Man who starved son to death gets 45 years

November 20, 2004

BY DAN ROZEK Staff Reporter

The Streamwood man who admitted starving his 18-month-old son to death -- a crime his own attorney called "bizarre, dysfunctional, completely inexplicable'' -- was sentenced Friday to 45 years in prison.

Kristian Fredrickson pleaded guilty to first-degree murder earlier this year in the death of his son James, who authorities said weighed slightly less than 11 pounds when he died in December 2001. That's only about a pound more than the child weighed at birth, Cook County prosecutors said.

Fredrickson faced a 20- to 100-year prison term after prosecutors agreed not to seek a death sentence in return for his guilty plea.

Fredrickson, who has been behind bars since his son's death, will have to serve the entire sentence, meaning he will be nearly 70 years old before he's eligible for release.

'There is no answer'

What remains unanswered is why Fredrickson allowed his son to slowly starve, even though there was food in the two-bedroom condo where the family -- Fredrickson, his wife, Amanda, and a daughter, now 8 years old -- resided.

"This case is the type of thing that shouldn't have happened in the heartland of America or in any civilized nation,'' defense attorney Tom Needham said, adding that "sometimes the answer in this type of case is there is no answer.''

Fredrickson's wife, Amanda, still faces first-degree murder charges that could result in her being sentenced to death.

Prosecutor Tom Byrne asked for the maximum prison term, blasting Kristian Fredrickson as "a man who turned a blind eye to the suffering of his own son.''

"This defendant certainly has earned the ability to be sentenced to 100 years in this case,'' Byrne said, adding even that term wouldn't be sufficient punishment for the harm Fredrickson inflicted on his son.

"That child, if there were true justice, would be cared for, he'd be treasured,'' Byrne said.

Kristian Fredrickson's attorney and parents said during sentencing that he had a history of psychological and emotional problems dating back to childhood.

No history of 'overt abuse'

Fredrickson told police after his arrest that he hadn't personally fed the child in about two weeks and said he hadn't even seen James in three days. Prosecutors contended the boy was so badly neglected, he spent most of his time lying in his crib.

But Fredrickson, who had no serious prior criminal record, never intended to harm the boy, Needham said, and no history of "overt abuse'' involving the child.

"We have an inexplicable tragedy, a gross amount of neglect,'' Needham said.

A videotape played in court by prosecutors showed bags of trash, feces, dirty clothes and other debris littering the Fredricksons' Streamwood condominium.

[Darksol]

This story makes me sick. Why not give the child over to adoption ? I am SICK and TIRED of people not taking RESPONSIBILITY for their actions. Why bring a child into this world if you're going to do this. Even abortion is a mercy killing compared to what these idiots did. What could make a person do this instead of exploring other options is unfathomable. People like the two above don't deserve to live IMHO.

From Chicago Reader by Chuck Shepherd


In September a 25-year-old driver was killed in Saint-Joachim, Quebec, when another car veered into his lane and hit him. Authorities speculated that the deceased was too distracted to avoid the crash, as he was apparently engaged in sexual intercourse with a female passenger, who was seriously injured. According to a police spokesperson, having sex while behind the wheel "makes driving that much more dangerous."

***

Keith Schott filed a lawsuit in September against the promoters and sponsors of a Muscular Dystrophy Association charity golf tournament in Phoenix for failing to pay a widely advertised $1 million prize promised to any player making a hole in one during the round. According to his lawyer, after Schott aced the sixth hole in front of 11 witnesses "the defendants changed the rules on the spot," telling him he'd have to do it again on videotape to collect.

***

In September the Madrid newspaper El Pais ran an ad for a 90-day supscription that showed two photos of the New York skyline, before 9/11 and after, with a caption that translated as "You can do a lot in one day. Just imagine what can happen in three months."

***

In September the Times of Roanoke, Virginia, ran an article in which city residents complained about traffic snarls and jackhammer noise resulting from a major street construction project. "I'm seven months pregnant," said Mellisa Williamson, 35. "I don't want the noise hurting my baby." The story set off a firestorm of reader mail due to the accompaanying photo, which showed the clearly pregnant Williamson surveying the construction mess while smoking a cigarette.

***

David Roy Truscott, 35, pleaded guilty in September to burglary and three counts of arson, committed over an eight-month period at a farm near Redruth, Cornwall, England. Police testified that in addition to stealing and damaging property, another thing Truscott liked to do at the farm was dress up in shiny red shorts and rubber gloves and masturbate while submerged to his waist in liquid manure.

***

In September, according to a report in the Tehran newspaper Mardomsalari, a local court ordered a husband to stop beating his wife altogether, even though the woman, identified only as Maryam J., had sought an order simply limiting the beatings to once a week. "Beating is part of his nature," she said. "and he cannot stop it." The husband explained, "If I do not beat her, she will not be scared enough to obey me."

