How could a mother do something like this? Violence from the FASD brain is more prevalent in males, but the brain damage in a female can lead to violence as well. This behavior fits the profile of a female who does not have the capability to manage her behaviors due to brain damage. Ask the question and there is a high probability you will find this woman is prenatally exposed to alcohol.

AUSTIN — A woman has been charged with child endangerment, a state jail felony, for beating her 4-year-old daughter before throwing her into the path of an oncoming vehicle, police said.
The driver of the brown Suburban braked and did not strike the child.
Aurelia Gallardo, 24, could face up to 20 years if convicted. Bail was set at $25,000.
Lt. Dana Brockington with the Austin Police Department told The Associated Press early Friday he did not know whether Gallardo had an attorney.
When the incident happened Tuesday, Gallardo and her three children were waiting for a city bus.
A witness at the bus stop told police he saw Gallardo lift her daughter by the arm so forcefully that he thought the girl's arm "was going to dislocate out of the socket." The witness told police that Gallardo then violently threw the girl into the street and pulled her by her hair before throwing her into a parked vehicle, according to an arrest affidavit.
The witness said Gallardo told her daughter, "You are dead to me" and "You are a slut."
"It's pretty outrageous when a parent loses composure to that degree," said police Sgt. Brian Loyd of the child abuse investigation unit in a story for Friday's online edition of the Austin American-Statesman. "We see some bad stuff on our unit, but this is new for us."
Once Gallardo boarded the bus, according to the affidavit, the bus driver said the woman was "yelling every four-letter word known" at the 4-year-old and was telling the girl that "CPS would take her away and that no one would want her."
Police stopped the city bus and took Gallardo into custody, Loyd said.
Loyd said the three children are in the custody of Child Protective Services.

Ask the Question. He fits the profile of brain damage from prenatal exposure to alcohol.
NEW YORK — Prosecutors say a homeless man told them he killed a New York City college student because he was bored and had nowhere to go.
Prosecutors filed a signed statement in court in which Jeromie Cancel admits killing 19-year-old Kevin Pravia in the victim's Manhattan apartment last month. But Cancel pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Wednesday on a second-degree murder charge.
The 22-year-old Cancel is being held without bail.
Cancel's statement says he killed Pravia by stuffing a plastic bag in his mouth while holding his nose and choking him with a cord around his neck.
The statement says Cancel was leaving the apartment but didn't have anywhere to go. It says, "I was bored, so I decided to go back into the apartment and kill him."

The Two Faces of FASD
A headline story in the Minneapolis Star Tribune shows the two faces of FASD. A vulnerable young man, identified as FAS by his adoptive mother, was viciously beat by four men and a woman. The vulnerable FAS man is easily identified because the damage to his brain was clearly evident and his adoptive mother knew and understands the devastation of FASD. The other face of FASD is the violent acts of the five individual who attacked him. While I do not have any evidence of the mothers of these five drinking while pregnant, the acts of violence and other evidence of dysfunction of these individuals all point to the exhibition of brain damage from prenatal exposure to alcohol. Unfortunately, this face of FASD is not easily recognized and, in almost all cases, the mother will not tell the truth about her level of drinking during the pregnancy. Our jails are full of this face of FASD.
Prosecutors: Lie prompted attack on vulnerable man
A teen-age girl allegedly told her boyfriend that the victim from Lakeville had hit her, and then she encouraged the four suspects.

A 16-year-old girl lied to her boyfriend that a mentally disabled Lakeville man had hit her and helped lure the man to a remote location, where she egged on her boyfriend and three other men as they beat and tortured the man, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Natasha Dahn of Lakeville was an instigator of the weekend assaults on Justin Hamilton, which left him with broken ribs, burns, cuts, bruises and other injuries, Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said.
She was charged with kidnapping, aggravated robbery and other crimes Wednesday, when prosecutors also brought additional charges against three of the four men accused in the abduction and beating of Hamilton, 24, of Lakeville. The men are accused of kidnapping Hamilton and taking him to a remote area of southern Dakota County, where he was assaulted over several hours Friday and Saturday nights.

