Cops Corral Bad Dad In Baby Stabbing

Indiana Police Accuse 30-Year-Old Father Of Knifing 11-Month-Old Son, Tossing Infant Out Of Car

(AP)  A man accused of stabbing his 11-month-old son in the back with a kitchen knife, then throwing the boy out a car window, was caught Friday and will face attempted murder charges.

Kevin Chandler, 30, was captured about 10:45 a.m. in a Lawrence home, an Indianapolis suburb, by police acting on an anonymous tip from a woman.

Officers met no resistance when they arrived to arrest him, said Sgt. Dale Horstman of the Speedway Police Department.

Speedway Police have charged Chandler with attempted murder and aggravated battery in the attack on his son, Devon Chandler.

Chandler was taken to the Lawrence police station and likely would be transferred to downtown Indianapolis to be booked, Speedway police said.

Police say Chandler stabbed Devon and then dumped the boy out the window of the parked car and onto the pavement Wednesday night. Devon was conscious and the knife was still in his back when he was rushed to a hospital for treatment.

The baby underwent surgery at Riley Hospital for Children and was recovering in good condition Friday, police said.

Police believe the incident occurred as Chandler and the boy's mother, Angela Limbrock, were preparing to leave Limbrock's apartment in Speedway, on the west side of Indianapolis, to visit a friend.

The couple were arguing before Limbrock realized the child's car seat was still inside. She handed the baby to Chandler, who was in the back seat, and went to retrieve the seat.

As she got out of the car, she heard Chandler swear at the child and turned around to see him throw Devon out, according to a police report.

Chandler fled the scene, sparking a search that included the FBI and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

Limbrock and Chandler, who are not married and do not live together, have two children. Their other child, a 5-year-old boy, was in the car with Chandler at the time of the attack but escaped before his father drove off.

Chandler has been arrested several times for crimes including domestic battery, auto theft and driving while intoxicated, records show. He served time in an Indiana prison for cocaine possession and carrying an unlicensed firearm near school property, records show.

In 2005, police arrested Chandler after he allegedly kicked Limbrock in the head and body.

I don't know why this shocks me beyond words...how can we, as a society, put so little value on life?? This just breaks my heart...to think that a father could stab his infant son in the back and throw him out the window like garbage...and the police are looking for a MOTIVE...there is NO motive for a 30 yr old man stabbing an 11 mo baby.

What in blazes was the Mother doing with this worthless piece of trash...especially with his record and his assault against her. She should share some of the responsibility because she didn't protect her children from this scumbag...let's see..."she loved him and he promised he wouldn't hit her anymore"...oh, please!! I am so angry...

My heart breaks for this young baby. I don't believe the article said if the 5 yr old in the car was a brother. The authorities need to protect these children since it is obvious the parents don't give a ***...My hope and prayer is that this young boy recovers from this horrific assault and that he will be placed with people that will love and protect him.

[lieber1881]

Track him down, capture him and the "wife", and turn them over to the populace for a public lynching. No trial, no pathetic anal retentive lawyer arguing that the roach had a bad childhood or was too messed up on drugs to know what he was doing. Or that the b*tch was too scared or too manipulated. I really don't care.

Liberal Laws in this country, the laissez faire attitude, and the liberal interpretation of Christianity - forgive the sinner routine has brought this country, or our society to what it is today, to where scum in Minnesota, home of Keith Ellison and Paul Wellstone, can hack off the head of an innocent dog. And what will they get if they're caught? Hmmmm, maybe, just maybe a couple of years in prison.

We need to return to the days of the Earps, of Wild Bild Hickok, of the frontier lawman. Yes, a trial, but a quick one, and if guilt is established, easy with DNA, then immediate execution. IMMEDIATE.

If the ACLU or the do-gooders who hang outside prison gates don't like this, then let's leave this kind of scum alive - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, closely monitored and living with these liberal sh*ts. Let's see how long they will tolerate this. Especially this couple of cockroach sh*t.

[moose49304]

the children should be taken away from the mother also,she is no better if she could not see this coming,sorry to say there are to many women out there that take this *** from there so called better half? then worry about there childen

[nishaboston]

moose49304

You do not know the full story. She could have been the victim of domestic violence. Your statement is stupid!!! If my boyfriend or husband did something to my child that means it is my fault? Stupid stupid statment.

[Ed0719]

Nisha: yes, it is partially the mother's fault. Chandler was arrested previously for domestic battery and other crimes. The mother knowingly put her *** life above the safety of her children by being with this creep. That happens far too often and it needs to change. Women who put up with this sort of thing are partially to blame for the consequences to themselves and to their children.