SpongeBob Kidnappers Seek Ransom for Doll

Have you seen this sponge? Police are looking for a a blow-up figure of SpongeBob SquarePants swiped from a Minnesota Burger King. They've found a ransom note which starts off: "We have SpongeBob." It then demands, "Give us ten Crabby Patties, fries and milkshakes."

The ransom note is signed by SpongeBob's nemesis, Plankton. A postscript reads: "Patrick is next," referring to the Bermuda shorts-wearing starfish that serves as SpongeBob's sidekick.

At a southeastern Utah Burger King, vandals made off with a 10-foot-tall SpongeBob balloon.

Employees are handing out "Missing" fliers with a full description of the popular cartoon figure — featured in a new movie.

Baby Jesus snatched from plaza -- again

Chicago Sun Times December 6, 2004

BY ANNIE SWEENEY Staff Reporter

The last time a thief made off with the baby Jesus from the nativity display at Daley Center Plaza, it took a few days before the ceramic infant was anonymously returned.

This time, the alleged offender only made it a few blocks before he was caught by Chicago Police who were alerted by two witnesses who said they saw the 19-year-old suspect pull the handpainted, 3-foot, 6-pound imported figurine from its crib.

Matthew Staib, a Texas resident who came to Chicago to study at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, said he didn't set out to steal Jesus. He said he was out for a very-early-morning walk around the city Sunday and saw the baby in the crib and wanted it.

So he took it.

'Just walking around'

"It wasn't really a prank. I was just walking around the city and bored. It wasn't premeditated,'' Staib said Sunday morning, standing outside the Central District police station at 18th and State, minutes after he was released on misdemeanor theft charges.

Chicago Police said Staib had been drinking before he came upon the nativity scene, although Staib said he wasn't "even that drunk.''

"I was just walking around. ... I wasn't even stealing it. I was just walking around with it. I was probably just going to set it down.''

Staib was arrested on State Street, close to his dorm, which has high-end views of the city, including one of the plaza.

'That's pathetic'

Police said he didn't appear to take the theft that seriously -- saying at one point he took the figurine because he was Jewish and didn't like babies or Jesus. Staib later said he's not really Jewish and that he was joking.

But the missing baby was not so funny to officers who arrested Staib and to those who gathered on the plaza Sunday.

Central District Capt. James Knightly said he asked the Texas resident how he'd like it if "we came and messed with the Alamo."

And Betty Rutkowski, 58, who came to see the nativity scene with her husband, didn't mince words, either.

"How sad is that?'' said the Aurora resident. "That's pathetic.''

Nearby, Judy Miller, 35, stood with her 3-year-old daughter, Kate, explaining the nativity. She and her husband have been coming to the plaza for the last eight years.

"I don't think [he] got the true meaning of the season,'' Miller, of Libertyville, said. "It's the birth of Jesus; he was God's gift to us. To him, it was just a prank.''

The volunteers who install and maintain the crib took a rather seasonal attitude about the theft.

"It had a happy ending,'' said Joe Finnegan, co-chairman of the Nativity Scene Committee. "We got it back. This is just a kid at 19. I can remember when I was 19 -- 51 years ago. I did some strange things, too.''

Committee members are determined the ceramic baby will return -- it was the same figurine stolen last time in 1999 -- especially because they've fought legal battles for permission to have it on government property.

When Jesus does return, it likely will be with even more security. Cables were added to secure him to his crib after the last theft.

Staib agreed with that idea. He said he didn't really have to work hard at dislodging the figurine.

"Tell them to better fasten the wire around the baby Jesus' feet,'' he said.

Sad Serb axes penis, then regrets decision

BELGRADE, Serbia-Montenegro - A Serbian man was so depressed by his family’s dire financial situation that he cut off his penis with an ax, only to regret it afterwards and ask for help, Serbian media said Friday.

The 30-year-old from the industrial town of Kragujevac in central Serbia was distraught by what he described as “the poverty and misery� around him, daily Kurir reported.

“My wife is sick, and I can’t even buy medicine. My father, mother and I live from my father’s paltry salary,� the man was quoted as saying.

“I saw no other way out, grabbed a rusty two-and-a-half-kilo ax, took my penis out, put it on a log and bam!�

The sight of blood brought him to his senses, he said.

“Only then did I come to and screamed as loudly as I could, realizing I didn’t have it any more,� he was quoted as saying.

Neighbors heard his screaming and rushed him to hospital, where doctors sewed his penis back on.

“The most important thing is that his tool is back in place. All’s well that ends well,� said doctor Srecko Djordjevic, who performed the operation.

Comcast Plays Porn Instead of Cartoon on Disney Channel (http://www.cartoonbarry.com/2007/05/comcast_plays_porn_instead_of.html)


5 year old boy watching cartoon on the Disney Channel. All of a sudden, porn comes on. The kid continues watching. Father walks in. Notices porn. Dad looks at the channel and notices this porn is airing on the Disney Channel.
Customer Paul Dunleavy would also like to know. He was stunned Tuesday morning to find his 5-year-old son watching something other than "Handy Manny," a cartoon about a bilingual Latino handyman and his talking tools.