Another FASD Inmate in Crow Wing County Jail
Please, Brainerd Dispatch, ask the question. You will find out this person was prenatally exposed to alcohol. His behaviors are directly linked to the brain damage he sustained in his mother's womb.
Stabbing leads to man's arrest
By MATT ERICKSON
Staff Writer
Police believe a fight over a woman led to the stabbing of one man and the arrest of another for attempted murder early Saturday in southeast Brainerd.
Brainerd Police officers were dispatched about 1:43 a.m. Saturday to St. Joseph's Medical Center in Brainerd after receiving a report of a stabbing victim at the hospital.
The victim, Jeffrey Ryan Bock, 27, Brainerd, suffered numerous stab wounds, police said. He was reported in stable condition Sunday at St. Joseph's Medical Center.
The suspect, Dominic Donald Duane Dubois, 23, Brainerd, later turned himself in at the Brainerd Police Department. He was arrested for attempted murder and first-degree assault and is being held in the Crow Wing County Jail pending formal charges.
Brainerd Police Chief John Bolduc said the stabbing was believed to have happened in a vehicle on the 1200 block of Rosewood Street. Brainerd Police and Crow Wing County Sheriff's deputies located the vehicle involved in the stabbing north of Brainerd.
Bolduc said Bock and Dubois were acquainted with each other.
"It's sounds like it was a domestic type situation," Bolduc said. "The two males had some type of relationship with the same female."
No other suspects are being sought, police said, but the incident is still under investigation.
Dubois' criminal history dating back to 2003 includes charges for DWI in Carlton and Cass counties; disorderly conduct, theft, careless driving, driving with no proof of insurance, underage consumption and driving after license cancellation in Crow Wing County and felony damage to property in Mille Lacs County

This is criminal!
Another child, another FASD victim. This child was highly likely heavily prenatally exposed to alcohol. If she gave this 18 month old alcohol once, she most likely has done this since the baby was born to put her to sleep. She most likely drank alcohol when pregnant to put the fetus to sleep. This is more common than we want to think.
New Mexico Mother Arrested for Giving Daughter Sippy Cup of Beer
Tuesday, September 30, 2008
Associated Press
OJO CALIENTE, N.M. — State police have arrested a woman who filled her 18-month-old daughter's sippy cup with beer and gave it to her in front of undercover narcotics agents, according to court records.
State police Lt. Juan Martinez said Monday that undercover agents with the Region III Narcotics Task Force were at 21-year-old Virginia Neel-Blaker's home in Ojo Caliente to buy drugs from her and her husband, James Blaker.
The agents saw her give her daughter a sip of beer from a can. Then she allegedly filled up the girl's sippy cup with beer and gave it to the toddler to get her to sleep, Martinez said.
"The trafficking case took a back seat to abuse of a child," Martinez said. "It was very disheartening for them to see that happening to a child."
Neel-Blaker has been charged with prostitution, child abuse, distribution of marijuana and two counts of conspiracy to traffic heroin.
James Blaker, 37, was charged with three counts of trafficking heroin, distribution of marijuana, child abuse and promoting prostitution.
The undercover agents had bought heroin and marijuana at the home on three separate occasions. Neel-Blaker also offered twice to have sex with them for $100, a search warrant said.
Martinez says the child was handed over to the state's Children, Youth and Families Department.
The couple is being held at the Rio Arriba County jail in Tierra Amarilla.

