A | DECATUR, Ga. -- A suburban Atlanta woman has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for the 2021 murder of a 4-month-old who died after she placed him to sleep on his abdomen in the child care center she operated out of her basement.A judge sentenced Amanda Hickey, 48, on Friday after families of children she was accused of abusing gave emotional testimony against her.”I know that there is nothing I can say in words to take away their pain, except take responsibility and express extreme sorrow for what I’ve done,” Hickey told DeKalb County Superior Court Chief Judge LaTisha Dear Jackson, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “This is my legacy now.”Charlie Cronmiller was being cared for in Hickey's Little Lovey child care center when he died on Feb. 3, 2021. Hickey didn't check on him for more than two hours before finding him covered in vomit and not breathing. The infant was pronounced dead at a hospital.Hickey operated the child care center from the basement of her Dunwoody home. She initially told investigators that she put the baby down on his back, in line with state regulations, but that the child rolled over onto his abdomen. Security video, however, showed Hickey actually placed the infant facedown.Video showed her swinging other babies by their feet, slamming them into the ground, pulling their hair, pushing and tripping toddlers, and placing others in unsafe positions for sleep, prosecutors said. The victims ranged in age from 6 to 18 months.Hickey was licensed to care for six children, but prosecutors said 10 were inside her home the day Charlie died.She pleaded guilty Sept. 22 to seven counts of first-degree child cruelty, seven counts of reckless conduct, one count of second-degree child cruelty and three counts of battery. Hickey entered an Alford plea, which allows a person to maintain her innocence while acknowledging that it is in her best interest to plead guilty to charges of second-degree murder and second-degree child cruelty related to Cronmiller's death. “There is no remorse,” the baby's mother, Stephanie Cronmiller, told the court Friday. “The only thing she’s sorry about is that she got caught. I focus on forgiving myself because I chose her. How could I not think this was my fault?”Hickey was taken into custody immediately after the hearing. Jackson ordered that once Hickey is released from prison, she can’t have contact with the victims or any children younger than 13, and can’t gain financially from the case.。爱德华兹，又摊上麻烦了。来自体育八卦媒体TMZ的最新报道，加州法院作出判决，森林狼球星爱德华兹被判每月需向其前任Alexandria Descroches支付1.4万美元的子女抚养费，这笔钱将用于照顾一个他声称自己从未见过的孩子。除了子女抚养费外，法官还要求爱德华兹投保一份保额约260万美元的人寿保险（每年需支付2000到4000美元），并指定Descroches为第一受益人，同时，爱德华兹还需要支付女方总计超过2.1万美元的律师费。值得一提的是，这并非爱德华兹唯一一起陷入抚养费纠纷的案件。从2023年到2024年，仅仅一年时间，爱德华兹就迎来了四个孩子，而且这四个孩子还是四个不同的妈，其中三个与爱德华兹打了抚养费官司。他的第一个小孩名叫Amir（儿子），出生于2023年，母亲是网红Descroches，值得一提的是，此前在法庭上，爱德华兹宣誓后承认从未见过儿子Amir，且不寻求任何探视权或者亲子时间。第二个小孩名叫Aris（女儿），出生于2023年9月，母亲是网红Daja。在Aris出生之后，爱德华兹主动提起诉讼，要求法院确认亲子关系、争取共同法律和实际监护权，并确定抚养费，他表示自己可能不是孩子生父。经过检测，爱德华兹就是生父，孩子的母亲Daja反对爱德华兹的共同监护权请求，只愿给予合理探视权，并要求法院判决抚养费。双方最终通过私下法律程序敲定达成了保密抚养与监护协议，具体抚养费金额未对外公开（估计不会少）。第三个小孩名为Aislynn（女儿），出生于2024年3月，母亲是爱德华兹的正牌女友Shannon Jackson，两人共同抚养至今。第四个小孩名为Aubri（女儿），出生于2024年10月，母亲是网红Ayesha Howard，与前两个小孩一样，爱德华兹也不愿意承认且从未见过Aubri。与第一起纠纷不同的是，这次的裁决是在佐治亚州，最终佐治亚州法官做出了对爱德华兹有利的判决，每月只需要支付3222美元的抚养费（难怪当时东契奇的未婚妻要在加州打官司）。看到现在的爱德华兹，很难不想到曾经一位拥有众多私生子的球星——德怀特霍华德。

B | 霍华德的生涯走遍了美国，他也处处留情，至少有5个女人为霍华德生下私生子（3个儿子2个女儿），其中2个住在佛罗里达（东海岸），2个住在洛杉矶（西海岸），还有1个在休斯敦（南部）。单单是在大儿子Braylon身上，霍华德就支付了265万美元的抚养费（从出生到年满17岁，每月13000美元），直至2015年接受采访的时候，霍华德还透露，他自己每个月要支付超过1.6万抚养费。回到爱德华兹，显然他不缺钱。作为2020届的状元秀，爱德华兹拥有历史级别的篮球天赋，顶薪合同与商业价值是其努力的最好证明，下赛季他的年薪是4892万，未来还有希望签下一份总价超过3.5亿的超级顶薪。然而，他在场外对多名私生子女的抚养纠纷中表现出的冷漠与推诿，与其赛场上的拼搏精神形成刺眼反差，这种行为虽没有触犯法律，但显然不是道德层面所提倡的。值得一提的是，爱德华兹自己也没有父亲的陪伴，结果成为父亲之后，他连几个小孩的面都不愿意见一次——当私生活的混乱成为常态时，公众形象也会不可避免崩塌，真正的巨星，不仅要能驾驭球场，更应懂得在人生中承担责任才行啊。