[rohink-2009]

I am so tired of everybody making excuses. The mother may have been a victim, the father had a drug problem. The only true victims are the innocent children. And as for Lambofgoth, you have issues. The more and more God is removed from our lives the more chaotic our lives become. I have lived 50 years and have seen the downfall of society and as for the authorities protecting the children, the parents need to. Stop having babies when you don't have the means or maturity to raise them to be good human beings. When ever anyone even mentions God or Christianity vile cruel things are said.

[abigail70]

This is such a terrible thing. My heart and prayers go out to that poor baby and his family. No mother wants her child stabbed, regardless of the ridiculous amount of finger-pointing going on.

[jscribe58]

Have you ever been the victim of domestic abuse? Do you think for a minute this woman thought this *** would actually stab this child? Too many women grow up seeing abuse as a way of life - they just don't understand there's a way out of it. Unfortunately, society doesn't protect them enough, because even if they call the cops these guys get at them again.

The animal who stabbed his child should be drawn and quartered. I like the one readers quote that if the Liberals want him to live, he should live with them. Every Liberal needs one of three things happen in their life:
1)A family member killed because an armed person decided they should die and nobody around had the means to stop them.
2) Their daughter having a late term baby born alive.
3)The guy who killed a family member go free because he had a bad childhood.
You'd surely see a few more conservatives in the world.
People should get off the mothers case. The father of her child tried to kill her infant, and she probably hates him as much as you do.

[nena624]

I do not understand the woman in this world! If the man hit you once and according to the above story and reports filed he had already kicked her in the head and body in 2005.....WHY ON EARTH WAS SHE EVEN GIVING HIM THE TIME OF DAY? Why is she with him at her home? Someone please make me understand! Are you tooooooo naive to realize the truth.......he will "NEVER" change. Have more "FAITH" in the man upstairs and he will help you believe in yourself and help you live through life without him. Noone needs anyone else. If he is already abussive.....LEAVE HIM ONCE AND FOR ALL!!! The real victims here as previously said are the children. I TRUELY HAVE NO FEELINGS NOR FEEL SORRY FOR THE MOTHER AT ALL!!! She should have thought of her children form the beginning and forget your personal woman feelings about him.

[proudmama1]

what is wrong with this world, that is an innocent child. My heart is permanently broken by all these stories of child neglect and murder. Especially when parents is behind the whole thing. An 11 month old baby depends soley on you for love,nurturing and PROTECTION from harm. They have no chance of survival on their own. I pray that this man pays dearly for his actions and this baby finds a home with people who will love and care for him the way he deserves.
-Ugh! This just makes me sick!!!!!

i too do not understand how someone who has helped bring a child into the world could hurt it. What's more frustrating, these crimes are getting more and more violent toward the young.


shouldn't we do some sort of screening before we allow people to give birth? I hate to say that, but some of these children are with evil people and not everyone should be allowed to have a child.

No, we cant. Were not China.But we can hold this man completely and utterly accountable. Some would say that a case like this warrants the death penalty. But I say death is far to kind for him. Let him go to prison for the rest of his life where he will have to be kept in solitary confinement for ever. Because you know that he would be killed the moment he was place in general population. Then, after a long miserable exsistance, let him die and go to hell. Am I being judgemental? Kind of hard not to in this situation.

[ameryan]

Yes! If a mother has ANY reason to suspect her boyfriend or husband may harm her children, then she has a responsibility to protect them and get out. At the very least, get the kids out. If she fails, then she is partly, if not pretty close to equally, responsible. I do understand the cycle of violence and poverty. I have been there. And I got out, and got my kids to safety. Bottom line. A mother has a huge responsibility to protect her kids. Even more so if that father is a loser and a danger.

[reel-crazy]

I can only hope the FBI plans on shooting to kill on sight of this deranged waste of space.

If not, they can drop him off at my place tonight and my poker buddies and I will deal him aces and eights....

[nishaboston]

Some of you people should have some compassion for Domestic Violence victims. You think it is easy to just pick up and leave. No it is not!!!!!!!! Until you walk in a victims shoes who the heck are you to judge that person? There could be many reasons why that women decided not to leave. It is easy for you to say she should have done this and done that, but it might not be easy for her to actually do it.

Ok I agree I am VERY ANGRY and UPSET with the fact that the father of this little baby could do this to this child. But you guys are judging the mother in this case. She handed her son to his father so she could get his car seat. If she knew he was going to do that to her baby I am sure she would have never handed her son too him. I am going through a bad thing myself with my newborn daughter's father. I refuse to let him see her do to the verbal abuse he started with my 3 children (that are not his) when I was pregnant. Cut the mom a little slack her she is going through enough with what happened to her son. and by the grace of god that man will rot in hell the rest of his life. I agree with NavyCheif8 "Let him go to prison for the rest of his life where he will have to be kept in solitary confinement for ever."

