"Father" Throws Baby into Traffic "Mother" Defends Him - Must See Video
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 at 7:35AM The Blogmother
My post mocking the rev Jesse Jackson's comment about Lebron James' "slavery" will have to wait until Friday. I saw this over on the What About Our Daughters Network and thought SURELY someone must be exaggerating. Hat tip to LTD. YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE VIDEO TO GRASP THE FULL BREATH OF THIS MOTHER'S DELUSION.
Oh but it GETS better:
Alena Bartholemew, I don't need to tell you this because I am sure you already know this, but you are a SORRY excuse for a woman and a mother. You sitting there with FLESH scrapped off of your child's skull on camera saying there were no major injuries? Um so who has called CPS to go get this baby?
Police say an off-duty officer saw the man, later identified as John Taylor, shake the 18-month girl and throw her into oncoming traffic on Fifth Avenue near East 15th Street around 5:39 p.m. Saturday. A Volkswagen Jetta almost hit the toddler, police say, and the car's undercarriage burned and scraped the girl. NBC
Oh but it GETS better:
"I'm hurting now because I know my baby's father is in jail facing charges and I don't feel that it is reasonable," Bartholemew told NBC Bay Area. "Anybody who feels that they think that John had thrown the baby out, please get that out your mind -- there is no reason to believe that. He is a great father to her." NBC

When I heard this on the news, I wondered who could do such a thing. Amazing that some people are allowed to procreate with this mentality. If CPS doesn't step in and remove this child now, we will hear more from these sorry excuses for human beings. I can't even shake my head hard enough nor can I remotely reason why anyone would commit such an awful act, nor defend the degenerate perpetrating it.
Denial is a crazy thing. This person would rather have a piece of a man than deal with the fact that he doesn't care about her or her child. She has clearly internalized dysfunction as normal. She is also sending a message to her "man" that no matter what, I am down with you. Sick, sick, sick!!!
no words.
I am sadden by this. There are married couples out there wanting and needing a child and can not have one. She should take care of her child better than this. When this girl gets older she will see and read this and will come to dislike her mother. She needs to lose any and all rights to this child until she can get her act together. And the man he has distructful ways and he need to stay in jail until they get a chance to throw the book at him. How can he justify throwing a child out of a moving car? He has none, if they don't do something now the crazy mother will let him come back into the home and finish the JOB! WAKE UP WOMEN of COLOR!!
Seems kind of bizarre to me.
But why in the world are we taking the word of an Oakland cop over the word of the mother?
Maybe the guy was being attacked?
Call me cynical but I always lean toward the word of the victims when police are involved. It would be interesting to see what the driver had to say before we start bashing this woman of color.
And ya'll saw that grandma was defending him, too, right? A cycle that may never end...
Can either of them explain who was "attacking" the father? Really? Who is this mysterious person that caused this man to throw his CHILD into on coming traffic? Man, please, get outta here with that mess...I hope CPS is involved 'cause this story is hot garbage.
-bc
Even if the cop lied she minimized the peril her child faced being thrown under the car. What about her daughter?
well I posted a story about another one of these "mothers" on the WAOD. These women are just as crazy as the boyfriends, the pick em for a reason
I'm confused. If the man was 'protecting' the child, why did he need to be chased down by police? Wouldn't he be trying to get the child from under the car?
Who would have been attacking child in the first place and for what reason?
Oh never mind... I've given up trying undertand the labrynthian thinking of such people.
One of the biggest problems is the mentality that would prompt a man toward such a heinous act is often found appealing to many women. I doubt that this woman was surprised by this.
Penis induced tranced bm women...smh. These women sound just as silly as the women that said the grim sleep serial killer was a nice guy.
@Char: Wait...what? So are you trying to say that the cop threw the baby in traffic? Or that the cop is lying, period? Really???? So with this Oscar Grant verdict, we're just gonna say that EVERY Oakland cop is crooked?
