Terri Sullivan and Scott Sullivan
This is 26-year-old Terri Sullivan.
Terri Sullivan and her husband, 27-year-old Scott Sullivan, had a baby around the last week of July.
They named the baby girl Kimberly.
Kimberly Sullivan weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces when she came out of Terri Sullivan’s tummy and took her first breath of air.
She looked healthy – like a normal newborn infant – and was cleared to leave the hospital with her parents.
Terri Sullivan and Scott Sullivan took Kimberly Sullivan home to their new apartment in Tucson, Arizona and started the process of caring for the new addition to their family.
They didn’t do a very good job.
They did a very bad job.
Someone might want to tell Terri Sullivan that babies are supposed to get bigger after they come out of their mother. This process, called “growth,” occurs when parents, like Terri and Scott Sullivan, feed their child.
Perhaps, if you were interested, you would like to refer to this chart to compare the progress of 6-week-old Kimberly Sullivan to most 6-week-old babies.
On the 30th of August, 2008, police officers and paramedics were told to head over to the apartment of Terri and Scott Sullivan, alerted by a 911 call made by Terri that stated her baby wasn’t responsive.
Neighbors reported hearing Scott Sullivan, as he began the process of giving mouth-to-mouth to little Kimberly Sullivan, saying:
The baby’s not breathing, the baby’s not breathing!
Officers and paramedics arrived on scene and took control. Despite their best efforts, Kimberly Sullivan was declared dead on the scene.
A quick examination of the dead infant revealed that she did not look healthy. Kimberly Sullivan’s skin was loose and paramedics could easily see her ribs. After weighing Kimberly’s remains, authorities discovered that she weighed 5 pounds, 12 ounces.
So basically, what we’re telling you is that Kimberly Sullivan lost almost a fourth of her original body weight – two whole pounds – in six weeks.
And, of course, we can all rest assured that little Kimberly Sullivan was loved, hugged, held and cuddled during her short 6-week stay here on earth. After all, a child that’s being starved to death must be getting the proper emotional nourishment as well – because humans wouldn’t treat their own helpless little newborn like People You’ll See In Hell’s admin treats the flowers in the front of his house.
Of course not.

America, let’s create a ‘Parenting For Dummies’ handbook to avoid cases like these.
Won’t help guy. Many people on this mudball are shit sorry. They just don’t give a rats ass. their TV show, their drug addiction, screwing anything they can get in to bed. It all makes me sick.
Hang the 2 scumbags slowly and let em rot.
Turtle, you have a way with words. I like your stye.
If I hear 1 word about postpartum depression, I swear to God I’m gonna get that sniper rifle and find these 2 fuckers so I can put a 7.62mm round right between their eyes. I’d go for the old “double tap” (one in the head and one in the heart), but neither one of these assholes has a heart.
Seriously though, I usually shed a couple of tears when I read about one of these cases, but it didn’t happen this time…maybe I don’t have any tears left, or maybe all I have for these little babies now is anger & rage. At least I’m feeling something, cuz I think the worst thing would be to put it out of my head like what happens when you watch your team lose a football game. This kind of thing IS my problem. What part did I, we, have in creating 2 idiots who won’t feed their newborn baby. It’s got to be more than them not having the common sense God gave to a hot dog. Was it stupidity on their part, apathy, evil, all three or something else. Judging by the pictures, my money is on evil, plain and simple. Beast & the Beast, but I’m sure the kid was a heartbreaker. Where ever she is now, sadly, she has lots of company.

Max the Cat- I’m not going to cack on Post-Partum Depression yet, (even though, no doubt, the she-POS will inevitably pull that card out of her ass), because it is a real syndrome. Problem is, while men may gain a few sympathy pounds during pregnancy, they don’t actually suffer delivery pain or Pos-Partum depression.
So, Daddy-o has no excuse for why he didn’t step up to the bat and give the baby a few bottles here and there.
My first boy had colic for 4 1/2 months. That’s enough to make anyone depressed post-partum. Other, lucky people don’t get the joy of having most everything you’ve fed your baby be hurled across the room, or be subjected to almost non-stop crying.
