A Kansas City, Missouri, mom decapitated her six-year-old son and a dog, according to police.
“The community now knows some of the terrible details of the death of this 6-year-old child,” Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in a statement. “It takes our breath away.”
Tasha Haefs allegedly called 911 on Tuesday night telling authorities that she believed the devil was trying to attack her, news media reported. She denied having a mental illness before hanging up the phone.
Officers arrived at her home and found blood on the front steps and could hear a woman singing. The woman allegedly sang louder as they knocked on the door.
One officer saw what appeared to be a severed head inside the residence. Authorities went through the backdoor and found Haefs with blood on her legs and feet.
They found the body of the decapitated 6-year-old boy near the kitchen. They also found a decapitated dog in the basement and two knives.
“It’s difficult to imagine the grief for this boy’s family. For the child’s classmates. His friends. Neighbors. The first responders who went to this crime scene,” Baker added in her statement.
Haefs told police that the boy was her biological son and admitted she killed him. No other children were in the home.
She was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. Prosecutors requested she be held without bail.
“This child’s death is a call for something more,” Baker said. “Our community must heed the call. Law enforcement, prosecutors, public health officials, social service providers, all of our many partners must work together to address the violence. Strong collaborations are needed to lean into this difficult challenge, and better protect our community’s most vulnerable population, our kids.”
The elephant in the room that nobody wants to address is drugs. I bet money drugs is involved in this for sure. As a nation we won’t treat drug infiltration to our country as the threat that it is to our society and our freedoms! We’re too busy worrying about useless crap
You are spot on and I cannot understand why …when every community across our once great nation isn’t even acknowledging the fact that virtually all the problems can be traced to drug trafficking. Are they getting hush money? Because nothing else makes sense? You don’t even hear stories of concentrated efforts to go after these drug gangs! I would think it would be the lead story on the news networks every single night! Right after they told of the daily body count of young kids and gangs shooting/killing each other over territory, but not a word. Somebody’s getting rich for keeping their mouths shut, you can rest assured. And the depths of this horrendous problem gets deeper and deeper into the psyche of our nation.
It isn’t just the drugs. It is the destruction of Christian Values of Mother and Father raising children. This is a result of Anti-Christian, Liberal politics, that encourages immoral behavior, which leads to drugs, alcohol, sex, and single Moms raising kids in a bad environment. She became who she hangs out with.
I have to disagree with you. I am an atheist and I have never used any drugs, never been drunk and was pretty much a single father, even though I was married. My kids were never allowed to use drugs (and still are not now even though they are adults) and do not drink. Raising children correctly has NOTHING to do with religion. And I will point out, the huge amount of child abuse by priests. The vast majority of abortions are obtained by Christians. This is the result of NO ONE paying attention to her insanity.
That is you BUT YOU don’t speak for the millions of liberals who agree with abortion same sex marriage, fornication and greed for more money. I can’t speak for some who call themselves ”Christian” but take the stance of unbelievers of some issues. Your good deeds will never save your soul. btw the majority of abortions are black babies from unwed mothers, Jesus told Nicodemus ” You must be born again to enter heaven”. The real Christian knows and does the Word of God. We may think a thing or say something we shouldn’t but we we don’t plan ahead to slaughter our unborn child, or marry someone of the same sex. Not ‘ religion’ but a saving knowledge of who Jesus is.
I don’t know where you got you stats from but I can tell you that the vast majority of abortions ARE NOT for Christians. The only majority mentioned are young black women. I’m not saying there are no Christian women getting abortions but the majority, no way!!
Except that there are demons behind insanity………..
Why does everyone automatically think the only religion is Catholic. You used priests. In the true, Biblical Christianity, we are all priests. The Bible does not authorize one earthly man over another. Look at our schools. Since prayer, any reference to God and discipline were taken out, our school systems have largely become a rotting cesspool of entitled children with very little morals or ethics. People from broken homes make up more than 80% of all criminal activity. Your situation is one that does not happen often. Look at our nation today. A vast majority of liberals are agnostic or atheist and it shows.
I am a God fearing Christian and I agree with you sir 💯 percent I will say that I believe that God has the answers where I feel we have this gap is when we excepted knowledge he then gives a choice I truly wish you believed but you are right here this is a human problem congratulations on the outcome of your children I am blessed as well children and grandchildren no drugs alcohol whores or gangsters
Sir you can say there is no such thing as apple pie but I know it is real and The Lord is real also because I have tasted of his goodness and felt his sweetness on the inside
Love it, dead right. I’m a Christian, but you are trye to the words. Raised right and the children benefit. Thank you
Also, not to mention the newest Scandal of the Southern Baptists leaders brushing hundreds os cases of Sexual Abuse under the rug. The largest prostetant denomination in American, who contributes millions to Republican agendas like Pro-Life! C;mon!!! Lets be for real…….
