We live in a brutal world. Many of the rich victimize the less fortunate for the sake of the bottom line. Ideology causes war and terrorism, thus ignoring the basic principal of most religions' philosophies - live well, live kindly, love and treat your neighbor (all mankind) with regard.
In many cases the brutality takes form in human illness. Addictions and deviance often causing more grief than physical disease.
One of the most disturbing of these is the preying on innocent children by sexual predators. The lack of human morals in these cases astounds me and further emphasizes the need for capital punishment. Harsh punishment should face all who deliberately, sickeningly, abscond with a child’s innocence through their touch. Hell, if I had my way the ball-ping hammer scene in "Payback" with Mel Gibson would be replayed and made to fit the severity of the brutal nature of these twisted crimes.
Recently I have been made aware of one such case. Innocent children becoming victims of a justice system that is supposed to protect them. Through the Las Vegas court's inaction and corrupt procedure of offering plea bargains, a monster, as describe by many who know about the case, has remained loose to continue his sick practices. The police, state agencies, and the judicial system are all to blame for the pain these children are forced to endure - a hell unimaginable by most.
On February 26, 1999 Detective Toddy of the Las Vegas Metropolitan police department was assigned a case of a two year old girl who had been sexually and physically assaulted. He was joined by Detective Scott. What follows is the arrest report filed by Toddy and is a matter of public record. Detective Toddy and Detective Scott's investigation and documentation was top-notch.
Some editing has been done to conceal the names of the innocents involved.
Police Report
"I, Detective Toddy ... was assigned (a) case on the 26th of February. At this time it was relayed to me that a child by the name of 'Lynn' ... has been admitted to Sunrise Hospital. Upon speaking with Dr. Zbiegien, the pediatric Scan Doctor at Sunrise, he relayed the following to me.
On the 25th of February, 'Lynn' was brought into Sunrise Hospital by her mother, 'Terri'. 'Terri' had stated that she had noted that her daughter's left arm (was) swollen and stiff. The child was brought to the Emergency Room and seen by Dr. Traub, who determined that the child had a spiral fracture and bruises on her thighs and buttocks. Upon further inspection of the bruising, Dr. Traub also noticed that there were bruises on the exterior portion of the child's vagina. Due to the nature of these bruises, he notified the Scan Unit at Sunrise and also notified the police due to the suspicious nature of these bruises. At this time, Dr. Zbiegien took over the care of this child.
Dr. Zbiegien conducted an examination and it was determined that the bruising on the buttocks and thigh area was definitely from someone who had roughly handled the child and one mark on the back of the right thigh was distinctly a hand shaped bruise. Dr. Zbiegien also did an internal inspection of the genital area to include the vagina and it revealed inflammation and possible bruising of the pre-hymenal tissue inside of the vagina. Dr. Zbiegien also stated that the rectal area of the child had an appearance that was also bruised and he also noticed an abrasion on the anus. This is consistent with someone who is trying to penetrate the vagina area with a penis and also the anus area. At this time, the police were called out to Sunrise Hospital.
Once at Sunrise Hospital, 'Terri' was briefly interviewed and the child was booked into Sunrise Hospital for further treatment. I received this case Friday and arranged to have interviews with all of the parties. Due to it being late in the day, the interviews and investigation were continued on Monday, March 1, 1999. A police hold was put on 'Lynn' at the hospital, so that she would not be in any further danger from who had done this to her.
On Monday, March 1, 1999, I conducted an interview with Barry Blatman to determine his involvement in this case. Upon speaking with 'Terri', the victim's mother, she had stated to me that after day care, Barry Blatman had picked up the child on Thursday, February 25, 1999. I spoke with Blatman. He was extremely nervous and talkative. Blatman stated that he and 'Terri' had been friends for approximately three weeks and 'Terri' had asked him to pick up 'Lynn' from the day care. 'Lynn' attends day care and since Barry and 'Terri' are friends, he said that he would do her the favor. Upon ending work on Thursday at 4:30, Blatman proceeded to pick up 'Lynn' from the day care. The day care has a video showing Blatman entering at approximately 1634 hours (4:34) on Thursday and going to check 'Lynn' out of school. The video further shows that 'Lynn' is walking down the hallway swinging her arms and a very happy child as she was leaving the facility.
