Bad Parental Decisions
Just 40 minutes before a Steger man caused a drunken crash that killed a 5-year-old boy, Chicago Heights police allowed him to get behind the wheel, authorities said.
Police Chief Michael Camilli said the officer didn’t suspect Cecil Conner, 22, had been drinking when he sent him on the road at 2:35 a.m. Monday after arresting the car’s original driver.
Before the traffic stop, Conner and LaFond had been partying with friends at the Chicago Heights home of Dane D’Andrea, according to D’Andrea.
Asked if Conner was intoxicated when he left, D’Andrea said, “sure, he was.”
“I’m assuming the cops gave him the keys so the car wasn’t impounded, but they shouldn’t have let him (drive),” D’Andrea said.
- [Police Chief] Camilli said he did not know why Conner did not pick up LaFond after she was released from police custody shortly before 3 a.m.
And what about this odd photo Channel 5 decided to use on their website?
Color us jaded and cynical, but that doesn't appear to be what we'd call a "natural" position for a child's hands. Every other news outlet cropped out the bottom few inches, but NBC gives us an unintentional look at how this innocent child was being raised and the bad decisions that resulted in his untimely death.Labels: we got nothing

Every once and a while, Charles Darwin gets it right...
That "gang representation" was shown on Channel 9 news at 9PM as well. I only remember because I thought it was an odd finger pose for a little kid. Scary and ultimately sad for that little guy. What a shame.
shitheads are us--- babies having babies and when it's time to party the kids come last.... the newscast on this story was like shithead central--- bust out white trash hillbillies trying to put the blame on the police...
Mother gets a tvb. She knows baby daddy is drunk. But decides not to tell the officer this. Instead she lets drunk baby daddy drive the car away with child who should have been in bed 6 hours ago. The parents are scumbags. The kid had no chance.
Can't blame the copper for this tragedy. The kid didn't have a chance with this stupid broad for a mother.
Oops. Hey look at that shiney thing over there. Next topic.
.... had no chance growing up a gangbanger anyway....next
that kid never had a chance ...
that s not the ''old nixon'' victory salute?
Pretty straight forward about the gang signs from junior. Even my wife spotted it and she ain't the Police. None the less I'm sure loevy is contacting the scumbag parents to make some quick money.
I didn't get my current issue of Gang Weekly, what gang is the child representing?
"they" didn't turn the car over to a drunk, SHE turned the car over to the drunk. She claims to have been sober. She had other options. Don't blame the police.
Message to the family and friends: This child is dead because the mother chose to go out partying with drunks until 2am with her 5yr old son. end of story.
f'ing trash will never learn.
Where to even start....
I'll make sure I give my own kids an extra hug tonight. This kid had no choice of the road he was forced down. I hope baby-momma and baby-daddy find a special place in hell.
WGN-TV, Channel 9, did indeed show the full photo last night -- even more than what you've got up. I was frantic to try to find a copy online -- so glad someone found this.
Didn't I say last week or so that the problem isn't that the parents "don't know what they're children are doing," but that many parents today are gangbangers themselves?
Talk about "child abuse;" teaching a little kid the clothing and hand signs of a violent criminal organization before the kid is even old enough to understand that this behavior can get you killed.
Not to mention the horrible DUI. NBC says that "The officer involved in the initial traffic stop has been on the force for two years and was shaken after learning about the accident. Chicago Heights Police Chief Michael Camilli said the young officer had Conner walk and talk and deemed him sober.
"The department has launched an internal investigation to determine if proper procedures were followed."
Sounds appropriate...let's see how it shakes down.
Once again, no matter what the series of events, in the end the media ALWAYS portrays it to be the police officers fault. Its NEVER the person/s responsible who actually commit the crime. As if we already didn't know this, another reason if you didn't have thousands of examples, not to do a fu#@ing thing anymore. Because when you do, no matter what occurs the media and lawyers will be all over your butt. Collect your paycheck and go home. Just respond to your jobs and do the report. Other than that, don't go out of your way because the joke of Chicago-land media outlets will just crucify you. I have never witnessed such anti police bias in any other publications in this country except in this joke of a city. It's as if these reporters and editors were harassed by cops for smoking weed in journalism school and this is their only way to get "justice". It would be interesting to have some honest reporting of how the majority of criminals and certain elements of our society sit around all day drinking grape pop, collect government money, receive all sorts of disability benefits (when they are perfectly healthy), free housing, free LINK cards (only country in the world where our homeless are obese), make babies (lots of them!), use narcotics, commit robberies and burglaries and suck off working people. But no....Let's ignore these things and ignore what sits in jail and in prison or on probation or parole. Because that wouldn't be "nice" to talk about. Let's just hold hands and sing a song and ignore the reality of what is happening around us and talk about the "bad" and "angry" cops because they are portrayed as the root problem. If we are so bad, then why do they call 9-1-1 every two seconds to have them come to them!? Thats doesn't make sense. But this is Chicago... the next Detroit.
if Chicgo Heights had a impound policy for susp/rev dl the kid would be home flashing signs to his criminal uncle today.
Momma will sue and get PAID!!
Common sense doesn't count on the parents part!
The five-year-old is th'owin' up signs, baby daddy's got a "gold" chain and some mess tattooed on his neck, and now Grandpa is on TV, unshaven, with a headrag with long hair poking out. "Eh ih wha wha shouldna' happen. Naw."
Ever wonder why contractors get calls for a "privacy fence" TODAY, and I don't care what it costs, and how high can it legally be?