But somehow neither of my children died for lack of trying on my part. I have no sympathy for women who abuse/neglect their children, nor for their co-conspirators who can’t seem to fix a bottle.
I keep saying ‘bottle’ because it seems clear to me that mommy-dearest was not likely breastfeeding her baby. Sad thing is that that might have been best, as the pix of mommy-dearest look like she was full of evil, and not breastmilk.
It does make me wonder where the peripheral people were in this baby’s life. How could nobody else not have noticed that the baby cried all the time and that nobody fed it? Where the hell were the grandparents? Oh, nevermind- they’re probably only about 25-20 years old themselves.
Stupid people suck. Mean people suck. What else is there to say in this case? Were they so into meth that they thought the baby was supposed to forage for themselves amongst the cigarette butts and animal crap on the carpet?
Forgive me for assuming they had a filthy house. After so many of these stories, they all blur together, and it just seems to be a given.
c
I probably shouldn’t have use the postpartum depression as an example, because you’re right c, it is a real thing. But she doesn’t look depressed, she looks pissed, and yeah, he’s got no excuse at all. That’s why he gets the first shot.
Well, that and he’s damn near as ugly as I am. Good thing I have lots of “inner beauty” *laugh*
Max, Glory- Postpartum is real, and it’s sad. I, however, have ZERO sympathy for someone, depression or not, who does things like this. These kids we read about that are shooting up schools are all depressed, but that doesn’t make me think that they are not accountable for what they have done. So I’m gonna have to agree with your first post Max, postpartum depression or not, they deserve to be shot.
I suffered through post partem depression after the birth of my third child. I was convinced that i was a bad mother and that my daughter was better off being cared for by someone else. I cried a lot. It was sad and it was a tough time. But as soon as i knew that something was wrong with the way i was feeling, i went to see my Doctor who put me on meds for a while and got me some counselling. Within four months i was back to my cheery old self.
Not once in the time i was depressed did i fail to feed, bathe, cuddle, change or tell my daughter how much i loved her.
I know some women get it worse than i did…but there is so much awarness these days about post natal depression and there is so much help available.
I think too many women use it as an excuse to neglect their babies.
And i agree with Glory- even if she was depressed…what was the fathers excuse? He didnt actually have to pull out his boob and feed it himself. He could have gone to the chemist and bought some baby formula.
There is just no excuse, in my opinion, for that baby to be left to starve to death.
Glory, anyone who is to lazy to feed their baby probably lives in filth. So you may assume all you want and I will agree!
Both of these assholes need to be locked up with piss water and stale bread only.
unless you fuckers know what the hell you are talking about or even know what really happened or if you are innocent i dont want to hear shit from you.
Okay, are you talking to us or to Terri and Scott?
Tammy, as one of the “fuckers,” you mention, may I respond by stating the following: “shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.”
Whatcha gonna do about it?
You are surely a demi-god, E. Such mastery of the English language, lol. :) It makes me cry… *grovels in humble woship*
**curtsey**, **simper, blush**
;-)
You just made my double shift that much easier to bear, E. *sobbing* thank you soooooooo much!
Glad to hear it, and God bless you for your service to this country. Don’t know what I’d do without you guys and this site . . .
Awww, shucks. *kicking the ground* I do what I do so others don’t have to. Part time Navy now, full time Police dispatcher at the Naval Base I drill at. Can’t seem to get away from it, and I don’t want to. I wouldn’t trade my job for anything in the world.
You are a BADASS! God, how do we clone people like you?
Shhhh! The govt is working on it, lol! Top Secret, hushity-hush :)
I’m a little confused on the baby’s age. The article says that she was born the last week of April and that she died on August 30th but she was 6 weeks old. Not that it makes and difference in their hell-bounded-ness, I’m just curious.
Also, It really pisses me off that she was at least 6 weeks old so in those 6 weeks, they had to have fed her SOMETHING for a while. It seems they just woke up one day and said “meh, formula is expensive and we need to use our money for more meth and acne medication. She’ll be okay if we don’t feed her for a while, right?”
And to max the cat- PPD, there. I mentioned it, now please go do as you promised.
admin – Our bad. Editing mistake that should have been fixed. Fixed now. Thanks!
