Parents arrested in girl's death have history with CPS
By Alexis Huicochea
ARIZONA DAILY STAR
A couple arrested in the drowning death of their 1-year-old daughter have an extensive past with state Child Protective Services, court records show.
Elisa and Shaun Green, both 24, are facing negligent-homicide and child-abuse charges in connection with the death of their child, Rachael Green.
The couple had their children removed from their custody for failure to thrive, according to court documents released Tuesday. They completed required parenting classes and a family CPS plan, and their children were returned to them in 2008.
After the children's return, the parents continued to neglect the kids, court documents say. CPS has filed to sever their parental rights.
Their daughter Rachael died on July 8 after she was left unattended in a bathtub with two siblings — both under the age of 4. Her mother was "multitasking" and her father was watching a movie, according to an interim complaint.
The children got dirty with ketchup, so their mother decided to bathe them, the complaint said. Elisa Green placed Rachael in a safety seat that was hooked to the tub and left the children alone.
The mother then went to get a baby blanket to dry the kids off and spoke to her husband about their Fourth of July plans before she began making pancakes, the interim complaint said.
When she no longer could hear the kids making noise, she went to check on them and found Rachel face-down in the water with the other children patting her on the back and saying "baby." Elisa Green took Rachael out of the tub, but the child was unresponsive. Rachael was taken to a hospital, where she died.
Police said the father knew his wife was giving the kids a bath and did not offer to help because he was watching a movie, the interim complaint said.
Elisa Green told police that Rachael was able to get out of the safety seat, either on her own or by her siblings pulling her out.

SWEET DREAMS UPDATE
I posted this news update concerning Michael Jackson's death, because I am a fan of Michael's. I grew up listening to the Jackson 5 and of course Michael ruled the 80's. I was very deeply saddened by his untimely death. This world will never have another Michael Jackson. May God bring peace and comfort to his family.

Oprah has message for pop princess Rihanna, who prosecutors say was beaten to a pulp last month by boyfriend Chris Brown: "He will hit you again."
Former Manhattan sex-crimes prosecutor Linda Fairstein's warning is starker: He also could kill you.
Fairstein compared the fist-happy crooner to O.J. Simpson, who repeatedly beat his wife without consequence before she was slain in 1994.
Rihanna's reported reconciliation with Brown after her Feb. 8 pummeling sparked an outpouring of debate, controversy and motherly advice.
"Love doesn't hurt," Winfrey said on her show Friday, while announcing she will dedicate a program this week to discussing domestic violence.
"I want to do a show about it, dedicated to all the Rihannas of the world."
Speaking directly into the camera, Winfrey said, "If a man hits you once, he will hit you again. He will hit you again."
Sex crimes expert Fairstein warned Rihanna - as 21-year-old Barbadian singer Robyn Rihanna Fenty is known - that she risks not just another bloodying, but her very life.
"Many of the circumstances in her case were like the early warning signs in the O.J. Simpson case," Fairstein said.
She pointed to several "red flags" that suggest Rihanna could be in the same danger as Nicole Brown Simpson was 15 years ago, getting hit repeatedly but not pressing charges and then reconciling with the former running back.
The allegation that Chris Brown choked Rihanna while saying "Now I'm really going to kill you" is a particularly bad sign, Fairstein said.
"Choking behavior is a very interesting factor. It's hands on, face-to-face. It's a very intimate type of violence," she said.
New police techniques that assess an offender's potential lethality based on a list of warning factors should be used in this case, Fairstein said.
The Daily News reported this weekend that Rihanna is torn about whether to testify against Brown next month.
According to a police affidavit, the couple began squabbling after Rihanna found a text message from one of Brown's ex-girlfriends on his cell phone as they were driving through Hollywood.
Brown then allegedly punched her repeatedly, tried to push her out of the car, bashed her head against the window, bit her ear and fingers, and choked her until she nearly passed out.
Brown, 19, entered no plea last week to two felony charges of assault and making criminal threats. He is out on $50,000 bail and returns to court April 6; his celebrity lawyer, Mark Geragos, is reportedly trying to work out a plea deal.

CROWN POINT, Ind. (AP) -- - A northwestern Indiana man has pleaded guilty to the 1990 murder of his former wife.

