Mother abandoned quadriplegic son with cerebral palsy in woods

Police signed an arrest warrant for a Philadelphia woman after she allegedly left her quadriplegic son with cerebral palsy alone in the woods for over five days with nothing but a blanket and a Bible.

Nyia Parler, 41, is accused of leaving her 21-year-old son in a wooded area before traveling to Maryland to visit her boyfriend.

After several days of cold temperatures and rain, the victim was found 100-feet into the woods around 9 p.m. Friday, according to Philadelphia Police Lt. John Walker. Investigators say the victim likely would have died if not for the man who spotted him while passing by.

Rescuers took the man to a hospital where he is being treated for a cut on his back, dehydration, malnutrition and exposure to the weather. He is currently in stable condition.

"A lot of things could've happened out there," Walker said. "Obviously he's in the middle of a wooded area. You have wild animals out there. You never know what's going to happen."

Several of his aunts are by his bedside, said police, who added the relatives are being interviewed about his medical history and his mother. Officials describe the victim as "non-verbal" and completely dependent on others for his care.

"What we've learned so far is that the 21-year-old child lives with his mother, completely dependent on mom as a result of his condition," Walker said. "She also has a 16-year-old son who is staying with other family members."

Mother arrested for murdering infant son in restaurant

According to police and witnesses, “soulless” Latisha Fisher killed her 20-month-old son in the bathroom of a Manhattan burger restaurant last week — and prevented restaurant workers from rescuing the doomed boy.

Then she “blamed the devil,” a police source said.

A woman walked into the bathroom and saw the mother holding her hand on young Gavriel's mouth, but Fisher told her: “I put my hand over his mouth to put him to sleep.”

The mother locked herself in the bathroom and customers and employees became worried when the line to the toilets grew long. When workers forced their way inside, the child was unconscious and foaming at the mouth.

They said Fisher tried to stop the restaurant staff from performing CPR on the limp toddler.

“I would describe her as soulless,” a law enforcement official said when asked if the mom seemed distraught. “She put her hand over his mouth and smothered him.” Another sickened police source said: “She is a lunatic. She is crazy.”

Gavriel was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he died, cops said. The mother was taken into custody at the scene. 

The boy's maternal grandmother said, “He was such a happy baby.”

My mother used to say that about me.

Mother forced daughter to put dead sister in freezer

The saga of a Detroit mother accused of killing two of her children and stuffing their bodies in a freezer took yet another gut-wrenching twist last week.

Court records show that one of Mitchelle Blair's surviving children was forced to place the body of her 13-year-old sister into the freezer.

The bodies of Stephen Berry, 9, and Stoni Blair, 13, were discovered Tuesday after an eviction notice was served on Blair for failing to pay her rent.

Police said Blair has two living children, an 8-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl, both of whom knew their siblings had been killed and that the bodies were hidden in the freezer. Both were also beaten by their mother and had scars from being burned and whipped with an extension cord.

The state is trying to terminate the parental rights of two fathers. Neither protected his children from "an unfit home environment where the children were physically abused, tortured and murder," a juvenile court petition said.
