Tee Stauch FB Post & Audo



Tee Stauch is the step mother of missing Gannon Stauch.  

Previous analysis of her statement to media shows:

1.  She hurt Gannon. 

This does not mean she caused his disappearance, though it could--it means that she embedded an admission of having hurt him. It is not known if this is emotional or physical or both. 

2.  She had a very bad relationship with him. 

While missing, she was able to interview about him while avoiding the possessive pronoun "my", connecting herself to him. 

3. She sees herself as a victim -- of particular note: she perceives herself as a victim of the bio mother, of whom she was forced into caring for Gannon for two years. She also sees herself as a victim of police and social media.  

The very bad relationship with Gannon and the perception as a victim is a dangerous combination for a child. 

4.  She does not indicate care for what Gannon is currently experiencing while missing.  In this, she is like other parents of missing children who were indicated for deception (see McCanns) 


5. In her statement, she moved to a tangent about her daughter and shopping for clothes---while being interviewed about Gannon's disappearance. 

She specifically mentioned "underwear", which is unnecessary and another tangential piece of information.  In context, it is vital.

Why did she mention it?

I do not know other than to say that while Gannon is missing, this was on her mind----thus, important to her. 

It is very concerning.  

It can be associated with terror (wetting himself due to fear), sexual abuse, or even humiliation (targeting his genitals via assault). That she might psychologically and/or physically humiliate him is something affirmed next: 

The audio:

Stauch posted an audio of her interaction with Gannon the night before he disappeared. 

She posting it indicates that she expected to be "understood"-- that is, that the audience would not "see" what she has had to deal with for "two years."

She has a disconnect due to this projection: 

the audience has the opposite reaction. 

She is heard berating him for breaking something, and as he sobs, he lays upon him the burden of the family's ability to live in their home.  She tells him that they will have to sell something, like their "sofa."

It is cruel psychological torment.  

That she posted it, herself, is, however, the most frightening and insightful point. 

Why?

This is a form of self justification for whatever it is that she did. 

First, the embedded "I hurt him" is confirmed by the audio.  If it is only psychological, and not physical, it is bad enough.  

Secondly, in looking at the above statement, "it was an accident", it appears further that she seeks to be justified. 

If he ran away and encountered danger, she has now shown the public why a young boy would run away.  

I hope it is limited to the acute emotional abuse, rather than having caused his disappearance. 

The media did not, at least in this interview, avail the opportunity to ask,

"Did you cause Gannon's disappearance?" 

Tee Stauch has revealed that she is a child abuser and that she is proud of it.  This is her belief system. 

Gannon is missing. 

Stauch has shown herself indifferent  towards his plight. 

The audio shows how far she is willing to go to inflict psychological damage to Gannon in the public's purview. 

One may conclude that what he experienced in private was far worse. 

She hopes for an apology when he is found. 

"...this was an accident and not some tragedy."

We now know why it is not a "tragedy"--in her verbalized (literally) perception, his status of missing is tied to his breaking of some item in her home. 

 It is not a "tragedy" but a form of "justice" that Stauch believed the public would applaud her for, or in the least, sympathize with her. 

She "justifies" whatever it is that she has done to him, in her mind.  

He "deserved"  it and 'you heard the audio for yourself' to 'prove' it. 

She rationalized that she would win over the Facebook "haters" that she railed upon earlier. They would see the "suffering" of the "two years" she has "had" to take care of Gannon because he mother refused to. 

Rationalization
Justification 
Minimization ("it was an accident") 

Did she directly cause his demise?  

We need more information (larger statement) to discern.

quote from the step-mother, "Drowning a person who has taken care of kids more than there mom is stupid."

NOTE, she is in education yet uses "there" in the place of "their" in a sentence that includes "drowning" in context to a missing child. "there" goes to location.

NOTE, the sentence is in passive language. does she want us to think she is referring to self? she does not say so.

She probably whacked him in the head with the candle. That's why he seemed drugged up in the video where he was getting in the red truck. He was dazed.She murdered him.

Hi, General

If yours refering to the text above it reads "downing" ."Downing a person" ..

Autumn said...

