underestimated the domestic threat posed by a Tampa man now accused
of throwing his girlfriend's infant son out a car window.
According to a 13-page report from the Florida Department of
Children and Families, Jasmine Bedwell told caseworkers that
Richard McTear Jr. beat her on two occasions and threatened to harm
her son.
McTear is jailed on charges of kidnapping and murder after he
allegedly threw 3-month-old Emanuel Murray Jr. out a car window on
May 5.
An investigator from child protective services didn't think
McTear posed a serious threat because the mother promised to get an
injunction against him.
McTear's criminal history, which includes kidnapping
and burglary, was largely overlooked.
