Apparently there was enough evidence to arrest her. She should be investigated regardless of what type of sweet person she is acclaimed to be. Anyone can have a dark side-ANYONE.

I do truly hope that all evidence to prove guilt or innocence is brought forth. I also know that children do make up stories for whatever reason that is not true. When my nephew was almost 5 yrs old he fell off a landscaping log that he was stepping up on. When my sister asked why he was playing on it when he had been told not to he told her that I had put him on it and made him fall off. She called me laughing because I live in NC and they live in Va.

I really don't believe she is guilty , and hopefully it will all come out. It's a shame that we are guilty and have to go thru so much to prove our innoences, She is a very nice person and the i don't believe she would do something like that.

I also know Samantha, I went to HS together, and remember when she got preg and had her son, she loves her son so much. Will just have to see how this all plays out. I know that she had a bad temper in school but what teenager doesn't?

No one has said the boy is lying, we are saying the boy was confused. They started drilling him as soon as he woke up. The so called authorities has made it so that if someone is in trouble and needed 911, I'd have to really think about it before I called, because look at what happened here. Samantha called 911, through their help SHE revived her son, not the rescue squad. But they are trying to charge her with this ridiculous crime. If it was someone they knew (the courts or social services) this would not be happening.

Sam is a sweet person and for her to do this she had to Smap or got realy mad about somthing..I know her and her Family and for her son he should go to her Family she has 3 other sisters 2 has kids of there own and her Mom. I hope that they let one of them have him so he can be with Family. Sam God Be With You!!! and We hope that everything well be fine..

Samantha is my stepsister. And I believe in my heart that she did not do this. Elijah is a wonderful, and very rumbunxious lil boy. You blink your eyes for one second, and a child can get hurt, or end up missing. It happened to me once, it doesnt mean that i tried to kill my son, or that I am a bad parent. I just took my off for him for a second. And every parent knows what I am talking about. Samantha did NOT try to kill her son. When ALL the facts come out, everyone will feel ashamed of what they have said!
