Cindy would never harm a child.This is an another example of our judiciary making a bad accident into something more and destroying a family.

Cindy is my neighbor.She accidently dropped the baby.It was terrible but it was a accident.

Shannon, SBS can be misdiagnosed. Please do not make judgements like this. This WAS an accident!! Cindy is the sweetest, most caring person you will ever meet. This is a tragedy. I wonder how some people can sleep at night. Glen you are so right!!!!

I disagree that extensive injuries of this nature can be caused"accidentally". Neighbor or not, you never know who someone truly is when nobody's watching.

Everyone at some point in their lives have made judgements against another without the knowledge behind the story. You have the choice to voice your opinion however when doing so please remember there are two family's who are related that stand together yet have been destroyed by this event. I dont believe anyone listed here has read the many doctor/police reports in-depth to be able to claim that they know this was not an accident. The media always seems to focus on guilt before innocents. If the evidence is so strong ask yourself why it took 9mths for an arrest. Remember the headline say "accused" not "guilty".

You are right Debbie. Look at most of their "breaking headlines" stories. They only report the story to make it sound "juicy" at someone else's expense. If you read other credible news reporting agencies, that have skilled reporters, the same topics are reported on fairly and legally. The Patch apparently is more concerned with "hits" on their site to appeal to advertisers. They are no better than the junk you see near the check-outs at grocery stores about a bunch of gossip stories. Most of the reporting on this site is most likely done by an angry person who was picked on all her life and now has the opportunity to "get even" with people. Grow up....

This incident happened in February. She was arrested yesterday. The Investigation has taken over eight months. It has involved many doctors and agencies as you can read from the article. I believe that this is not a case of just pointing a finger. These are serious charges that have been thoroughly investigated by the KCSO before an arrest was made. If she is innocent of these charges it will be proven in court. If not I hope she is severly punished as a defenseless baby is the victim here and who knows what quality of life the child will have in result of it's injuries.

mm. I am a neighbor of Cindy's and go to church with her. She is one of the sweetest people I know, and I saw how she was with her own child. There is no way under the sun that I would believe that she did this purposely. Absolutely not.

Kendall County Deputy Craig French was quoted in the Beacon stating that "The boy had an impact on his head as a result of the shaking."Does that mean they think that not only did she skake the baby she hit his head against something.RIDICULOUS!

Jv in Michigan

Cindy is my cousin and I have known her since I held her as a baby. I watched her grow up and she even lived with me for a time in the late 80s and early 90s. She is a person of high quality and one of the most caring, loving and honest people I know. I would trust her with my children, pets and even my own life. She was ecstatic when she finally had a child of her own and we would talk regularly and she would keep me posted on her life. If Cindy says it was an accident, BELIEVE HER! I have witnessed the atrocities of the DHS and heve watched them break up families to keep their numbers high and the funds rolling in. Google it before you argue. Because of this agency, parents must think twice before taking their children to the emergency room. A simple bump on the head can turn into a nightmare of legal fees just to meet this agencies quotas. Has anyone asked how the baby is? No. People just want to see the drama. I will end by repeating myself. CYNTHIA ROSENWINKEL IS NOT CAPABLE OF THIS! I suggest that everyone with sympathy toward someone that is unjustly accused start a fund for the legal fees this poor, innocent person will have to pay to fight this outrageous injustice! I'll watch from Michigan to find where to send my money!

"A simple bump on the head can turn into a nightmare of legal fees just to meet this agencies quotas." A simple bump on the head? Did you read the article??? The baby has Shaken Baby Syndrome and was taken to a hospital know for PEDIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE. If it was that bad, of course there was going to be an investigation, and of course they are going to take a long time to investigate the person who was responsible for the baby at the time. It would be stupid not to. Your opinion doesn't matter here. She may or may not be guilty. It is up to the courts now. What is important is the baby. It disgusts me that out of all the comments, not one asked if the baby (the ACTUAL VICTIM here) is okay. Shame on all of you.

OK THIS IS IMPORTANT and you must read this if you've read all the previous post!
The accused is my very best friend of 30 years and is the best person, friend, wife and Mother you would ever know and all she needs is your prayers!

Due to this ACCIDENT, the integrity of her devotion to her 4 year old son is being questioned and she is the most beautiful person and Mother you would ever meet. You must also know that her husband is a wonderful man who beleives in the Lord as she does and has stood beside her every step of the way, rightly so. This is devsting to the two of them, as it is for their young son. These Three are the victims.

