State seeks "do not resuscitate" order for baby of slain woman

August 24, 2005

SALT LAKE CITY - State attorneys have asked for a "do not resuscitate" order for a baby delivered after her mother was shot to death.

The girl, called Janie by medical staff at LDS Hospital, is in critical condition, suffers from brain damage and has tested positive for cocaine, opiates and barbiturates, the state attorneys told a child-welfare hearing Tuesday.

Third District Judge Elizabeth Lindsley awarded the state Division of Child and Family Services temporary custody of Janie and asked the lawyers for a formal written motion.

The mother, Darla M. Woundedhead, 30, who was seven months pregnant and had two other children born with drugs in their system, died Aug. 18 from a shotgun blast to the chest and upper abdomen at the Dream Inn.

1. That is heartbreaking. The child didn't
have a chance even before the shooting.

2. The fundies suck!
Why don't they let the child's family members have custody?

3. DCFS Deputy Director Duane Betournay said
"no family has expressed an interest to DCFS in taking custody of Janie."- from the article.


But, it went on to say "Marie Fox Belly, administrator for the tribe's child welfare office, told The Salt Lake Tribune that her agency filed a motion to intervene and to have the child eventually placed with a family. Fox Belly said two of Woundedhead's cousins have told her they are interested in taking the child."

The poor baby may be cerebrally brain dead (awake with no awareness) able to breath, have a heart beat and not much else.

Very sad.
