I did not know either parents but did know of them through common friends. I also live in westwego born and raised. Yes they had a horrible rat infestation. Both of the parents family lived in westwego also. So why would they leave their home to go to someone else’s home who had the same problems. Natalie did die of aids & the rat(s) attacked her because of the smell of milk on her. As far as yall who said it was good that the little boy had gotten taking away, while in the states care he was not giving his proper medication doses or amount and ended up in the hospital. So I guess that was good for him too? Some people are so ignorant as to not willing finding out all the facts. Oh and BTW Natalie was NOT the only baby to be attacked by rats. Look it up and educate yourselves!

Sounds suspect to me! If they new about the rats why not move the baby in another room with them??? DUH! another senseless life of a helpless child gone! needs to be investigated!!!

It is easy for bloggers to rush to judgement with this couple, but if you dont know the facts stop with the judgement. This area is apart of New Orleans and if you dont reside here you wouldn’t know what the cost of living is here. After the storm you are blessed to have a roof over your head some of us are still displaced or under Claiborne bridge. With that being said this couple lived where they could AFFORD to. Second of all both of them are hearing impaired so they could not hear as well as you. Be carfeul of how you judge because this same situation could happen to you. Do you invite roaches or rats in your home? I didn’t think so. If you don’t live here you don’t know what we are facing. Come visit New Orleans and not for Mardi Gras, drive around areas other than what the governor and mayor show you on TV.

This is sooo sad. Thanks Spuddie for the enlightenment. I had a feeling that something else was going on. I do believe that if the baby was alive when they attacked her she would have at least cried. Maybe the baby was in the crib because the parents were sleeping on the floor. In my opinion, they tried to keep the baby away from harm while they were stuck in those conditions. Rats climb everything. Maybe the rats could smell the ‘sense of death’ and they attacked the baby. I do believe that if she cried or moved, they would have left her alone. This is a sad sad story. I hope this brings light to that community, especially that neighborhood so the city officials can correct it ASAP!!!

And, believe me, I’ve seen mice before, but, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that could climb up into a crib…and I hope I never do…just sad.
