The three-year-old was taken to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City after he suffered brain injuries, facial bruising and a laceration at his home at 1502 S. Michigan Avenue November 10.
The probable cause statement indicates Valdez was the only person supervising the boy at the time the injuries occurred.
The boy died 22 days after the Joplin Police Department arrested Valdez for domestic assault at the same address, 1502 S. Michigan Avenue, where police say the child abuse took place. The victim was the boy's mother, Natasha Michelle Bilbrey, 22, according to the JPD incident report.

Such a sweet picture of the little boy. How so very sad.
ReplyDeleteJesus has him now.
No more suffering for him.
His mother left him with an abusive man. She should not be allowed to have any children in her care, she obviously makes bad choices and her child paid the price with his life.
This type of things makes me so angry at women who have to have a man so bad that they allow them to abuse them and their children.
I remember on an earlier post someone said I didn't know what I was talking about, that guy had a bus ticket to leave town that day.
They missed the point.
After he was arrested for abusing the mother he should have never been allowed back into the home. That's the mothers fault.
Period.
WAKE UP YOU YOUNG MOTHERS--NEVER LET ANYONE LAY A HAND ON YOUR CHILD.
NEVER. EVER.
So so sad. Another baby lost.

ReplyDeleteYour blaming the mom of the boy for his death? How dare you. Maybe you need to help this women, befriend her hold her up when she feels like dying, listen to her cries.
Yes she is responsible for her child.
DeleteHow dare I?
How dare her to put her child in mortal danger and allow some scumbag to beat on her.
There is help everywhere. Churches, shelters, go to a neighbor and ask them to call for help. There is absolutely no reason or excuse for any woman to stay in an abusive relationship. I am sure her family tried to get her to get rid of the boyfriend at some point, if they knew what was going on.
The police came and arrested him and put him in jail and she let him come back into the home. Maybe she even paid for or signed for his bond to get him released from jail? She was given help to get him out of her life but didn't make the right choice. Now her son is dead and she has to live with that. I imagine she is sorry.
I am sorry the child is dead, it is a tragedy that could have been prevented.
