" April 7th is in 20 more days. I hope she keeps the same judge. He denied lowering the bail and now the charges will be posted. If all 17 counts stick, she is going bye! bye! for a long time. She will spend the rest of her natural life thinking about what she did. She is "

" H. TURNER What I got from your blog is that the child was mentally disturbed or somehow may have deserved what he got? It does not matter what the child's situation was. It matters that he was abused, starved, and deprived an eduction. I know that is your "cousin" but really? If she is innocent, why is she still in jail. Why hasn't her "family" posted bond? I know her parents own a home and boats. Be real with yourself and this situation. Justice will prevail on April 7th. "




H. Turner wrote on Mar 17, 2010 9:44 PM:

" Most of you people already have place judgment. What I learned from “therapeutic foster care parent.” is how important it is to know the full history of these kids. The courts will seal their court records. Even at the age of 10, these kids come with serious mental issues. My main question is “where was the CPS caseworker, who should have conducted home visits.” Documentation and communicating with CPS is very important. Based on personal experience, not every child is suitable for foster care. Keep your head up, your cousin. "

" To Crystal it is obvious that you are a member of the Andrews family or a very close relative. I understand that you are defending your child, but what she did to that little boy is sickening and inexcusable. There is nothing that you can do or say in her defense the evidence speaks for itself and it's very compelling. What's your excuse about the evidence they have against her? Is that all a lie to? What did mean when said there is more????? NO ONE DESERVES TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY THAT LITTLE BOY!!!!! "




UNBELIEVABLE wrote on Mar 16, 2010 9:41 PM:

" To Crystal you say that Tammy is innocent of these charges...How do you know this??? If she is so innocent why is she in jail. Who shot the little boy with the bb gun? Why wasn't he taken to the hospital? Why was he being fed by a neighbor everyday? Why was his body covered in bruises and scars that matched weapons that were found in her home? Why was he taken out of school and never home schooled? Why are you covering for her? Did you know this was going on all along? "

" this message is for crystal, you say you have known the andrews family, well alot of other folks in town do to.this is not a reflexion on herman or BB, this is all tammy. every family has a bad apple in it but you dont need to bring up the race issue. You also claim the alligations were false against her, as a formeer police officer, i know that if there wasnt sufficient evidence against her she would not have been arrested to begin with. so lets face the facts here.! "

" what that lady did was just a shocker an i think for her age she should really no better.but im not juging any one..what i think they should do to her is they should lock her up and throw away the key because i bet thats how that kid felt,and if i had the chance to see that little boy i would hug him..because its already bad enough the following things he went through before he was with tammy...ohh but what do i know im only twelve years old??????????????????????????????? "




justbreathe wrote on Mar 15, 2010 5:59 PM:

" I agree with KARMA one hundred percent because you guys cant keep trying to defend tammy for her actions yea its always "innocent untill proven guilty" shes guilty guilty and ill say it again guilty how can someone be so cruel to that child what did he ever do besides want a home and a family to love him...she couldnt even give him that..she tortured bounded beaten his poor soul.and sentence her self to a life time in hail. She deserves maximum sentence and im sorry if this offends others its coming from my heart.. "




This is sad wrote on Mar 15, 2010 12:41 AM:

" This is sad They only take the childern for the money. So what is it going to take the blood of other childern , before CPS and The Police come to help them. But because THE ABUSERS have strong roots in the town that makes it ok . Know that should not give them the right hurt childern. CPS and the POLICE are not doing ther JOBS!!!!! I PRAY THAT GOD HELPS THIS LITTLE BOY. AND THE OTHER CHILDERN IN THIS TOWN THAT ARE CRYING OUT!!! "




Unbeleiveable wrote on Mar 12, 2010 5:34 PM:

" It's a real shame that she could show so much love for her children and not the little boy that she legally adopted as her own. To think that this child is her own blood relative...How could she be so cruel??? If this child was so bad and horrible why didn't you just give him to another family member or back to the state. If the child was as bad as everyone says he was he did not deserve to be beat or tortured by anyone. That child has been through so much all he needed was some motherly love...... "




In Total Disbelief wrote on Mar 12, 2010 5:21 PM:

" I have known Tammy for a long time and I am shocked that she would do something this horrible to a 10 year old child???? I just wonder what she was going through or what kind of drug she was on that made her snap like this? I feel so much empathy for that little boy and her children because they are the ones who are really suffering in all of this. Those children and the family are in my prayers as well as Tammy. I hope that everything works out to bennifit those childeren. "




SHOCKER wrote on Mar 12, 2010 1:07 PM:

" Let's wait until April the 7th when it all goes down. At that point, we will see who is left blogging. I can assure you it won't be Crystal. She can spend the rest of her natural life being Tammy's pen pal. Justice will prevail. I so believe in the justice system. I know the family does so let's just wait and see.
Can't wait until April 7th. "