Yes but if she still had done the same thing raised up in a right wing God fearing, law abiding white privilege home what would you say then???
I don’t honestly know what White Privilege is because I have worked my tail off for everything the Lord has blessed me with. My Jedi Father before me worked his way through pharmacy school with no help starting in 1960. He was a man’s man. Nothing was given to him but a long road of hard work. If there is a place of white privilege where only white can go for everything to be given to them just because they are white please tell me where it is.
Absolutely, it always comes back to people who live like animals, with no Godly morals or guidance. Even if they wouldn’t do this to a 6 year old, they would approve of abortion which also decapitates the head and destroys the child.
WOW, well, white privilege is not wether or not you worked hard. It’s the fact that your white skin gave you safety, and opportunities that people of color do not have. The communities of color have been red lined, systemically discriminated against in education, as well as policing, etc….. and denied many of the opportunities that you have had just due to your skin color. Just be real!!!! and Honest with yourself….. a 200 year head start grants you many privileges and opportunities that other have not had. Geez!
I agree.
So it’s ok to rape altar boys as a priest as long as you’re Christian. Gotcha.
Late Reply: Absolutely not, many in Catholic leadership circles are like modern day Pharisees. Those are the religious leaders who felt threatened by Jesus and the driving force behind His Crucifixion. I will also say, many who wear the word Christian, don’t understand how serious the commitment is supposed to be & therefore display tons of hypocrisy.
I am sorry you have been discouraged to discover how amazing Jesus is!
Please consider watching the series The Chosen. You might be surprised!
Absolutely not. Never said that. Let me give an illustration if you will. Some maniac could hurt a bunch of innocent people in the name of the Pittsburgh Steelers but that wouldn’t prove the Real Pittsburgh Steelers had anything to do with it. Please respond
You couldn’t have said this any better Aberjay. The foundation which we should stand, yet we have deviated from the ROCK. then, is our fall. The end is near, and we must repent.
I agree. Our Creator, God, designed us to be families. He told us that Marriage is supposed to be a permanent man/woman union, that mothers and fathers are to raise children together and teach them to follow His laws. That we are responsible to minister to the needs of each other. That we are to love God with all our hearts and love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Christianity isn’t the only system that recognizes the need for this type of family structure, but it’s the most well known and revered system here in America. There are many people experimenting with ‘alternate’ types of family structures and attempting to discredit the original design of one man, one woman raising children in a loving and committed relationship, but that just proves that the standard exists. Rebellion against that standard doesn’t often bring good results. This woman might have been better equipped to mother her children if she had experience this kind of family upbringing.
Absolutely, the liberal media focuses on race and p.c. to distract society but ignores the Word of God.
100% agree. Our government has taken the Bible, God, prayer, and The Pledge of Allegiance as well as discipline out of our schools. Most parents are afraid to discipline their children for fear of going to jail.
Our once beautiful country has gone to hell in a hand basket. I love the USA but I am also totally disgusted with her heads of state and heads of country.
If God could fix it, I wish he would.
Amen so right, that and Dr prescriptions medicine and drugs mixed, they cant solve their problem with a pill
What the hell I met a lot of addicts that don’t show up for work, steal and treat their families like crap, or are absent parents but I don’t know any that have decapitated their kids or dogs! That’s definitely a mental issue untreated, sometimes not taking your medicine can be more harmful than doing drugs! Usually not the case! But this is def not your usual case!
You may have met some but I deal with them. Meth is not the only drug out there. Meth and opioids are the only drugs the media focuses on. Contrary to popular belief psychotropic drugs still are in heavy use. When you see people sitting around trying to scratch their own eyeballs out, chewing off fingers, banging their heads into walls, screaming in assimilated languages, talking to unseen people and a laundry list of things while on or coming off of these drugs you will understand. Most of these people are addicts plain and simple. They are not mentally handicapped. While off of the drugs they are as sane as you or me.
Let’s go to the basics. Self choice, and Self responsibility.
I don’t care if she was on drugs. This is prime evidence of the necessity of the death penalty. n
Agreed 👍
I am a Christian and I have to disagree with the other Christians saying alternate lifestyles caused this. It causes other things, but these
extreme cases are mental illness. However, I believe she is still responsible because she must have had sane moments or knew enough to hide it to still have her kid. Very self centered people can sometimes go into Schizophrenia. And this part you won’t agree with but I believe the spirit of who we are is still informing our conscience and everyone no matter how ill does not need to allow a debased nature to take over.
