Reckless Endangering 1st



Location: Coverdale Road, Seaford, De

Date of Occurrence: December, 07, 2009 at approximately 7:40 pm

Victims: 1 year old boy, and an 8 year old boy

Defendants:
Sherita Stanley, 40, Seaford, De
Alton Jones, 57, Seaford, De

Resume: Yesterday evening Troopers from Troop 5 responded to Coverdale Road in Seaford Delaware to check on the welfare of two children that were believed to be unsupervised, in a residence. Upon the Troopers arrival they were guided to a small 10x10 garage that was converted into a room on the rear of the home. Once the Trooper opened the garage he observed the room to be full of smoke from a Kerosene heater operating in the room. The Trooper also observed a 1 year old boy unconscious, in the garage. The Trooper quickly removed the child from the room, and immediately rendered first aid. The child then began to breathe, and was flown to University of Maryland Hospital for further treatment.

Further investigating revealed that Sherita Stanly the mother of the 1 year old, and Alton Jones, father of the 1 year old boy, had left the child in the residence, unsupervised, for several hours. It was also revealed that Sherita Stanly, and Alton Jones had asked an 8 year old boy, also located in the residence, to watch over their child while they left the home.

Sherita Stanly and Alton Jones were both located and placed in custody for Reckless Endangering 1st, Endangering Welfare of child, Conspiracy, and Reckless Endangering 2nd. Both defendants were arraigned on all charges, and committed to Sussex Correction Institute in lieu of $11,000.00 secured bond each.

The 1 year old boy is currently in stable condition at University of Maryland Hospital. The 8 year old boy was not injured during the incident.

Sentence should be....MANDATORY hysterectomy/vascectomy paid for by the accused. They should remain in jail until they have paid for and HAD these operations. Please prevent them from putting another child in danger. Oh...and how about they have to also pay for the medical care received by the children as another condition of gettin out of jail? These poor children...to have to grow up being raised by such idiots!

any word on WHY they left them unattended. Glad this did not turn into another preventable death of a child.

Coverdale Crossroads is not a place you want to ride through without proper equipment.