Tee Stauch starts with “Give me a break”. Is this a subconscious reference to the cause of Gannon’s disappearance, i.e. Gannon breaking something?

Interesting that she says “this girl” a few times in the beginning. It seems too mild a description for someone (Gannon’s mother) who (according to Tee Stauch) has so many faults and who she clearly doesn’t like at all. I think by saying “this girl” Tee Stauch actually deep down means HERSELF (“this” is pulling it close). She is telling us what is most prominent on her mind: she is “fooling” us, she is the one who “cared nothing about Gannon” and she is worried Albert won’t support her anymore when the truth comes out. “This girl” is also “involved in criminal activity” (involving drugs/posing nude).

"This girl" is also a “piece of shit getting money off her child when she don’t have shit and ain’t never been shit”. Wasn’t Tee Stauch the one telling Gannon they would have to sell something so they could keep living in their home? So in a way she was the one “getting money off her child”. Why does she say “sh*t” three times? Does this have something to do with her previous reference to “underwear”? Did he defecate in his underwear? Did this make her angry?

She continues to say (write): “He fake cries are to sucker y’all in” She probably intended to refer to Gannon’s mom. However, the fact that she wrote “He” instead of “The” may be a telling mistake. Did Gannon cry (we know he did)? Did he get a “sucker punch”?

The fact that she says "This girl cared nothing about Gannon" is also telling. If Tee Stauch thought Gannon was still alive, she would have said "cares" (present tense instead of past tense).

It was "an accident" and Tee Stauch "was there". Gannon didn't want to be "there" because "there was abuse around him". A weird way of expressing herself, I think (abuse "around him"). Why does she not say who abused him? Is it because she herself was the abuser?

Shy Covian said...

She has serious emotional problems, it is so evident. She is so tainted in her view of our reality that she keeps leaking not only the truth, but her sick state of mind. We love you Gannon, I am so sad you had to suffer due to this awful woman.

General P. Malaise said...

thanks John. I need to be more careful.

Trigger said...



“Give me a break” is Tee Stauch’s way of saying that she has cared for Gannon and his well being more diligently than his estranged mother. She then lists the offenses and glaring defects of Gannon’s mother to prove her point.

Tee Stauch feels used.


Anonymous said...

In a previous description, the step mom describes Gannon as kind and intuitive as to notice when she was sick and ask if she was okay. That is something she likely isn't. He did what was asked of him.A pleaser.

One mistake and uh, oh!

It's understandable she wouldn't love him as her own because he isn't- Not knowing when the bio mom will undo any bond she might form.

Some people will target those who have already been a victim of abuse.....because they can. They like to onboard and make it worse because it makes them feel better.

For Gannon, it was the choice between the lesser of two evils.

It is what it is.

These are the children that have historically been chosen for trafficking and more abuse.

Trigger said...

“For Gannon, it was the choice between the lesser of two evils” So True!

Meilyn said...

What is the “accident” that Tee refers to here (vs a “tragedy”)?
Is the “accident” Gannon being missing? Illogical phrasing.
Is the “accident” the burnt carpet? If so, she is defending Gannon and using phrases that the person performing the action would use. What I mean by this is that the sentence in that context (defending an unsavory action like dropping candle and burning carpet), would more likely be used by the person who did it (in this example - Gannon). But an eleven year old probably wouldn’t defend himself by saying “it was an accident, not a tragedy”.
Possible, but not likely.
Ruling out those two explanations for “accident” (him missing, burnt carpet), what more can be ascertained by her use of that phrase?
It sounds ominous.

For someone with a doctorate in education, or even a bachelors, her use of there and their jumps out.

I'm ill educated myself and do not wish to point fingers to bad mouth the step mom-it's indicative of why these cases go as they do I suspect.

Also, I think she said "downing" a person and not "drowning" to the commenter above.

Some can tread water while others merely walk on it.

Babysitters interview.

The babysitter for missing boy Gannon Stauch says she believes his Stepmother was not involved with his disappearance

Reporter "what was she ( Stepmom) like."

Babysitter. "She wouldn't...She never even spanked those (plural). kids"

This was an open ended question.

