Rock Star v. Playboy Model: Who Won?
Danielle Lynn Brockman Charged With Neglect, Child Abuse After 2 Kids Left Alone Die in Fire
Lunchtime reading from the Village Voice Empire: Cops and firefighters arrived at a blazing house to find Brockman outside and her kids, ages two and three, trapped behind security bars that slowed rescuers. This wasn't police's first call to the home. Westword has the story.

No one fights dirtier or more brutally than blood; only family knows it’s own weaknesses, the exact placement of the heart. The tragedy is that one can still live with the force of hatred, feel infuriated that once you are born to another, that kinship lasts through life and death, immutable, unchanging, no matter how great the misdeed or betrayal. Blood cannot be denied, and perhaps that’s why we fight tooth and claw, because we cannot—being only human—put asunder what God has joined together.

It's terrible how there were opportunities for these children to be saved and no one got involved sooner, when she was leaving them home alone and they were venturing outside alone. No one wants to get involved anymore. No one cares. IF these babies had been taken away one of the many times they were found outside by neighbors or the police, maybe they would still be alive now and in a better home or with dad. Anywhere but with her would have been better. Having a baby of my own so close in age to hers, knowing what it is to be a mommy and the center of my child's world and knowing how much my girl needs my love and protection and how vulnerable a child that young is, I can't help but be furious and positively full of hate for this woman. I believe God is good and these beautiful babies are with him now, sorrounded in the love they didn't find on earth and that ultimate justice awaits this woman in the afterlife even if she doesn't suffer the full punishment of her selfish actions here in this world.

LIKE x 100!!!

I think that sometimes that people start off having kids with good intentions, but yes it's soul breaking.
-
I agree with you totally. I can't see her being the only one to blame for her actions. I know that she is the one who committed this crime. and it's horrible. This so called father was doing what while the mother of his children was probably in a deep depression from years of abuse. He could have saved those kids.
-
Well that's why I asked how you knew she was havin' a good time. the father of kids may have been so horribley cruel and mean to her that she was without the will to take care of them and be a good mother. like I said, something in this womans llife went wrong, she no longer had it in her to be a mom at all.

cherrybomb your heart is in the right place my friend.

