The Gaston Gazette, owner of the Shelby Star reports that Gaston County Superior Court Judge Robert Bell just signed an order awarding a Father $12 Million for the Death of his daughter. Many will remember the Bessemer City Case where the mother left her three-year-old daughter with her boyfriend while she went to work as a bartender at the “Whiskey River” in nearby downtown Bessemer City. The boyfriend was convicted of First-Degree Murder for killing the three-year-old girl, burying here in a shallow grave nearby and then called the police to report the child mission. Only to have the Gaston Police find the child’s grave in relatively short order. The boyfriend was charged, convicted and sentenced to life in prison. The mother was not charged with anything.
All that is a tragedy. However, DSS was called out five times on the mother and her boyfriend before the child was killed. Gaston County Police were also called out several times before the child was brutally murdered by beating her to death. Authorities tasked with keeping children safe were totally involved and totally failed their task. Nothing in the article spoke to any reprimands being issued at DSS or the Gaston Police. Not a peep of this $12 Million award was printed in the Shelby Star, which normally prints Gaston county news in the Shelby issue.
The Father’s lawyer was clear about this $3 million for damages and $9 Million for punitive damages, totaling $12 million, saying this “will send a message to other parents in the same situation.
Duh!!! Remind me to never hire that lawyer for anything. The Gaston Gazette article did not identify the lawyer or I would tell you right here and now. The people that need lessons sent to them are the DSS and the Gaston Police. I would also say that the judge should also issue an order to spay the mother as well. Citizens in Gaston County should call for the Judge to be neutered. That would be a message worth sending.
I would also recommend some spaying and neutering for the Sexual predators over at Cleveland County Schools and on the School Board and administration that enables them. Another message worth sending.