"It was two people doing their thing, it was full-on and it was disgusting," the Middletown father of three told The New York Daily News for Wednesday newspapers. "I couldn't believe it."

This issue was confirmed as a "programming error" which occurred around 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday. It was isolated to "a local New Jersey facility," the article says.

"My son was extremely upset because he thought he'd done something wrong," Paul Dunleavy, Comcast Cable customer.

For one lucky Buddhist temple in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, the path to nirvana may be hindered not by the “fires of greed, hatred, and delusion,” but by the horrendous stench of over two thousand discarded fetuses.

According to one nearby resident, the likely cause of the excess of fetuses is the construction of new incinerators. As a result, the morticians received a “backlog,” as it were, of fetuses, causing them to pile up and ultimately begin to decompose, resulting in a horrible stench.

Why would they keep accepting the fetuses if they can’t cremate them? Maybe they really tired the room together.

They should consider dowsing them in peroxide, vinegar, or lemon juice.

Face to face with General Butt Naked - 'the most evil man in the world' (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1333465/Liberias-General-Butt-Naked-The-evil-man-world.html)


It is 1982 and as day breaks in Liberia, the Krahn tribe prepares for the initiation of its high priest.

Against the sound of the drumbeat, he is taken to an isolated area, led by a man in a carved black mask.

The priest stands before an altar, naked.

The elders bring a little girl, unclothe her and smear her body with clay. The priest slays the child.

In a ritual that spans three days, her heart and other body parts are removed and eaten.

In the course of those days the priest has a vision: he meets the devil who tells him he will become a great warrior.

The devil says to increase his power he must continue the rituals of child sacrifice and cannibalism.

The initiation is complete and the priest is now one of the most powerful leaders in West Africa. The priest is 11 years old.

As prophesied, the boy priest grew up to become one of Liberia's most notorious warlords: General Butt Naked.

He and his boy soldiers would charge into battle naked apart from boots and machine guns.

The initiation sacrifice that he carried out aged 11 was the first life he took out of the 20,000 deaths for which he now claims responsibility.

His rivals dispute the number of deaths as impossible to prove.

Yet what is indisputable is that during Liberia's 14 years of civil war, the man became known as one of the most inhumane and ruthless guerrilla leaders in Africa's history.

After the former General Butt Naked confessed his past to Liberia's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in 2008, one internet blogger asked: 'Is this the most evil man who ever lived?'

His crimes included child sacrifice, cannibalism, the exploitation of child soldiers and trading blood diamonds for guns and cocaine, which he fed to boy soldiers as young as nine.

Yet today he says he is a reformed man. In July 1996, the warlord had 'an epiphany'.

Having spent 14 years holding nightly conversations with the devil, he had a blinding vision of Christ who told him to end the killings and convert.

This was a Damascene conversion like no other: the former tribal priest and warlord is now known as Pastor Joshua Milton Blahyi.

Aged 39, he is married, a father of three and lives as a Christian preacher.

Why do you think I swam the river...

[Nous Anima]

Not sure if this is true ...
Dragan Stevic of Serbia is the new Egyptian hero who killed a large shark which had previously terrorized numerous tourists (injured 4 and killed 1) at the famous Egyptian resort Sarm El Sheikh.

The Serbian hero was too drunk to remember what had happened, though one of his friends who witnessed the incident explained it all for the Belgrade based media.
Dragan Stevic was dubbed by the Egyptian media as "Shark El Sheikh" and thanked him for saving their tourist season.

Milovan Ubirapa, one of Stevic’s friend who witnessed the incident explained that Dragan had decided to go to the beach for a swim after a long night of drinking. As Dragan and his friends approached the beach, he saw a fairly high positioned jumping board utilized earlier in the day by divers.

“Dragan climbed on the jumping board, told me to hold his beer and simply ran to jump. There was no time for me to react or to try to stop him, he just went for it” says Milovan.
“Dragan jumped high and plunged down to the sea, but didn’t make as much splash as we thought he would”, explained Milovan.

The reason could be because Dragan Stevic ended up jumping straight on the shark which was lurking near the beach, probably looking for its next victim. Dragan had nailed it right in the head, killing it instantly. The Egyptian police found the shark washed out on the beach that morning (pictured above).

Dragan was able to swim to the shore and told his friends he had twisted his ankle, telling them the water was not that soft.
The water is soft buddy, you just landed on a shark. At the moment, the fearless hero is in a hospital recovering from alcohol poisoning. After Dragan gets well, he will get a chance to have some more drinks as the resort had awarded the Serb tourist with a free vacation for his heroic deed.
