3-year-old's death spurs campaign to prevent abuse

Covered in bruises, 3-year-old Schala hid from her mother's boyfriend in the bathroom.

She squeezed herself between the toilet and the vanity and died there, alone.

The details of her death shook longtime nurses and veteran police officers.

Everyone who touched Schala's case - the detectives, paramedics, doctors and social workers - were so disturbed by what they saw last August that they took action.

They united with child advocates on a statewide campaign to describe the horrors of child abuse and what might be done to prevent it.

"I cried for two weeks, every day," said nurse Kepra Jack, who tended to Schala when she arrived at Mercy Gilbert Medical Center. "I cried when I was taking care of her, and I cried myself to sleep that night.

"It was the hardest death I've had, ever, in 11 years. I don't know when or if it will ever go away," Jack said, tears still coming to her eyes seven months after the girl's death. "All I could think was, 'Somebody has failed.' "

Schala arrived at the hospital naked, her hair wet, her body purple and blue.

She had marks on her arms, legs, shoulders, head, wrist and back that matched the stitching of a leather belt that Chandler police found on the bathroom vanity. Bruises covered the back of her hand; she had raised her arms to protect herself.

Police reports say Schala upset her mother's boyfriend by not listening to him.

Susan Witbracht bathed her daughter that morning because she wasn't feeling well. According to the police reports, Witbracht's boyfriend, Dauntorian Sanders, then hit the little girl over and over with the belt.

Schala's face fell between her knees, and then Sanders whipped her back, investigators reported. She was picked up and dropped again and again on the bathroom floor, police say. While she was sprawled on the tile, a door was slammed repeatedly into her head, reports say.

Sanders went to Walgreens to buy cigarettes, the reports say. When he came back, Schala was naked, propped against the vanity, her legs in front of her, her eyes and mouth open.

Sanders calmly called 911. When emergency help arrived, it was too late. He and Witbracht were arrested. The case is pending in Maricopa County Superior Court.

"You get the job done. You can't be emotional about it. You can be emotional later," said veteran homicide Detective Gary Fuller, the lead investigator on Schala's case.

Fuller's co-workers say he was extremely professional and helpful throughout the entire case, but afterward, it was clear the tragedy had affected him.

"It's the helplessness you feel, and you're angry it happened, because there wasn't a part of her body that wasn't bruised," Fuller said. "By the time it gets to me, it's too late. I don't investigate child abuses. I investigate child homicides. And that is so frustrating."

In the week after Schala died, the hospital held meetings to help workers cope. Workers held a memorial service for Schala in the hospital chapel and invited police and firefighters to attend.

Her body was cremated and sent to her father in New York. Schala's dad, who barely knew her, was devastated, Fuller said.

Nine days after Schala's case, a 3-week-old girl was beaten and molested by her father. By then, Fuller's unit had investigated four child-abuse homicides in the past year.

Fuller asked the public-information unit to see if anything could be done. In response, Sgt. Joe Favazzo turned to ChildHelp, a national foundation based in Arizona that assists child-abuse victims.

A dozen agencies, hospitals and police departments united to create public-service announcements and billboard advertisements and to start panel discussions on public-television stations.

They're planning a rally for the first week of April, which is national Child Abuse Prevention Month, and a proclamation by the governor.

In the first public-service announcement, faces of children flash on screen while a dispatcher talks a caller through compressions on a patient.

Two more videos are in the works for parents who struggle with anger and outsiders who see signs of abuse. The videos point both sides to resources that can help.

Please….. make sure your acquaintances who might be in the County Lockup read about this.  Dauntorian Sanders needs to be whipped to death.

 

SIGH......

A woman in her 70s was shot dead Saturday, and her husband told investigators that it happened while he was cleaning a firearm police said.

Phoenix police were called to a home near Tatum and Cave Creek roads around 4:30 p.m. after the homeowner called 911, said Desert Horizon precinct Lt. Tina Gonzalez.

The husband, who is in his 70s, told police that he was in the bedroom cleaning his handgun when a round went through the window and struck his wife, who was outside cleaning the backyard, Gonzalez said. Their names were not released.

Detectives are still investigating and putting the pieces together, Gonzalez said.