[caliopejade]

AMEN!!!!! to Navychief8, proudmama1,rohink & Lieber1881!! I too adamantly believe that anyone who harms a child in ANY way, deserves to fry without a trial. Their death should be painful, imminent and immediate! I do not want my tax dollars going to support these wastes of skin with a life sentence, where they will appeal and get out on a technicality! Did their victims get that??? Poor sweet baby.

[agnim]

Drugs! Drugs! Drugs!

The drugs damage brains.

The drugs increase the amount of insanity in the nation.

The drugs cause the maniacal perpetrators to increase violence at home and kill hundreds of thousands abroad.

Drugs, the scourge of brains and of America!

Legalize marijuana so we can have even more insane Americans running around violently. NOT!

[hambonehd]

Fire at first sight, this piece of *** has no rights.

[mswolfestock]

I'd rather have this sick individual be put to death - why should all of us pay our taxes to feed this guy when the children of law-abiding citizens are going hungry. Either shoot him, fry him in the electric chair, or put him in the exercise yard in any maximum-security facility. And yes, I agree with regulations for breeding. Every other part of society is regulated already. You need training and a license to drive a car, fly a plane, become a nurse, etc. so why shouldn't we have to have training and apply for a permit to breed? This would also save lots of money (for working people) - welfare people wouldn't be able to keep breeding just to get more food stamps and AFDC, and it's likely we would also be solving the chronic problem of over-crowded prisons.

the problem with this line of thinking is that is how inocent people get killed. If you have a shoot on sight mentality, you are going to pull the trigger on the first person who even resmbles the perp. So you do, and you kill the wrong guy. He has a family and kids, did nothing wrong. Now there is another set of inocent people who ar suffering.

So no! Catch him, try him, put him away where he will lowly go insane and die a broken person. Then, God can deal with him by sending him to hell!

P.S. if he resists, or tries to flee, or pulls a weapon, then its game on for the police!

Does it always have to be about money? Remember, when you die you can't take it with you. So don't get to wrapped up in the dollar.

[armjdm]

Let's have some compassion for this mother. This poor baby does not need to lose both parents. She needs counseling and parenting classes so she can make the best of a really bad situation. She may need some job skill training as well. She needs to know that God is in the business of changing lives. He is an awesome husband to the husbandless and father to the fatherless. Those of you who are passing judgement on her, what have you done to help her? How can you be Jesus to her?

About this business of making people apply to be parents. Do you really want the government in charge of your private decisions? What if they determine that you are an unfit parent because of the beliefs you hold? Do you really want to go there? Adoption is a wonderful option for people who can't or won't take care of their children. It is a truly loving option.

[toldyouso21]

Part 1


People are asking how could the father do this and how could the mom let this happen--especially since she had a history with him and his violence....

When you grow up with violence and are continually surrounded by it--you tend to think of it as normal and acceptable. They see the world through a prism of justifications that act as a smokescreen and buffer --this buffer never allows them to accept or often, even push for a change in their environment and mentally they make excuses for why things happen, why they are justified, why it was not that bad..and why it should continue.

On a private level, it is the main reason women who had abusive fathers or parents will often seek out similar situations subconsciously as they get older. They want what they know and they mistakenly think they can "fix" it--unlike the impotency they had as child victims. Once in, they resort to the ostritch syndrome and defense mechanisms they developed as children and few run away--unless there is a lot of outside influence and something in them changes and can listen to outsiders.

[toldyouso21]

Part 2 Why did she stay?

On a public level, it is why we accepted no true justification for traveling thousands of miles to kill people in a sovereign country. WE tell ourselves we "saved or rescued them" but since they never asked for our 'help or rescue' and we killed many just to be there-- we know we were really just deadly busybodies that have caused the death of hundreds of thousands (just by destabilizing and our bombs and guns)

We tried people for torture and later practice the same techniques and say our reasons for it are different and justified. We kill, create mayhem, lie, spin and yet we tell ourselves it is not our fault, we are their only hope--and we see the war, our actions and their and our own deaths through different smokescreens and buffers. We forget we set in all in motion in the first place. Imagine that, the person who harms you and wrecks your country is your only hope....

It would be like this little baby needing an organ and the daddy who tried to kill him being the only possible donor--imagine the irony, the horror, the sickness of such a twist in events--now imagine the dad seeing himself as the hero and conveniently ignoring WHY the baby needs a new organ, and who caused the mess in the first place.

[toldyouso21]

part 3 "he beat her, how could she leave her kids with him?"

So in a nutshell--humans become enured to violence and never realize how horrendous and awful, depraved and stupid, violent and sick their actions OR the environment/times they created are--until it is over. It happens to women everyday, it happened to Germany in WWI and WWII and it will happen to us when we finally leave Iraq and future generations review what we did, why we did it, how we justify it, etc.

