Shouldn't Her Uterus Have Fallen Out By Now? Along With Michelle Duggar's
Oh God, Stop The Voices *SCREAM*
So sad to see a child this young and already so disturbed.
It sounds like mom made Frankie (the little boy) the man of the house. He was the one that had to remind her when her bills were due.
She completely effed that kid up.
This woman sounds like a crappy mother across the board, but this -- "Since the day her baby died, Steele has been 'aloof,' Gualtieri said, unwilling to admit her son was at fault, initially disinterested in the baby’s condition. On the night of the beating, as emergency workers tried to revive the little girl, Steele did not help, the sheriff said, but instead walked to her kitchen and put away her groceries" -- makes me wonder if she had postpartum depression. Not that it even matters in the end, I guess.
I wonder if there's any hope for Frankie or if he's doomed?
It could be but I think it's most likely a whole combination of things. PPD, her age, mental issues, and her husband passing away. I'm not against older women having babies, but IMO, she is way too old. I can't understand why the doctors even did the procedures. That's nutty.
Unless Frankie gets some serious help he's going to be a thread on here one day. He shows all the signs
http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/report-d...oy-6-1.3033931Pinellas County Sheriff's records show the caller told child protection investigators on Aug. 2 that the boy was abusive to his younger brother and animals and that he had likely started a fire that displaced his family in July.
This. It creeped me out. How do you even THINK of something like this while the murder of your baby is being investigated? And to put away groceries while they're working on the baby? I don't know, maybe it is post-partum depression. She shouldn't have any more babies in any case.
As for six year old Frankie... hurting animals, abusive to children, possible fire-starting? He sounds like a serial killer in training.
Everything about this case is tragic. All of it.
RIP little angel....
You are talking to a woman who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe.

I had never heard of this woman before reading this thread and I'm just stunned. First of all, why would a female her age want to keep getting pregnant? Could she have thought she would be offered some sort of television deal? She made a comment that she always wanted to "be a mom on a reality show." Maybe when that didn't take place, she started taking it out on the kids. I don't think she even bothered to try and raise them at all. I don't get the impression that she set the kid up to murder the baby or coach him. Kids that little just can't be counted on to be consistent, IMO. I went searching YouTube for her "reality" show shit. I'll post a couple of links, but I think someone posted one of them earlier.

https://www.tampabay.com/news/courts...t-the/2323113/LARGO — The case of a 13-day-old baby girl who was beaten to death by her 6-year-old brother in a locked minivan last August concluded Monday morning when their mother was sentenced to five years' probation.
In a brief hearing in Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge Michael Andrews' courtroom, Kathleen Steele pleaded guilty to a felony charge of leaving a child unattended in a vehicle causing injury.
She faced up to five years in prison, but sentencing guidelines for Steele, who has no criminal record, called for probation.
"We agreed to a sentence that was within the guidelines," said Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Bernie McCabe. "She pleaded guilty and that's it."
Steele, 62, declined to comment after the hearing. Her attorney, Denis deVlaming, said the plea will allow Steele to focus on her family case plan with her two sons, now ages 7 and 4.
Since her arrest, the boys were placed in separate foster homes, deVlaming said. Steele's separation from the boys has been "traumatic" for the family, he added.
"She's still grieving," he said. "Nobody understands what this has caused her."
Steele, originally from Chicago, moved to Florida in 1972. In 2009, she was featured on the reality show I'm Pregnant and … 55 Years Old. Steele said on the show that she had delayed having a family while working long hours.
She and her husband had their first child in 2009. After becoming a widow in 2011, Steele had two more children using his frozen sperm.
On Aug. 8 about 1:50 p.m., Steele was running errands with her newborn daughter and two sons, then ages 6 and 3. She walked into a cellphone repair shop in St. Petersburg.
For 28 minutes, she left her children in the minivan with the doors locked, engine off and windows up.
The baby, Kathleen Bridget, began to cry and her oldest brother picked her up from the car seat. He smashed the girl's head against the minivan's ceiling, dropped her to the floor and clobbered her, the Pinellas Sheriff's Office said.
Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said last year the girl had fractures in her skull like "cracks in the sidewalk."
After making two other stops, Steele said she did not notice her daughter's injuries until they reached their rental home in North Redington Beach.
The Sheriff's Office arrested Steele on a charge of aggravated manslaughter of a child, a first-degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison. Last month, prosecutors filed a lesser charge, leaving a child unattended in a vehicle causing injury.
Steele will continue to see her children in supervised visits during her probation.
Her youngest, deVlaming said, still doesn't understand why he can't come home.
If this useless ?mother ?gets those boys back, it will only reinforce this terrible suspicion that there is no hope for the world. She didn?t have to have those babies, but once she did she was obligated to get them or be for them the best parent possible.
I don?t know about six-year-olds in general, but I remember myself as a six-year-old and my siblings too. If anyone of us killed a small animal let alone an infant we would have all been suicidal by the time we were nine.
I really do hope those two boys have all the intensive care they need to overcome their beginnings lack of empathy that might have created in them. I don?t want them to become sociopaths.
You see, this is why some people wish that you need a license to reproduce.
5 years probation?! Wtf. What happened to little Frankie?
Kids who kill animals will always be a red flag to me. I know that they're saying now that it doesn't always lead to murder... But I find anyone who kills anything for fun disturbing. Poor Frankie, poor kids. I hope that she doesn't have custody.
