Shellie D Ross AKA Shellie D Schnell arrested in Florida

****Update: 9/15/2011 The father of the boy that Shellie has not paid support for in over 11 years - the 17 year old boy who has not heard from his mother in 11 years, has contacted me. His story broke my heart and I'm currently working with him on bringing justice for the son Shellie has forgotten.

***update 9/13/2011 - Shellie was released yesterday (9/12/2011) at 10:00 (according to Bervard County PD). She is a fugitive from Franklin Ohio, wanted for 2 counts of non support of her previous children (ummm, why is this woman still having kids when she obviously can't take care of any of them). Ohio didn't want to pay the cost to extradite her. However, her warrant is still active - meaning - if she travels to Ohio  or a state near Ohio, they will still arrest her.

Remember Shellie Ross? The mom who was on Twitter (@military_mom) tweeting while her son, Bryson Ross drowned in the swimming pool? She tweeted afterwards asking for prayers. Then she blamed the drowning on her 11 year old son. You’d think moms everywhere would be horrified by her actions, yet, social media moms were not horrified by Shellie Ross, they were horrified by the fact I questioned why a mother wasn’t being held accountable for the death of her child.

Well, Shellie Ross AKA Shellie Schnell she was arrested by Brevard County Sherrif Office on August 29, 2011. She’s a wanted fugitive from Ohio, has 2 counts against her, and there is a no bond order on her, meaning she can’t be bailed out.

Back in 2009, I had (what I thought to be) common sense and questioned if the child might still be alive today if Shellie hadn't been tweeting prior to his drowning.

That got me vilified by the Mommy Blogger Community... Jessica Gottlieb went so far as to post  my home address and phone number in her Twitter stream.

Even newspaper reporter Kimberly C. Moore from Florida Today argued with me on the phone and presented me in a biased judgmental article she wrote full of sympathy for poor Shellie Ross.

I received death threats, got a whole web post devoted to me titled:  CUNT by a famed mommy blogger and was on the receiving end of the word 'whore' and had websites pop up devoted to harassing me. So...just to be clear - it's acceptable for a social media mom to be tweeting while her baby drowns (then blame her 11 year old son for it) - IT IS NOT acceptable to question if Bryson Ross would still be alive today had his mother not loved tweeing more than she loved her 'million dollar baby.'

Of course, Shellie herself called me a troll, bully, etc...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...but you know, something always reeked about this woman. Who, right after losing her child went on to procreate and gave birth 14 months after the drowning of her son - to yet, another baby boy.

Of course, she tweeted the whole time she was in the hospital right after giving birth because she was trying to win a Disney Cruise Dream vacation.

Then slowly, she stopped tweeting and I thought...hmmmm, maybe she realized that being a mom was more important than being online.

But I kept my blog posts about the death of Bryson posted. I just had this feeling she wasn't this wonderful momma that her friends and the Tweeting minions made her out to be.  I had a feeling we weren't at the end of the story yet.

And then I  noticed in increase in traffic on my website this morning. I rarely even check the site meter history, but today, today I had time and I discovered someone had searched for the name Shellie D Schnell and it brought them to my website.

So. I did a search and discovered that Shellie D. Schnell of Merritt Island Florida was indeed, Shellie D. Ross, infamous twitter mom of a dead baby. 

I contacted the Brevard County Police Department. The booking department, to be more precise. They confirmed that yes, Shellie D. Ross IS Shellie D Schnell. She was a fugitive. Wanted for 2 counts of non support. Seems she has yet more children. Children that she didn't support. Well. At least they aren't dead. At least she her ignorance of them didn't kill them. Forget support - they should be lucky someone loved them enough to make sure they are still alive!!! Because had they been in Shellie's care...well, I'd tell you to ask Bryson Ross, but he's no longer with us. 

I was now intrigued. I did a search of Shellie Ross/Shellie Schnell and discovered that, in the state of Ohio, she had 6 court cases against her. They don't have a public criminal record search, so I don't know why she fled MA for FL. 

So, what do we know? Well, we know a 2 year old lost his life because his mother was too busy with social media to watch him. We know that social media moms were more concerned with Shellie than they were about the 2 year old boy that drowned while in her care. We know the media didn’t bother checking into Shellie Rosses history (what? Reporters not doing their job?) If the facts of her past criminal history were known, I think instead of defending her, people would be wondering why she wasn't sitting in a jail cell.

And now, Shellie Ross is inflicting harm on yet ANOTHER one of her children because she is sitting in a jail cell and she can't even be bonded out.

So yeah, I, (this mother fucker whore cunt (mommy blogger words, not mine)) feels justified.

The. End.

**update: These MommyBloggers were quick to insult and harass me (what great role models) – but now that the truth is about Shellie Ross, they are trying to keep it hush hush.  No apologies. No blog posts where they admit they realize they dishonored a 2 year old child’s death by forgetting about him in favor of protecting his mother. The news was quick to jump on a story about what seemed to be a ‘poor mom’ being ‘questioned’ by me, but now that she’s sitting in jail, where are they? Is that not a newsworthy story? There are 2 stories here: How Social Media Moms (and Dads) are, basically, morons who sling words like whore and cunt.  The second story about how the news media today doesn’t bother to dig any deeper than the surface of a story.   These fine upstanding Blogger Moms:**Daisy Sutherland (@Drmommy), Amy Lupold Blair (@resourcefulmom), Jessica Gottlieb (@JessicaGottlieb). Oh, and Jessica Gottlieb, as we know, does have my address, ya think she'd send me something nice like a gift-basket of bacon to say, "Hey, sorry I was such a douche bag." ***update 9/23/2011 - Jessica has reached out and apologized. And even offered to send bacon. Both are much appreciated.  But seems to me these "mommy bloggers" are teaching their kids that when they made a mistake, best to sweep it under the rug and pretend it didn't exist.