1) we have a broken sentence, missing or possible withheld information.

2) Sitter could've started anywhere, yet the first thing that comes to her mind is "spanking"

Given what we know (audio) from stepmums phone. Sitters answer is very disturbing

Everything out of this woman's mouth is about her. When I first watched her interview I was flabbergasted that she wants sympathy for what she is going through because Gannon is missing. I also noticed how the interviewer kept trying to steer her back to the actual topic of Gannon. And in literally everything I've seen and read her whole theme is "poor me, I'm the good guy". Really good people don't have to persuade others that they are good. They don't have to because their conscience is clear.
There's a lot of jealousy and pettiness in her above post. She's kind of nasty like Tammy Moore. And it seems like with the release of the dark video/audio clip she's blaming the primary victim, in the post she's blaming Gannon's real mom (the secondary victim) as well as trying to shame her.

I know it annoying when people comment about unrelated topic but I’ve just figured out how to comment so here I am . Has anybody looked at the Nora Quoirin case? There are few interviews online with the parents and they are very suspicious. It’s been driving me crazy for months I’d love to hear analysis.

off topic

Jussie Smollett has been indicted by a special prosecutor in Chicago, nearly a year after the initial charges against him over an alleged hoax attack were dropped.

A Cook County grand jury hit the Empire actor with six counts of disorderly conduct on Tuesday for allegedly staging racist and homophobic hate crime and lying to police about it.

Special prosecutor Dan Webb announced the charges against Smollett and said that the further prosecution of the actor is in the 'interest of justice'.

It is now more than a year since Smollett claimed he was attacked at 2am on January 29, 2019 while walking to a Subway near his Chicago home to buy a sandwich.

He told police his attackers called him racist and homophobic slurs and that they appeared light-skinned.

Nigerian brothers Abel and Ola Osundairo were then identified by police as the people he'd said attacked him. The pair knew Smollett and told the authorities he paid them to attack him in a staged incident to allegedly boost his celebrity profile and salary.

Smollett was then hit with a 16-count grand jury indictment and faced more than 50 years behind bars — until State's Attorney Kim Foxx suddenly dropped all the charges last March in exchange for him doing community service.

It was a decision that blindsided and outraged Chicago's former mayor Rahm Emanuel and former Chief of Police Eddie Johnson.

Smollett, who has all along insisted he is innocent, then sued the city for malicious prosecution.

There have been various rounds of civil litigation, but the cases have been delayed because it has been so difficult to identify an impartial prosecutor.

Webb was eventually brought in to examine the case.

The saga began on January 30 last year when it emerged that Smollett claimed he had been the victim of a racist, anti-gay attack.

At the time, it seemed he had been walking home from Subway in the middle of the night after returning home late on a delayed flight when he was approached.

He told police afterwards his attackers identified him from the show he was on, Empire, and called him both the N-word and 'f****t'.

He said they beat him, poured bleach on him then put a noose around his neck.

Smollett went back to his apartment where his friend, Frank Gaston, was. It was Gaston who insisted they call police.

When officers arrived, the actor refused to hand over his phone.

He went to the hospital to be checked over but had no major injuries.

The Chicago Police Department vowed to investigate the incident with all its might, and celebrities around the world rushed to share their support of Smollett.

He became a household name almost overnight.

But as the police investigation progressed, leaks began from within the police department that all may not have been as it seemed.

As the controversy grew, Smollett - determined to make his case - went on Good Morning America where he cried and insisted he was telling the truth.

By then, Chicago PD had released grainy surveillance camera footage of two men walking near the scene of the incident itself which was among the only part of his journey not captured on Chicago's vast network of security cameras that night.

Smollett unequivocally identified the two men in the grainy footage as his attackers.

Neither their faces nor skin color could be made out in it.

Unbeknownst to him while he was conducting his GMA interview, the Chicago PD was building a case against him.

They had identified the people in the video as the Osundairo brothers and had backed-up their belief by tracking the pair's movements in the days and hours both before and after the incident.

Smollett was eventually arrested and charged with suspicion of lying to police.

The brothers flew to Nigeria within hours of the January 29 incident and missed the media storm which followed.