Drugs likely had little to do with it. Women often murder kids, and no I’m not even talking about abortion.
While I understand your stance on drugs, using drug addiction as an excuse for decapitating her son is inexcusable. What she did is a crime so vile and violent, the only proper punishment is death. I am sick of hearing people use drug addiction as an excuse for murder. I do not care if someone is on drugs, that is a capital crime and should be treated as such.
No excuse, Mental illness, Whatever, still no excuse. Drag this piece of shit behind a pickup truck, Jasper style, until her head comes off !
Agreed 👍
What??? No celebrities calling for a ban on knives?
You beat me to that,,,, totally agree,,, 👍👍
Somehow, I believe this will all be Swept under the rug ! There is more to this then their letting out in the news. I’m certain that drugs were involved and if not then why did this insane woman even has custody of the child ? She had to be showing signs of mental illness or erratic behavior before this horrifying crime happened ! That poor child must have suffered horribly and would have known what was happening to him !! The dog was probably an after thought or something that she was taking her anger and frustration on.. Both the child and pet were innocent victims. That woman needs to be buried in a deep hole and forget about ! But, the way things seem to be going now – Some Liberal Judge will let her out as long as she promises to get help and be nice ! INSANITY IS RUNNING LOOSE ALL OVER THIS COUNTRY AND THE LIBERAL LEFT IS JUST IGNORING IT. . .
I live in Vermont. A few years ago we had an incident just as bad. A two- year- old girl was removed from her parents due to extreme abuse. Later the DCF decided the girl could be sent home. About a week later, the stepfather killed the girl by crushing her head with his bare hands. There was a big uproar about DCF but in the end, nothing was done. A young girl was murdered when under DCF “protection”.
OH it will start to show up soon…. Or else there will be a big Discussion on the View saying that it was someone else’s fault. . . . . Liberal INSANITY is running WILD with no signs of anyone COMING with a Big net !
That “someone else” will be Trump…
Drugs ,lack of God, and liberal insanity……has ruined our once wonderful country.
And a wide-open border for more and more drugs to pour through, especially fentanyl, deadly drug killing many Americans!! Let’s go Brandon ! UGH!
But the devil knows his time is short and I believe that’s why this evil is escalating! Look up,
Jesus is coming soon to end this madness and EVIL! Repent of your sins and call on His name!
Seek God while He may be found
If she was normal, she wouldn’t have done it. Almost everyone I’ve known who was mentally ill, denied being so. They have no idea how crazy they really are. That’s why she needs to be put somewhere where she can’t hurt anyone ever again.
Yeah, the grave.
I had no idea until reading these comments that no repubs commit crimes. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From the mouth of a Liberal Democrat. No doubt…what a stupid comment
This has nothing to do with politics! This has to do with people that are morally bankrupt and feel they are above all the rest of humanity! Leave politics out of this, I do not care how you vote honestly and I doubt her vote which ever side has a damn thing to do with killing her kid and dog! Wake up! She is evil, vile thing that deserves the same death just much slower. Drugs or not, I could careless!
I agree that the woman should get the death penalty. They will probably put a ban on knives now. If they think a knife killed that precious, innocent child and dog I’m going to have to ban all my spoons and forks in my house because they made me fat!!!! I wonder if that would help?!
She looks mixed race why isn’t it being labeled a hate crime? Oh that’s right it’s okay if it’s it the same race on race hate crime…..how dumb of me to think a child being murdered is just that a murder. Whether it’s her baby momma, baby daddy, baby nana, baby pappy.
You mofos are all ignorant buffoons. All of you right wing nut nuzzling dirt bags wouldn’t know God if he walked up and proclaimed directly to your face he was the creator of all things great and small and 100% of y’all would call him a liar and say trumplestiltskin is responsible for all of that. Just Stop It Already! 👉🏻🤮
Let me ax you a question. You stupid, retarded or just a plain imbecile? You the mofo mofo. Go collect more welfare.
