The mother and aunt of accused child killer De’Marquise Kareem Elkins, 17, were arrested Tuesday morning on felony charges of making false statements to police, Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering said.

Doering said they were arrested about 5 a.m.

De’Marquise Elkins and 14-year-old Dominique Lang are both charged with murder in the shooting death Thursday of 13-month-old Antonio Angel Santiago. Antonio was shot to death in a stroller that his mother Shelly West was pushing on a side street from their apartment facing Union Street in Brunswick’s south end. West said the older of her assailants demanded money before shooting her in the thigh and then her child in the head.

The mother, Karimah Aisha Elkins, 36, and aunt, Katrina Latrelle Elkins, 33, were booked into the Glynn County jail before 9 a.m., said Ron Corbett, undersheriff of the Glynn County Sheriff’s Office.

Where are the parade of posters that either insinuated or said outright that the child’s mother killed him or was somehow involved. They were kinda like the lynch Zimmerman mob.

Why isn’t this out there in the media like Travon Martin was? This is so horrible, but no mention of it anywhere. Where are the race baiters standing up for the white mother and child that were killed by these monstors? Makes me sick.

That neighborhood should have had a George Zimmerman watching out for women and children so they weren’t shot by filthy predators. Men used to be the protectors, until political correctness and the government masters forbade it.

Yea, lets change the constitution willy nilly because of emotions.
Talk like this does nobody any favor, and if it could be changed like you want it
we would have no guns to defend ourselves with. Or many other protections granted by the Constitution.
We would be no better than a banana republic. So get over your feeeeel good Anti-Constitution blabber!

When I initially read the headline, I thought perhaps the “mother, aunt” was one in the same person. I know some of these familial relationships among the fidelity challenged can be confusing, just as can last names. I might be my own grandpa (apologies to Ray Stevens).

Back in the 1980s the Army had a program called The Retraining Brigade. They took the people (not all of them) being released from the US Disciplinary Barracks at Ft. Leavenworth and offered to retrain them and put them back into the Army as Soldiers. I had some of them in my unit. What I found is that once a person has been in jail, they lose their fear of jail. You can threaten to punish them by putting them back in jail, but they don’t care. It doesn’t frighten them. They’ve already been to jail and lived through it. You can lock them up to keep them from committing further crimes, and that is a good reason to lock them up, but you can’t frighten them to keep them from committing crimes.

I guess you are unfamiliar with the concept of hyperbole?

I don’t actually want to change the Constitution, I was merely trying to express that these little monsters and the mother and aunt who were accomplices after the fact to this brutal murder deserve the worst, possible punishment.

Sounded very odd to me. Who takes out a life insurance policy on a baby?

Should be easy to check, though. The daughter may have an axe to grind; who knows.

After their arrests, both women gave police new information that helped lead investigators to a small saltwater pond where they found a handgun, Glynn County police Chief Matt Doering said. He said the gun was being tested to determine whether it could be matched to the slaying last week of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago.

“We arrested them last night and brought them back to headquarters, where we afforded them the opportunity to make additional statements,” Doering said Tuesday. “They did, and that information led us to other witnesses ... (who) led us to an area where the gun was disposed of.”

Parents are bombarded with attention from life insurance companies specializing in baby policies. And, if the mother is bipolar, she might be an easy mark for the argument of "help your child get a head start on future financial security while the cost is minimal" (with a whole life policy).

The reason why I say a bipolar person might be an easy mark is that they often feel guilty about their erratic and irresponsible behavior and how it has affected the ones they love.
