    You are a worthless piece of crap and you should be put to death the same way that you murdered your child.

    This is all lies. The police and press doesn’t even know the truth about the murder. That david is taking the rap for someone else. It’s sad.

    Joe,

    Please explain more. What evidence do you have? Were you there?

    How can someone experiencing the torture and grief of a tragic incident and loss of their child, be found guilty by the press before the facts have all been uncovered. This is not a movie or tv sitcom this is real life. A policeman is not a judge or jury, he merely gathers people accused or threatened until the case comes to trial. His opinion is only an opinion not a decree.
    A reporter merely gathers facts and opinions, he is not authorized to preside at a trial but can influence how the facts are used. Even though it is just his opinion, he can force the truth to become twisted and untrue. Let truth come forward, not a hangman’s mob.

    Merci,

    No one has found him guilty at all. This only happened about a week and a half ago. So, I am really confused by your comments. My post DID NOT proclaim him as guilty. Please explain.

    Meri,
    He confessed to the cop that he smothered his child. I feel sorrow for the family members that loved him but I feel anger and sadness thinking of how that baby died… Unacceptable and no excuse for it.,.

    I understand everyone’s confusion and sadness over what happened to this poor little boy. I join you in these emotions. However, I feel that people need to know a few more things about this family. I’ve known Dave for about 8 years. Dave is not a deadbeat dad who could have knowingly and intentionally murdered his son. Dave has a very low IQ and is unable to function as a normal father. He loved his son and did the best he could. I’m not saying that he could not have caused his son’s death, I’m just saying that I believe he did NOT mean to. As far as the confession – the police arrived at about the same time as the EMT’s. I think you could have gotten this distraught father to say anything and even be confused enough to loose sight of what really happened. Tragic for son, tragic for the young mother, and tragic for the father. My heart goes out to all.

    My name is Amanda and I am the God mother of David Jr., I was more shocked than anybody to hear from my best friend that dave jr had passed and was just as skeptcial as his wife Kassy was that they were charging Dave Sr. That is until we learned the cold hard truth. Dave did this tragic thing on purpose. He is a monster who deserves to die and I am waiting and anticipating what happenes to him once he is released into general population. I would say may god be with him but he no longer deserves gods protection. Plea insane all you want but in the end you will get what is coming to you.

    godmother,
    you are all lies. You the so-called godmother were never even there or even came to thier wedding. I know about the people too. David was very caring for the baby and would never have done this. He took care of the baby when kassy didn’t want to and just wanted it to stop cring. she would put a bottle in his mouth so she didn’t have to hear him and David changed the diapers, and played with him.

    note from blog owner

    Joe,

    Please read my comment policy. Just because you do not agree with her does not mean you need to berate her, or talk bad about the victim’s mother. You are obviously David’s friend, so I will leave this for now. However, please remember, David confessed. But do not come here and take your anger or frustration out by talking about Kassy. That is very immature and not needed here. I will remove any and all further comments like this.

    Judge lest you be judged. The news covers points that bring the viewers and are not privy to complete information. A confession can be forced, and trying to get one from someone that is not older than 12 in his head was probably as easy as luring a 3 year old with a piece of candy. Yes, a life was lost, but not by the intentional hand of David. I, too, know David, and he is not capable of malice or murder. He loved that baby. My heart goes out to his family who raised David well and continue to support him. The truth will be known–further than just an eye-cathching headline luring harsh criticism and judgement, and a detective who lured and manipulated a confession with promise of a hug.

    This is a very tragic situation. The fact is that David was the father and guardian of this child and instead of putting him in his crib and walking away he chose to KILL his small infant instead. There is NO JUSTICE for such a person. This baby’s mother is still having to work while grieving for her poor baby and get ready for a court hearing to relive this awful event. There is no justification for murdering a baby! If this father was so retarded (as stated above by Karen) then someone, like Karen, should have stepped in when the baby was born!! This was a murder by a man who knew EXACTLY what he was doing and had EVERY other option in the world and CHOSE to KILL his infant! I pray for the poor mother!!! She is a good woman who has had her life ripped apart by a evil man. Rest in peace sweet baby.

    I understand that it hurts to see someone you care about involved in such a horrible crime. Having spoken with numerous people involved in this death I have a hard time seeing David Swapp as anything other than a monster. His wife isn’t exactly innocent either. To these two that baby was nothing more than a nuisance. Before Kassy moved away she didn’t seam the least bit sad her child had been killed. She just kept on partying like usual. That tells you something about this situation.

    Can some of you people please STOP defending this child murderer. There are no reasons or excuses what this monster did to this precious baby. He admitted it people!! Stop saying what a “nice guy he was”. Nice guys DO NOT murder little innocent babies.

    hey i dated this guy when we were in college. he was weird then. I can definatly seeing him doing this to something helpless as a child. When I first met him, he told me less than 72 hours knowing me that god had told him that i was his wife. He would stand infront of the mirror and was just mesmorized by it, and anytime there was a mirror he was fixated. He was very abused by his classmates, he was such a pushover. He was pathetic.
