*The trial hearing has beenfinally set June 11, 2012*  The defendant fired her public defender and the new lawyer has plead for more time. Do not worry: justice will be served > the lack of plea bargain acceptance only means jail was offered and she turned it down.  The judge will throw the book at her surely now once she is convicted.  He is a good judge and wise he is  avoiding a mistrial by taking all precautions to ensure her rights. He is well seasoned and has an excellent record of outstanding service in Hernando County! 
#   UPDATE: Sadly Dexter passed in Early August 2011 from his injuries constant and uncontrollable seizures set upon the poor kitten at that date... two months.after the attack.... Kind diligent  Veterinarian had no choice:  no treatment.for trauma to brain like he had.. but mercy through euthanasia!
This petition will not close but live on as Dexter didn't make it! To let his death not be in Vain
the sad story below.....
 **The court  has extended hearing date until April 13th *** She fired her public defenderand new lawyer is  requesting even more time to gather depositions from uncooperative witnesses to the crime in the park. This extension is granted to insure prosecution of the monster. Failure to allow them 'adequate time' to impose sanctions and obtain depositions from uncooperative witnesses could be basis for a successful appeal to win the 'monster mom' her freedom in case of certain conviction!  Patience: justice wheels sometimes grind slow but surely will put her in jail where she belongs!

* No plea deal has beeen done with a slap on the wrist and no jail time! Trial for the Monster Mom! Jail is certain sentence as she has no defense based on eyewitness accounts of her crime by ten children and at least one adult. Her boyfriend's sister testified she saw her with a baseball bat beating kittens .  Thanks to all of you signing and watching!

June 8,2011 Brookesville,Florida ...a public park ..Newspaper story link at end of this horrific account!
At 8 weeks old, a small black and white kitten named Dexter is lucky to be alive after his owner and her two young sons took him to a neighborhood park and beat him and another kitten with an aluminum bat. Dexter is clinging to life, but his brother died as a result of his injuries.

Four children at a park in Brooksville, Florida watched in horror last Friday evening when they saw 24-year-old Wilana Joenel Frazier and her two sons -- one 8 years old and the other 5 -- torture the two small kittens.

Demand justice for the tortured kittens.

Frazier hit the kittens with a baseball bat and encouraged her children to kick the animals and throw them against a tree. Then they placed the kittens on a swing. When one of the animals died, the boys put him in a trash can and covered him with water.

By the time Linda Christian, a Hernando County Animal Services officer, arrived on the scene little Dexter had been rescued and wrapped in a white T-shirt by one of the boys who witnessed the event. Blood was running from the kitten's nose and mouth. Soon he began to have seizures from the trauma to his brain.

When Christian touched the kitten, he began to convulse. Christian told the St. Petersburg Times, "I thought I was going to lose him at that point. It was very upsetting."

Christian rushed Dexter to the Pet Luv Nonprofit Spay and Neuter Clinic and miraculously the small ball of fur has survived the first few critical days. Employees at the clinic care for him during the day and a veterinary technician has been taking him home each night.  

Dexter is able to keep his medication down, is eating from a feeding tube and has started to walk a little on his own. But veterinarians are still very concerned about potential damage to Dexter's brain and are not sure if he will ultimately succumb to his injuries.
Rick Silvani, president of Pet Luv said, "All animals have a right to life, but a helpless, defenseless kitten... You don't know what to say. It's just incomprehensible." The group has agreed to cover the costs of Dexter's medical care.

The Hernando County Sheriff's Office questioned Frazier, but she denied being involved and said her children were not part of the beating either. However authorities charged Frazier on two counts of cruelty to animals and two charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She is out of jail on $3,500 bail.

Dexter has died

The Veterinarian’s assistant posted this on his FB page
Dexter's seizures did not stop and through it the pain and suffering became more evident. It is with very heavy heart that I share with you our little Dexter has crossed over the rainbow bridge. Without being able to stabilize him it became clear that there were no realistic treatment options. There are many cats that can live long happy lives and still have seizures, but with his being because of the head trauma inflicted on him, his was a different story. His life, although way too short, touched thousands of people and hopefully our little furry fighter also raised awareness.... if a 2 pound kitty can bring about so much support just think of what one human can do. Please continue to pay it forward and if someone asks why, tell them it's because of Dexter. I am so very sorry to have to share this news, it has been my honor to be able to provide updates, pictures/ videos and walk you through his story.  At this time I ask that you please join me in thanking Tiffany and her family for giving little Dexter a life of happiness and endless love. -   See More

Kitten that had been beaten succumbs to seizures

Dexter, the kitten that survived being beaten in a Hernando County park east of Brooksville, succumbed to seizures and was euthanized Monday, two months after the attack, at 16 weeks old.
BROOKSVILLE — Perhaps Hernando County's most famous and beloved resident — Dexter the kitten — died Monday, just two months after authorities say a pregnant woman and her two young sons beat and tortured the animal in a county park.