Tania Cadogan said...

cont.

When they landed back in the US, police investigators were waiting to question them.

After hours of secret interviews, they told cops that Smollett had paid them to carry out the attack as part of an elaborate hoax.

Smollett was then arrested.

In an extraordinary press conference afterwards, then police chief Eddie Gallagher accused him of inflaming race relations in Chicago and of wasting police time.

He bellowed that Smollett had tried to leverage the 'attack' to get his bosses at Empire to pay him more.

Despite police outrage, prosecutor Kim Foxx was quiet.

The case then went to a grand jury which returned a stunning, 16-felony indictment that would have put Smollett behind bars for more than 50 years if he had been convicted.

By then, Foxx had informally recused herself from the case.

Her conflict of interest was that in the early days of the police investigation, she intervened at the request of Smollett's family and their friend - Time's Up CEO Tina Tchen - who wanted the FBI to take over the police investigation.

They said they were worried by the number of leaks that had come from the Chicago PD and asked Foxx to help. She said she would try.

After the grand jury indictment, the case stalled for a few weeks.

Then, in March, Foxx's deputy Joseph Magats - who had taken over - announced the decision that the charges against Smollett had been dropped.

Foxx had intervened again, it emerged, and pointed to what they called 'alternative prosecution' whereby Smollett, a first-time offender, was let off with a $10,000 bail forfeiture and community service.

There was outrage and calls for Foxx to be investigated herself for prosecutorial misconduct.

As judges and special prosecutors for that task were tossed around, the city came out swinging in civil court. They sued Smollett, asking him to reimburse them for all the money they said they'd wasted investigating what they believed were bogus claims.

Smollett counter-sued, accusing the city and Eddie Gallagher of malicious prosecution. He lost his job on Empire and became a pariah in the showbiz world he was allegedly trying to ascend through.

Webb was appointed in August to investigate why Foxx's office had dropped the charges.

He himself faced criticism and claims of another conflict of interest when it emerged he had donated $1,000 to Foxx's re-election campaign once.

There was another text online that started with DO PANIC and then goes on to explain how he turned on a candle (wth?) and burned the carpet.

I am curious if she made a mountain out of a mole hill? Was it an electric candle and it singed the carpet fibers of was it a real candle and wax melted the fibers together? Regardless, it could be plugged easily enough.

It reminded me of a woman I visited that had just kicked her young daughter out of the house because she spilled fingernail polish on the carpet and asked if I knew how to get it out. Polish remover I tried, it got bigger at first, but with time it would go away. It was a really big deal to her. There was something else going on in her life though I discovered from our visit. It wasn't about the nail polish at all.It had something to do with another female in her family that was constantly having to force her choices upon her.

DO PANIC? Was that a typo? Maybe she meant do NOT panic?

And, in the part where she capitalised HE fake cries and later switches to she.....was that a typo too?

Perhaps a lot of the stuff she posts about is true and overwhelming.Has anyone bothered to see if Gannon had behavioral issues due to the abuse of living with his bio mom that was surfacing? Or even their torrential marriage prior to the step mom?

Maybe she did have a reason to suspect he did it on purpose.

In most the photos he looks happy, though. When the carpet was burned he freaked and cried.

Her words were harsh, but she did include him in the decision making process of how to fix the damage to anothers property. That should count for something. Others may see it as abuse, while some see it as being part of a family.

Someone noted her page where she sells expensive purses she's tired of carrying.

What would they think if she was wealthy and allowed him to destroy with no care of others belongings? Would that be abuse or would that be rubber stamped okie-doki?

Yes, she does focus on herself a lot, I get that part. Just sayin'. Food for thought. When others are bashing, it's hard to think through stuff.

Autumn said...

Anonymous, I don't know the ins and outs of this case. However, I think regardless of the background: what Tee Stauch did in the audio is no way to treat a child. It is clear that Gannon was completely upset (doesn't sound like someone who did it on purpose but who knows). She should have consoled him and said "don't worry, we'll figure it out" instead of making him feel worse. He's only 11 years old. Like Peter says: it's acute emotional abuse. If he has behavioral issues due to past abuse, his stepmother should have been so wise to arrange (or get his father to arrange) professional help instead of piling on. They are the adults. Tee Stauch's behavior in the audio is not (should not be) "being part of a family". Of course, everybody can say things in the heat of the moment. It's a snapshot. But the fact that Tee Stauch posted the audio suggests that she sees nothing wrong with it. That's worrying.

