Missing Florida Baby Found Alive
Great news this morning as little Shannon Lee Dedrick, the Florida baby who had been missing for days, has been found alive in a box underneath the bed of the his baby sitter.
From CNN:
The sheriff of Washington County in rural northwest Florida carried the 7-month-old girl into the early morning news conference.
“This is Shannon Lee Dedrick. We found her safe; we do not usually get the happy endings that happened here today,” Sheriff Bobby Haddock said.
“If you want to see a bunch of grown men cry, tonight we rushed her to the hospital and we [were] all calling home to our wives to let them know we found this baby safe.”
The sitter, Susan Baker, her husband, James Baker, and Crystina Lynn Mercer have been detained but have not been charged. Haddock has scheduled another news conference at noon Eastern time.
The incident happened near Chipley in Florida’s panhandle near the Alabama state line.

So glad to hear that the baby was found. You start to wonder if any will ever be found after they disappear.

I also had Tears in my Eyes watching the Video.
Miracles do happen! It was a very emotional time for All the People who were involved in the Search for that precious Baby.
When the Sheriff came out with little Shannon cradling her in his Arms, Tears in his Eyes it made everyone realize how emotional a Case like this is for Law Enforcement.
Thank God for a Happy Ending!

Both of the women in this incident are monsters and thank god they are off the street. I hope they throw away the key on this freak babysitter.
How can someone complain about another abusing a baby then keeping her in a wooden box under the bed for 12 hours to save her own skin…she’s not human, this Baker woman.

A Welcome Relief to at least one Story of this Nature.
It was obvious from the News Coverage that little Shannon was Undernourished, and not the “Typical Happy Baby”. The Mother is definitely not Competent, the Aunt (and Babysitter) has a Violent Criminal Past, and it’s really a Blessing that nothing more Serious happened. She’ll be in better Hands now, but will probably never realize how Lucky she was.

This just proves once again there is a God and how he works miracles through people like these law enforcement guys. That baby is so sweet and cute and i hope she is given to a couple that will lavish her with love and attention that she so deserves. Bless her and Bless God~

Sophie, monster’s is right on. I think the punishment should fit the crime when adults do these haneous acts to children. They should put the mother and aunt in a box and nail the lid shut and go off and leave them for good, perhaps in the scorching Sahara Desert.