After the attack on him June 10, Dexter suffered seizures as a result of head trauma. For a time, those subsided, and he seemed to improve. He wobbled when he walked, and sometimes his tiny paws dragged against the ground. He was also partially blind, but doctors thought his chances to survive were good.

"He had a window of time where he was just a crazy, happy, goofy kitten," said Cathy Fitzgerald, manager at PetLuv Nonprofit Spay and Neuter Clinic in Brooksville, where Dexter had been cared for since the abuse. "It was wonderful. He lived life to the fullest."

Thousands of people on at least five continents closely followed his recovery. On its Facebook page, PetLuv had posted videos of Dexter's progress. The page's "likes" jumped from about 400 pre-Dexter to more than 3,000 as of this week. People had heard of him in places as far away as Uruguay, Laos and Oman.

Recently, however, his seizures returned. They were only occasional and brief until late Sunday night. By Monday morning, they became constant and showed no signs of stopping. Soon after, doctors euthanized him. Dexter was 16 weeks old.

"You could tell he was in pain. He was so scared," Fitzgerald said. "I'm heartbroken."

His now-viral story began at Hill 'n Dale Park, east of Brooksville, that afternoon in June. There, Hernando County sheriff's deputies say, Wilana Joenel Frazier, 24, beat a pair of kittens with a metal baseball bat and then allowed her two boys — one then 8 years old and the other 5 years old— to continue the torture. Four young witnesses told investigators that the boys kicked the animals, threw them and tried to slice open one's neck with a stick.

At the bottom of a trash can, one kitten died. Dexter lived.

Frazier, who has received hundreds of angry letters, adamantly denied touching the kittens and said the accusations have ruined her life.

About 1 p.m. that day, her fiance, Willie Bates, went to play in a basketball tournament at the park. Frazier avoided the heat and came to watch about 5 p.m.

Her sons and about 10 other kids saw a pair of kittens and ran off to play with them, Frazier said. She approached the children and told her boys to leave the kittens alone because they could be diseased.

About 7 p.m., she said she left with her kids. Two hours later, she heard that a deputy in the neighborhood wanted to speak with her older son, so Frazier drove him over. When the two were interviewed, both denied harming the kittens.

A short time later, she was arrested on two charges of cruelty to animals and two charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The case against Frazier is still in its early stages, said Assistant State Attorney Jason Smith. Her next court date is scheduled for Sept. 2.

More than 38,000 people have signed an online petition demanding that Frazier be prosecuted to the law's fullest extent.

John Woodrow Cox can be reached at jcox@sptimes.com or (352) 848-1432.

#Her own sister inlaw  has testified against her and said she saw too!

*The defendant has also replaced her Facebook picture with that of a cat and posted 'no regrets'! A flagrant lack of remorse, and confession of guilt that slaps the American Justice System in the face! Somewhat as a challenge and sign of disrespect.  Not a wise move as lawyer friends have noted and could could nix a plea deal! If it was known as Public Knowledge...as it was  posted freely on a social network:  It has since been removed but Facebook responds to subpoenas.

 

*Please understand why the Court appearance was continued to advantage of this to extend their discovery time so as to solidify the case against Ms. Frazier.
I will update this petition as the case progresses and even during and afterward to follow and gather support for Stiff Felony laws throughout the civilized world. Let Dexter and his brother not die in vain, but as martyrs for the cause of Animal Rights. I owe that much to avenge the deaths of innocent animals happening everyday!

 

The fine newspaper reporter from story above, (Mr. Cox) has promised an update story, as soon as he gets the Discovery!
The case against the defendant seems to be very strong! Hopefully with the help of all of you kindred spirits, she will face severe penalties for her crimes! The Hernando State Attorney is doing their job well and resources are being deployed to make a full discovery of all of the facts and nuances of this horrible act of cruelty! 

They will continue to be transmitted as the case proceeds and it will remain open!
A CD was used with pdf. files to ease the burden on this small State Attorney Office, so as to ease their complex job in sharing Discovery and prosecuting the case. Care2 was concerned the large volume might crash the server there at the small branch Office. This way it facilitates the Assistants job, which is desirable. Every new thousand signatures will be sent by similar CD's to update the petition at the State Attorneys Office. The link below was provided by a signer and was of interest to the State Attorneys office...it was also included in the hand delivered CD.

