Aleshia Smith was sentenced to more than two and a half years in prison for the 2006 death of her 4-year-old son Quachaun Brown. Authorities believe that Smith's 18-year-old boyfriend Jose Calderon beat the child after he knocked over the TV set on Friday, January 27; last year, the NY Times wrote the Calderon "grabbed [Brown] by the ankles, swung him and hurled him into the wall" and recent reports noted Calderon used his fists, a belt, and a plastic bat to bet the child. Calderon allegedly continued to beat Brown throughout the weekend.
Smith and Calderon only called the paramedics about three days later on Monday, January 30, 2006, and doctors determined that Brown had been dead for hours. It was also revealed that Smith had been investigated by the Administration for Children's Services many times before Brown's death.
Last month, Smith had pleaded guilty to failing to get prompt medical attention for her son. Her lawyer said she accepted the plea deal because prosecutors may have made her children testify against her. A lawyer for Calderon, who has pleaded not guilty to murder, claims Smith had beaten her son and that Calderon tried to stop the abuse.
Last year, the Norwood News had an article about the wake and funeral for Brown and spoke to a neighbor who said, “Sometimes we can’t look to ACS to always be there. We as a community have to be there.”

When you're born "Quachaun Brown", I think your life is already mapped out for you.
this is sad. when is the boyfriend being sent 2 jail?
#1, when you post things like that, it's pretty obvious you're a mental defective.
#3 - is it?
Society's reached the point where they should be mandatory testing for the right to 1) have children 2) vote.
Very sad that this happens to kids at all, and even sadder still that so many people think that children services are more to blame than the poeple who actually do the beating..
"I love my children." I doubt that. More like she thinks they're leeches. And she obviously loved her boyfriend more since she didn't kick him out the first time he hit her children.
this woman and "her man" need to be shot dead.
Wow ! A max of 2.5 years . That's justice for being an accessory to the death of her own child . American justice sucks like a bad Blow Job after a watching a Porno flick with ur girlfriend ! Posted by; "Still Not Amused"
I was a neighbor to Aleshia Smith "Peaches" and her kids. We all miss Quay terribly. Her life changed for the worse the second that S.O.B. moved in. We all seen it. Her kids would come to my house and constantly ask for food. I always thought "damn they're greedy". Never once realizing these kids were STARVING. Seeing that little boy in that coffin was probably one of the worst things in life I've ever seen and I pray to God I never have to see it again. I hope that dirty f*cking no good bastard ex of her FRIES. And for an update. I recently seen one of her daughters on the subway with Peaches mother....she looks AWESOME. Healthy, happy, relaxed...AWESOME.