WAKE UP wrote on Mar 12, 2010 10:20 AM:

" Who made this about WHO HER FAMILY IS? This is not about her family, this is ALL ABOUT HER AND WHAT SHE IS ACCUSED OF DOING TO THIS 10 YEAR OLD CHILD. Please just wake up people. I do not know her at all and when she was arrested I had to be told who her family is. Someone needs to held accountable and she is the ONE. This is what she chose when she became a FOSTER PARENT. "




JUST SICK wrote on Mar 12, 2010 9:00 AM:

" This is really a very sad situation. For the child, not Tammy. The State of Arizona/CPS makes you jump through hoops to become a foster parent, I know because I jumped through those hoops before to care for a family member. I to this day am no longer a foster parent because the hoops are to many. Someone well known as the Andrews, did she have to jump through the same hoops? I doubt it.

You are appointed to care for these children, NOT ABUSE THEM! "




crystal wrote on Mar 11, 2010 9:14 PM:

" First and foremost no one certainly not me is implying that all residences of Safford and Thatcher are racist THOUGH I heave myself encountered numerous incidences of racism toward minorities there. The Andrew family has strong roots in Safford that's exactly why they never left. You make a great point by stating that BB and Herman are decent and prominent people and I believe that Tammy will prove herself to be the same when all this is over. "




KARMA wrote on Mar 11, 2010 8:49 PM:

" PLEASE EXPLAIN TOO ME WHY THAT CHILD WAS COVERD IN BRUISES AND HAD MARKS ALL OVER HIS BODY WEAPONS WAS FOUND IN HER HOME THAT MATCHED THE MARKS ON HIS BODY!!!!!! SHE NEEDS TO ACCEPT HER PUNISHMENT AND TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT SHE DID THE LITTLE BOY IS IN MY PRAYERS!!!! TAMMY WENT TOO FAR JUSTICE NEEDS TOO BE SERVED PLS DONT LET THIS BE SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET LIKE THE OTHERS WERE!!!!! MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON HER SOUL "




Innocent until proven guilty wrote on Mar 11, 2010 7:22 PM:

" Correction: The women is sitting in jail because SHE IS ACCUSED OF those things, not because it has been proven that she did them. The arrest and bond are appropriate due to the allegations, which may or may not be true. Have respect for the Andrews family and wait for the outcome before you pass judgment. This is a very difficult time for everyone involved and the rest of her family is not held accountable for her actions so have some compassion. "




SHOCKER wrote on Mar 11, 2010 7:11 PM:

" I am so sadden by the racial inplication from Crystal. If Safford is such a racist place, why the HE** has the Andrew family lived there all their lives? BB was/is a teacher and Hermain is Deputy Chief PO. How is that discriminating? Do not use race when it is convient for you. "




KARMA wrote on Mar 11, 2010 7:03 PM:

" I hope they don't give her no less than 20 years. For all the hurt and pain she has caused this child.
I am sure this is not her first victim. I heard she treated her biologiical children like kings and queens. Took the money she got for torturing this child and spent it on them. This kid never got anything new. She was a lazy and did not want to work. Prior to taking this young child in, she was a welfare mother. Both of her biological children's fathers abandoned them. "




SHOCKER wrote on Mar 11, 2010 4:59 PM:

" I totally agree with Jamaica. I can tell you this, you reap what you sew. I keep hearing she won't get much time because this is her first offense. Her family has influence in this City and County. I hope politics don't get the best of this case. I hope they move it to another county. I hope Maricopa. Sheriff Joe don't play that.
Someone has to have a voice for this little boy "




TO LIL MIS CRYSTAL wrote on Mar 11, 2010 10:19 AM:

" If she is SO innocent and such a "good mother" why my dear Crystal is she being held on 100k bond. The women charge with the following:
4 counts: Aggravated Assault with a Weapon or Deadly Instrument
1 count: Aggravated Assault entering a Residence
3 counts: Aggravated Assault on an Adult or Minor
1 count: Kidnaping that resulted in Death/Injury/Torture and Failure
6 counts: Child or Vulnerable Adult Abuse
Case # J-0501-CR-2010076
Get a clue the women is sitting in jail because she STABBED, SHOT, NEGLECTED, BEAT and STARVED a little ten year old boy!!! "




crystal wrote on Mar 11, 2010 12:52 AM:

" TO Jamacia - Theres a lot that you don't know, but if you have any question or concerns YOU should address the ANDREW FAMILY. The pulblic must know that i am on the family side because i know the situation and the family. Once again i will say address the family and things will be clear. if you must know the answer to your question is??? You just guess what i am gonna say. I am done with the agurment with safford citizens..... Get the facts correct first... "

