Man 'smashed his newborn daughter's skull with a cinder block'

A father allegedly killed his baby daughter with a cinder block just hours after she was born - because he and the little girl's mother couldn't afford to have another child.

Christopher Fitzpatrick, 20, allegedly told his girlfriend, Jennifer Barrise, 'I just want to get rid of it' as she started having contractions while they were out shopping near their home in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania. Both have now been charged with criminal homicide after police found their daughter's tiny body buried in woodland near Fitzpatrick's workplace.

Barrise, 28, already has five little boys, all aged under nine. The youngest, Christopher - her first child with Fitzpatrick - was born just a year ago in Franklin, New Jersey, where the couple used to live.

Now the couple are both being held at Wayne County Jail on murder charges. Police claim Barrise knew Fitzpatrick planned to kill their baby.

***

When Barrise had the baby, the little girl landed on the floor - and neither of her parents touched her as she lay crying, the affidavit claims.

According to police, Fitzpatrick drove his girlfriend, daughter and sister back to their home, but later picked up the baby and drove to M n D Lawn Care, where he worked.

There he allegedly picked up a cinder block and dropped it twice on his daughter's head, smashing her skull. Then he buried her tiny body beneath the concrete block and drove home.

That is truly nauseating. It really is. It makes my skin crawl. I could do that to a cockroach, I can’t possibly do it to a hamster. I guess I’m a specist.

[NativeSon]

I am not ashamed or embarrassed to say that when I read the story, here in my office, I wept.

All I want to do now is go home and hold my Wife and Baby.

[DJ MacWoW]

Hasn’t this scum ever heard of adoption?

Not really. Abortion is pushed as the answer. I'm sure that he saw this as being no different.

Someone should drop a cinder block on this guy’s _ _ _ _.
He can’t seem to figure out how to stop having babies.

Lake Wallenpaupack for us. Lived there every summer for thirty years. I then lived there year round and flew in and out of Cherry Ridge. What I saw from the locals in the non summer months just amazed me. I stopped at a roadside diner for a lunch one day and the guy running the place, cooking, cashier, and all.........Had cut his thumb off that morning, at the palm while running a saw rig. He had not yet been to the doctor because he was waiting for one of his family members who was "not wanted by the police" to take him to the hospital.

Meth will do strange things to the mind.

I take back my earlier post. This is what he told the family: They pressed Mr. Fitzpatrick, in which he replied he had dropped the baby off at a hospital for safe haven.

>> Someone should drop a cinder block on this guy’s _ _ _ _.

Sounds like a good start.

I can also think of about fifty ways to make him stop having kids.
Oh, and coincidentally, breathing.

Smash his skull with a Concrete block!

This guy and his concubine were well aware of the options open to them, but murder just seemed more in keeping with their values.

I think I’m going to throw up.

I would have fought you for her. . .

"This guy and his concubine were well aware of the options open to them, but murder just seemed more in keeping with their values"

Perfectly captured dynamics of the Pocono native culture. I'm not branding them all by any means, but the place can be a combination of Deliverance, The Hills Have Eyes, Escanaba in Da Moonlight, and Caligula.

Base instincts of fear, paranoia, random gunfire, binge drinking, hunting as needed, and hillbilly horn-dog con-artists.

You are correct. This is face of the Brave New Liberal World.

He’s a pretty little bitch too. He’ll be very popular in the joint.