Not a police officer here, just a civilian. But this is ALL on the mother's head and I can't believe the media is even reporting comments that link a police officer and this crime of insanity. I simply can't understand how it's OK for a mom to take her kid out to party, gets wasted and pulled over and doesn't think twice about turning the keys over to her drunk baby daddy who smashs into a tree? Ugh. Like the previous poster said, the kids didn't have a chance. As a parent who has lost a baby due to illness, this makes me sick.
White trash bangers, baby dady's mugshot has him in red and black. When the news interviewed his brother and buddies in same colors and tats.
Sure officer, you can tow my car and have my child go to the station in a police car with a booster seat.
OR
Don't tow my fuckin car. My high and drunk baby daddy can drive to get bond money with my child unsecured in the car.
How in hell were the Police to actually know this imperial ass-clown was under the influence?
Lots of "educated drunks" out there... Uhhh... Strike that. Most educated/functional/well-rehearsed drunks are old-timers. This turd in the gene pool was perhaps lucky.
(...And we do not say that at the expense of the poor child who was perhaps doomed anyway judging by whatever hell affiliation he was "tossin' up." May that child rest in God's eternal care.)
So when the officer went to hand the keys over to the father, the mother never once said, "Hey, don't. I'm the designated driver and he's been drinking. Let me call someone else to pick up my son."? What a shitbag. Now this poor officer is going to feel at fault for this child's death. How horribly unfair to the officer. There are plenty of people out there that can look and act sober when they aren't. The blood is on the mother's hands on this one. God Bless that poor baby who had no choice in the matter, or in the life he was born into. And God Bless the officer that will undoubtedly feel guilty for the rest of his days.
Dont put this on the Police, Its right there. The Mother knew what that white trash gang banger was doing all night, but she did'nt want her car towed!!! Look at the friend "Dane" look at granpa!!! Right no shit there!!! Picture of little kid w/tilted hat throwing signs & family anry at CHPD??? Un Fucking real! RIP, little man...you never had a chance!! And now this poor Officer has to go thru all this doing his job!!!
Amazing isn't it? The mother has her 5 year old son out partying with her and her boyfriend until 2 am on Mother's Day. Then mom gets taken in because of a suspended drivers liscense, the boyfriend drives drunk (and high) and the young boy dies. That one picture speaks volumns. This poor child died in a tragic accident that could have been avoided. Not necessarily by the police, but by his family that the media is portraying as heartbroken. As a parent I would be heartbroken to see this child growing up in an environment where it was ok to throw gang signs,and to be surronded by such losers who don't have much regard for their own lives let alone the life of their own young son. As usual the police are the ones to blame, but do any of these "victims" ever look in the mirrow and ask themselves, what they could have done differently. No I doubt they do... that would be to difficult, they choose to point fingers at the police officer who let the man go as opposed to pointing the finger at the mother, the boyfriend or the family themselves for allowing this behavior in this poor childs life.
Let's see:
mom out with gangbanging boyfriend to 2 am and toting jr around with her when he should be safe in bed.
mom driving with suspended license
mom lets bf drive away with her kid in the car knowing bf he is drunk
Who is responsible here? Fuck the media blaming it on the police. Fuck the bf for taking off in the car. No one had the brains to call for someone else to drive?
Who cares?
Reporters asks where the blame belongs.

The wrong person died in that wreck.
Also what about the 40 minutes asswipe took to drive 2.5 miles between the traffic stop and the accident.
Might he have stopped for a few tokes or some brews?
Tell DCFS we have new instructionaL materiaL for their Archives.