2010 CENSUS HOW-TO
Arthur's Response to the Government Leviathan

I just received an envelope from the US Census Bureau informing me that the Census will be sent next week. So let me get this straight...you are sending me a letter to tell me that the Census will be here next week? Really? In an era of out of control government spending and suicidal debt levels our government decided that spending at least $100 million dollars to send out these waste-of-time notices was prudent. Just another example of a government that has become a Leviathan, ever growing, ever present and increasingly hostile to the People. I know, I know...the Census is something that is delineated by the Constitution. Its purpose WAS to reapportion Congress and provide the government a road map of present and future revenues. Now its been turned into a "Make sure to respond so your area can get the funding it NEEDS". It is now an excuse for more debt spending, more income redistribution and more government intrusion into your life.

There are three approaches you can take on the Census. One is to answer the questions honestly. This, to me, is unconscionable. The government is not our friend and they don't need to know a fucking thing about our living arrangements. Fuck them. The second approach is to under report or not answer. People who do this are on the right track...this cuts the number of dollars the federal government will be inventing to shove into your neighborhoods and schools. Not answering is respectable for the simple reason that spending five minutes corresponding with an Obongo-led government is six minutes too much. The third approach is one that I am taking, I am going to over-report like a motherfucker.

The Arthur household is going to have 40 retarded, paraplegic refugees from every piece of shit area on the planet. Why? Because I want to fuck their numbers up. I don't want the government to have any idea of what is going on in local areas. The Federal Government is now an enemy of the people and as far as I am concerned anything I can do to make them over fund is something I should do. I implore everyone to make up silly ass numbers. You want to throw those pieces of shit for a loop? Tell them you have 200 kids. If enough people just made up random numbers it would minimize the accuracy of the Census and thus robbing the government of its ability to target certain areas for increased funding (minority laden areas to be sure). If your neighborhood has thousands of refugees from Haiti you KNOW your school district is going to be getting a ton of money from the government. All the money is fake anyway so it may as well come to your neck of the woods.

My overriding point to this request is that we should not trust the Federal Government for any reason. Giving them an honest representation is an invitation for them to rape you in the face. Fuck all that. I would love nothing more than the Census Bureau (undoubtedly rife with piece of shit unionized Federal workers) to throw up their hands and say "We cannot accurately model the population". This is just one way for me to send them a message. The message is that I don't like you, don't trust you and want you to be destroyed. Yes...I said that. I love America and what we stood for but this government is not that government. This government is bent on the destruction of the country we grew up in and if you think they won't use the Census to further their redistributive destruction you are naive and foolish. I am glad to throw a wrench in the Obongo America Destroying machine. I sincerely hope that all of you do the same.

Pass this article along to your friends and family. If enough of us stand up and raise our middle fingers we will make our point.

 

 

Didn't we say opening our roads to Mexican trucks and buses would be dangerous?

Bus Crash Victims' Families Look For Answers

Jason Barry
Reporter, KPHO.com

 

Family members, with loved ones either injured or killed in last week's bus crash along Interstate 10, gathered at the Mexican Consulate in Phoenix on Wednesday.

They were looking for assistance to help with medical bills and find out if there is any legal action they can take against the company that operated the bus, Tierra Santa from California.

Bianca Lovatos has an aunt and cousin still in the hospital. They were both badly injured in the crash.

Lovatos wants to know how the bus company could operate illegally.

"I just don't understand how that could be possible, how somebody operates that way," Lovatos said. "I think they need to take responsibility for what's happened."

Six people died and 16 others were injured in last Friday's bus crash, along I-10 near Sacaton.

Arizona's Department of Public Safety just released inspection results, which determined that the bus and driver should have never been on the road.

Among the violations uncovered:

*Defective brakes on more than 20 percent of the vehicle.

*No seven day driver's log to keeps track of how long he'd been behind the wheel and how rested he was.

*No seven day log for the co-driver.

*The driver himself could not read or speak English.

According to DPS officials, the investigation into the cause of the crash could take several weeks.

Yeah, well... the Mythbusters said this doesn't happen....

Wash. man electrocuted by urinating on power line

 

MONTESANO, Wash. (AP) - Authorities believe a Washington man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a car crash.

Grays Harbor County sheriff's Deputy Dave Pimentel said Monday 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch.

However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.

Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.

Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger's body.