" OMGGG!!!! THIS IS SO CRAZY WHY WOULD ANYBODY WANT TO HURT A LITTLE CHILD IF YOU GONE DO THAT YOU SHOULD JUST GIVE THE CHILD UP TO SOMEBODY THAT CAN CARE FOR IT AND LOVE IT UNCONDITIONALLY.AND YES IM 14 BUT STILL KNOW ALL ABOUT IT "

" WHO SHOT HIM IN THE TUMMY????? DID HE SHOOT HIMSELF???? WHO PUT THE SACK ON HIS HEAD AND PUT ALL THE BRUISES ON HIM ????? DID HE??? WHY WERE HIS BOOKS UP IN THE CLOSET AND HIM NOT DOING HOMEWORK?? WHY DID TAMMY TAKE HIM OUT OF SCHOOL AFTER TEACHERS REPORTED THEIR FINDINGS TO CPS??? WHY WAS HE OUTSIDE LOOKING FOR FOOD IF HE WAS FED PROPERLY AT HOME??? If you call this good parenting then I feel sorry for your kids if you have any. "




crystal wrote on Mar 10, 2010 2:49 AM:

" To The public - The real individuals the love the family please pray her and her famliy, that includes the 10 yr old child cause thats her family also.

Pray that CPS will continue to do their job.

To the Andrew family- you will always be in my prayer. Keep God First in Everything that you do. God will make a way. I love ya'll honestly just as if you where my family. Stay strong, God will make a way!!! "




crystal wrote on Mar 10, 2010 2:41 AM:

" I wrote comment responding to you " Rhonda". The newspaper refused to let it be shown. I was very respectfully i believe. To answer your comment, I m not an child abuser. I am a mother that cares.. I hope that you do the same and and not look at the picture as this is a 10 year old boy. You and the public need to look at the picture and ask about the situation clearly. YOU should ask the family since you known them since 1983. "




crystal wrote on Mar 9, 2010 4:25 PM:

" There has been a lot of talk about this and that fake individual claiming to love the family and are " Snakes in a Grass " Children are to be loved and that child had love and still has love. The public had " No Idea " about how it all started. The day of here arrest he had broke into a the neighbor the paper did not Say that or DID NOT know." That child had a lot of love and was not getting abused either . "




Rhonda wrote on Mar 8, 2010 9:18 PM:

" I have children who are not mine, and I also have children of my own. I am a very strict person who teaches ALL my children (mine or not) morals & respect. With out abuse. They will go to school and get an education, and they are learning the value of a dollar. There is no child abuse going on in my house. My boys will not walk the streets, stealing, vandalizing or any thing against the law because if i find out .. I WILL TURN THEM IN MYSELF. Kids need tuff love not abuse. "




Rhonda wrote on Mar 8, 2010 9:10 PM:

" Real smart of CPS. huh.. Maybe they need to talk to the children in question. and maybe.. just maybe if they listen very carefully.... they might find answers. THAT'S THE PROBLEM.... NOBODY LISTENS TO A CHILD WHO IS REACHING OUT FOR HELP.

That's right... she turned herself in after she got caught.

Prayers from the heart to the little boy. and for Tammy.. what she did was wrong... if she had turned in how bad the little boy supposedly was things may be different. But nothing was recorded. "




Rhonda wrote on Mar 8, 2010 9:03 PM:

" Tammy had responsibilities, she was getting paid from our taxes to protect and raise this little boy--- not abuse him!! Why were'nt her or your allegations reported? She never said nothing because she didn't want her punching bag taken away from her... right. This little boy will be scared for the rest of his life, afraid and not trust an honest person thanks to Tammy. Maybe your child shoud have been in her care. CPS needs to get their act together. They send kids to people who don't want them but pretend they do----then they treat them like animals.. con't. "




Rhonda wrote on Mar 8, 2010 8:57 PM:

" I got to work with Tammy's dad BB. I have known them since1984, and i like these people. I don't know BB to be an abuser, so how Tammy got to be such a person is beyond me. BB and the rest of him family are a very decent family. But Tammy obvioulsly needs time to heal. To the person who posted "the public" you must be a child abuser and a coward. What could this child of 10 years old have done to Tammy to deserve the abuse he got.? HE IS A CHILD FOR GODS SAKE...!! con't... "

" I ve know her every since i became a student at E.A. She had many children under her care. I DO NOT believe all if these false allegations against her at all. She has cared for my sons since birth. Resident that live in thatcher and safford has left their children in her care, how can individuals that a residents say such horriable things. She's from safford and a proud resident and a wonderful mother. Then again that is Safford Az home of, well we know already. I will pray for her always and her family. "