Same here. For the same reason, two-story homes scare me, for fear of the stairway somehow being blocked. The house I am in now, there is a secondary escape plan (Climb through my son's window and onto the roof top over the porch.) But the last two story home I was in (with my ex.), there was no way. I was forever stressing over it. They have rope ladders that can be installed for such an emegency, but it was never on my ex's list of priorities... Luckily we never needed one though.
-
why in gods name if the neighbors have seen this child running around outside was someone not called from child services...I don't understand if police were involved at different times why they did not make that call...
-
I've always been leery of bars on windows in a house... I understand wanting to feel safe, but that just asks for something like that to happen...in any situation with fire....
-
I think he gave the interview right before or after the funeral for the children, so I'm sure it was a high emotion situation for him, but he seemed very composed during it. I haven't seen or read anything about hw long he was in Georgia. The mother's next court date is set for the 10th.
-
She was in court yesterday and in the news video I saw she was sobbing and hiding her face in court. I think more than anything the crying is for herself and the hiding is for her embarrassment and shame at being a failure at life. I don't know if she regrets it yet, but I hope that the deaths of her children, the deaths SHE caused, haunt her forever. I could not live with myself having the death of my child on my conscience.
-
um BARS ON THE WINDOW and the kids LOCKED IN ALONE. FIRE HAZARD is the first thing one thinks of, no? And the three officers were injured too. God bless them for trying to save these children. Sad story.
-
I may have responded a little bitchy, I was hurting like crazy last night, with PMS thrown in for fun. Makes an interesting combination.
-
It's true my comments came off as rude, and for that I apologize. I had gotten more than little bit heated to your other reply to me and both my comments reflected my anger. I don't believe that it's fair for someone to decide that just because someone decides that something works for them, that they should push those ideals on another person. I would love it if a holistic approach would be an effective one for me. I would love not to have to take the pills that make me ill and wreak havoc on my mind and body, but it's simply not an option for me. I was rude before; you gave me a tap and I responded with a punch, which was out of line and I am sorry for that. I may be a bit over-sensitive on the subject because I have been looked upon as some sort of addict when that's nowhere near the case. I don't get 'high' when I take my pills, there is no buzz that results. I take them only so they can allieviate a small amount of the pain I have suffered for more than three years, and make it so I might be able to chew enough to not lose any more weight. I was skinny to start with and the loss of anymore for me id devastating. I am sorry that I reacted the way I did last night, I was suffering more than was usual for me and I responded mostly to that which was wrong.
-
Not saying she didn't tell him that, but we also have to look at the statement of the father, it was to the media after all and I am sure a highly emotional moment. Kinda of curious how that conversation went... it is too sad, that the father wasn't able to get custody. Did you see anywhere about how long he had been working in GA and away from his kids...just curious.
-
I don't see her regretting what she did, only at getting caught, as there was no conscience there to start with.
-
From what I've read on this story, she was no where near the home when it all happened. I don't know if maybe this story got some of their facts wrong or what, but I saw an interview with the dad where he said she told him she left them and wasn't home when it happened. So I think she saw a way to rid herself of a burden and just purposely did all this to be free of her children. She should have given the dad custody if she didn't appreciate the great gift she was given.
-
Thank you. I did not mean at all that the kids deserved to die, but I do believe they were better off. They did not have a chance with this woman as their mother. This is one of the most outrageous cases of neglect that ended in horrible tragedy. There father was out of state working at the time this allhappened and had to come home to find his children had died because their mother couldn't be bothered to be a mother. Having a baby girl of my own that's almost 2, I can't imagine anything in the world being more important than her or anything that is so interesting or consuming that I would rather do that than be her mommy. It makes me sick that the beautiful lives of these children were wasted because they were born to this woman instead of someone better, someone that could really love them and give them the attention they needed. It's amiracle, knowing more facts from other news stories, that these precious babies even lated this long. The boy was found playing in traffic numerous times and thegirl in the home alone. I hope she regrets her horrible choices for the rest of her life.
-
yeah I am having a difficult time seeing this as an accident... ...and if she was outside...where were her keys? does she not have a key to her own house if she was coming home from somewhere? Did she run outside when the house was on fire and why didn't she grab the babies on her way out... just too many flags for me ~e see that it was too much smoke for them to get in, not a key issue
-
I don't believe in reading their comment that they would wish that on any child and I kinda understand the thoughts process on that though, but you are also right, there are plenty of people that have survived crappy parenting.... I know the whole thing just tears at everyones heart and we all only wish they had not been in that position to start with. I must admit I would like to take this waste of space out behind the shed with a shovel... dual purpose item
-
She also frequently left the children alone, this wasn't a first for it. The boy was found wandering outside countless times and was returned by neightbors and the police. She is a selfish person and her neglect cost these kids there lives. Even if she didn't intentionally start the fire, she is to blame. 100%. The father was trying to get sole custody but unfortunately the courts didnt work fast enough. These babies were failed.
-
The other thing about this is that the fire is thought to be intentional. I think she planned it and meant to murder the babies. That she left something burning somewhere in the house and the left and locked the kids in. Such an absolutely heartless act.
-
I also read on another site that the mother flat out admittied she had left them alone, she wasn't even home when it happened. The father of the children gave an interview and it is all so sad. He should have taken his kids a long time ago, gotten away from her and given them a better life. Now they don't get to have one at all.
-
I will never understand why God gives children to such undeserving and selfish people. It is soul breaking.
-
My god, I just can't win with you. I didn't say those children deserved to die. What I said is that they were better off. Can you imagine if they had survived what worse thing might have been ahead for them? More abuse and neglect and God only knows what else. I don't know what it is you are reading into my comments, but you're astonishingly rude and and classless and the name calling is really uncalled for.
-
The wind picks up a little and the face becomes more determined...
-
Because there's no justice in this world. :(
-
Better off dead than growing up with shitty parents? What a jackass you are. Thousands, maybe even millions of people grow up with shitty parents and still manage to grow up to be functional, well-balanced, healthy minded adults. No child should suffer that sort of death, and you're a dick for thinking they should. Go to hell, you're not even worth my replies.
-
Because I read about it
-
how do you even know that?
-
She's one of those horrible "moms" that puts her own selfishness before her children. Those kids shouldn't have died but they're probably better off that way with this POS mom. Something like this was going to happen sooner or later with a selfcentered woman as their mom
-
Because she left them home to go be a POS away from her responsibilities of being a mom. Pesky kids get in the way of a good time.
-
this is so sad and my heart is breaking right now.
-
I'm not convinced that she is the only villian here. The "poor grieving father" (sperm donor) is quoted as saying "legally, I don't care what happens to her anymore. It's quite obvious that he didn't care what happened to her legally or in any other matter in the first place. They live in Colorado. He lives in Georgia. So his kids are so important to him that he moved 5,000 miles away from them? She didn't get very far, she was in the yard. Was she going to work at five am? Why did she tell their father she was leaving them alone? No child support paid? No babysitting money? If I were the judge and the father had unpaid back support, I would give him the exact same sentence as whatever the mother gets.
-
what a lovely woman- she should get the chair- why was she outside and children inside?
-
Some fugly bitches should never be allowed to have kids in the first place.
-
Another story about a stupid bitch neglecting the kids she didn't deserve to have. Those poor babies. I can't help but think how frightening their last minutes were, wondering where the mommy who was supposed to protect them was. It's disgusting. Sometimes I think we should bring back the days of burning people at the stake. This bitch would be a prime candidate, IMO.
-
Really, what a downs syndrome looking bitch. Poor kids.
-
Shame we allow these type of people to add to gene pool.
