How does someone do anything like this to a baby? People are effing sick these days. Just last week, out here where I live that mother and 3 year old boy were both shot and killed, and it is suspected that it was the father/husband.

They need to take 'em out back to the tallest tree and hang those sorry SOB's and may all of the people that do harm to children rot in hell forever

BARTLESVILLE - A 26-year-old mother is being held on second-degree manslaughter complaint in the Thursday death of her 10-day-old girl, who was allegedly placed in a washing machine that went on a full wash cycle.

Lyndsey D. Fiddler was booked into the jail in Bartlesville on a failure to appear for a court review on an April arrest for possessing drugs. The manslaughter complaint was added about 3:30 p.m. Friday.

Police say Fiddler placed a 911 call at 7:42 p.m. Thursday saying, “My baby is dead.” Police, ambulance and fire trucks responded in the 500 block of Shawnee Avenue, where the death occurred.

Bartlesville Police Chief Tom Holland said an arrest will be made for the infant’s death, but officials are continuing to sift through evidence from search warrants and interviews.

“I’ve been involved in law enforcement for 40 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this,” Holland said. “I’ve never heard anything like this. It is hard. Our officers are all professionals, but they are also fathers and grandfathers. And any time you have something that involves a baby, it is not easy to deal with.”

Holland said Fiddler originally claimed to 911 the infant had been killed by a family member.

The police report states Fiddler blamed her mother, Rhonda Coshatt. But Holland states she was referred to an aunt.

Another voice on the 911 call could be heard in the background saying, “No I didn’t kill your baby. You did.”

According to a police report, Coshatt, stated she last saw the baby when Fiddler left the living room to go feed her. Fiddler returned without the baby.

Coshatt told officers she then went looking for the infant. After hearing the washing machine, she found the baby after lifting the lid.

Two young boys were removed from the home and are in custody of the state Department of Human Services, Holland said.

“I can assure you we’re not going to leave any stone unturned,” Holland said.

Fiddler was arrested on April 7 in Washington County on a misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance. She pleaded guilty on Aug. 16 and was sentenced to a one-year suspended sentence and drug and alcohol evaluations, which included random drug tests.

A bench warrant for her arrest was issued on Oct. 25 for failing to appear at a review hearing.

Couldn't believe it until I read about it. Total shock and disgust. The baby is in the arms of the Lord now. I try to stay focused on that and it helps.
