre of a criminal past is and continues to be an obstacle to overcome.

Here is a fb page for Jahessye:

Ironically - the "likes" are 12 times greater (918 versus 79) than another "Justice" site, having a mother with a criminal past.

Draw your own conclusions.

Oh shit. What happened to that little girl?

[sharit]

could the mother have lost her mind when she found the young girl wandering around? she has a bun in her head, could she be the one who placed her in the car? you can bet if jahessy is not found her baby will get taken away directly after its birth. and should be taken.

[Lady Cop]

"If it was just her walking away, we would have found her by now," Glendale police Sgt. Brent Coombs told The Associated Press. "Obviously she's not with us. Somebody knows something or somebody has interacted with her and put her in a place, and we just haven't found her yet."

Police have no suspects, evidence or promising leads -- nothing that points them definitively to what happened.

Coombs said the girl's mother is not a suspect despite comments she made to reporters.

"They're treating me like that -- the interrogations and the way I've been spoken to," Jerice Hunter, Jahessy's mother, said Monday in an interview with the AP. "(They're) very disrespectful." NOOO!

Coombs said police have treated Hunter no differently than any other mother of a missing child. They conducted an initial interview as well as follow-ups because "people remember things, details, as time goes by."

He said Hunter might believe she's a suspect because "emotions are speaking."

Glendale PD to hold presser at 10 AM MST, Tuesday.

My guess . . . updates and clarification due to the scaling back of Police presence.

[BlueTiki]

On local news:

Glendale PD is cordoning off a section of a landfill. No digging, yet.

Grandma is meeting (behind closed doors) with Glendale's Mayor, City Manager and Chief of Police.

Glendale PD is now offering a $10,000 reward.

National Media is keeping silent about this case.