OT: Missing Faye Marie Swetlik

Statement by family:

"Faye is a bubbly and happy little girl. She always wants to play and have fun. She’s not the type of kid that will up and walk away. Her mom was very attentive in watching Faye. Faye pays attention to her surroundings. Her grandmother is very distraught about what has happened because they are very close. We just want to find Faye and bring her home."

Anonymous said...

I agree, what she said and did is wrong. However, her skills may be far superior to the skills of which have been demonstrated to her and far superior than dragging the child through drug infested crime scenes and pawning their play things.

It's difficult to beleive someone goes into education without first having a heart to help children. Somewhere along the lines that gets twisted and then it comes to what happened to Gannon.

The babysitter stated she wouldn't spank the kids, which is something most parents her age doled out on children when they misbehaved when she was a child.

Selling the sofa surly hit a chord after the bio mom pawned toys to get drugs and the abuse was likely much worse. If the children were in foster care, who knows what kind of treatment they would have received?

Does anyone know if the emotional abuse was an ongoing tactic? Often others don't step up to stop it unfortunately since it is emotional abuse.What doesn't kill ya makes ya better! Builds character!

Kinda like the online people do when a child falls through the cracks like that. They bully and rant much like the step monm.

EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. —

The stepmother of missing El Paso County boy Gannon Stauch released a statement Tuesday night about his disappearance.



Letecia Stauch said she last saw 11-year-old Gannon between 3:15 and 4 p.m. on Jan. 27 heading to a friend’s home in their suburban El Paso County neighborhood.

Letecia has received significant criticism online, with many accusing her of being involved in Gannon’s disappearance.

She issued the following statement:

“First and foremost, I would like to thank all agencies, volunteers, and community members who are working diligently and praying endlessly to bring Gannon home safe. Thank you to my husband who has stayed strong through this and protected our family to the best of his ability and our immediate & extended family members throughout the east coast. To Gannon, please come home soon because your daddy is waiting to watch the new Sonic movie that comes out this week and the cool shirt I got you to wear to the theatre is in your closet.

Social Media has been devastating from the harsh comments, speculations, threats, cyber bullying, etc. It has been a challenge when people are trying to run you off the road, waiting outside your hotel, threatening to kill you, etc. I encourage the Sheriff’s Office to take down those pages that promote negative behavior and violence. Let’s Do what Gannon would do. Be Kind to one another!

We all have engaged in something crazy online at some point but Gannon would want everyone to get along and to focus on finding him.

I know that many people have kids and are invested in this because it hits close to home for them. I would like to think that overall most people are genuine and want to do everything in their power to find G. With that being sad, Please take a step back for a moment and let me explain to you a few details that were not released. For example, just like the video that was leaked, there are additional details that were hidden due to 1) the department doing its job

frommindtomatter said...

“This [was] an accident not some tragedy and Gannon is alive”

What does that sentence speak to? If we believe the stepmom that Gannon left on his own free will to go to a friend’s, then how can him doing so be an accident? Not coming back from a friend’s house is not an accident, it is a mystery.

If she is talking about the incident itself (Gannon’s disappearance), the word “accident” doesn’t fit as a disappearance is not an accident. But if she knows his disappearance is due to an accident either caused by his actions or through her actions then using the word “accident” would make sense.

If she is thinking of the damaged/burnt carpet and using “accident” in reference to it, where does the word “tragedy” come from? It is possible that she is acknowledging that her behaviour has caused Gannon to run away. Her making Gannon run away was accidental in her own mind which leads to her statement of “This was an accident”.

By using “this” she puts herself close to the accident. We know from the audio she was playing mind games with Gannon telling him they would have to sell things to pay for the burnt carpet. If she pushed him too far with her games and he ran away then there is the “accident.” She didn’t intend for “this” to happen.

