Police and ambulance responded to a home on a 911 call for unresponsive two year old Darisabel. They found Darisabel lying on the floor lifeless. Darisabel had been beaten for hours with a cord and video game controller by her mother’s boyfriend, screaming the entire time for her mother Neida Baez to help, only to have her mother ignore her cries.  Why did this mother ignore the dying cries of this child, well she was afraid she would lose her boyfriend, she allowed him to beat her daughter to death with a video game controller. She did nothing to stop the abuse in fear he wouldn’t want to be with her. Really, come on does this monster really mean more to you than your own child? You give Darisabel life and you aren’t going to do anything while your boyfriend takes it way? 

Darisabel, was brought to the Hershey Medical Center and placed in the critical care unit where she remained in a vegetative state on life support with multiple injuries, with serious injuries to her brain.  Darisabel’s wounds were widespread and severe, including visible bruises, marks and lacerations to her head, back and body, as well as injuries to the brain, chest, heart, liver, neck, extremities and vagina, with the amount of beating being so extensive, it was indicative of torture.  She never regained any kind of consciousness and died from her injuries. 

 

Neida Baez admitted that she knew her boyfriend had been beating her daughter for months. Baez plead guilty to third degree murder for failing to intervene while Johnson was beating her daughter to death, and will serve a sentence of ten years. Harve Johnson will sit on death row and wait for his sentence to be carried out. Johnson’s official execution date is September 10, 2013.