However when I spoke to Blatman, he stated to me that when he picked up 'Lynn' she was very withdrawn and quiet. He then stated that he took her to his house at 1441 Still Creek in Henderson, Nevada. The house is occupied by his sister, Jennifer. Jennifer was at home from approximately 5:15 to 5:40 when she left the residence. When she left the residence, Berry was left alone with 'Lynn' for approximately an hour and forty five minutes. Blatman had said that nothing had happened during that time, and he had noticed while changing her diaper that 'Lynn' had a slight redness on her genital area. Blatman, at approximately 1750 hours (5:50) called the day care and asked if there was an incident report, due to the fact, that he also noticed a small bruise on the child's back. The day care stated that they were not going to discuss the child's condition with a stranger, due to the fact, that this was a private issue and that they would deal with the mother. Blatman was very disturbed about that.
Blatman stated that then the baby wanted to take a nap and did so. At approximately 7:45, 'Terri' came back to Blatman's residence to pick up her daughter. She stated that 'Lynn' was in the crib and when she saw her mother, she said, 'Mommy', her normal behavior. At this time, 'Terri' and Barry Blatman, along with 'Lynn' went to run some errands and go grocery shopping. Blatman stated that they went grocery shopping at approximately 2230 hours (10:30), 'Terri' noticed that 'Lynn's' arm looked swollen. Upon her first inspection, 'Terri' noticed that it was extremely swollen on the upper portion of her arm and wanted to take 'Lynn' to the emergency room. At this time, it is when Barry and 'Terri' parted company with 'Terri' taking 'Lynn' to the Emergency Room.
Blatman stated that he had nothing to do with these injuries and had no idea how they happened. He stated that he didn't notice that the child had a broken arm and wasn't paying enough attention to know how these bruises could have happened. He stated while she was in his care, nothing had happened.
I spoke with day care and spoke with the two ladies who cared for the child on Thursday during the day and also the staff member who was at the reception desk when the child left. I was given the video tape of the child leaving the day care on Thursday, showing her happy attitude when leaving. After interviewing the care givers and looking at the paperwork, it was my assessment along with the Child Protective Services, Natalie Guesman, that these injuries did not occur while the child was at day care.
Due to the time frame, we tried to eliminate possible people who had involvement with this child abuse so all parties concerned were asked if they would submit to a polygraph test. Child Protective Services arranged polygraph test to be given by Ron Slaughter on Wednesday. The mother, 'Terri' passed her polygraph. 'Terri's' mother, Norma, passed her polygraph. However Barry Blatman failed his polygraph answering the questions. He was very evasive and it shown to be defective.
On Thursday morning after inspection of all the evidence, Detective J. Scott, and I went to Blatman's place of employment ... and had a more intense talk with him about the details of the case. Once we arrived ... , they stated that he was not working until 1:30 and that he was probably at home. At this time, Detective Scott and I went over to Blatman's residence. While at Blatman's residence, I spoke with his sister Jennifer. Jennifer stated to me that indeed she was at the residence on Thursday when Barry brought 'Lynn' home at approximately 1715 hours (5:15). She stated that 'Lynn' was not crying but was quiet and distant. Also, Jennifer noted that she did not see any noticeable bruising or markings on 'Lynn' at this time. 'Lynn' was wearing a small dress. Her legs and arms were visible. Jennifer further stated that she had left her residence at 1740 hours (5:40) leaving Barry and 'Lynn' at the residence alone. She wrote a statement to this fact.
Upon Barry stepping out of the home to speak with us, Detective Scott spoke with him briefly. He stated that he had some questions about the incident and if Barry Blatman was willing to come and talk to him at our office. Blatman stated that he would do that and began to cry. Detective Scott began mentioning some of the evidence that we had on bruising that happened to 'Lynn'. Blatman began to cry and stated that the hand print left on the child's right thigh was indeed his. With this information, we also knew that Dr. Zbiegien's scan had stated all of the bruising, due to the coloration, had occurred at the same time. The vagina being bruised, the legs and buttocks had all occurred at the same time. This made us believe that perhaps Blatman was responsible for more than just the one hand print. Blatman had his mother ... accompanying him down to 3010 W. Charleston, to our office. He came voluntarily and of his own free will. He drove in a car on his own and arrived at our office on his own volition.
Once at our office, we advised Blatman what we would be talking to him about and his mother had stated that she would wait in the waiting room while he spoke to us. Detective Scott began to interview him and Blatman was crying and becoming very upset over the whole incident. He stated that perhaps he had broken the baby's arm when she was over at his residence but couldn't remember how he did it. He also stated that yes he did hit her in the thigh area but didn't remember why he did that also. He stated also to Detective Scott that he had touched 'Lynn's' genital area and her anus with his hand but couldn't remember the circumstances around that. Blatman became very upset and crying and Detective Scott asked him if he wanted to go outside to smoke a cigarette and give him a break from the interview and Blatman, in fact, did. Blatman went outside to discuss the interview with his mother and returned back to talk further with Detective Scott. As Detective Scott tried to narrow down some of the time frames, it became obvious that we now had probable cause to believe that Barry Blatman had done these injuries to 'Lynn'. At this time, we advised Barry Blatman that we felt that he was the suspect that had done all of these injuries to the child and he was advised that he would be placed under arrest.