You understand the additions and updates I put on petition I am enraged beyond comprehension and desire vengeance for Dexter!
He was a seven toed kitty... one of the Hemingway cats given away from That famous mans old house in Key West ( who are cared for as provided by his will and a colony still lives there today (my home town) People still can adopt them today if lucky enough ...Ernest H. brought them from Hong Kong! They all drink from an urinal from the original Sloppy Joes bar (not the tourist trap of present day (its been cleaned and installed by Ernest many years ago..)
the six and seven toed trait is dominant though not all of the cats (approximately 50 living there) are not extra toed!
Dexter was obviously a descendant of a Hemingway Cat!  Who was loved and adopted from the Hemingway House in Key West. He deserved love not hatred fortunately he got some from Tiffany and her family before he died....

Yes, I want little Dexter's memory to live on and for the world to know that this precious little kitten was a life, a soul and will be an angel for other animals suffering everywhere. For a MOTHER to teach a child to torture and inflict suffering on an innocent is reprehensible. She should be locked away and made an example of to all with cruelty in their hearts. She deserves as much mercy as she showed those kittens. This story will not die, and no one will forget what that monster has done, not only to little Dexter, but to her own kids. NO LENIENCY. That woman is a hazard to society and should never be allowed to see the light of day again. Little Dexter will never be forgotten. He is a symbol of good over evil.

I absolutely believe the laws should be stricter and be a definite jail sentence for any person who abuses any animal, child or elderly whether it's their first offense or not and whether it's just verbal or physical it should be automatic jail sentence. Maybe then it would come to a stop. If you send me a link for friends to sign this petition for her to get the max sentence I absolutely will without hesitation send to everyone I know on Facebook, Yahoo and Twitter. I have started a cause on Facebook that any person who abuses an animal should be on a register list and available to any and all persons who sell and/or give away an animal including a gold fish so that then if a person who did neglect and/or abuse an animal never again could get any animal. I hope you'll sign my cause and send me information on how to get that law actually legal. Thanks so much and good luck with your petition.

This is appalling,cruel and disgusting behavior. The mother deserves the harshest sentence allowed by law. The children should be taken away from there mother temporarily until she gets some help and proves that she is a fit mother who has some morals. The children need therapy, to teach them about animal cruelty and this is not a normal way of life. Please prosecute this woman to the full extent of the law. As a responsible pet owner we need to start making examples out of people who commit crimes like this. MAYBE that is when people will stop this kind of sick behavior.Her picture needs to be put up everywhere so other people can see who this cruel woman is. Anyone who abuses animals should get the same treatment, they should be publicly embarrassed. These animals do not ask to be abused,they don't have a voice

To say that I am appalled at what this monster & brats did, would be an insurmountable understatement. This "person" has no right to even be raising children...what kind of values is she teaching them? Hello, welcome to the making of a serial killer 101 ! She should be in jail, and her brats placed in a home that might be able to rehabilitate them. She should never, ever be able to come into contact w/ any children or animals, as she clearly isn't even on the same level, as the animals she killed. Who knows how many other she has done this to....I am sure it isn't her first time. If I saw her, I would call the police, then take the bat and beat some sense into her..

We want justice for the innocent kittens, that endured SEVERE abuse from Wilana Frazier,..Could they fight back? NO!I Is this a mother that should have kids & what is she teaching her kids? Many serial killers, start out with abusing animal.. No animal deserves abuse, neglect or lack of care..This awful scum of a mom, needs to be punished & convicted of all charges!!

# 44,417 23:31, Sep 17, Lynn Akel, MD
I would tell the world if I saw someone. I would love to see these people jailed for this crime. How can they hurt a little thing like that animals are helpless lets all come together and help them have a mouth. I am disgusted by the mother and her kids they are disgusting to society. The Mother is the worse example for her children take the kids away from her she is abusive and teaching her kids to be abusive. I am so happy someone saved this kittens life to bad for the one that mother killed. This yucky mother should be punished and SHAME ON HER SHAME PLEASE GIVE HER JAIL TIME!!!!!!! PLEASE I BEG YOU FOR THIS KITTEN THAT IS NO LONGER HERE BECAUSE OF HER DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR!!!!

# 44,41901:52, Sep 18, Name not displayed, TN
I really hope that the guilty party in such senseless crimes is punished to the greatest extent of the law, not just for harming helpless kittens, but for damaging her children. The kittens died and are now forever at peace, but the abuse the children have been witness to and were part of is ultimately disturbing as well. These young boys will grow up to be men someday, and I pray they will be given the chance to change, and to know love before it is too late.If I could have, I would have tried to stop her first! But yes, I will help to spread awareness. Children are taught how to treat animals and these children were shown to be cruel and violent to little baby kittens. Imagine how their lives will be if they continue on in that environment. She should be punished for killing the kittens, but triply punished for the crimes she has committed against her children. I pray they get the help they need and that she does not get to regain custody of them. They are young enough to heal and learn to treat animals and humans alike with dignity and respect.