TEENAGED GIRL FOUND BRUTALLY MURDERED
Sabrina Matthews' unsolved murder leaves greiving family in anguish

Slashed teen's dad has abuse rap sheet
14-year-old girl slashed to death
When Sabrina Matthews' family celebrated her 14th birthday a year ago, their tidy on 234th St. in Cambria Heights home was filled with laughter.
But this year, Sabrina's birthday, on Sept. 7, will be a somber event for the Matthews family. They plan to put up posters around their neighborhood offering a hefty reward for the capture of Sabrina's killer.
"Every day in my life, I cry," said Sabrina's mother, Shirda Matthews, 50. "All I want is justice."
Sabrina was found in her bedroom on Nov. 9, naked from the waist down and her throat slashed. The high school freshman's father, Livingston Matthews, 52, discovered her when he came home from work that Sunday afternoon, police said.
There were no signs of forced entry and neighbors did not report seeing anything suspicious.
Sabrina's father initially became the prime suspect, but was cleared two months ago, police sources and family said.
Before the slaying, cops were called to the home twice before for domestic disturbances, but charges were later dismissed, sources said.
Livingston Matthews is a strict father, but not abusive, family members said. None of them believe he was responsible for Sabrina's death.
"We've been together 33 years," his wife, Shirda, said. "I would know. He's not that type of person."
Police do not have a suspect, sources said. But family and friends of Sabrina believe someone will eventually speak up.
"This person came into my home, invaded my privacy and killed my daughter," Shirda said. "I hope they catch the bastard who did this before he does this to someone else."
A few months ago, Mayor Bloomberg signed an order to increase the reward by $10,000, bringing the total amount to $22,000.
"Hopefully, with this reward, someone will talk," said Sabrina's oldest sister, Aneita Matthews, 32, who said the gruesome crime has made her fearful for her own life.
"Each time I go to bed at night, I check the lock on the door three or four times," Aneita said. When she visits her parents' home, she is suspicious of every stranger she passes.
"Everywhere I go, I'm wondering if it's this person or that person [killed Sabrina]," Aneita said. "I don't want to be living like this."
Anyone with tips can call the Crime Stoppers hotline at (800) 577-TIPS. The public can also submit tips to www.nypdcrimestoppers.com, or send a text message to 274637 (Crimes), then enter "TIP577."

I have been posting some of the very sad and disturbing articles that I've been reading over the past few weeks. There is a lot of sad and horrible and very violent crimes going on all over the place. I'm still battling depression and it is really difficult to express myself at this time. I have been managing to get some sleep nights, although I often awake due to nightmares. I keep having recurring nightmares of my 22 year old daughter's abusive ex-boyfriend. I always wake up in a cold sweat and I can't fall asleep again for awhile. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever recover from the terror of almost being burned alive.....Anyway, I hope that someone out there has walked safely away from an abusive or better yet,a potentially abusive situation. When you read some of the crazy and violent articles here or when you here these reports on the NEWS, JUST REMEMBER IT CAN VERY WELL BE YOU!!!! BE SAFE!!

MAN ARRESTED FOUR YEARS AFTER WIFE DISAPPEARS
The husband of a woman who disappeared more than four years ago has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in her death.
Dennis Joseph Tetso, 44, of Rosedale, was indicted Monday in the slaying of his wife, Tracey Tetso, who was 32 at the time of her disappearance. Dennis Tetso was arrested Thursday where he worked without incident.
Detectives and prosecutors reviewing the 4-year-old case said they got the indictment after recently reviewing evidence in the case using new technology.
On March 7, 2005, police were called to the home of the Tetsos after receiving a missing persons call.
Investigators said Dennis Tetso told them his wife had left for a Motley Crue concert in Washington, D.C., the day before and never returned.
Police found that Tracey Tetso's car had gone through the Harbor Tunnel the day she disappeared shortly before 8 p.m., but she never made it to the concert. Her car was found on March 17, 2005, in a hotel parking lot in Glen Burnie.
In the four years since, several missing persons organizations and community groups have tried to search for Tracey Tetso, who was never found.
The couple had only been married for a few months when she disappeared. Police said they still don't have a motive.
"Hopefully one day we'll be able to find that out. But remember, right now we still don't have Tracey's body and we would like to try to find her body somewhere," said Cpl. Mike Hill of the Baltimore County police.
A vigil was held for Tracey Tetso in March 2009.
Tracey Tetso's family said they haven't spoken to her husband since she disappeared and they said they're not surprised by the charges.
Police characterized Dennis Tetso as being uncooperative from the start of the investigation.
Dennis Tetso is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center without bail.

