Tremaine Coleman and Sara Neville Arrested for Abusing Their Two Toddlers in Davenport, Iowa
Tremaine Coleman and Sara Neville were arrested on the charges of child endangerment for abusing their two toddlers. Their one-year-old daughter was covered with bloody bruises from being beaten with a belt. But even more horrific, the parents placed their two-year old son in a cold shower and beat him with a belt. Police found the boy screaming in the bath tub, sitting in 4 to 6 inches of cold water with more cold water pouring over him from the shower head. He was covered with more than 10 bloody bruises.
Most neighbors said they never heard anything unusual from the apartment. Yet someone must have because a neighbor called police Thursday afternoon after a child was heard screaming. Thank god, because police speculate that the abuse likely was going on for some time. They’ve found evidence of past injuries, like old bruises and and healed cuts.
During medical treatment, the boy’s core body temperature was in the upper 80s. Under a core body temperature of 93 degrees, a child would become sluggish, brain function could be affected, and the heart could begin to beat more slowly and irregularly.
The children were taken into foster care. Coleman and Neville are being held on $26,000 bond on two counts each of child endangerment resulting in serious injury.
According to anonymous comments on news websites, Neville, 20, is heavily pregnant with her third child. I just hope she’s kept in jail long enough to give birth and have her baby quickly taken away.

Why, i just can’t stand it? I have an 11 month old boy, how, I just don’t understand. Many on this board are even worse than this one but the image of a little boy shivering in a bathtub covered in injuries has me still in tears. Damn these people, damn them.

This one made me cry this morning. :-(
I have two boys that are the same age as these two. I can’t ever imagine them doing ANYTHING that would enrage me enough to do something like this to them. One of the articles says the two year old was being punished for soiling himself - WHAT two year old boy is potty trained??
And she’s pregnant again! Ever heard of a little thing called birth control….

I firmly believe these folks should be sterilized.The first time these people screw up abuse,neglect,assault,molestation, whatever, they should (mandatory by law)be knocked out, go into surgery come out, awake in prison or on mars totally sterile,fixed ie, no more children for these people. Children are a gift, a blessing from God wake up people! PS. the surgery paid for by the judicial system that allows these people to walk around continuing to this not only to their children but ours as well.

I agree! They better take that new baby away from her the minute it’s born, give her a hysterectomy, and let her rot!!

I’m starting to lean towards hard labor for some of these folks. Something useful like making big rocks into little ones. Lots of time to think… useful and help earn their keep and the keep of those they have neglected. Chain gang maybe?

Sara is out. The guy, who may or may not be the father (no one knows), is still in custody. The children are in state care. I know her and her family. They are good people. She has siblings with children and they don’t act like this. Her parents were my babysitters when I was little. They sure as hell didn’t teach her this behavior. I’m not defending her just the good people who did their best to raise good children who should know better than this.
Sara should not be allowed to have her children back until she has had some kind of treatment or something for what she has done. (if I ever see her again I’m gonna pop her one and ask her what the hell she was thinking) But I hope her parents or another family member will be allowed to take the children. Her mom loves her grandchildren and is a very nice person. I’d hate to see her lose any connection the them because she couldn’t control her wayward daughter.

kids can be precious and there are times when they mess up a little but that doesn’t make them any less precious… i think that older folks need to take into considerationt that kids haven’t learned yet but they don’t need to be tortured into learning a little talk or a little lecture will do i know that some kids are more difficult but that’s no excuss to toture them or even to take out anger on them so if you are not willing to change yourself and don’t blame this crap on your parents… i have parents who disciplined me not torture but disciplined and looking at them sometimes i want to learn from their mistakes!! so look at things from a different view and learn to accept and love before you plann on having kids please they are too presious to be treated like this!!!!