The one thing you need to know is that this had nothing to do with her own Child; she was doing a favor and had an accident with another child. An accident is what it was and can be proven! That child is ok and he is with is family as is his sister, which Cindy was also watching at the time of the accident! Her son is not with his family and is a very confused young boy after being away from his family since this accident in February.

This is only touchy for those who think DCFS of Kendall County is always right; know they are not and defintely not correct with this decision. I can gaurantee this girl/lady is the most wonderful person you would ever know and wouldn't hurt a fly! Feel free to add your positive comments to this post and show your Support for Cindy and her family. They truly need and deserve your prayers!

My best friend! – I want you to know that we all know what a wonderful person you are! I don’t understand how such a tragedy could happen to such a wonderful person, Mother and family! I would have never thought this could happen to a person like you. We’ve known each other for 30 years and I have never known you to be harmful or the bit mean to anyone. How can DFS and the courts ...see someone you’re not; the complete opposite?

It's amazing how a slip and fall in the snowy winter could cause all this. All of us supporting you know that you would have protected that child at all cost while you were falling if you could have.

I continue to remember
How you would never go places if your son could not go or you didn't consider it safe
You played in the dirt with him
How you took him everywhere as long as it was safe for him
Have him by your side in the garden
How protective you were over him and not overly; I would say just enough
Let him feed the horses with you
How you would let him enjoy life as a boy
I remember when you would walk with him by your side at our Family events
Play with him in the pool
I remember the wonderful birthday parties you had for him and how much he enjoyed them
He is a lovely son and adores you above all others and rightfully so
You are a Wonderful Mother and nobody can deny you of that!

It's amazing how a slip and fall in the snowy winter could cause all this. All of us supporting you know that you would have protected that child at all cost while you were falling if you could have.

Why anyone would want to ruin this child’s life by keeping him from such a lovely Mother and Father and wonderful home is beyond me.

I asked God today, Why
Why you
Why your son
Why not the young siblings of the child who was killed by her/his mother
Why not the young children who were driven into the lake last year by their Mother
Why Cindy
Why her son
Why not those who do not properly clothes or feed their children
Why not those children who live on the streets or must fend for themselves
Why you
Why your son
Even God could not answer; he knows you are a wonderful Mother
God continues to watch over you and is providing you strength
The Lord will continue to whisper in the ears of those who determine your fate
God will place his grace upon you and your son
The Lord will provide enough knowledge to those that have your son's Life at hand
And they will see the light; they too will come to understand
You are a Wonderful Mother and nobody can take that from you!

Have faith -- this will be resolved in your favor -- I have this faith and pray it's sooner than later!

Praying for Cindy and her entire family

Thank You for filling me in on the facts LADIES!

Isn't it entirely possible that this child already had an injury consistent with SBS, and this poor woman dropped her accidently, which would be consistent with the impact on the head? What i am saying maybe the child was abused previously by someone other than the accused.

Yorkvillian....YES I read the article. Did you read my whole post before criticizing? NO. I asked how the child was. Now for all of you vigilantes looking for justice just quoting the article, it was written by a person that wasn't there from info of people that weren't there. Cindy slipped and fell. The baby bumped its head. Simple as that. That's what she told me and as I have stated previously, and I'll stake my life on it. She called 911 because she is conscientious and loving and worried for the baby. A criminal does not do that.

My heart aches for Cindy and her family...I have known them for a long time...praying and believing for justice for them.

If you believe for one second that the newspaper doesn't include all the details, you are very ignorant in life. I've seen it all, lived it all and have learned alot. I can appreciate your advocacy for this baby. BUT, there is sooooo much more to this story. The newspaper won't print for many reasons, one, not a great story, two, maybe Cindy wasnt allowed to say anything to them, as they would pick and choose what they use anyway. The medical opinion, hello, was
"common with shaken syndrome" there are many things that can be common with that. Watch forensic science, dr. g, medical mysteries, whatever. When all the facts are in, I'll send all you non Christian people some ketchup to eat your words with. God is the only Judgement, so keep your inaccurate assumptions to yourself and find a life. Did anyone talk about the marks on Cindy from her fall?

Some things never change... Here is an example of where hearsay should be applied in a case brought before a judge. Everyone is pretty much saying that she is a decent mother and person. People that know her, in this case looks to be the most credible info. The corruption and misjudgement of the athorities is documented, well known and a real problem. I think based on the fact that she called 911 and that it has taken so long to build a case against her, reflects some of the BS that could be going on behind the scene. It appears that politics is the issue here. Operating funds for these agencies involved, is solely based on case load. It is an evil screwed up system with the wrong people at the helm. Good luck to the families involved. Thats all there is to it, luck.......

It appears that someone slept through all of 2012.
