Christian Clark was at home with her two toddlers after her youngest son’s father had gone to work. While he was away, she started sending the dad photos from their afternoon and even a video, when he saw what else it caught and was rightfully repulsed.
Andre Price Jr. left the couple’s apartment in McKeesport, Pennsylvania at about 2:30 p.m. to go to work. Afer he had been gone a while and Clark hadn’t heard from him, she became concerned that he wasn’t on the job and was perhaps someplace else. Reminding him that he’s a dad and should be home with her and the two kids, she sent him a series of photos of the children, namely the son she has with him. Now, she is going to prison for a long time for the sickening secret caught in the shots.
Clark is always concerned that her baby’s daddy is cheating on her, which she’s made evidently clear, as well as he has with previous disturbing pictures he posted on Facebook which she had sent to him. Despite the evidence the first time around, he still didn’t seem to care enough or take her seriously, even though he said weeks before the second text session with her that he posted pictures of the kids online with the caption, “In these two pictures, she is choking them because we ain’t together….”
On November 1, Clark got angry when she began to believe that Price was with another woman and not at work. The two began to argue via dozens of text messages that turned to threats when Clark said, “Ya kids ain’t safe here I don’t want them here” and “Answer me or im going to jail for child endangerment,” WXPI reported. Perhaps Price was preoccupied or didn’t want to deal with her when her written threats turned to photo proof that she was serious about “killing them” as she said in a subsequent message.
Although she sent him photos and even a video of their 17-month-old son’s lifeless body, Price still didn’t seem to find it urgent enough to call the police. After Clark finally called 911 an hour later, police arrived and found their son dead and her 2-year-old daughter holding on for dear life.
Price was horrified at what he chose to ignore. He had been warned before and again that evening, but he still went about his business while his son smothered to death. The 2-year-old girl in the home managed to make it out alive and was released to family members, as both Clark and Price have been charged with crimes in this incident.
Authorities announced this week that they will seek the death penalty for Clark, who has been charged with homicide, attempted homicide, assault, and endangerment charges. Since Price didn’t call 911 after the hours of messages and photos he received, he’s been charged with two counts of felony endangering the welfare of a child.
This woman deserves nothing less than the death penalty and should be put in the prison’s general population until that sentencing comes. Her cellmates may work out the details and save taxpayers a lot of money before her attorney can claim insanity and spare Clark the fate she deserves as well as Price, who had the opportunity to save his son’s life and didn’t.