Unless the cop had a gun to the "father's" head, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO JUSTIFICATION FOR WHAT THROWING A BABY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. NONE. We don't need to hear from the driver of the VW or anybody else for that matter. That baby was scarred and burned and this dummy of a "mother" is more concerned about some fool she's not even in a relationship with.
Oh, and if he was under attack, he couldn't throw the baby on the sidewalk or someplace else BESIDES TRAFFIC???
Sweet Jesus, iCan't.
Char even if the Oakland cop is wanting to just fry someone why pick the dad and not the alleged attacker?
I also have to echo Shecodes. If attacked, why run FROM police? Why aren't you trying to get your child from underneath the car? Why not toss the child to a safer location like bushes or just place on sidewalk?
And I am sure the driver's statement is part of the case file and prosecutors would be fools to file charges against the "father" if some wildly different account of events was given by the driver and just waiting for defense attorneys to find it later on at trial.
I can't decide whether the statements by the mother and grandmother are due to mental illness, stupidity or depravity. Maybe all three. Whatever it is, that poor baby is not safe with her family.
Jayla is not safe with her mother and grandmother. Jayla's father is going to harm her.
CPS should remove Jayla until a full investigation is done. If Jayla's mother knew that her baby's daddy was likely to be attacked on the street- why would she allow him to take the child out? Smells like child endangerment. Is he beating both women or what. Their stupidity is quite dismaying.
Is this a really bad joke? When I read the title I thought to myself OMG this can't be real. But then the ignorant mother gets on camera making excuses for her loser baby daddy? Are we in the twilight zone? You don't throw a baby into traffic moron. I hope that child is taken away. Her mother sounds like the "I gotta have my man over my child" type. This is why i couldn't be an attorney or judge. Everyone would be under the prison. I'm not even going to comment on the fool idiot who thinks that a cop is lying about witnessing a baby being thrown into traffic. Most reasonable people don't lie about seeing children thrown from a car. Also if her baby daddy was being attacked, wouldn't that have come up in the police report? I can't today....
Cannot formulate any civil commentary in regards to this story...Let's just say I'd show up to the jailhouse with my suitcase in hand!
My first thought when I first saw it was that this was an instance when the sperm donor was 'forced' into taking care of his child and he decided to show them that they can't make him do what he doesn't want to do.
Human life be damned!
If you have to 'make' a man want to watch his own child, watch out - sperm donor or not, you can't leave your child with someone who doesn't have their best interests at heart!!!
No words
So, I'll wager that all of these people are on welfare and living with Section 8 vouchers. Animals move their children to safety. Then they defend against those who intend to harm them.
This shiftless negro, threw his own flesh and blood in the street and left her there for dead.
Why are the stupid, lazy, and trifling so fertile?
Umm Char,
YOU are a delight. I am laughing AT you.
There is no justification for this. I feel so much for that child.
"But why in the world are we taking the word of an Oakland cop over the word of the mother?"
I know the above words were uttered in light of Oscar Grant, but come on...
It seems like every week there is another story about a woman who is standing by her man who has harmed her child. I was actually in the middle of doing a blog series on the dangers of male-identified women, and I come across this, SMH.
It is like no one cares about the lives of black girls, not even their own "mothers." I hope this child is placed in protective custody.
Oh yeah...the "daddy" was probably caring for the little girl while the mother was at work. That is typically how the story goes when these DBR men harm a child by shaking them to death, etc. The mother is holding down the fort, going to work, paying the bills, while the shiftless daddy provides child care. I am so sick of this ish.
Oh LAWD, somebody pleeeeeze tell this chick that De Nile is a river in Egypt. I've read several takes on this story, and they all say that the man shook the child then threw her into traffic. It doesn't sound like he was being "attacked" to me. It sounds to me like dude was off his meds and did what the little voices in his head told him to do. Either that, or he decided that he didn't want to continue (or START) paying child support. *smh*
I hope they throw the mama and the daddy under the jail.The mother is an accomplice.I couldn't bring myself to watch the video.smdh
Aloha! Just putting a short little comment in your blog comments to say hi there from Swift Current, which is way up here in Canada. I'm really impressed with the good quality of writing you have yourself here, and I'm going to undoubtedly be returning to say hello again in the future. That's pretty much everything from my end, I hope you have a great week!
