They, the NYPD, do tend to act callous at times, that’s why they are sued so often. Very sad situation for all involved.

@ Well Well

You are apparently Bajan but a New York resident. Brooklyn in New York has a large population of Bajans, guess you’re one of them. The NYPD may at times be callous and are often sued but the incident focused is clearly domestic.

No, I’m not a New Yorker and will not meet you after hours. Just adding some commedy. I’m not totally militant, capable of producing laughter.

That would be the state of mind of the child’s mother………..NYPD did not notify the next of kin, something that should have been done before we all knew about the whole sad affair………..I have been following since it broke.

Look…………..old home town NY.

“Rosette Samuel, forty-three a New York City Police officer”
Middle age new mother working in a shift work job

“Mr. Peters lived with his parents”
Living alone with an infant

“Mr. Peters lived with his parents”
Living apart from the one who impregnated her.

“Dason Peters was packed and booked to travel to his native Guyana”
The one who impregnated her and does not live with her is taking a holiday, while she does what? Go to a demanding job, and look after an infant?

“His mother said that he was her best-friend and her entire world
Was there enough left of him to share with a woman and child?

I smell enormous stress.

She has a gun.

She knows how to use a gun.
.

Sorry………..meant to type Pat.

Simple Simon
This simplicity seem to beyond me; are you saying that men who live with their mothers should have girl friends who own a gun and know how to use it. Are you saying that stress would make you do anything. Or are you saying going on a trip could be a deadly choice. What the hell are you saying!

She may have been suffering from postpartum depression

Postpartum depression symptoms may include:

Loss of appetite
Insomnia
Intense irritability and anger
Overwhelming fatigue
Loss of interest in sex
Lack of joy in life
Feelings of shame, guilt or inadequacy
Severe mood swings
Difficulty bonding with your baby
Withdrawal from family and friends
Thoughts of harming yourself or your baby

Untreated, postpartum depression may last for many months or longer.

Because the NYPD is well aware of this threat, in my opinion, mandatory treatment and counseling should be part and parcel of their medical insurance package before a new mother is allowed to return to such a high stress job………………..watching to see how this plays out.

“pray you strength” not prey, that was a Freudian slip related to the news media experience that you are destined to encounter in the coming months

How does one deal with it? As a matter of fact how does one identify it?

Piece……………….in trying to answer your two questions, both are very difficult. It is known that women are emotional creatures due to severe and erratic hormonal changes before, during and after pregnancies…………you may see a change in personality, but you have to remember women are also stronger emotionally and are better able to hide emotional problems. Some would cry, some would just be stronger and chalk up what they are feeling to life experiences, some would just blackout and go on murderous rampages………it’s a slippery slope…………I know of one female, quite close to me who suffered postpartum blues for 10 years after the birth of her last child,,,,,,,,,,luckily for her she recognized it for what it was and managed to heal herself without the help of therapy, these emotional problems however do leave scars…….they are still conducting studies in these areas.

Women don’t have to be bare foot, pregnanct and in the kitchen. They certainly should NOT be police officers.

Should have read……………some of the best police officers in NYC are females.

Post-Partum depression is indeed serious but which BU doctor examined her? Let the facts come out before rushing to diagnosis and treatment.

I thought that 33 year old men living with Mum & Dad was a trait shared only by Bajan & Italian men but looks like this is widespread in the Caribbean. His living at his parents’ home also underscores a lack of commitment perhaps there is more in the mortar than the pestle.

@ Sargeant

No BU doctor examined her, kind sir, we are all speculating based on our experiences and positing perspectives for consideration.

That, kind sir, is the premise upon which a blog is based.

You too make a posit as per the nature of a 33 year old man living with his parents is a cardinal sin.

What if I countered with the following statements and interwove fact with supposition

1. The fact that they were living at two different venues coupled with my unfounded supposition that they seemed to be having marital problems that forced them to live separately
2. The fact that living in NYC at her rented apt, with her child, would have incurred a monthly expense coupled with my supposition that after his separation from her, his economic situation did not permit him to rent expensive, not readily available apartment in proximity to his child or place of work
3. The fact that the father was able to access his child and was in a practice of taking child from mother to other venue suggest that there was an amenable relationship re alternate parent custody. My supposition is that such visitation was not one enforced by a legal court
4. The fact that he had a ticket for travel for his child suggest that one of them had applied for and signed the passport application for and that he was in possession of a valid travel document. My supposition is that since she was not part of the traveling unit that this was a major trigger to the incident

The point kind sir is that you seem to think that a man removing himself from a stressful environment to a place where his family was able to provide care for his child, is considered, “a lack of commitment”

If the man had never visited the child he would surely have incurred you ire and been called a cur and village ram, like all them bajan men who father children, and don’t support them

None of us even know the number of times she in her unbalanced state threatened to kill him and/or the child before this yet you get on this righteous horse about commitment.

Maybe, just maybe, that was what was in the mortar, you think?

At David[BU] it is time to start banning nincompoops and twits from this site, start with me.

@Piece uh…etc
At David[BU] it is time to start banning nincompoops and twits from this site, start with me.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Couldn’t agree more let me add twats to that list but we must be in Buhbados there is always something or someone to be banned, still trying to get the ban on ZR drivers for doing anything enforced.

Which comment mashed yuh corns? Did you take offence at the “Doctor” remark or the superannuated teenager living at home? Was it the mortar and pestle viz. a simple reminder that we can speculate all we like but we don’t know what went on between the two people? The law agencies always advise that the most difficult calls are the domestic ones as the situation can be volatile and can spin quickly out of control, thus I will refrain from flights of fancy about their domestic arrangements or any possible financial hardship/arrangement or how involved he was with their child or how many times she threaten to Bobbitize him.

To paraphrase Rumsfeld “we don’t know what we don’t know”

Personally I enjoy many of your comments and I love the spectacle of two men in their dotage (Bushy) competing for the charms of the lady gardener, not that wunnah have any capability of executing any action anyhow but Lotharios on paper always turn out to be paling cocks.

David leh muh know when yuh impose de ban on yours truly…..………

Dale Marshall too, should be persecuted and convicted. “It could have happened to anybody” he said. Should not have happened, building on that land should not have been allowed.