Yepp..why does everything have to do with politics? Do yall even know what side she was on? Does it really matter!? She decapitated her son and dog…obviously she lost the fight with the devil..weather it was drugs or a mental breakdown..or if she was involved in the wrong side of witchcraft..ot doesn’t matter ..that child is dead and yall want to bring in politics..wtf is wrong with yall…
YALL HEATHER… IT IS ALL BASED ON POLITICS BECAUSE POLITICS RULES AND CONTROLS YOUR LIFE…. GROW UP…. YALL HAD BETTER START KNOWING HOW THIS IS ABLE TO HAPPEN AND IT IS BECAUSE OF POLITICS… YALL… SO GET YALL OVER TO THE LIBRARY AND START GETTING AN EDUCATION IF YALL WANT ANYTHING TO CHANGE OR SHUT YALL UP AND READ ABOUT MANY MORE CASES OF INNOCENT DEATHS THAT ARE ALLOWED BECAUSE YALL DON’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT….. YALL.
Amen Dee so true
Okay, yes drugs could be an issue. But people aren’t taking into consideration the pressure EVERYONE is feeling because of all the bull crap that is being pushed on use. With rising prices, MORE and higher taxation, “mandates”, constant bombardment of bill collectors, phone calls and texts, emails from anyone who feels the right to hound you, everything has gone stark raving crazy over the past several years. THAT is a big reason why we are going to see a up tick in people losing their shit. Mental illness or not…, drugs, alcohol OR not…. PEOPLE ARE FEELING THE PRESSURES and everyone reacts differently. NO this is not a good reasons n to kill your family or pets… however it may be what pushed her over the edge at this time. KEEP PUSHING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC and we will see more and more if this. Eventually it will be a bigger issue than anyone can imagine. Just because we are the USA doesn’t mean we aren’t going down the shitter. As long as they keep pushing people with the constant bull … it’s only going to get worse.
That’s their plan
If we don’t speak out against these atrocities, the more people are scared to voice their concerns because fear of retaliation the pendulum will continue to swing off balance to the evil side.
I agree Bindi.This is an extremely sad tragedy. People judge an label not knowing what led up to this mother to snap an take the life of her son an pet in such a heinous act. People don’t care for others as they did. There’s no kindness. The pressures of life an everyday living are at the extreme. The resources are just not there as they should be. Be a support system for others who are in need. The United States is going down an enormous sink hole an I for one is not ready to give up an give in. Tragedies an lives being taken shouldn’t be a normal.
I cannot even read some of these comments without throwing up. Reading these comments says alot. SMH
What will you blame it on if you’d find this woman has zero opinion on politics? Drugs? There are millions of drug addicts that don’t decapitate their children. The woman most likely has a complete psychotic break from reality and believed she was saving, the ones she loved the most, from evil. You don’t realize that even you could have a disconnect from reality. Many factors are involved in a breakdown such as stress. Have some empathy. How would YOU feel if you lost your mind then realized you had committed such an atrocity. You have no idea what this woman’s state of mind was. Outlaw knives? Like your guns have been outlawed? Stop using such a horrific tragedy to stand on your false platform believing you are better than everything God has created. Never forget.. but for the grave of God, there go YOU!
I feel so bad for the child and the rest of the family. I also hate it for the dog as well. Luckily that child will live on in innocence in the bosom of God. Why when Christianity is mentioned everyone assumes Catholic? The providence and teachings of God and Christ and our faith and obedience to that teaching as well as the works we are to do for our fellow man is what constitutes being a Christian. That being said, religion is a buzz word anymore and Christian is used too loosely. Whether a person is raised in God or not they are still human and can still do good or terrible things either way. My hope is that as raising my kids up in the fear and admonition of the Lord and the same in my wife and I as their parents they will think about their actions before doing them. Whether it be using drugs or a number of other decisions this woman had to make before she did this.
They get it from the movies it’s always a priest versus evil. Ok here’s why we bring up politics, even if she doesn’t care or never votes, it is the politics of a nation that raises the people. WHO USED politics to raise up hatred towards Jesus? the men in charge who loved their high position [ Jesus told them who their true father is]. . Who changed the laws to make homosexuality accepted even encouraged? who made it legal to have an abortion? who took prayer out of school? politics not the church is destroying society since the 60’s. BLM promotes rioting, looting, destruction of public property, about 29 innocent people killed in their demonstrations, meanwhile they have many millions and living in mansions due to ”donations”. They should have been jailed from the start ‘protesting the death of an ex con drug addict” meanwhile white 3 y o child Victoria Rose Smith beaten to death by her black foster mother, where was the media’s outrage?
Wow! Everything you said, Marilyn, was spot on!
Yepp..why does everything have to do with politics? Do yall even know what side she was on? Does it really matter!? She decapitated her son and dog…obviously she lost the fight with the devil..weather it was drugs or a mental breakdown..or if she was involved in the wrong side of witchcraft..ot doesn’t matter ..that child is dead and yall want to bring in politics..wtf is wrong with yall…
I agree with this.^ Don’t make a tragedy about yourself by claiming your personal complaints about the state of the country have an involvement. Everyone is stressed. That’s great. We get that. But that little girl, is dead. You’re still breathing. Have some respect.