SWEET DREAMS UPDATE
I'm sorry that I have not written for awhile. I have been suffering from depression and even though my daughter's ex-abuser is currently behind bars, I still can not sleep at night. My family and I are having so many problems, this recession has devastatingly changed our lives. Several month's ago, we lost the home that we were living in and then I lost my home business, my husband then lost his job. We had to live with a friend, until moving into our current home in May. And as you already know, from the beginning of SWEET DREAMS my 22 year old daughter's ex-abusive boyfriend tried to burn my family and myself alive on June 6th in the early morning hours as we slept. So, lately I have been very down and depressed. My 22 year old daughter is currently looking for a job and trying to get her life back in order. I have been posting some of the very sad domestic abuse cases from newspaper articles that I've read here on SWEET DREAMS, hoping that someone will take note and get out of an abusive situation. So please, bear with me as I begin to once again post frequently to SWEET DREAMS.

Three children who were missing after their mother was found slain in their home have been found unharmed, and their father has been arrested for killing the childrens' mother according to Montgomery County Police.
WJZ's Adam May talked to law enforcement officials who said four-year-old Elijah Emeruwa, his six-year-old sister Antinnoe and eight-year-old brother Jachi were found Monday evening by police after a resident spotted the car their father was driving in Olney.
At approximately 6:15 Monday evening, police got a call of an erratic driver on Georgia Avenue and Prince Phillips Drive in Montgomery County.
When officers tried to stop the vehicle the driver took off and police followed in pursuit. After ramming several police cruisers the car was finally stopped on a dead end street.
It was then determined that the driver of the vehicle was 41-year-old Kelechi Charles Emeruwa and his three missing children were with him in the car.
Police have now charged Emeruwa, with first-degree murder in the death of 36-year-old Chidiebere Omenihu Ochulo. She was found dead about 2:30 this morning inside the home on Dunwood Terrace after police responded to a report of an unconscious woman.
The children were taken into custody without suffering injuries. They will be placed in Child Protective Services until they can be placed with family members.
The Amber Alert issued for the children was deactivated after being found with their father.
Police records also show a history of domestic abuse reports being filed by Ochulo against Emeruwa. The precise cause of death for Ochulo has not yet been released.

SWEET DREAMS-28
I sometimes forget that my 22 year old daughter, is in a similar situation as I, as far as her biological father is concerned. There is one big difference---I know who her father is but, she has never met him and she is naturally curious about him. In 1986 after my adoptive Mom died, I moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico for several months. Back in the 80's I had loads of pen pals. Anyway,I had a pen pal friend that lived in Albuquerque. She made her living as a Tarot Card Reader. She was actually very good at this, she did make some startling predictions concerning my life. I shared a motel room with her for a few weeks, until she kept making passes at me. She was gay and she kept telling me that I would never have any luck as far as men were concerned but, I was not buying it. She and her girlfriend would argue and put me smack in the middle of their disagreements. It became overwhelming, so when I landed a job as a dancer at a topless bar, I moved into my own motel room. She had predicted my adoptive father's death and the birth of my 22 year old daughter. My adoptive Dad passed away six months after my adoptive Mom died. They had been married 63 years. I couldn't comprehend being married to someone for that long, because of the losers that I kept getting involved with. Anyway, one Sunday evening this really attractive mexican guy came into the bar...he kept giving me tips and winking at me. He stayed until closing, to this day I do not know why I trusted him to give me a ride home but, I did. He did not try anything, he dropped me off at my room and said goodnight. He had this really cool chevy impala with hydraulics,Cool Rims, it was a really tight ride. He became a regular customer after that night and we started talking a lot. He seemed like a really nice guy....I had no idea that he had secrets. One night after work, he asked me to go over to his place for a drink and I agreed. He claimed that he lived with his older brother of whom was a truck driver and was rarely at home. When we arrived at his apartment, it was so unorganized that I asked him why? His reply was "We are moving into a house." I was like O.K.....We had a couple of drinks and he took me back to my room. He had started picking me up during his off days (he was a construction worker) and driving me through the beautiful mountains of Albuquerque. We were beginning to spend a lot of time together, one night I agreed to let him sleep over. We did not sleep together,I wanted to take things slow this time and not rush into a relationship. Anyway, the next morning after he left for work, there was a knock on my room door. When I answered it, there was this kind of heavyset 20 something mexican woman asking me can she come in and talk to me. She also had three beautiful little girls with her from age 3 to 5. I was speechless more or less and she did all of the talking and boy did she talk! She told me that my trusted male friend was her longtime boyfriend and these little girls were his. And I also discovered that the apartment that he previously took me to for drinks was really their apartment together and she had recently moved out. I also discovered that her father owned the construction company that he worked for. I don't know why but, for whatever reason he called me, right in the middle of my visit with his girlfriend. Once he realized that she was there with me, he was off the phone and at my door. When I opened the door for him, I did not get a chance to say anything, they began arguing in spanish and I could not understand what was being said. They literally scared their children to tears. The motel manager came down to my room because they were so loud. The police were called and they were all removed from my room. I did not know at this point whether to laugh or cry. I was numb. I had just lost my adoptive Mom, I had cared for her until she died, a very horrible death, I had prior to that broke up with an abusive boyfriend and prior to that I had lost custody of my three children and had nearly committed suicide. So, I was numb. I went out and got myself a drink and went back to my room. He kept calling me and knocking on my door, but I ignored the phone and the door. It was my night off so, I could get drunk and climb in bed and that is exactly what I did. But, this guy was not a quiet and after a few days, I finally agreed to talk to him. He told me that he and his girlfriend had already broken up before he met me and that she was trying to prevent him from seeing me. He took me over to his older brother's house and to a bedroom that apparently held his belongings. I still did not know quite what to think. I did finally meet his older brother however, of whom I discovered really was a truck driver. So, I finally gave him the benefit of doubt. We kept on seeing each other but, I would not allow intimacy between us yet. Well, after being in Albuquerque for about six months I received a long distance phone call at 4:00 a.m., it was my ex boyfriend/friend and he was calling to tell me that my adoptive Dad had just passed away. I was crushed. I called my male friend and he came over and sat with me and held me. I don't know what I would have done without him. I didn't have any real friends in Albuquerque. I would laugh and joke with the girls at work but, other than that, there wasn't anyone. My one(gay) friend,I didn't see anymore. Well, anyway the following night, my male friend brought beer and Tequila over and I got pretty plastered,I tried to drink my overwhelming grief away because now I WAS TRULY ALONE. But, my male friend was there for me,( my 22 year old daughter's father) because this is the night that she was conceived. I finally made love with my male friend.....and even though I would move back to my hometown in Illinois and we would eventually lose touch with each other, my daughter was born nine months later. Her father had proposed to me and I have often wondered what my life would have been like if I had accepted his marriage proposal. But, instead I would go on to abusive relationships, instead, once again.

