Child's Dying Wish...

[Pandora]

Maybe he did it to pay for medical bills?

Just saying When times get tough, sometimes that is where people turn :shrug:

Have you thought that maybe, he could have caused his daughter's cancer? I wonder if his Meth lab was in the house?

"Jayci is sitting in a hospice fighting for her life and [her mother] thinks she is holding on for me to get there,'' an emotional Jason Yaeger said.

If death were not imminent, she'd probably be at home, or still in a hospital.

There's probably more to this story.

If he was sentenced to 5 years and has done 4, why isn't he out on parole?

 

[Dymphna]

If he was sentenced to 5 years and has done 4, why isn't he out on parole?

That's one of the questions I had. Another is if he's going to be done serving his time in 11 months, why is he THEN going to be transferred to a halfway house? If he was really done with ALL of his time, then wouldn't he be done period?

 

[Dymphna]

If death were not imminent, she'd probably be at home, or still in a hospital.

Plus if she is holding on until Daddy gets there...that means when he shows up she's gonna die, right? So he's trying to get there as fast as possible

does meth cause cancer :shrug:
Did someone say it was DEFINITELY a meth case?? I thought it was an assumption by someone...

I'm not saying he was right in any way...I'm just sayin that I'd be serving life w/o parole if someone tried to keep me from seeing my kid before they died...

Questions About Hospice

1. When should a decision about entering a hospice program be made and who should make it?

At any time during a life-limiting illness, it’s appropriate to discuss all of a patient’s care options, including hospice. By law the decision belongs to the patient. Most hospices accept patients who have a life-expectancy of six months or less and who are referred by their personal physician.

There is a lot more to it. This guy has been given two visit's with his dying daughter. He has seen her and had an opportunity to say goodbye. What if he gets out and she doesn't die, but then she is going to die next month...oh wait..maybe the month after that.

Good point. I retract my vote - not enough information to say one way or the other. Plus, as Jet said, the reporter is spinning the story for sympathy.

I honestly don't care what the guy did...if his kid wants to see him before she dies then by god she should get to see her dad.

 

[mAlice]

the reporter is spinning the story for sympathy.

He may be, but

1)he has been granted furlough in the past.
2)the kid is in hospice.
3)at this point, they're not just punishing the father, but the child as well.

I dunno'. Maybe I'm just being sappy over this.

I say let him go see her.

You are....but there is REASON to be sappy when kids are involved...DYING kids...

 

[Larry Gude]

Wouldn't that...

What if he gets out and she doesn't die, but then she is going to die next month...oh wait..maybe the month after that.

...that be just terrible.

 

[mAlice]

...that would be just terrible.

:fixed:

I missed cops post.

 

[virgovictoria]

Would the impact of allowing the convict see his daughter through to death be enough to be grateful for what he has been given? Will he also recognize from his time spent on the "inside" that it's time to go straight?

Sharon posted earlier :

Plus, he talks to her daily. She's been sick longer than he's been in jail. He chose to continue his life of crime and easy (tax free) money after the diagnosis of her illness.

Will he truly be rehabilitated?

See, if this case gets out and he is released, EVERY COTTON PICKIN' RELATIVE in the U.S. will be asking for inmate relief due to the "Deathbed Clause". Think about what you're liberally saying yes to. This is the first cup of hot McDonald's coffee spilled!

I am very empathetic. I just don't think he should be released for this reason only. Good behavior, time served, tutoring other inmates, parole AND consideration for family health... then okay, maybe.

Again, the case has media angling stamped all over it. :shrug:

That's a good point, too.

I didn't realize...

...he was being released. I thought it was to go see her then go back to jail. I also don't think this is about HIM, at all; He's a drug dealer, done most of his sentence and is incarcerated in a minimum security prison camp. Not some axe murderer. He already offered to DOUBLE the time he has left if he can go see her.

I could care less if he commits more crimes and goes back for life. That's his choice. I think this is about HER.

 

[Larry Gude]

So...

...people, in droves, will head to their death bed so dad can come see them for an hour or two?

 

[dobeday1]

Should her father be released and allowed to go to his dying daughter's side?

ABC News: Child's Dying Wish to See Dad Unfulfilled

Yes. I do feel that under these very extraordinary circumstances that the father be allowed to be at his daughters bedside. He was most likely there when she came into the world, and he should be there when she leaves it. It will give her comfort having her father there. It would be wrong not to allow him to be at his dying daughter's bedside. He has served most of his time already on drug charges. There are many people out there who have done a lot worse than that. It's not as though he were being freed. He's losing his daughter forever. He's just asking to be with her because she needs him to be.

does meth cause cancer :shrug:

I'm not saying he was right in any way...I'm just sayin that I'd be serving life w/o parole if someone tried to keep me from seeing my kid before they died...

The most common ingredient in meth is pseudoephedrine or ephedrine, commonly found in cold medicine. Through a cooking process the pseudoephedrine or ephedrine is chemically changed into meth. The ingredients that are used in the process of making meth can include: ether, paint thinner, Freon, acetone, anhydrous ammonia, iodine crystals, red phosphorus, drain cleaner, battery acid, and lithium (taken from inside batteries)

It is believed, although never proven with scientific evidence, that breathing these chemicals will cause cancer.

So... it is possible.


I wonder why the article didn't mention GPS tracking?

He shouldn't just be released out in society and let out of his sentence. He didn't get to the Federal system by being a 1st time offender, most likely, he was a career criminal prior to his incarceration. Released with a GPS tracker, maybe..... but under no other circumstances.

And still, as already mentioned, there will be others wanting to be home with their dying loved ones. He does get to speak to her everyday and has had 2 visits. I think that is more than generous when you are a law breaker.
