Kellie ParkI just read a detailed list of the content of child abuse videos that cops in Connecticut are saying a mother sent via text message to her baby daughter's biological father. I'm shaking. The allegations are so cruel and twisted, I can only think of one reason they would have happened. Kellie Park was trying to get caught.
She allegedly sent 50-some text messages to Erick Vece, and eight videos showing her physically and verbally abusing her 10-month-old baby. If it's true, the act of texting could be the best thing that could have happened to her daughter. Not the abuse. Of COURSE not the abuse.
Having someone tilt a 10-month-old child's pack and play so they fall out on the floor, pour food over a baby girl's head, or any of the other horrific things police say they saw in eight abuse videos Park allegedly sent to Vece is not GOOD. But if even one of those videos represents what life was like for that child while living with Park, it's good that police now have the power to get that poor kid out of there.
How many times have you turned on the TV news or powered up your web browser and come across a story of a child who was subjected to unspeakable horrors over years and years? When I see that, I always wonder, what if someone had stopped this at the beginning? What if there was a way to snatch a child from their abuser at the very first sign of abuse?
In that sense, I can't help but wonder: could the texting, the thing that got Kellie Park arrested, be the thing that saved this child?
We don't know how long the abuse might have been going on in Park's home. The videos cops say she sent to Vece might have simply represented the tip of the iceberg. But now Park is facing charges of risk of injury to a minor, cruelty to persons, threatening in the second the degree, and assault in the third degree. And perhaps more importantly, Vece and Park's little girl is SAFE. She's out of that home, been observed at a hospital and released, and she's living with her maternal grandmother while the court system deals with her mom.
The best situation would have been if this little girl was never hurt at all.
But sadly, we live in a country where there are too many adults who do not understand the immense privilege they have when they become parents. I'd like to think that as many of them can be arrested and their children rescued sooner rather than later.
What do you think of this whole twisted tale?

Do I feel bad for her? No.
Do I empathize? Yeah. (And before you get your panties in a wad, look up the difference between empathize, and sympathize).
I think this poor victim (yes, child...but more importantly, victim), was placed in an emergency situation. Let's all hope she finds a better and more stable home, asap. After all, her mom wasn't born a monster. At some point, her most important caregiver (whoever raised her... Mom, Dad- whoever), dropped the ball. And whoever that was, should not be in charge of raising any other kids, much less the victim of such a brutal crime-
And who knows. Maybe the authorities didn't give her to her dad, because his family has an even shittier history-
Let's save our judgement for the day the facts come out...
If the father was getting these texts and didn't contact authorities why isn't HE being held accountable also???? >:
Reading this story makes me sick. I almost started not to continue to read the story. Did anyone know this was happening? If so, why did they not do anything? This is horrible. I have three daughters of my own and I would never do anything like that to them. She is "evil". NOT HUMAN!!!!!!!!!!!
