Wisconsin Man Sexually Assaults 17 month old
Yes, it's even hard for me to type out that headline - But remember this picture, because you are looking at a monster and had I not told you what you are about to read...you'd probably never believe it.
I've been trying to take a mental break and not relaying some of the more disgusting and often all to common news stories on sexual assault and domestic violence - but this one...this is one of those I cannot shake.
This week in a Wisconsin Rapids courtroom, twenty-five year old Jeremy Lund (pictured), plead guilty to sexual assault of a minor - a child....a baby....17 months old. He is facing a mandatory of 25 years in prison, and up to 70 years maximum.
That baby - those parents...what are they facing?
Evidently this all occurred when the parents left their child under the care of Lund while they went shopping....it was upon returning home two hours later, that the parents noticed their baby bleeding and bruised....Lund was missing. Off the child went with the mother to the ER...and the father remained home to wait for Lund.....
What does Lund tell everyone.........."I blacked out and don't remember."
DNA evidence taken from both the INNOCENT BABY and Lund provide the picture needed to prosecute the case.
Most likely like you...my mind cannot even wrap itself around this story.
I cannot even imagine the pain in those parent's hearts...
The rage in that father while he sits in the courtroom and listens to the proceedings...
The image of their baby bleeding and bruised....
The self prescribed guilt from deep within a parent's heart, I am sure they fight for leaving their child in the care of a monster...How could they know? It's not their fault.
17 months old........
I think back to when my children were that age.....
Their little diaper butts waddling around and exploring the world around them....
Smiling.....
Talking their own mix of baby talk and English....
The innocence beaming from them like a halo....
And the only thought from this bleeding heart of mine is..........
FRY THE BASTARD!
UPDATE -
Ok, I wrote this blog a little earlier this morning, and since then have read as much on this story as possible -
Going a little further I looked up Jeremy Lund on Wisconsin Court Cases website...and gee...what did a I find? A RAP SHEET A MILE LONG!!!!
PARENTS!!!!!!!!!!!
C'mon people - KNOW WHO YOU LEAVE YOUR CHILD WITH!
I am not going to jump the gun here and say the parents of this baby knew about this man and his record or not....that would not be fair on my part
But hopefully some other parent will read this, and think twice before they leave a vulnerable child with someone they really don't know...or do not know their history...
We live in the age of technology...information at our fingertips - USE IT!!!
Check people out if your going to expose your child to them!!!!!!!!!!!!

to the majority this is somethign that happens but not in thier own backyards type thing .
I find at times stats help giving people that kind of information they can see on a paper or on charts like if I start by saying 1 in 4 children . then ask the question to them look around at your own children the kids on your street . look at that group close to home and realize 1 out of 4 will be abused in this way . then the question by who ? because that is the hardest reality and the deepest denial people still do not want to grasp or beleive it is thier own . Society beleives people travel to rape children but would never believe it might be thier own husband or brother or child's teacher etc.
prevention is the hardest work seems most of the help being offered is always for the after the fact after the child has been raped etc.
my father abused me since infancy by infancy I mean since a baby .I know many like me who just grew up with this a part of your life . like those who grow up with an alcoholic as a parent you begin to beleive it is the norm .
did you see the Oprah show a few yrs back about the baby from south africa who'd been raped by two men ? it was a horrid story . she survived and a woman from the states adopted her I believe . but the Oprah show brought to light that yes this is real . These monsters do exists and it not a rarity . child rape & torture are a common occurance and billions of dollars are made off it every yr.
You do so much that helps towards education Eva Marie . I am so happy to read your blog .
Thanks again .
love Rox