[…] Always, “Well, what do you want to major in. What do you want to do. WHY DON’T YOU KNOW THE ANSWERS YET?! YOU’RE ALREADY 18!!” Well, in a few days over 5 months, I will be 21. This point in my life has come far to quickly. It always seemed to me that Twenty-One would always be the never-ending search for adult-hood. I suppose it is because I’m not yet where I thought I would be when I turned 21. I have an awesome life, of course, but am no closer to “being what I want to be” than I was when I naively started college at 18. When I enrolled, I was asked, ‘What do you want to major in?’ Umm, I don’t know yet. ‘Ok, We’ll put you down as undecided and get you into a consulter.’ When I went to the undecided major’s consulter, ‘So, what do you want to major in? Have any ideas?’ Well, no, I don’t. Maybe Education, but not really. ‘Alright, we’ll get you in to see the Education major’s academic adviser.’ When I went to see the adviser, ‘Alright, so here’s what you should take for the next 4 years for 15 hours a week.’ Woah. Huh? I was only supposed to be undecided. I don’t even know who I am yet, except that I, apparently, am a teacher. Thanks for solving my problem of not having a plan for my life. I was, obviously, unaware of what was so wrong with me. But you guys fixed it. yay. I, of course, failed out that semester. I was forced to choose a major that I wasn’t motivated about, when previously I had heard, ‘Oh, no. You won’t have to choose a major until at least your junior year of college. To them, I say Yeah. Right. You obviously haven’t had any experiences with the UofA, where every student is a number, and nothing more. But, I suppose in order to get an accurate idea of my ‘dreams’ or maybe lack of them, you should know a little about me. I grew up with my 2 brothers and father. I hardly, and still, ever saw my mom. My grandmother, the only feminine role model in my life for most of it, lived on average 3 hours away. My mom? Crazy. My dad? Bi-polar. My mom? 5 failed marriages, 2 failed mothering-attempts, is a family and marriage counselor. My dad? Tied for the smartest man I know, works at Wal-Mart (even though he has the best attitude of anyone I’ve ever met about it.) and has serious rage problems. Serious. Well, the other day, I’m not quite sure how, I found this site. But I found his site and I found another site of his. Having grown up in a pretty crazy household, with anger and fear pretty much a staple in my environment (And, that’s not to say that I didn’t have great times with my family. That would probably be one thing that we did have. We had High-as-a-Kite High’s and Lower-than-Hell Lows.), and the effects of which are still affecting me today; this site affected me in a very real way. Seeing those babies, toddlers, and children that were tortured, beaten, and murdered killed me to read. I want to be a lawyer. I want to be on the front lines fighting for what I care about. I care about Abortion, Church and State Separation, and This. I have found a cause that makes me want to get out of my seat and scream at the top of my lungs and fight for these children’s rights. There was this story, about an 18 year old college student, who gave birth in her back seat, went to her dorm room, and hid it there for at least a few months. It’s sad that she thought that was her only option. Now, she’s going to get a jail sentence, at 18, because she felt there were no other options for her. Abortion rights is something I feel so unequivocally about, for this very reason. These people should not be having kids. Such as the story, about the angered father who threw his 3 year old, beautiful daughter against a wall and killed her, or the father who punched his 2 sons, killing one, and injuring the other. Or the 1 month old baby, whose father punched her when she wouldn’t stop crying; she was taken off of life support after the family had arrived to say their Goodbye’s, and only 1 month after they said their Hello’s. And there are countless stories of failures of the Child Protective services from all around the world, who failed the innocents they’re supposed to protect. I want to help them. I want to make a change. No one should ever have to go through all of that. After spending 18 years in a rage-filled home, knowing that other children are going through far worse, kills me. Call it what you like, my ‘calling’, my ‘purpose’, even I am not sure what to call it. It’s what I want to do. I hope that I can become a lawyer. I hope I have it in me to do what it takes to make the grades and pass the tests. This certainly is waay better than education. You know, they say that the longer you’re out of school, the less likely you are of going back. To them, I say PHOOEY. A lawyer is what I will be. And fighting for what I care about is what I will be doing for the rest of my life. […]

She is pregnant with her third child? Why doesn’t it ever occur to these dumb bitches to go on birth control? She doesn’t want the ones she already has! She’s just another stupid worthless piece of shit that you read about who loves to torture her kids.
