So the story goes like this, Ikea got pregnant with Dominique. But Ikea admitted to being on crack cocaine and it appears the baby was born with drugs in her system. Ikea was in and out of jail often and she lost custody of baby Dominique. 

In comes Susan who some way obtained guardianship caretaker custody of Dominique. Several other children were also under the custody at the house on Gwynne Hill Rd including a one-year-old baby, a four year old kid, and a 2-year-old child. Child abuse is an apparent problem in the United States.

Under Susan’s care the kids were under adverse and cruel treatment, living in filthy conditions. Trash was pilled up inside the home, rats and roaches were crawling inside the house on the carpet and walls.

Defecation from rats and humans were on the floor of the home in plain sight. Dominique had a diaper filled with defecation and was malnourished.

Dominique stopped breathing on December 16th and someone from the home called 911. EMS arrived and found Dominique with her diaper filled with defecation and urine. Dominique had sores on her butt and on her front urinary areas due to constant exposure to feces and urine. Dominique died.

It is believed Dominique may of been special needs or either not properly potty trained if she was still wearing a diaper at the age of 6, perhaps due to the fact that her mom was on crack cocaine, and Dominique may of been born with drugs in her system.

Dominique also had broken bones and ligature scars, along with burns on her body. The house had no centralized heating system.

The other kids in the home were taken to the hospital to be evaluated, and they survived. The kids are now in DSS custody. Susan was arrested four days later on December 20, 2025 charged with several counts of misdemeanor child abuse.