I think we all make mistakes with our first born. I was all thumbs when it came to changing diapers. Course, we had to use pins and cloth diapers when she was born. Still, there is a bit of a learning curve. They’ll do better with the next one.
you are silly miwist LOL
but yeah…joking aside…theres gotta be more story here…and what’s with teh sheet around their necks anyway? Any thoughts? I’ve never been arrested so I don’t know, is that a new rule they can only show the heads only? Or are they gearing up for target practice and the grey sheets make their melonheads easier targets?
I have been wondering that myself Kenny. It seems that more and more police depts are doing the mugshots with the shroud on.
Anyone have any insight into this?
In Arizona they put them things around the inmates neck/shoulders. Everytime they arrest someone on First 48 or show their previous mugshots they have that thing on…same color and everything.
Miwist, I hope they don’t have a 2nd one. They don’t deserve it.
Is there any possibility that the baby had an illness or something? An old boyfriend of mine had a twin brother who was deformed and slightly brain damaged. It turned out that as an infant, he had a disorder that made him unable to process nourishment properly. By the time they discovered it, he was severely damaged.
What was really strange was looking at him, next to his identical twin brother, and thinking what a shame it was. He was about 5 feet tall (my BF was 6’2″), he could not stand up straight, and his arm was permanently bent with the hand up to his chest.
Anyway – no real excuse, since the parents should have taken the baby in for checkups, but if there was a legitimate illness or disorder, it might just be inexperience and ignorance – not out and out neglect or abuse.
Just a thought.
“Just a thought” ? For a defense attorney perhaps. Logical explanation? Sure…OK.
On behalf of the state (look at the growth chart comparison), these two able bodied people deserve Hell! (or at least prison) What is AZ’s take on the death penalty? Ohio wants to give that Microwave beotch death. :o)
It’s sad I think of how babies just love to chow down on their little bottles (every 1-2 hours the first 6 weeks). It’s what we cherish about them. This sounds like it could be one of the worst ways for a baby to die. Starved. I also wonder what happend though. A baby’s blood sugar could fatally drop in a matter of hours at that age (meaning just a few skipped feedings depending on their size, smaller babies can actually survive longer). Why did she live so long? What happened? What is their story? Or rather what are the facts??? Maz??
I don’t know the facts =/
My classes resumed last week, so I have very little spare time atm. Hopefully things will settle into a pattern and I can get back to looking this stuff up.
But, I would expect that there have been some kinds of tests on the baby’s body that would show if there was some kind of genetic disorder.
If so then the parents are dumb fucks, but probably not murderers. If not, then they are just plain old dumb fuck murderers.
On the blood sugar ….my daughter was born with low blood sugar levels. She had her first feed moments after being born and went to sleep.
She was drowzy an hour and a half later when she woke up for another feed. I remember sitting there on the hospital bed thinking,”this is not normal.” I stroked her face and talked to her trying to get her to wake up properly. Then i a got a warm face cloth and wiped her face thinking that would work. By that point i was pretty much freaking out and buzzed for the nurse.
She endedup staying in the Special Care Nursary of the hospital we were in for two weeks.
If something was wrong with this child, and it wasnt feeding properly or was overly drowzy, why didnt she call a doctor? OK maybe she was stupid and didnt know what to do…but a mothers instinct should have motivated her to get medical help.
Retraction!
According to the article below – she apparently admits that she was deliberately starving the baby. So, ignore me and my attempt to be openminded.
This bitch shall burn in hell, should God ask my opinion.
Did she say WHY she was starving the baby? Not that it matters really, but yeah im curious as to what reason she would have for doing such a thing.
It’s not only her job to feed the child, it’s also his.
Stupid cunt and the cunt licker needs to die!
Sorry, I won’t say that again. I was mad
I LOVE how people you see in HELL make you laugh after reading a tragic story. As it takes your attention away from the MONSTERS! LOL
“If you’d like to lose a little weight yourself, try the 2-day Slimdown. Drop 12 pounds by Friday. Just don’t give it to your 6-week-old daughter, please.”
