Stepfather, Donald Hillman, reported to be arrested in relation to death of stepdaughter due to shaken baby syndrome|Santa Monica|Shaken Baby Syndrome Lawyer

ckeane@keanelaw.com (Blog Author)23111 — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 08:00:00 EST

The Santa Monica Times and Los Angeles Times have reported on the tragic death of a two month old girl, the step-daughter of Donald Hillman. The newspapers report that Hillman has been arrested. The infant is reported to have died from shaken baby syndrome in Santa Monica, California.

If the death was, in fact, by Shaken Baby Syndrome - then this was a preventable death. There are several questions which should be asked in relation to a senseless death like this - and in any shaken baby syndrome death case. When did the shaking occur? Who had access to the child during the critical time period? Were there any signs of abuse before the critical shaking incident? Did any mandatory reporters of child abuse become informed of abuse to this child and fail to report it to the proper child protective service agency, or law enforcement? Were the police notified of any potential abuse of this child before she was critically shaken? Did the police properly cross-report the abuse to child protective services?

Christopher Keane and The Keane Law Firm represent victims and survivors of shaken baby syndrome. Anyone seeking further information or a lawyer to represent a child in a shaken baby lawsuit should contact the firm by e-mail or toll-free at 888-5692-KIDS (5437).

In Florida, Tivasha Logan and Chauncey Gardner are charged with felony murder and aggravated child abuse in connection with the death of their five-month-old daughter, Chauntasia. The Lakeland couple was arrested after investigators determined that the couple allegedly starved their infant daughter to death. Allegedly, the baby has not seen a physician since her birth. There were five other children in the home in addition to the deceased baby. News stories report there was food in the kitchen, but a very small amount of formula present in the home. Allegedly the couple may have mixed the formula incorrectly causing a smaller amount of caloric intake for the infant. The baby weighed less at the time of her death than she did when she came home from the hospital after her birth.

The Richmond High School Homecoming dance gang-rape involved approximately 10 attackers and 10 more witnesses...and no one helped the victim. The Keane Law Firm represents victims that have been catastrophically injured.

The Richmond High School Homecoming dance gang-rape involved approximately 10 attackers and 10 more witnesses…and no one helped the rape victim. The Keane Law Firm represents victims that have been catastrophically injured. News stories report a possible reason that witnesses did not intervene to help this victim and stop the rape. Journalists are reporting that by-stander effect may be the cause. By-stander effect is a phenomenon that occurs in groups (group-think) whereupon groups of witnesses do not intervene to save a victim during the commission of a crime or while in distress. There are different reasons this social behavior may occur. The Keane Law Firm recognizes victims that endure tragic events such as this deserve compensatory justice. We represent victims that have suffered brutal assaults and get them the compensation they deserve to help put their lives back together. Perpetrators should pay for the damages they cause.

In Texas, Raymond Jessop will stand trial for sexual assault of a child. He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Mr. Jessop is the first of many polygamist sect members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The other defendants will face charges including failure to report child abuse, sexual assault and bigamy. The charges stem from the 2008 raid on the Yearning for Zion Ranch. Allegedly, Mr. Jessop impregnated a minor child that later went into labor. Authorities allege the adults in the compound would not seek medical care for the laboring child out of fear of child sex abuse being discovered in the ranch.