Once he was placed under arrest, Detective Scott read him his rights and Blatman at this time decided that perhaps that he did need an attorney because he was getting very scared about where the interview was going. At this time, he was placed into handcuffs, read Miranda by Detective Scott, and taken to our car. His mother was advised of the circumstances of this arrest with Blatman present and asking us to do so. He was then taken to the Clark County Jail where he was booked accordingly.
A serology kit was also taken and a blood test for communicable diseases was also taken and logged in at the jail."
With the arresting officer's report one could consider this a "slam-dunk" of a case and the amended criminal complaint filings by the Las Vegas District Attorney's Office matched the crimes, charging Blatman with two sexual assault counts and one count of child abuse and neglect. All of these charges carry with them the maximum punishment of life in prison under the Nevada Revised Statutes as they were with a child under the age of 14 and sexual in nature.
What happened next is one of the grossest injustices that could occur. Trying to get a conviction, any conviction, without regard to the victim, then District Attorney Stewart L. Bell offered Barry Blatman and his counsel Michael J. Amador a plea bargain dropping both counts of the sexual abuse. WHAT?! Oh, it gets worse. Accepting the deal and pleading guilty to the remaining charge of child abuse and neglect, Blatman was sent for sentencing.
The case was handed to Clark County District Judge Lee Gates. Having Blatman's full records and not bound to accept the D.A.'s plea arrangement, Gates, in all his judicial wisdom, sentenced Blatman to 120 months in prison but suspended the sentence, further ordering Blatman to be placed on probation for a period of five years. Yeah, you read that right. The sentence was suspended. Blatman never set foot in prison for this vile attack on a two year old girl.
Through this plea offering and sentencing Bell and Gates stripped this little girl of any faith in a system that was designed to protect the innocent. Bell and Gates raped her again. In my opinion they have proven themselves to be incompetent stewards of justice. Both of them should be charged with crimes against humanity and the little girl whom Blatman brutalized and who they victimized through injustice should be awarded the right to wrong them. Perhaps the right to defile both Bell and Gates by sentencing them to serve 10 days in the general population of Carson's Maximum Security Prison. I bet they'd feel what it was like then, huh?
I wish I could say that this injustice ends here. That it never affected anyone else. That Blatman's probation served its purpose, and he is no longer committing these horrific acts. But, recent allegations made by his girlfriend's 4 & 5 year old children to their father and grandparents suggest otherwise. They have indicated repeatedly that Blatman inserts his fingers into their anuses. The four-year-old even says that Blatman painfully pinches his penis if he ever wets his bed.
These allegations were taken to the Henderson, Nevada, Police Department and Child Protective Services (CPS), a department of the Nevada Division of Children and Family Services (DCFS), for action but the agencies have closed their cases due to a lack of physical evidence. The Henderson Police Department even declared to the father that it doesn't want to get involved in a case where the children can be easily swayed to make allegations, especially when there is an upcoming custody case and the parents obviously don't get along.
WHAT?! I don't care if there is physical evidence or not, GET THESE KIDS OUT OF THIS SITUATION! We all know that CPS can take children away on mere allegation. It happens all the time.
The mother of the two boys, Jill, has made it clear she is standing by her man, Blatman, and she has filed unwarranted restraining orders and stalking charges on the father, who's only fault is trying to ensure the safety of his two sons. On September 26, 2005 the father faces his stalking charge in court.
Should these trumped-up charges stick, Jill's bid for sole custody on their December 8-9, 2005 custody hearing in front of Nevada Family Court Judge Jennifer Elliott will surely be successful and the boys will be taken from a father who truly cares about the safety and well being of his children. One thing is for sure, all eyes will be on Judge Elliott to see that right is done, justice is served, and the children are out of harm's way.
The fact is that all of this wouldn't even be an issue had D.A. Bell and Judge Gates followed the law to its just conclusion - Blatman in prison for life. Or, in my opinion, he should never be able to touch another child for the lack of extremities.
Maybe it's just me and I don't get it. How can we say we have a "justice system" when such flagrant displays of injustice are rampant?
And that's what is real scary, this is just one of the many cases where the judicial system, government "protective" services, and police have let down victims and their families - the further rape of the innocent through the injustice of it all.