2) the effects of social media and how some individuals would criticize or hinder the investigation. I chose to listen, I didn’t leak videos or information. But at this time it’s getting later in the process and we just want Gannon home. I feel the need to fill in some gaps. Now let me stress this, POLICE have known this since the first interview.

Saturday Night, G was helping me unload in the garage and cut his foot because there are a lot of tools because Albert does woodworking.

He sat on the edge of the car and we bandaged it up. He was good to go. He always loves helping his dad in the garage build things like his LEGO tables and the flower pot they built for me as a gift. After this, I noticed G kept going to the side of the house.

He told me he was checking to see if the gate was locked because he was the only one with a gate key. It made him proud to be the man of the house while Albert was away. Fast forward, we did a hike on Sunday (cleared), and shopping on Monday ( cleared as well for him getting out of the other side). Please don’t think for a second that there isn’t enough of technology to determine shadows and movement around the truck. There was also proof from my phone that we had taken a selfie in the truck in our driveway that was time stamped. We always send pictures to Albert when we are out and about or when he is away. That can be scanned for actual time verification. Last, from day one the Sheriff’s office has known a description of the person/friend whom Gannon left with.

I explained to them and provided evidence. They had information about G having the key to go out the side gate. Last they have more in-depth details that go along with this pointing to who sent the person or why he may have come. Again, I repeat they have had this Initially and I was asked to keep quiet about it so they could have the best shot at doing their job and bringing G home. The last thing that they needed was a hindrance to their investigation. I encourage you to think of any suspicious cars that may have been in the area watching a few days prior and keep praying for G!

Autumn said...

^ Isn't there a video of him leaving with his stepmother on Monday? So what's the relevance of their activities on Saturday and Sunday? Why do we need to know he cut his foot and that it was bandaged? Why does she feel the need to "stress" this? Did the police find Gannon's blood in the garage?

"I have had contact with Albert", lol.

Translation:

"I had to reach out to Albert by other means than just turning to him at the breakfast table and asking him; because I no longer live with him, because I'm not allowed home."

Also, WTH with her nonsense about "selling the sofa"!!! She purports to have a doctorate (!) in education? I'm guessing it included zero child psychology - financial matters are not an 11-year-old's responsibility, and shouldn't be made so. I could understand an immediate frustrated cry of "you know we're renting and will have to fix that!"; but making him part of the solution is not acceptable.

its possible she kicked him in the growin or in the stomache, she mentioned underwear and said he couldnt poop. im thinking it was hard enough to cause internal injuries, and causing him to bleed.

I'm the step mom of a now adult aon who had experienced severe trauma and had very disturbing behaviors that did include setting fires like Tee intimates Gannon did. I am not defending Tee. I believe she did something to Gannon that caused his death.

That said, getting help for a severely disturbed child is so much harder than you think. We spent tens of thousands of dollars on therapy, drove him anywhere he possibly could have received help, etc... and very little progress was made. We had to take all kinds of safety precautions to keep him from hurting our other children, he repeatedly hurt people at school, including teachers, etc... because of his explosive anger. He was diagnosed with so many things it is gut wrenching. Now as an adult he has been diagnosed as having anti social personality disorder.

He is now 26 and every day I feel like I failed him. What could I have done differently? Was there a counselor we missed that could have helped? Should he have gone to a residential facility despite the horror stories? Did I expect too much? Did I not expect enough? Trauma changes the brain and the hormones, etc... but I still want so much more for him. I have studied attachment disorders, healing the brain in an adult, went back to college and got a psychology degree, all in an effort to prayerfully have a breakthrough that will change his future for the better. It is a lifelong process and so much more involved than people might know if they haven't experienced it.

Her response is chilling to me in the video. Raising a child with trauma is the hardest thing I have ever done and I have PTSD as does one of my other children who was the primary target of my wounded son. I spent many a night wondering how I could survive another day. However, I fought like hell for him and still do because he deserves it and so much more. I can't imagine and have never been able to, the pain he experienced that drove those behaviors. What I read from Tee is that she saw Gannon as her enemy and burden. So dangerous. The trauma had to be the enemy for me. I wasn't fighting my sin. I was fighting the trauma for the heart of my son.

