Disgusting. How do people this twisted stay under the radar until it's too late.
Hotsauce McGilacuty - You can't kill ghosts. They're already dead.
I seriously hate people. What the hell is wrong with these people???? I don't understand.
No words can express my disgust for these to fucking ugly ass losers.
How can someone do that to their own baby? Fucking disgusting
All the baby killings are awful but this one..I mean really just how the FUCK do you live in a house, carrying on your normal lives, playing games, eating, sleeping and let a baby just die? While abuse and murder of any child is horrible I can at least wrap my head around a parent losing it. But this? I just can't begin to understand.

I just can't wrap my head around the fact that it was 8 days.
They starved that baby his whole life :x He only gained 2 pounds since birth and was 5 months old.
RIP Baby

It's crazy. He must have cried and screamed. How could they just carry on with their lives whilst he died in the next room?

He had to have screamed for a long time before he got too weak and/or tired or just gave up. I am just at a total loss on how anyone could do this. Imagine that poor little guy, so hungry and thirsty, crying because it's all he knows to do to get help, and nobody coming to his rescue. These freaks need to be tortured.

I guess this little boy just slipped through the cracks. You should have thought that a nurse or someone would have noticed how small he was.
She has a daughter too.

They probably never took him to the doctor for checkups. They were too busy playing games.
Sickening.
I bet they were playing World of Warcraft for 8 days straight.
Nerd baby killers.

Were they twins or is that an older pic of the little girl?

They must not have or else they had an extremely careless pediatrician. When my second child was two weeks old, I took her for her checkup and she hadn't gained enough weight and I remember how concerned they were, enough to send me into a panic. They saw her every week after that until she was to her age appropriate weight, as well as doing a bunch of tests. I can't imagine any doctor who wanted to keep their license not making a big deal out of such an underweight baby.
This is just heartbreaking and disgusting. People like that deserve every punishment imaginable. Life in prison isn't good enough. You have to be beyond a sick person to watch your own child slowly die like that.

I agree.....if they were that evil the poor baby was probably never seen by a doctor. The other thing I wonder in cases like this is where were family and friends? Even if their family members thought they were losers wouldn't they have extreme concern for a new baby and stop over to visit? The daughter lived with relatives so why would they think they could take care of a baby?
I hope they die......

I have to wonder who "dropped the baby off?"
Anyway even if they didn't want the baby wouldn't you think one or the other could at least take it to a fire station, a church, someplace? and leave the baby with people who would take care of him.
Strap them to a chair and leave them to their fate.

"Police investigation and medical and pathological
examination would reveal that Benjamin had been strapped into
this car seat and had not left it in eight days. All waste and urine
had collected beneath him and his buttocks, legs and back were
eaten into by the resulting poison. Some waste left in Benjamin’s
colon revealed resulted in constipation because it could not be
pushed out of his body due to starvation."
This is one of the saddest things, ever. Makes me sick.
RIP Benjamin
What the fuck is wrong with people?
Sometimes you just gotta say "What the Fuck?!?"
OOOO...A lot going on here. Good Find!!

People v. Tracy D. Hermann
People v. James E. Sargent
Peoria County Case 08 CF 200
On February 12, 2008, Peoria Police responded to a call at
3012 W. Proctor Street in Peoria. Found dead and strapped in a
car seat set that had been placed in a crib was 5 month old
Benjamin Sargent. The defendants are his parents.
Benjamin was wearing a blue snow suit. It was zipped up.
The temperature in the room was near 80 degrees. Benjamin’s
eyes were open, his hands were clenched in a fistlike position
and, although dead, his eyes were staring straight ahead.
Police investigation and medical and pathological
examination would reveal that Benjamin had been strapped into
this car seat and had not left it in eight days. All waste and urine
had collected beneath him and his buttocks, legs and back were
eaten into by the resulting poison. Some waste left in Benjamin’s
colon revealed resulted in constipation because it could not be
pushed out of his body due to starvation.
James Sargent was present at the house and, when
interviewed on that day, and again on February 18, his answers
to questions confirmed for police that Benjamin had been
returned to the residence on February 4, 2008, by a grandmother
and he was in the same car seat, wearing the same snow suit,
and confined in the same manner as when he was found dead 8
days later. A person who ‘stayed’ with others in the garage of the
defendants told police that he was the one who observed
Benjamin in the car seat, and on the living room floor, and that it
was he who found this odd and so, he placed the child (while in
the car seat) in a baby crib in a bedroom.
The house was kept in an outrageous condition with
nothing in its place, food left out and spoiled, and belongings
scattered everywhere. Clothing, articles, spoilage, and debris
were stacked everywhere around the house.
James Sargent told police he “thought” he had maybe
moved Benjamin once or twice during the eight day period but,
upon further questioning, he conceded that he may not have
been moved at all. The person from the garage tells police that
Benjamin was found just as he had left him eight days earlier.
The 'mother' was in Iowa, where she had gone to see-a
male boyfriend she found over the internet. She told police that
caring for her baby Benjamin was not her duty and that it was
James' responsibility. Before heading to Iowa on the day before
Benjamin was found dead, Tracy Hermann said she looked at
the baby in the crib and presumed he was sleeping so she said
she stuck a bottle between the baby and the side of the carseat
so that when he woke up he could grab it and feed himself if he
was hungry. In case the court missed it earlier, Benjamin
Sargent was five months old.
Tracy Hermann also has a daughter, almost 3, who Tracy
Hermann seems to have 'given'away' to a family member. A
shelter care hearing on that matter now pends in the circuit court
because I am also seeking to remove her permanently and
forever from any contact with Tracy Herman.
Preliminary examination of Benjamin Sargent’s body
showed that he weighed 10 pounds, suffered from sepsis in the
blood and tissue, was without proper liquid and food and that he
died from starvation due to neglect by the two defendants who
stand before you, Tracey D. Herman and James E. Sargent.
Question. Do we have the right myspace for mom? It says that she logged in yesterday and it says her name is Katie. But everything else matches...weird.

I submitted this and when I searched for a myspace under her name nothing came up. I got it from his myspace and she had pics of the kids and like you said everything else matched so I went with it. I didn't notice that she said her name is Katie though. I still think it's her. She forgot to feed her baby or even take him out of his carseat for 8 days. Perhaps she forgot her name, too.
She also has a friend on her myspace from Ottumwa, Iowa. Maybe who she went to visit?
