Senseless Child Deaths in Livermore

Senseless Child Deaths in Livermore

Livermore Police are investigating two separate incidents where two mothers are being accused of murdering a two year old and an infant. The two year old was said to have been abused for sometime by the mother Mary Katherine Downing, who admitted to the abuse. Mary Downing called the police a little after midnight when her two year old was unresponsive. The girl was then taken to Children’s Hospital in Oakland where she was pronounced brain dead. She is expected to be off life support tonight which is so sad that an innocent child was put through such trauma.
In the second investigation with the two month old infant boy, who was found unconscious in a home, later died at Valley Care Medical Center in Pleasanton. The infant’s mother, Jessica Adams, was arrested on a parole violation for being under the influence of drugs. The cause of the boy’s death has not yet been determined do to a pending autopsy, but I am sure this mother also had something to do with his death.
As a mother of two I think it is so horrible how any mother would even think of doing something like this to their own children. I hope both mother’s are proven guilty and sentenced to the full extent of the law. If mothers are not ready to be parents, they have options to help them if they decide they do not want to take responsibility. I hope mothers can make better choices and become loving parents that all children need. I know I love my beautiful children.
