For years, industrial sites that once fueled the city’s economy have sat idle and deteriorating in and around residential areas. Now, the brownfields are presenting an opportunity for residents to re-invent their neighborhoods.
To NA - I wondered the same thing when I first heard that but my niece had a metal pole fall on her head and had a major concussion but there was no sign on her that anything had happened - not even any bruising. Her doctor told my sister that sometimes, with head injuries, that's the way it is. Also, I would have to imagine that all that was taken into account by the doctors and at the trial.
AMS - good for you! It is amazing to me that anyone would try to defend what Rebecca Polomaine did to that poor child, Riley. She may not have been a monster, but obviously she was in over her head and she snapped. She needs to pay and now she will. She should feel very fortunate that she did not receive a life sentence like the one she gave to Riley and her family. By the way, "stay at home, PTO moms" do bad things to their own children all the time - read the newspaper ShellyMay!
Poor women??? - are you kidding? What about poor Riley who will never be the same again? There was a lot of evidence against Polomaine and just the fact that she was a daycare provider and supposedly did not know how this child was injured in her home is bad enough. Also, the fact that she took time in calling an ambulance - my 7yr old would know better than that. I feel badly for her children as well, but with a mother like that they are far better off.
