INMATE INFORMATION

Parents Gone Wild! Theresa Bentaas made an Alord Plea for abandoning her newborn, Baby Andrew John Doe, in a ditch after giving birth in 1981; Sentenced to 10 years in prison

I read about this case a month ago and it really hit me hard. Really hard. So much so that it has taken me this long to post on it. I remember this time period in my life. I was a senior in high school, ready to graduate and go on with my life. My biggest goal at the time was to get married and have children. I did not feel any pressure for that, in fact, just the opposite. But then a month ago I read this story and it took me right back to that time in my life. All I could think of was how much I wanted to be a mother and here one threw away the life of her newborn (allegedly). I cannot imagine her mindset or how she was feeling when this happened. I expect that she was scared about what others would think. However, with that said, there was so much she could have done without killing this child. Even though there were no Safe Haven laws then, I am sure that a hospital would have taken this child as an alternative. She still could have done this in secret, in my opinion. But there is absolutely no excuse or justification for what she did. This baby had frozen tears on his cheeks. It makes me cry every time I think of it. For the record, she has admitted this all to the detectives according to one of the articles. Hopefully she will resolve this case fast. After all, she hurt her family and community. A community that still grieves for this child.

**Update 3/17/2022** Theresa Bentaas has been granted parole.

Can you and will you help my friend, Matt?

Matt’s gofundme campaign
https://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php
Matt has been my friend/brother for over 30 years. We have gone through so many life events – friendship, marriages, children, work, etc., but now, we have hit a milestone no one asked for or wanted. He has been diagnosed with Stage 4 terminal abdominal cancer. This has been a blow to all of us: him, me, his family, and especially his children and grandchildren.

So far the medical expenses he has had to provide have already drowned him, making it hard for him to deal with the family and personal aspect of all of this while he pays out of pocket for most doctor and hospital visits. I have set this up to help pay his medical expenses as none of us in his family are able to pay them for him. The cost of chemo is extreme and I don’t want him to not have it due to the cost. We would all be grateful for any help that can be given to help out with this. We know it is going to be overwhelming and right now his concern needs to be in fighting this disease and staying with us as long as possible. Unfortunately not having rent money along with co-pays is really stressing him out.

Matt and I

I know times are tough, but even $5 donations add up and really help.
Matt’s gofundme campaign

If you are uncomfortable going through gofundme, you can send the money through my PayPal account. We will get it either day. My PayPal email is mylifeofcrime@gmail.com