Karen,
Welfare and section 8 were probably holding down the fort. Someone as trifling as the egg incubator and sperm donor are NEVER get jobs. GUB'MENT takes care of them [***Deleted by blog administrator***]. The arrangement you're describing exists in families without DBR people. This isn't one of those cases as BOTH people are DBR, trifling, and shouldn't be producing children. That stupid "grandmother" (she's probably in her early or mid 40's) is equally as dumb as her daughter and really has NOTHING to teach either the incubator or the donor about parenting. One can hardly be the sage of one's family as a 40 something year old grandparent.
What's clear is that Jayla doesn't stand a chance and that the egg incubator is young enough to produce more children she will never take care of.
Char,
I just thought of something. Using your logic, the public shouldn't trust ANYTHING BLACK MALE victims or black people in Oakland have to say regarding the police because of Oaktown's support of that dead child rapist and murderer Lovell Mixon. Look it up.
BTW, Oscar Grant was killed by a BART police officer, NOT an Oakland police officer.
The mothers reaction is further confirmation of the wretchedness of Black culture. Certain generations of Blacks - although not all among group - are mentally diseased. This woman is a microcosm of a much larger group of women who exhibit the same thought patterns. But everyone from Black bloggers to Civil Rights Inc. ignores it. Until the much larger illness in the Black culture is recognized, acknowledged and dealt with comprehensively... the horror show will continue unabated.
TexasLady & LD above got right to the core of the matter. I don't know if I would call it a penis induced trance... but something is fundamentally wrong in the brain. These women are certainly mentally sick.
The very idea that anyone would entertain the outrageous explanation provided by the mother, shows how widespread this group mental illness really is (and I knew there would be comments entertaining the idea that this negro was a hero defending his baby, and the piece of trash hip hop mother was just a wonderful woman.... I knew it before I even started to read the comments). Char and a few others are perfect examples of this sick Black mentality. Because an Oakland transit cop shot the wrong negro.... well... no cops are to be believed. This kind of sick irrational thinking permeates 'da community'. Yeah... let's believe urban terrorists (who are wreaking havoc daily in your communities) over law enforcement. Makes sense.
These women will continue to define 'da community' and the image of Black women, as long as Black women continue to revere role models/hip hop tramps like Beyonce, Rihanna, rappers, thug groupies etc... who set the standard. These are the folks who teach your daughters to go after $hitheads. Until that is somehow reversed (and I see no evidence that anyone is even trying to do so)....as long as this remains such a large part of the Black value system... then this will be the result.
Even the grandmother was backing the thug (she may be in love with him too)... shows this mental damage goes back a generation at least. Noticed it when I was a school boy in the 80's (which puts me roughly in the vicinity of the grandmothers age... 35-45)... so it makes sense. These were the crack mothers back then... that generation was a wreck too. Figuratively speaking, Black women have been chasing the same thugs for quite some time now.
Has anyone seen the new Cable program "Prison Wives"? I believe it's on WeTV or Lifetime... one of those networks. Foolishness abounds.
This woman does not define Black culture to me. That's our problem, we concede too much ground to people who engage in foolishness and allow them to define what is up and what is down. I have NUMEROUS Black mothers in my circle of friends and family. They aren't sick, yet nobody's writing an article about Mocha Moms because they are doing what they are supposed to do.
'cuse me? I'm confused. If I'm being attacked and I have my child with me, I would RUN with my child, not throw the child anywhere, least of all, I certainly would not throw my child into traffic. At the very least I might drop the child where I am.
I agree with some of the others here, perhaps the father is angry, mentally ill, don't want to pay child support, etc. Just put him jail AND take the child away temporarily until an investigation can be completed.
