    Drowned girl's mother is charged

    HARTWELL Hart County authorities have filed involuntary manslaughter charges against the mother of an 11-month-old girl who drowned in the family's bathtub two weeks ago.

    Tonya Lee Parker, 31, of 135 Kotal Road in western Hart County, was arrested Tuesday morning and released on $10,000 bond. Mrs. Parker was at home when her youngest daughter, Alyssa McKenzie Parker, slipped under her bath water on Sept. 17.

    The 11-month-old Alyssa survived on life support at Greenville Memorial Hospital for three days. She died on Sept. 20.

    Hart County Sheriff Mike Cleveland made it clear Thursday that investigators aren't accusing Mrs. Parker of any criminal intent leading to the death of her child.

    "But she's in charge of that child," Sheriff Cleveland said. "When you neglect that charge and a death results, the state has no choice but to charge her."

    In an interview on Sept. 20, Mrs. Parker said she had been up all night with her sick daughter and was preparing to give her a bath on Sept. 17 when a group of Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on her door. She said she started talking to the visitors, whom she knew, and forgot that her daughter was in the bathroom.
    The baby's father, Danny Parker, attempted to revive her until an ambulance arrived about 17 minutes after Mrs. Parker called 911. Mrs. Parker claimed responsibility for her child's death but said she said she believed her life could have been saved if medical help had arrived sooner.

    In a Sept. 20 interview, Hart County Emergency Medical Service Director Terrell Partain said the Parkers' newly named drive had not yet been entered into the county's 911 database on Sept. 17, which delayed efforts to find the family's home, probably by at least seven minutes.

    If she is convicted of involuntary manslaughter, Mrs. Parker won't necessarily serve jail time, Sheriff Cleveland said. He said a judge could sentence her to intensive probation if he chooses to.

    theleveler... I also like the movies' honesty. It seems that every group (national, religious, and political) only wants their GOOD history known and they want the BAD history erased (i.e., Jehovah's Witnesses...LOL).

    Beck... If, after seeing this movie, you have questions, shoot me an e-mail ( [email protected] ) or start a thread. I'll help you with the lingo. I'll charge you $8.50!!!! LOL!

    i'm new here and this is the first post i make (i promise that more will come).

    i have been following most of the posts made here quietly for about 4 months and i would like to thank all of you who are called apostates for the well documented and researched material you have presented here.thanks to you i know now the truth about the wt organization and i'm no longer blind and misled.

    i disassociated myself about 2 months ago after 15 years of very "faithful" service to the society.i was regular pioneer for 12 years and an elder for 8 years, i served mainly as the service overeer.my experience was published in the 2 of the society's magazins.. as i was a very zealous and prominent elder in my circuit i zealously promoted the organizational rules and i allowed myself to be fully used by the society to promote those mind controle techniques that now i know hurt those who were my sheep.

    Hi, Six.

    I agree with you regarding the putting together of many characters and making it work well. I liked Ice Cube in 'Boyz N The Hood' but not in 'Anaconda'. He was really good in 'Barbershop' and 'Friday'.

    'My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding' was excellent! I need to go and check that out again!

    I heard that 'Monsoon Wedding' is supposed to be good. The Security Guard at my job (an Indian Woman) was telling me about it.

    Growing up in a mostly black neighborhood, I must say that black folks don't necessarily talk MORE than white folks during a movie. Black folks are just louder. However, that could just be a stereotype because the theater where I saw 'Barbershop' was filled with mostly white teens. They had a Security Guard standing around who ended up kicking some people out.

    White or Black or otherwise...you hafta be a real numbskull to waste your $8.50 by getting kicked out at a movie.

    Hmmm...speaking about people who pee in their pants...just kidding!

    Jeannie... I wanted to go to the march but I didn't make it. However, my best friend (badwillie) went. Did you meet him? Badwillie is one funny guy!

    I should have gone since I'm in Philly but my job circumstances prevented me from attending. If you're not too far maybe we can plan another Philly Phest (includes NJ and DE).
