ashley is a very sweet girl and she should to time for not saying anything sooner. But I'm sure she was scared and didnt know what to do. As a mother i just can never really understand why someone could ever ever do that to a baby!

Judged:

1

Ashley had the choice to call 911, she did not. Therefore she is just as guilty as the boyfriend. Everyone has a choice, she made the wrong one, therefore she is guilty and should have to pay.

ashley is a great person and i cannot understand how all this happened. it was to my understanding that she knew nothing about all of this. i have talked to her since she has been arrested. she does not deserve to be treated the same as john. he is a monster and was abusive to her and her children. that poor girl was pretty much held captive by him, she was not in control of any of this.

ASHLEY WAS NICE. I'M NOT SURE WHEN SHE WAS SCARED THOUGH BETWEEN PLAYING X-BOX WITH THAT CUTE LITTLE SCREEN NAME PINK SOMETHING OR OTHER WHEN SHE WAS DOING HER MYSPACE PAGE MAKING COMMENTS ABOUT HER BOYFRIEND BEING HOT, WHICH BY THE WAY GOOD WORK ON TRYING TO ERASE THAT OFF HER BOYFRIENDS MYSPACE. WHEN THEY WERE INCARCERATED AND NEITHER ONE COULD HAVE LOGGED ON. BUT TECHNOLOGY, AHHHH YOU HAVE TO LOVE IT THERE ARE PRINT OUTS OF THAT BEFORE WHOEVER TRIED TO ERASE IT. OR MAYBE WHEN SHE MADE HER TRIPS TO MI. IN BETWEEN ALL THAT WHEN WAS SHE AFRAID? HER OWN FATHER SAID SHE CALLED THE POLICE IN INDIANA, WHY THEN DIDN'T SHE TELL THEM THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT KNOW FOR SURE WHAT HAPPENED, GOD, THE TWO AND THE CHILD. AFTER THAT PURE SPECULATION HE SAID/SHE SAID.SHESAID/HE SAID.

POW'S are held captive, she wasn't. you didn't know her to well. she was left alone plenty of times. had a job all by her self, went places all by herself. gave birth couldnt she tell hospital staff. oh because she was afraid. yea i'm not buying that.take it from a former person that has "really" been abused. she was where she was by her own choice people treat us how we allow them to treat us she could have left at any time. the trips to michigan. indiana has plenty of places to go for help she could have left when her boyfriend went to work 3rd shift! the kids were obviously with her why not take off to anywhere?she is where she is because she commited a crime one that alot of folks are not wanting to hold her accountable for. her actions caused her to be where she is, not her boyfriends not the neighbors and not anyone but her. his actions caused him to be where he is. they had free choice and they chose the wrong thing to do the two of them.

"she could have left when her boyfriend went to work 3rd shift! the kids were obviously with her why not take off to anywhere?"

What was she gonna do, put the kids on the bike? The bike that John rode to get diapers and stuff for the kids cause he was so wonderful?

So he worked 3rd shift huh?

Geez judgenot you sure do know alot about people who were on the run and hiding from the law. Did you know about the dead child too and now you try to cover up your own knowlege by blaming the girlfriend?

Maybe you know you should have called the cops and didn't so now you shift the blame away from you by shifting it away from your "close family"?

You were abused too?
That explains alot. I heard Johns siblings were all abused. Hope you all don't act like him. Didn't he have a young girl before ash too? Like 11 or something? Didn't he go to prison for that? She could have left anytime she wanted to too, right? I mean don't all 11 year olds think for themselves and tell the men who have sex with them what they will do and when they will leave ? SICK! SICK! SICK!
John had a pattern. He just was smart enough to get one of legal age that he could control so she couldn't put him in prison like the other kid did. or so he thought. he's a rotten bastard and will get what he has coming to him. id like to feel sorry but i cant because of the way they all defend him. let god sort it out.

Ashley was performing cpr on her son,so I heard reading papers ,And John was asked to call 911 several times by her ,so why didnt he?Sounds like someone had something to hide himself.Why is it that its the mothers responiblity only and not the fathers also,so I would say that killed his son twice by not calling.

Mother of two.my prayers go out the family.