Anyways SICK JUST SICK! WTF is WRONG with people! Like the baby is magically going to feed themselves or hey I know Super Nanny will come to the rescue and take care of the baby for you! NOT! You should FEED the baby cause you LOVE HER if anything I am SURE the baby was SCREAMING for a WHILE for FOOD! Who the HELL wants to hear that! If you are emotionally unattached to the baby at least do it for your own selfish reason like NOT wanting to hear a baby CRY! If they can’t afford formula than Breast feed or relactate if you need to. I think they should throw these 2 in a cell with no food or water for 6 weeks! Oh and no human contact either!
All you usually hear from America is the problem of childhood obesity……
….i guess going the other way’s not great either
There have been too many articles lately about starving new borns to death! Before leaving the hospital with their little bundle of joy, it should be manditory that parents take a written AND oral exam on how to feed, change, and care for a baby. If they pass with a score of 80% or better on the exams, they get to take junior home. If they score 79% or less, baby stays at the hospital and gets to LIVE!
It’s no good though, if they know how but just plain refuse to do it.
The problem is actually far too short of a hospital stay for mom/newborn. Not to mention there should be some sort of follow-up with new parents after they take their darlings home.
They totally do! They do have a test some what like that. The feedings are checking, changings. They even physically show you how to breast feed your baby. You have to sign papers agreeing that you understand all of this before you leave. The baby is also in great condition before you are discharged. The mother cares for the baby almost the entire stay. This bitch was playing the role.
They did this to the baby out of neglect. Not stupidity. Stupidity can actually mean innocence in some eyes (not the laws), god forgives you (if you believe in that). However, cold hearted neglect is a totally different creature. Pure Evil.
the first two lines are already a dead giveaway about what’s to come and yet i still read on.
i’d really like some real life unreal tournament for these people, a satisfying “headshot” comment would sound about right in this case.
I am not standing up for these people they are obviously guilty of neglect but will point out that babies can lose weight in first weeks. My nine pounder lost three pounds in two weeks but started putting it on very slowely, she was always skinny baby not plump like brother. But where were the midwives and health visitors. In uk we get visits at home for first week and then the health visitor takes over. Did neighbours not notice or hear the baby crying? Breast milk is free so no excuse for not feeding the little mite even if they had no money.

More info. CPS sucks! A fucking business card?!?!?!?
CPS needs to go to Hell too!
CPS only cares about what they can prove – not what actually happens. The system is way too screwed up to do any good anymore.
Your dead right there…but we can make a difference in some of these cases. If you see something that makes you think a child is being abused, phone CPS and keep phoning. If you actually see somone abusing their child, dont say,’its not my place to get involved.” GET INVOLVED. Speak up and let the parent know that you think their behaviour is inappropriate. I know this is not going to make any difference in a lot of cases, but even if it helps in ONE case then it is worth the effort.
I have called, on a mother that would grab a fistful of her 3 year old daughter’s hair and shake her head like a ragdoll whenever the girl annoyed her. I was told since she didn’t actually pull any hair out and that the girl’s feet were still touching the floor, there was nothing they could do. How f’ed up is that??
Its totally fucked up jaded.
I volunteer as a mentor at our kids school and sometimes you hear stuff about what goes on in some peoples families and it makes me want to grab something big and heavy and go looking for the mutha fuckers! But then i go to jail for assult and who looks after my kids??
If i thought i could deal out a little justice id do it in a heartbeat. But instead i call CPS and the police….and pray someone does something.
Thanks for the article. WTF? She was deliberately starving the baby?
Oh, and once again – CPS was called because of the wandering baby and DIRTY HOUSE!
What is with these people? What is with the dirty houses? How much you want to bet that there were feces all around? It’s like the biggest warning sign ever. When they find one of these dirty houses, they should be able to take the kids immediately! Grab the kids, teach the parents how to keep a reasonably clean house, feed and discipline their kids – or just spay/neuter the parents if they can’t handle it. Something in their life should be sterile. Jheeze.
(I know I am a bit OCD about the dirty house/abused kid connection, but it just seems like they go together way too often!)