I'm so sorry for you, your step son and your family. I wasn't familiar with anti social personality disorder. But I looked it up and indeed it must be very difficult to live with. I had no idea. I now understand much better where you (if that was you) were coming from when you wrote that "some see it as being part of a family" (I don't know if Gannon has behavioral issues though). I enjoyed reading that comment by the way because I felt you really tried to understand the situation.

Also: based on what you wrote it doesn't seem like you failed your step son. You much rather went above and beyond to help him. The fact that you express so many doubts and questions about your own role makes me think of those cases where parents of murder victims take on more responsibility than can be assigned to them ("It is the opposite of what guilty parents do"). It probably suggests that you're a great step mom i.m.o.. On some level your son realizes that I'm sure. I hope some day - if possible - his and (thus) your/your daughter's situation gets better.

I'm the step mom of a now adult aon who had experienced severe trauma and had very disturbing behaviors that did include setting fires like Tee intimates Gannon did. I am not defending Tee. I believe she did something to Gannon that caused his death.

That said, getting help for a severely disturbed child is so much harder than you think. We spent tens of thousands of dollars on therapy, drove him anywhere he possibly could have received help, etc... and very little progress was made. We had to take all kinds of safety precautions to keep him from hurting our other children, he repeatedly hurt people at school, including teachers, etc... because of his explosive anger. He was diagnosed with so many things it is gut wrenching. Now as an adult he has been diagnosed as having anti social personality disorder.

He is now 26 and every day I feel like I failed him. What could I have done differently? Was there a counselor we missed that could have helped? Should he have gone to a residential facility despite the horror stories? Did I expect too much? Did I not expect enough? Trauma changes the brain and the hormones, etc... but I still want so much more for him. I have studied attachment disorders, healing the brain in an adult, went back to college and got a psychology degree, all in an effort to prayerfully have a breakthrough that will change his future for the better. It is a lifelong process and so much more involved than people might know if they haven't experienced it.

Her response is chilling to me in the video. Raising a child with trauma is the hardest thing I have ever done and I have PTSD as does one of my other children who was the primary target of my wounded son. I spent many a night wondering how I could survive another day. However, I fought like hell for him and still do because he deserves it and so much more. I can't imagine and have never been able to, the pain he experienced that drove those behaviors. What I read from Tee is that she saw Gannon as her enemy and burden. So dangerous. The trauma had to be the enemy for me. I wasn't fighting my sin. I was fighting the trauma for the heart of my son.




Excellent post.

Human remains found in Florida tentatively IDed as Gannon Stauch

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says human remains believed to be Gannon Stauch have been found in Florida.

According to the sheriff's office, deputies in Santa Rosa County were called to a report of a deceased juvenile male in Pace, Florida on March 18.


An autopsy was performed and the juvenile was identified as Stauch, the 11-year-old who went missing from the Lorson Ranch neighborhood of Colorado Springs on Jan. 27.


WATCH: 4th Judicial District Attorney's Office holds press conference after remains found.

Following Friday's announcement, the DA filed charges against Letecia Stauch of first-degree murder after deliberation and eight counts of crime of violence for use of a firearm, blunt instrument or knife in the cause of death of Gannon Stauch.

Letecia, who is Gannon's stepmother, had already been charged with first-degree murder, child abuse resulting in death, and tampering with a corpse. She was the one who reported Gannon missing, but evidence mounted that led authorities to arrest her earlier this month.


Police are asking if anyone saw Letecia Stauch in the area of Pace or Pensacola between Feb. 3 and Feb. 5 to call 719-520-6666.

Letecia was arrested on March 2 in South Carolina before being extradited back to El Paso County.

Few details about what led to Letecia's arrest have been released, and a gag order has been filed for the case. We're expecting to learn more details at a preliminary hearing set for a future date, but most of the court documents connected with the murder charge have been sealed.

The district attorney's office said Gannon's father and biological mother still had hope that Gannon would come home alive, despite the original charges. They were told the news Friday morning and were distraught by the information.