She should be decapitated!🤬
I am tired of everything being made an excuse. No matter what the circumstance, everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions. We all make choices everyday. However when it comes to stuff like this some bleeding heart liberal, therapist or expert claims mental illness or drugs. Lawyers back them and up and spin everything to make the perp the victim. The perp is coached to go along or dreams it up themselves. When she woke up she probably made 100 choices on what to do in her normal little life. Then she had no choice and someone made her do it against her will. Hogwash! She should be decapitated and thrown into a hole. Sounds harsh to some of you. That innocent little boy trusted her with his care and when she was doing this he probably wondered what he had done and begged and cried to his mother. The little dog as well had no idea. Sick.
ARE YOU REALLY SURPRISED? WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO KILL BABIES BEFORE THEY CAN SPEAK…. WHEN THEY ARE ANGRY WITH PEOPLE WHON WANT TO SAVE EVERY HUMAN LIFE.. AND THEN YOU SEE THE RESULTS OF THE EVIL ALLOWED IN THIS COUNTRY… OF COURSE YOU WILL SEE A LOT MORE CHILDREN BEING MURDERED.. YOU WILL ALSO SEE ALOT OF SENIORS BEING MURDERED TO. JUST LOOK TO OUR NORTH PEOPLE.. IN CANADA THEY NOW APPROVE OF VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA AND JUST ALLOWED A MAN OF 40 YEARS OLD TO KILL HIMSELF BECAUSE HE WAS DEPRESSED OVER HIS HEARING LOSS…. AND IF THAT DOESN’T SHOCK YOU TRUDEAU HAS NOW APPROVED VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA BY CHOICE FOR CHILDREN AGES 1 TO 12… YES READ THAT CORRECTLY… AGES 1 THROUGH 12 CAN NOW DECIDE TO DIE AND IT WILL BE SO. THIS IS IN CANADA PEOPLE… AND IT WILL BE HERE SOONER THAN YOU THINK. PRAY PEOPLE PRAY… IT WON’T BE LONG NOW AND EVERY KNEE WILL BOW… JESUS IS COMING VERY SOON.
Amen!!!
The devil can make his form anyway he choses.
It’s upsetting for people to put a name on it as Catholic, Methodist, Atheist. Why do we judge when we are not sent to earth for that. Why can’t people say something, without being judged. Who gave you the power to judge others thinking. Weather she has a mental illness, on drugs or straight up just did it. She was wrong and needs to be accountable for her actions. All this contra verses over this is making the devil happy! He has accomplished what he sit out to do. Turn us all against one another.
Wether drugs was used or not, look at all the crimes against children today than decades ago
. We should psych test people before they have kids. Yes it’s America but come on READ what’s happening. Some people just shouldn’t be allowed to have children. Oldest cop-out in the book. The Devil is after me. ( REALLY). Why you. Listen I’ve had depression my entire life. Genetics. I have 7 children I take 12 pills a day . I would die for my children not hurt them. So I call BS. People hurt people. Because that’s where we are at in society. Read this crap. It’s everyday. If people want to hurt people hurt yourself not innocent children. I’m ashamed sometimes of our county. We have the highest prison population in the world . This person should of never been allowed children
The DEMON-CRATS made it official at their last convention…. they kicked GOD out of this country. Satan is now in charge…. and you should have no doubt about that. Everything on the Democratic agenda is LOUD AND CLEAR….. THEY DON’T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH GOD. THEY HAVE EVEN NAMED THEIR BILLS IN CONGRESS AS “BILL NUMBER HB666” THIS IS NO JOKE…. IT IS FOR REAL AND NO ONE… NOT EVEN THE REPUBLICANS RAISED ANY OBJECTIONS…. SATAN IS SITTING HEAVY ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE TOO….. PEOPLE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE BEING FOOLED! THE BIBLE HAS FORETOLD OF THIS TIME…. REMEBER THE WORDS FROM GOD HIMSELF….. “I TELL YOU THESE THINGS WILL HAPPEN SO YOU WILL KNOW I AM GOD”. PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE! IT’S NOT TOO LONG NOW!
AMEN!!!!
The comments in this feed are heartbreaking. A relationship with Christ is far different than religion. Religion doesn’t make you a Christian. The heart and soul make a Christian, but never a perfect person.
This must be the new National Enquirer