God help us all! :(
Denial does not need a child taken away. CPS can step in to help educate her, pay for some therapy and some life management skills, but, take the child away from her? I think not. It is amazing how there is supposedly so many homes for these children to go to. It is as if no one thinks what happens once the child is taken away, there is just always a cry for the child to be taken away. Many foster parents are in it for the money and often there are predators in those foster homes. I say re-train the mother. Her denial does not deserve her losing her child. I am sure the man will not be getting out of child any time soon and will not be able to interfere with her training process.
It's simple the chick loves and values the man more than her own child.Someone should throw her evil azz in oncoming traffic!cuse' my french.I do think this is also a symptom of what happens when we as an alleged community are told to support other blacks no matter their criminality and how anti black they are.
I strongly disagree Ken.This seems to be the type of evil chick who'd allow her child to be beaten and molested all for the love of that half man/half demon.I'm not saying she can't be fixed but I do believe something like that would take a looong time.The child needs to be placed possibly with another mentally sane family member either temporarily or for the long term.If that's not possible foster care.If something bad occurs in foster care,God forbid,the child will at least know that cps took her away with the intention to save her life and showed more care than the "mother".
Kenneth,
Alena's delusion reaches FAR BEYOND denial. She has willfully and deliberately allowed some mentally deranged sperm donor to be alone with her daughter. Her defense of her baby daddy makes her as dangerous as him and seriously calls into question her fitness as a parent.
Jayla, is going to end up dead like so many other children, at the hands of their trifling, indifferent, and delusional parents.
The children lose... always.
'cuse me Kenneth Hill? Her denial does warrant a further investigation. Perhaps you are not aware that sometimes when a parent or other family members are in denial or simply are unaware about another family member's neglect or abuse towards children, IT DOES DEMAND FURTHER INVESTIGATION, and if upon further investigation, circumstances demand the child be TEMPORARILY REMOVED, then so be it. Such a denial is not just a denial; when you make such a denial when such harm is a fact, you make decisions that are not the best for the health and safety of a child. Yes, foster care SOMETIMES IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN ACTUAL PARENTS OR OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, but that's why there must be a thorough investigation.
Funny how the young mother and the other mother never stated who they thought attacked the young father or why someone would attack him . . . while carrying a child? Negroes, please!!!!!! :(
There's a case in North Carolina where the father and his girlfriend, killed their 3 year old and encased him in cement. The girlfriend made up some story about the toddler wandering of and drowning.
The child had been taken to the hospital on several prior incidents of suspected child abuse. Although CPS was aware of the situation, they did absolutely NOTHING. Ken, people's denial of Rodricus Williams' father's abuse (social workers included) is the reason little Rodricus is DEAD and two more SORRY, TRIFLING, and fertile adults are still living.
@ The Lurking Contrarian,
Why is the BLAME always on the black woman? Are you just assuming that the fathers had already skipped up out da' house (assuming he ever was providing shelter for the family he helped to form)?
I mean, besides BlkSeaGoat, can we get more than two men up in here that quit passing the buck, dolla' bill... RESPONSIBILTY to black women alone?
When are black men in mass going to stick around to raise these kids and NOT throw them under cars and FLEE the SCENE? Stop being rappers and gangbangers that depict and celebrate the ghetto? I hear mention of the crack moms, where were the crack DADS? I can't even believe I'm going there, but as HORRIBLE a person I think this woman is, she didn't throw the baby under a car*!!!!
*(yet)
Thanks for the Mocha Moms shout out Gina! I'm an active member of my local chapter and it is our mission to raise up our children so that they don't grow up to procreate and throw their babies under cars and/or defend people who do it. Right now we have an initiative going where we're partnering with barbershops and beauty shops to install reading nooks, so that while young kids are waiting to get their hair cut/done, they can read. It's a darn shame how badly our children lag behind in reading. Our goal for this project is to help encourage a love of reading, books, and learning in general in our young people- one head at a time. (Shameless plug finished.)
