 Geri Moss with Ladamien |
TAMPA – A Bay Area 5-month-old is a lucky guy after being brought to the hospital last week with a condition called water intoxication.
Ladamien Barton’s mom says she wasn’t getting enough cans of baby formula through the WIC program, so she was stretching it out.
Directions say mix six scoops with eight ounces of water, but mom Geri Moss said she was mixing four scoops to 14 ounces of water instead.
She didn’t realize that was a no-no until Ladamien developed seizures and couldn’t breathe.
“He was off in a daze, he wasn’t following my hand, he started screaming,” Moss recalled. “He curled up in a ball. I went to lift him up but he stopped breathing. As soon as he stopped breathing, I put him on his back and started doing CPR.”
“Another hour he would have been dead,” offered UCH pediatrician Dr. James Orlowski.
Ladamien?!
Found by Cristina Fischer.
Yeah, Ladamien? Oh well, the kid should just be thankful he doesn’t have Ashlee Simpson for a mother; he’d end up being named “Bronx Mowgli”.
The kid looks kind of cute, but those Elvis sideburns on “mom”? Blecchh!!
Just add ‘La-’, ‘Ja-’, ‘Tre-’ to any normal name and become ghettofabulous!
“he stopped breathing. As soon as he stopped breathing, I put him on his back and started doing CPR.”

Another hour of not breathing?
What are the odds that s(he) is a regular meth user?

With a name like “Ladamien”, I’m sure his father is Jor-el or Kal-el or one of the other Kryptonians. As such, he has powers far beyond those of ordinary babies. X-ray eyes, superstrength, and the ability to hold his breath for over an hour.
Sad. Water isn’t food and that kid looks wasted but then so does the person holding it. I don’t think this is a government issue. I think this ia a parent issue.
Are we waterboarding infants now?

The kid looks kind of cute
OK, maybe Christianity does give you a kinder disposition. From where I sit, that baby is fugly!!
In fact, that baby just may be the poster child for vasectomy.
That said, I am glad the poor fugly baby didn’t die from the waterboarding. I don’t support death penalty for ugliness.
#2 – That sounds like some racial shit!
This is troubling on so many levels. First, and obviously, What is “mom”? Gay boy? Skinny lesbian? Meth head? What? Second, Where did the baby come from? This “mom” and a Turkey baster? Missing black father? Trailer trash dad? What? Third, and this is, perhaps, the most troubling part, why can’t “mom” breast feed junior? Oh. I think we ALL know the answer to that one. If this person is on “WIC”, then “she” certainly has enough formula to feed the kid. Unless “mom” is selling the formula to other “moms” in her housing project. Fourth, When does Child Protective Services remove the kid from this freak?

Hmm. Maybe it is the Christian thing. Or maybe as the proud parent of a household of rugrats (now becoming second-generation rugrats), I’m more favorably inclined to see the inherent beauty, the heart-rending greatness, the limitless potential of the little motherfuckers.
Even Heidi Klum’s baby isn’t “ugly”, it’s just “interesting-looking”.
typical democrat. Im sure she really considered the issues before she voted too.
Right. I wonder if people realize that WIC is designed to supplement, not replace, the hard work required to keep afloat and overcome in tough economic times.
Seeing as these are the same geniuses naming their babies “Ladamien”, my money is on “No.”
That being said, babies are adorable, not matter the physical deformity.
The best thing about babies is that they’re not assholes yet.
I don’t hold much hope for this one.
Mister Mustard – The dumb magazine left out an apostrophe.
Ladamien… hmmm. It sounds similar to a talented RB for the San Diego Chargers. Maybe she is a fan and wanted to name her son after him but screwed up the name.
When it comes to infants… always follow the directions on the container!!!
#10 – Mister Mustard,
Nope. That baby’s ugly too. Obviously, I’m not exactly an “all babies are cute” kind of guy. On the upside, when I tell someone their kid is cute, I mean it.
Mostly though, I’ll go with the definition of child on this page:
Godling’s Glossary
Lots of other good definitions on that site as well.
Most babies are adorable==defensible.
All babies are adorable regardless of physical deformity==moronic wish.
I’ll bet that “mom” has newspaper articles cut out ready to be framed so she can show Ladamien when “they was famous and yer good ol mama almost keeled yew.”
Another story meant to promote the idea that licensing should be required to give birth.
Laying the foundation for the nazi mom campaign (palin, clinton) in 2011.
“Ladamien?” Named after Daddy, no doubt…
