Parents Who Murdered Social Worker Found

Baby Appears to Be Fine

Godfrey, IL - A 3 day search and amber alert ended Thursday night when the parents of Saige Terrell were found in a camping trailer.

Saige was taken to the hospital for an examination. He was apparently fine. He has been returned to his foster parents. Saige's foster mother, Jennifer Snyder, has expressed gratitude at his return. According to reports, they are looking to adopt Saige, who has been in care since birth.

Meanwhile, Renee Terrell and her boyfriend, Christopher Wayne Luttrell currently face charges for fleeing the state to avoid prosecution. According to police, Renee has been convicted of child abuse and endangerment in New York, and has had other children taken away in the past. Lutrell has an outstanding warrant for parole violation in Jefferson County.

Frederick's autopsy showed that she suffered multiple blunt and sharp force trauma in the beating that caused her death.

Renee's neighbors stated that she learned last week that her son was going to be put up for adoption. This was supposed to be her last visit, which authorities believe to be the reason that she kidnapped her son.
There have been a lot of articles on the tragedy surrounding Ms. Frederick's death and the pursuit of Saige's parents, but I've found one of particular interest because it addresses what brought this about.

Though I do not condone murder under any circumstances, some of this may answer they 'why' that people are feeling right now.

Since I don't believe in plagiarism, I'll link that article here. If anyone would like to discuss either viewpoint, there is a comment section below. I'd love to hear what anyone thinks on this issue and others.

    i AGREE WITH THE WRITER; "Kidnapping" when used to describe a parent that is desperate enough to take her own child and flee is not an accurate term. Although I too cannot condone murder, I question the motives of the Social Worker involved in this case. Knowing that the baby was going to be taken away permanently why would this social worker be involved in taking the baby to the Mother at all? The newspaper paints the Mother as a horrible person yet she did not in anyway hurt the child. Why didn't the Mother know that the baby was being taken pemanently long before this incident? Having once having to deal with CPS and being the subject of their lies I am familiar with their emotional games. The social workers just keep on lieing. They treat parents and grandparents like idiots. It is time for social workers to stop playing emotional games with parents. They need to start being honest with people and stop pretending that they are mini gods. Social Workers are not trained to