If you are alive 20 years from now. be prepared for the disgusted looks, the horror and the questions: how could America have done this? What were we thinking? How could we justify torture? and be prepared for answers similar to Germans after WWII----'it was the times we were in', you don't understand what those people meant to do to us' 'we were just following orders' 'I was against it' 'we did not mean to do all of that' 'things just got out of hand' 'they made us do it'

Synopsis of why an abused woman places her kids in harms way and never understands that if he will hurt her, he will hurt them also.

Synopsis of why a country places other countries who did nothing to them in harms way and how they can go down the road of human depravity and pretend they have a halo.

Posted by armjdm at 09:46 AM : Mar 16, 2007

I agree with much of what you wroe but know that adoption is no panacea. Many adopted children are horrendously sexually, physically and mentally abused, there are many records of this. Suffice to say it is a *** shoot--whether your biological parents are monsters or those who buy babies are monsters. It is a fallacy to imagine adoptive parents must really love and want children and so, would never harm them. Some not only harm them---they kill them, torture them, etc just like other people.

[zootallures2]

The police wont have to do a thing. He will have his time in Prison when the other inmates get to him. They do not like baby killers, molesters, or abusers. So he better get ready for the real abuse.

There has never been any proof the Marijuana causes violence. Why do you think the Indians smoked it in their peacepipes. The last thing you are concerned with when "high" is violence. More likely they were wondering if there was any buffalo hump stew left.
Please do us all a favor and shut up. We are sick of you and your cr@p!

[godseyesore-2009]

Sentry88:
AMEN. Anyone who abuses weaker individuals, especially children, should be treated to same and locked up FOREVER. But would it happen? No way. US "justice" system protects proven perps over victims by allowing them back on streets, or not even jailing them in first place. Oh, we say, they deserve a second chance...they can do better. Who buys that ***? They have already condemed and negatively affected the lives of others through their willful actions, and nothing will change that. Get rid of such scum. Permanently.

[hypnotoad72]

It's an evil act and I agree the mofo who did this atrocious act deserves to be locked up with the worst of them...

A pity they couldn't give up the kid to an adoption agency instead...

Mind you, there are a lot of crackpots out there who think the world is going to end. So, for a moment, I'll appease that lot and say "Then surely the toddler is better off dead?"

Interesting you should post that. The man already has spent time in Prison. While it is true inmates do not like child molesters or abusers, it is also true that many predators in society are also ssexual predators and abusers in prison. He already knows what to expect, already having had a stint. It would be no surprise to learn he rapes men and beats them in prison also..... too bad he cannot get the death penalty or life with no chance of parole--he's obviously depraved.

[rohink-2009]

I think that is some pretty scary stuff. We don't need more Government regulations. Anybody read Orwell? Why don't we spend more time trying to be good human beings, doing the right thing, excepting responsibility for our actions, quite blaming everyone else. Teach or young children morals. There really is a right and wrong, good and evil. Equip our childrent with strong sense of self. Don't have children until you are married and are commited to raising them properly.

[bildooreilly]

Now I could agree with some Saudi Arabian style justice for this evil idiot. Let the public stone him to death.

[toldyouso21]

rohink: the problem with live and let live and everyone "just trying to be decent human beings" is many just won't. They will continue to fail to care for and raise their kids, thus ensuring your children and children's children will be their victims. Dahmers and Gacys and Bundys and this man do not grow up in a vacuum. Why reference 1984, we crossed that line when we allowed government to torture, wiretap, propagandize and when many want it to control women's bodies and who can have *** with who. Why does "1984" scare people sooooo much and yet they live with shades of it daily and never even notice it?

Never implied that marijuana causes violence.

Your mind's (or what's left of it) prolly filled with too smoke, right? LOL

Marijuana weakens Nervous System.

A weaken Nervous System gives a perp LESS CONTROL over his violent tendencies/behavior!
Seen that scenario played time and again with marijuana smokers.

Just been made aware of an account recently, in which a university student got high and stab his marijuana smoking buddy to death.
He is filled with disbelief and regret now that he's more sober and in JAIL for a long time, and with no marijuana to soothe his aching mind. LOL

No you did not say it, but it was implied. When people fail to realize that one of government's roles are to enforce or dictate behavior for the good of society when individuals either can't or won't--then the implication is live and let live. (or keep government out of personal business) face it, we cannot have it both ways. If people want government to force women to have babies, then they must by extension also decide who is capable of having or raising that baby to ensure that it lives--otherwise to force a means but not dictate the end means babies will continue to be born to either be loved, respected, or tortured, abused and killed. If you want cake, you have to accept that sugar is not the only ingredient. We never had live and let live--or "decent people just doing the right thing. We always had a society of misfits, with some getting it right, most trying to find out what right is and a sizeable portion not really giving a d@mn what right ever was.

I hope her eyes are finally, permanently open and that her children are okay.