We have an animal sanctuary where we currently have 77 animals, including 37 horses, and many have been rescued from abusive situations. We also work on foreclosed homes and have found many, many abandoned, neglected and with some, obviously abused, dogs, cats, a turtle, fish and chickens, who all come home with us. When we all stand up and say "this behavior will not be tolerated" and force our legal system to impose harsh fines and jail time for the horrendous abuse that was perpetrated on Dexter and his sibling who died at the scene, it will send a message to society that the monsters who walk among us WILL be held accountable for their inhumane treatment of animals. Regarding would I step-up and stop someone from abusing/harming/killing an animal? I have, but won't say how I made the abuser stop because some may perceive my methods as not very nice......... although, they were definitely effective.........

What deep seated evil has this woman imparted in the emotional structure of her children! I would try to stop her from hurting them anymore that had already been done, I would care for the kittens if possible, making sure medical help was given, and I would take the stand to make sure she was prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law & that her children receive appropriate counseling and supervision!

A woman wants Hernando County FL to adopt an animal abuser registry to honor a tiny, sweet victim, to name and shame abusers, and to spare other animals from little Dexter kitten’s fate.

 

Brooksville FL resident Betty Dobson  has contacted all five Hernando County Commissioners asking them to adopt an animal abuser registry named for Dexter kitten, who died earlier this week after seeming to make a miraculous recovery from a despicably brutal beating with an aluminum baseball bat on June 10 that brought repeated blows to his tiny head.

 

Ms. Dobson would like Dexter’s home county to enact an ordinance modeled after an online animal abuser registry in Suffolk County, NY. In Suffolk County, abusers convicted of mistreating animals must register their names, addresses and photos of themselves for five years and pay an annual fee of $50. The photos and data are available online at a website maintained by the SPCA. Ms. Dobson notes that Suffolk County’s registry has overcome legal hurdles, making it a safe, tested model, and she suggests that fees and donations can be put toward the cost of having a local organization maintain the online registry.

 

At this point, Ms. Dobson’s proposal is no more than one woman’s request to the Commission, at least as far as we know. Hopefully, the widespread attention Dexter’s case has brought to Hernando County will help get the proposed ordinance onto the County’s agenda and influence its approval.  The proposed ordinance is not on the agenda for the Commissioners’ meeting scheduled for next week, and agendas for later meetings have not yet been made public.

 

On a related, note,  Dexter’s accused abuser Wilana Frazier will appear before Judge Daniel Merritt Jr. at a hearing on September27 .

Kitten beaten in Brooksville park put to sleep

Dexter, the Hernando kitten beaten
at park, dies from seizures

From hope, to sadness

Kitten that had been beaten
succumbs to seizures

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Dexter and his brother  were special kitties  even though they were  just unwanted strays at a public park! Their mother selected that area probably for safety sakes and the presence of trash cans and friendly people who would share food with her a needy cat with kittens. She didn't anticipate the savage attack on her offspring. The poor defenseless mother probably witnessed the whole sordid affair and now knows the absolute cruelty of humans: who can be more savage like than any beast killing for no reason and with gusto!  He and his brother were Hemingway cats and had the extra toes to prove it .  These cats like them are descendants of kitties brought by that great man from his travels to Hong Kong . His old house in Key West (my home town)  maintains an active colony of these unique cats.  The trait of extra toes on each paw is a dominant genetic factor. It occurs in every generation of the original cat or cats brought by Hemingway himself from overseas. Some one was privileged enough to bring one of Dexter's direct ancestors from Key West to Brooksville. They aren't given away for free...In Key West, they and other strays who visit are provided for by a trust and drink out of a cleaned urinal from Sloppy Joe's bar of infamous fame as Hemingway haunt. He bought it for the cats and it trickles over providing freshwater for all the kitties there. Water is precious gift on island of Key West and expensive to share. Dexter was loved before he died by the child (Tiffany) who saved him from the trashcan, her heart also was broken by his passing. Her family raised her right and did the right thing even at peril. Sign and pass this on for her, and Dexter, and his dead brother. May angels escort you little innocent s and may they also guard Tiffany from all evil. The world can be a cruel place! Please help and do what ever you can! To never let this behavior happen again in a civilized country and lobby for felony laws for Animal Cruelty through the entire World! Let Dexter be a poster kittten for Never Again and the example made of Frazier so that cruelty is rewarded with extreme punishment to the maximum allowable by law!

The petition below asks for a Dexter Stamp to identify animal abusers in Florida to be placed on their ID cards. Another friend of mine wrote that one!
There is also, a nasty as yet unverified, story that Frazier catnapped the helpless kittens in retribution for someone catching her kids stealing a bicycle! Then took them to the park in order to kill them!  She was never given kittens! She owned a pit bull  dog that Animal Control took away from her, after her multiple abuse charge arrest,,,  All will be accounted for ..Updates will be made and this petition will never die as the poor kittens did, but will remain active for years to enact CHANGE!  How about you?