Another Violent Incident . Ask The Question!
In this tragic incident, the shooter fits the profile of brain damage from prenatal exposure to alcohol. Is he FASD? Did his mother drink when pregnant? Ask the question! I am not condoning at all lowering the punishment for the crime, I am advocating we find out how much our society is being effected by prenatal exposure to alcohol. (Clues that fit the profile are bolded)
ALGER, Wash. — "I kill for God. I listen to God," a man accused of a Washington shooting rampage earlier this week that left six people dead and four injured said at his court hearing Friday.
Isaac Zamora made the chilling comment twice at the brief hearing in Skagit County District Court while investigators wrapped up their work at eight crime scenes. The 28-year-old is being held on $5 million bail in the wake of Tuesday's rampage.
The attacks began near Zamora's mother's home near the tiny town of Alger, 70 miles north of Seattle, and continued on Interstate 5. After a high-speed police pursuit, Zamora surrendered at a sheriff's office in Mount Vernon, about 20 miles south of Alger.
Among the dead was Skagit County Deputy Sheriff Anne Jackson, who had responded to a call to check on Zamora.
Also killed were a man shot at the same location as Jackson; two male construction workers shot nearby; a 48-year-old woman found a few houses away; and a 64-year-old motorist killed along the highway near a rest stop, authorities said. Two people were wounded — one by stabbing — and two were wounded on the freeway, including a state trooper.
Zamora, who has a long record of run-ins with the law, had been admitted several times to hospitals for mental health treatment and attempted suicide several times, his friends and family said.
In the past five years, Zamora has been in and out of courtrooms, accused of malicious mischief, drug possession and theft, and was last released from jail about a month ago after serving six months for cocaine possession.
He faces six charges of first-degree murder and four charges of first-degree assault. The judge read each charge and the penalties, which carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. However, Rich Weyrich, the Skagit County prosecutor, said Zamora could still face the death penalty at a later point.

New York Murder - High Probability of FASD
Here is another case where we need to Ask the Question. This murderer fits the profile of heavy prenatal exposure to alcohol. Red flags of exhibition of FASD behaviors and secondary disabilities of FASD are in italics.
NEW YORK (FOX NEWS) — A young drifter who went with a college student to his Manhattan apartment smothered him with a pillowcase, then settled in to watch the grisly horror film "Saw" to celebrate the killing, NYPD sources told FOXNews.com.
Jeromie Cancel, whom police and family describe as homeless and mentally unstable, allegedly confessed to the heinous crime, shouting at reporters that he killed 19-year-old Kevin Pravia "'cause I wanted to."
"Ya'll got problems with that?" Cancel yelled, smirking and chuckling as he was led away in handcuffs after his Tuesday night arrest.
But the NYPD said the suspect's motive was still unclear.
He allegedly stuffed a bag into Pravia's mouth and wound a TV cord around his neck before suffocating him.
He then rummaged through Pravia's DVD collection, choosing and watching the violent film "Saw" while Pravia lay dead on a bed nearby, sources said.

Cancel's father, Jesus Soto, told FOX affiliate WNYW-TV that his son had stolen possessions from him in June, and he called police when Cancel showed up at his apartment Monday night, bragging and laughing about the crime.
"I'm so sorry," Soto said, choking back tears and shaking his head in disbelief. "I'm feeling myself the pain. This is not right. You don't take someone's life just like that."
The distraught dad told The New York Post that his son was "mentally imbalanced."
According to police, Cancel said Pravia approached him in New York's Union Square park around 6 a.m. Saturday looking for drugs, and the two went to Pravia's apartment a few blocks away.
No narcotics were found at the scene, police said. They told the Post they doubted drugs were involved.
From the New York Post
The suspect's father told The Post that he had been estranged from his son for about a dozen years before the young man made contact with him this summer.
Cancel stayed with Soto for about two weeks in June, until the young man ransacked the place, robbed his father and vanished.
The dad said he didn't see his son again until early yesterday.
"He said, 'I just killed someone,' " Soto said. "He had no remorse. He had a big smile.
"I called the cops, and when they pulled up . . . he just turned to the cops and told them he just killed someone."
Our society does not have a clue as to how deeply we are affected by mothers drinking alcohol when pregnant. If we were to completely stop any drinking while pregnant now, we still would have hundreds of thousands of brain damaged violent adolescents and adults in our society. It would take years for our society to see the difference.
