Born to a schizophrenic single mother, Head was sent to live with a family member at age 4. The new home was far from a safe haven, though. She was sexually abused for the next eight years by two older male relatives.

Today, I’m fine. I’m at work but I have a problem. I have emailed before and I’m still with the same problem.

My husband is dying of cancer but he abuses me.

I was at a shelter last month and returned Friday because he needed to eat. I returned because we don’t have children and there is noone that he trusts to come into the house to feed him.

A lot of bad things happened to him last month and he blames me for them because if I was at home the things wouldn’t have happened. Over the weekend he beat me bad and he didn’t let me go to work on Tuesday.

Last night things were ok but I’m worried about tonight and the future nights.

More than two decades ago, a newborn sick with fever was snatched from a New York City hospital, her frantic mother returning to the emergency room to find an empty crib. On Wednesday, police said the baby — now a woman — has been found.

Carlina White was just 19 days old when she disappeared from Harlem Hospital on Aug. 4, 1987. Police searched for her kidnappers but never found enough evidence to charge any suspects. Her mother, Joy White, always had a feeling that her baby was alive, her family said.

On Jan. 4, a woman known as Nejdra Nance, who was raised in Bridgeport, Conn., and now lives in Atlanta, contacted White, sending along baby photos that looked nearly identical to shots of Carlina posted on a missing children’s website. Nance told White she thought she may be her daughter.

“She said she just had a feeling, she felt different from the people raising her,” said Nance’s maternal grandmother, Elizabeth White, 71. “She searched, and then she found Joy.”

The son has been charged with murder in the Sunday evening incident.

Officers found Herschel P. Miller in medical distress when they arrived at his home, near Acworth, Sgt. Dana Pierce with Cobb County police said. Miller was transported to WellStar Kennestone Hospital, but did not survive.

Miller’s son, 32-year-old Christopher Miller, was arrested and charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and battery. He’s being held without bond.

“The preliminary indication is that Herschel Miller died as a result of a stress-induced cardiac event,” Pierce said.

An autopsy was done, but there has been no official finding on the cause of death, Pierce said. Toxicology tests are pending.