CPS was investigating alligation of neglect pertaining to an older child in the home wandering around the apartment complex alone. The call to the hotline was most likely made by a neighbor. When CPS arrived at the home, the parents moved with no forwarding address. CPS was not aware of a baby in the home, they only knew what was reported to the hotline. Since the report was made regarding lack of supervision, it was not a priority because there were worse cases out there. Unfortunately due to funding and lack if resources CPS cannot investigate every report within a 24 hour period. It is important for all of us to pay attention to the world around us and take action in preventing abuse and neglect.
Don’t know what to say about this one, upon further research the family has a 2, 4 and 6 year old children, the mother is a stay at home mother and the father woks full time at target. To many questions, post-partum depression come to mind; just to say that they belong in hell is wrong with out knowing all the facts. I would imagine that as parents of three other children loosing or killing a baby for any reason at some point will make the parents feel like they are already in hell here on earth.
The facts are that she deliberately starved her child to death. The circumstances leading up to this event do not really matter. Many women suffer from post natal depression, they dont all starve their kids to death!
There is no excuse and knowing all the facts wont make what she did ok.
Don’t forget – the baby’s father expressed concern also. She should have listened to him and sought help for herself and the baby.
Before people get upset with me, I realize the father may be a teensie-weensie bit responsible, but he WAS WORKING FULL-TIME at Target. You can’t expect him to work a grueling 8 hour shift AND come home to take care of his children.
I would have dragged her down to the hospital to get help.
Working full time or not, that was his child and most of us as parents would chop off our right arm to ensure our children are safe and healthy.
Besides, a lot of single mums work full time and take care of kids…i know i did.
Yup, i agree. There doesn’t seem to be enough evidence that the baby was puposely starved. Yes you could argue that they should have sought help and advice from their doctor, but by the sound of things it seems that they were genuinly shocked that the wee one had stopped breathing. Shit happens to good people that maybe out of their control. Whether this is the case remains to be seen. One thing that is evident is that they have managed to bring up their other children without (im assuming) any problems that social services have noticed. Maybe she is suffering from post natal depression and he’s out working as many hours as he can at target to put food on the table for the Five(?) children. Of course he assumes the wife is taking care of the baby because she always had done with the others. She feels tired and useless with the depression and the constant demands of the wee one and the other kids. She doesn’t want to talk about it with husband because he’s tired from long shifts and the last thing she thinks he wants is a wife that can’t cope. She puts a brave face on and manages to convince him that nothing is out the ordinary. In the meantime, she is actually finding it hard to function emotionally and mentally, thus neglecting her maternal duties to the wee one, as he is the most demanding but also the one that she has failed to bond with due to PND. Her instincts have failed her. Through the fog that has decended upon her she knows she should be doing a better job as the mother of this wee baby, and this only proves to compound the failure that she feels she is, therefore if the problem (baby) is out of mind then she will be able to cope that little bit better with everything else. Feeding and caring for the wee one has trickled to the bare essentials. Eventually, though the seemless passing of an unknown passage of time (everyday is a drag and a fugue) the wee one circums to his unfortunate fate which was unavoidable and is a tragidy for everyone of them. Now living with greif and the guilt that she will have consuming her for the rest of her life, she probably feels she deserves to go to prison. Thats what may have been the case! Who knows! Over here in Scotland it’s normal practice for midwives or community nurses to have regular visits with families of new borns. They check the weight of the baby and other basic health issues, and also advise on any issues that parent have in coping with the new addition to the family. Im not sure what the situation is over in the states but i would have thought that over the period of six weeks someone should have been visiting the family to make sure they were coping and the baby was fit and healthy. Strange. Whether PND was the case or not, you can’t help but think there may have been failures from professional bodies that could have made a difference to the outcome! These people don’t deserve to go to hell just yet. They are living in hell by there own grief probably and shouldn’t be condemned by us until we really know what happened!
At what point in your life was your common sense reduced to the level of a tomato plant SCOTARG? As I read your comment, I became more and more angry. You may have reached a new high for naiveté on PYSIH, and maybe a new high for stupidity too.