Or...If the Indiana judge would have gave him more than 1 1/2 years in prison for molesting a 11-12 year old for 3 years that he took across state lines, he may have never met Ashley. The sentencing judge in his sexual misconduct with a minor, should be just as culpable for John even having been on the streets imo.

YEP!

That is exactly what I was talking about. He took a minor child (11-12 he was almost 30) across state lines. Screwed her for 3 years before being charged. He did only 1 1/2 years in prison. He learned if he was going to get someone to control and manipulate, she should be young, impressionable and LEGAL. He found Ashley.

He should STILL be in prison for his first "girlfriend" and he never would have met Ashley.

He is a sick mutha and I hope Michigan justice is more severe than Indiana's was on his azx

YOU ASSUME TOO MUCH. WHEN DID I SAY I WAS RELATED TO HIM. LOOK UP THAT WORD HIDING. DID YOU EVER THINK I MAY HAVE WORKED WITH HIM?!THINK BEFORE YOU TYPE. HIDING HE WAS NOT DOING NOT FROM ME. WHY WOULD HE HIDE FROM ME HE WAS JUST A CO-WORKER ALL THE EMPLOYEES AT WALMART KNEW SHE AND HIM WORKED THERE.I'M SURE THEY WILL BOTH AND THAT'S BOTH WILL GET WHAT THEY DESERVE AND IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING. ITS TOO BAD THEY WERENT HELD DOWN HERE. A LITTLE ALLEN COUNTY JAIL JUSTICE WOULD HAVE SERVED THEM RIGHT. WHAT DOES HIS FAMILY HAVE TO DO WITH THE CRIME THEY COMMITED? SO HIS FAMILY HAS CONFIRMED TO YOU THAT THEY WERE ABUSED OR IS THAT YOU SPREADING IDLE GOSSIP. TELL THE TRUTH IF YOU CAN YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ANY OF THEM DID YOU. YOU ARE SPITEFUL AND HATEFUL AND YOU PUT HER BLAME ON THEM. SHE IS WHERE SHE'S AT BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU TRY TO PUT HER RESPONSIBILITY ON OTHER PEOPLE. IT WILL NEVER BE HER FAULT ONLY OTHERS. THEY WERE THE ONLY TWO IN THAT HOUSE. NOT ANYONE ELSE. SO SHIFTING THE BLAME TO HIS FAMILY BECAUSE YOU NEED TO BLAME EVERYONE BUT THE MOTHER, ITS APPALLING. WE MUST TEACH OUR KIDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS!!!! OH AND YEA SHE COULD HAVE CALLED THE POLICE WHEN HE WAS WORKING, AND IF THAT MEANT GETTING ON A BIKE AND TAKING OFF THEN YES WHEN IT COMES TO THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILDREN. SHE WASN'T IMMOBILE FOR GOD'S SAKE. SHE WORKED AT WALMART WHY DIDN'T SHE HAVE HER NEW FOUND FRIENDS HELP HER.

Allen County Jail Justice? Is that the same justice that sentences a baby raper to only 1 1/2 years in prison and lets him, JOHN WILLIAM GONZALES, out in only 10 months? That kind of Allen County Justice? That's pretty laughable.

The rest of your post makes absolutely no sense, like much of what you write, except the last line. Apparently she did talk to some new found friends and that is why they found baby Braylon, jacka#s.

Well geez, for only being a "co-worker" In Ft. Wayne Indiana, you sure seem to know an awful lot about who was in a house in Michigan when a child died. You also seem to be envious of Ashley. Are you jealous of her? What makes you assume that Ashley has never taken blame for anything, "only others"? You lash out like you hate her for her past or something.

A simple co-worker wouldn't know THAT much about her. She was born and raised in another state. If you were just a co-worker, you wouldn't know jack $hit about her, now would you?

JOHN WILLIAM GONZALES IS A BABY RAPER AND A CHILD KILLER!! You don't gotta like it.

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Leo

There's an erratic quality to the day, thanks to the Full Moon in emotional Cancer, combined with a lunar eclipse. Loved ones are likely to behave in ways you hadn't counted on. The only way to cope with this is to be as flexible as possible. Someone might change an arrangement at the eleventh hour so you have to think on your feet, or others may be determined to do their own thing even though it doesn't suit you. Get any arguments out of the way quickly so you can enjoy your New Year's Eve celebrations with a glad heart.