SWEET DREAMS-27
I can remember all of the pain that I felt growing up, I always felt different from my friends because I was adopted and my adoptive parents were middle aged. Everyone knew that I was adopted and some people even knew some of my relatives. I actually grew up in a real live PEYTON PLACE. My hometown was small and everyone knew everyone else's business.I was like the last person to discover my true identity, well almost, I still to this day do not know who my biological father is. I guess that I will never know....I guess this is why I was always searching for love. I only wanted someone to love me for myself and in my search I kept running from one abusive relationship to another. I had one ex-boyfriend that became a best friend of mine, while were dating he too became abusive and we broke-up but, later became the best of friends. We confided everything to each other. My first abusive ex-husband had tried to kill him, when he found out about us. Anyway my ex-boyfriend/friend was always there for me, right up until he died in a fire. It was sudden and very unexpected. Someone had intentionally set a chair in his apartment building hallway on fire and he died from smoke inhalation. He and I had an argument about a week before this happened, which left me feeling really,really guilty. I cried for about two months straight. He was having sex with all of these shady females,that would do almost anything for a buck, so I don't know who killed him.To my knowledge, his murder was never solved. He was only 42 years old, when he died so tragically. My grandma had just died two weeks prior to his death. When my grandma died, I felt as if everyone expected more from me than I could give. I did not really know my grandma so, her death was not as earth shattering for me as for my brothers and my mom. I did not know that my grandmother even existed until I was 16 years old and even then, my family was still busy keeping all of these secrets. There are still secrets lurking about. There have been so many times in my life, when I have thought to myself "How can all of the things that happen to me possibly be REAL?" My ex-boyfriend/friend that died in the fire, knew all to well about pain caused by family members. His Mother was responsible for the loss of his right eye. He revealed to me that he had refused to give her 100% of his paycheck, so his step dad hit him in the eye with the handle of a shotgun. At any rate he lost his right eye because of this action. He hated her until the day she died. I think that this was his reason for feeling that all women were money hungry and could be bought for a price. So, once again I would like to remind you to pay very close attention, as to how a guy may treat his mother. Absolutely listen to his feelings about his Mother. If he has serious issues with his Mom WATCH OUT! YOU MAY BE ENTERING A DANGER ZONE!