Two of my cats started loosing weight at different times this year. Max, who is 10, lost an incredible amount in about a month, and as soon as we noticed it, we got his furry ass to the Vet. He turned out to be diabetic, and now gets regular injection of insulin twice a day. Harry took longer, he went from 17 pounds to 11 over the course of a 7 months or so. It turned out to be Hyperthyroidism, and he needs daily medication too. They are both doing great now.
My point is that if my wife and I can be observant and responsible enough to keep two sick cats from dying (I’ve also raised two daughters to adulthood), what possible excuse could these two baby killing murderers have for allowing their child to die. How could they miss all the symptoms of starvation a baby would display. What the fuck is wrong with you man? How can you even think of making excuses for these fools. Not only do you that, but you expend quite a bit of brainpower trying to convert a few gullible jackasses out there to join you. I have no compassion for these people because there is no excuse for what they did. My gut tells me Terri was well aware of her child’s suffering, and just didn’t give a shit, and if Scott didn’t realize what was going on, he deserves prison just for being criminally fucking stupid. You know what SCOTARG? Fuck Scott & Terri Sullivan, and fuck you too.
LOL thank you Max the furry ass cat :-)
I was going to jump on that wagon but you beat me to it and you said it with more class than I could have. Thank you
*hugs*
It upsets me to know that the system is going to do more for the parents than it ever did for the child.
Any lawyers who defend these POS probably disgust Satan himself
Well, things aren’t looking very good for Terri and Scott. A Tucson AZ Grand Jury indicted both of them on first-degree murder charges Monday for the fatal, deliberate and premeditated starving of their 6 week old daughter Kimberly. Score a big one for the good guys, and send my most heartfelt Fuck You Very Much to Terri & Scott.
*** Mini update ***
Terri Sullivan is in the Pima County Jail in lieu of $750,000 bail. Scott Sullivan is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail. ( totaling 1.25 million )
There was also an issue about there other children. Including the baby, there was a total of 4. They are 2, 4 and 6. Who have been taken into custody by CPS.
Also there is a CPS story:
On Aug. 20 about 10 days before the death of Kimberly ( Aug. 30), CPS received a report that one of Kimberly’s siblings, who was reported to be 4 years old, was seen wandering outside of their home and that their residence was dirty.
“Gaubeca said the family was evicted from one apartment and moved to another, making it more difficult for CPS to find it. She said when the CPS investigator found the family’s new apartment, no one appeared to be home, so the investigator left a business card on the door.
The couple did not respond to the business card and an investigator never spoke with the Sullivans, she said.
At the time of the infant’s death, CPS was “exploring other options to find them,” Gaubeca said. She said the child welfare agency did not know the couple had an infant until after the dead baby was found by paramedics.”
Next court date :
The Sullivans will appear before “Judge Jan Kearney ” on Nov. 4.
“The couple did not respond to the business card and an investigator never spoke with the Sullivans, she said.”
Duh. Did they actually think the POSbags would call? It takes sooo much effort to remove the business card, pick-up the phone, and dial the number.
Court date on the 4th you say? Ha! I’ll be voting. I got no time for their lame trial.
Thanks Taz fer the update.
The reason for the shrouds is that they are a neutral color and can be ‘green-screened’. For example if they ever escape and police believe they might be in Florida, they can put their faces in a setting with palm trees and white sand and give a pretty impressive composite. Haha, I admit that is not even a little bit true. My first thought was perhaps they were naked (ick), or they were wearing offensive clothing (again, police would encourage the couple to showcase their bad taste).
A baby’s gotta eat. An adult has to eat. Families with young children generally eat together, and the baby is ALWAYS put first. Even a wild animal takes better care of their children than these disgraces to the human race. My goodness, a wildabeast will even give their babies milk.
Side Note: Mental retardation is not an excuse for depriving a baby its main basic need.

Egg donor has been sentenced to at least 25 years, and the sperm donor’s trial starts on Wednesday.
Here’s hoping they both meet their fate in the form of Big Bubba (or Bernice, I guess. HA!).
Why is it that evil fucks like these are always so ugly?
The universe’s way of warning us?
Too bad people’s outsides don’t match their insides, then we’d know to avoid everyone who looks like this.
