Re: Yvette Craddock - criminal investigation (child's death)

I am posting this on behalf of you, your loved ones and anyone else who has ever been wrongly accused of a criminal act.

I am personally writing this on the behalf of someone I know who has multiple sclerosis and is in dire need of ANY assistance. Her name is Yvette Craddock and her MS symptoms are severe. Again, her name is Yvette Craddock and here is her story:

Yvette is a divorcee and is living on social security. Before diagnosis, she was
married and a fulltime teacher assistant at Denver Public Schools until she
experienced vision problems. Even after her diagnosis, she worked fulltime, but
her symptoms got the best of her and before long, she was no longer able to work
and soon after, her marriage ended.
Because of Yvette's gentle nature, she
decided to help a friend by agreeing to baby sit an infant child. When the
mother of the child dropped the child off at Yvette's apartment, the mother
explained that the child was sick and that she (the mother) had given the child
some cough medicine. Moments after the mother left the child in Yvette's care,
the child began coughing. Yvette went to attend to him when she noticed that he
wasn't breathing. Yvette immediately called 911 and because there was a police
officer already in the area, the officer began to assist. Later, the child was
pronounced dead.

Because of limited finances, Yvette and her family were unable to hire a prominent attorney and investigator, and ultimately, Yvette was charged and arrested due to the child's death.
Yvette Craddock is out on bail, but I believe she has a court date set for this month or next month in November.

Now I know this is hearsay about what one of the judges declared, but I feel it necessary to bring it to your attention what one of the judges said. She said, and I quote, had she known the inaccuracies and trivialness of the case, she said there would have been no way she would have allowed it in her court. In my opinion, it was an indication that there were some problems with the case brought against Yvette Craddock. You see, there is a report that social services had been called to the home before. The report does NOT say to Yvette Craddock's home, but to the child's home.

The Colorado Department of Human Services also is investigating the circumstances of Rashad's death because his home had been visited by social workers before his death.

Rashad Maxey Died December 7, 2007 (age 8 ½ months) Arapahoe County No violations found
Rashad Maxey died of injuries "consistent with intentional trauma to the head." The Arapahoe County Department of Human Services report faulted Maxey's babysitter, Yvette Craddock. The CDHS review notes one prior referral involving Maxey's family, prior to his birth. CDHS found no violations in regard to the handling of this case.

The most troubling is that the Department of Human Services state:
…the violations listed require corrective action by the counties involved, regardless of whether they contest the validity of the cited violation.
Does this mean that just because CDHS has been to the child's home before, but the criminal investigation remains because the child died while at Yvette's Craddock's home???

Nevertheless, Yvette Craddock has been searching for ways to not only pay for her legal fees but also ways to accumulate funds to clear her name. Prior to this, Yvette Craddock did not have any criminal record and the only thing that she has ever done wrong, was agreeing to help someone and that should not be a crime!

Please do all you can to assist Ms. Craddock, as I believe that due to her financial circumstances, she was unable to afford an attorney who would thoroughly investigate the history of the parent's of the child. (It is all over the internet, so it wouldn’t take a lot of time or money to search for some truth.)

Please do all you can to help Ms. Craddock by contacting your local District Attorney's Office and tell them that you want this injustice stopped! Tell them that you are not pleased that your tax dollars are being wasted trying an innocent woman. She is a victim! Is it because she's Black? Or, is it because she's poor and Black?

Please do all you can to assist Ms. Craddock by telling anyone and EVERYONE you know.