The Baby Mama and grandmother are both arguing that the semen donor was protecting the baby.
This is incredible. So they believe that the police officer would make up a story out of whole cloth about semen donor throwing the baby out of the car?!! Why?
And what does the grandmother mean when she says that the semen donor was acting like any animal trying to protect his child?
Semen donor should be under the jail! How nauseous that this poor child is being raised by such delusional women, who obviously will have no problem in subjecting her to more harm!
Whoever said that the cop was picking on him because he was black is weird---the cop was OFF DUTY!!!!!!!! I believe the OFF DUTY cop before i believe these silly negros. It wouldn't hurt if the child is adopted out to a nice family!! Since she is only 18 mos old, she would forget those people
And since Oakland CA is going to be cutting their police force by 10%,l I wouldn't be caught dead there unless I have my 'saturday night special'
Disgusting. I wish child protective services would go after her and do an investigation due to her statement and the father's actions. However, that will probably not happen. Based on her statement, I don't know who to be more angry at, her or her boyfriend (or baby's father). However, it seems like she needs the child in order to maintain her dysfunctional relationship with her demonic boyfriend.
Towards that end, she needs to be locked up as well, upon an investigation (for child neglect). Not only that, they need to start imposing longer sentences (at least 20-30 yrs) for those who are repeat offenders. The most that can be done is to take the child away, permanently. However, some people involved in these cases will have MORE children and do MORE of the same --and based on an discussion from someone who I know who used to be a social worker, the case load is enough to burn you out.
Locking someone up for 20-30 years for repetitive child neglect and endangerment may sound harsh. However, at least they can't procreate while behind bars. Like BLKSeaGoat stated, some people are DBR -- and when they say and do things to "diminish" their OWN child's worth, that only tells you how much they even respect him/herself.
Great site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends!
No one said not to investigate, I said denial does not mean she should lose the child. The answer is not to take the child from her but to show her the errors in her thinking. It is easy to be on a computer and demand that a child be taken away. It is a whole other story to actually take a child away and find a suitable home. Denial is not equal to actually being the person who threw the baby out of the car. It was the man/father who threw the child out of the car. Nothing the mother said or believe made him throw the child out of the car and she does not deserve to be punish for what he did. She needs to be educated, not punished.
Punishment can be educational.
"She needs to be educated, not punished."
Hmmm, let's see, states are broke. Let me say it again: States have no money. Period. I used to work for the state. I was heavily involved in in-home programs designed to "educate" dysfunctional people. In-home therapy, parenting classes, rehab, etc... And you know what? In most case after the state had spent thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars we still wound up picking those children up. You know why? BECAUSE YOU CAN'T RE-RAISE GROWN FOLK!!! And even if you could no state has enough money to do it. Unless you're going to have a social worker living with these sick asses for the rest of their lives there's no way to ensure this child's safety in this home. What happens when the child's father makes bond? I've seen it a thousand times. Judge orders the offender not be anywhere near the child. Where's the first place you find the offender? Living in the same house with the child. That's what comes from denial.
And yes, it does suck. It sucks great big hairy ones. Because the state is not a good parent. Actually it's a sucky parent, but in general they don't throw children into oncoming traffic. People are tired. Sick and damned tired of spending their hard-earned money trying to teach people stuff that even a goddamned orangutan knows. Educate this chick? Please. When this guy goes to prison I'll bet you my next royalty check she'll be booed up with another just like this one inside a minute. Only difference is this one will succeed in killing the child. Why? Because the most dangerous person in a child's life is an unrelated male living in the same house. Hell even animals know better, but somehow as alleged human beings we keep playing this same tape over and over again.
@Kenneth
If I concede that denial doesn't mean she should lose her child will you concede that until she understands the error in her thinking her child should be placed elsewhere?
I mean how long do you think it will take to deprogram someone who thinks it is ok to place their child in a hazardous situation? At what point does the welfare of the child take precedence?
