Woman Who Cut Off Daughter’s Arms Loses Her Job At Walmart

Walmart Baby Killer

Dena Schlosser, the woman who made headlines back in 2004 after she cut off her 10-month-old daughter’s arms, was fired from her position at Walmart after the company learned about her criminal history, according to The Houston Chronicle. Her employers were apparently oblivious to the fact that Schlosser had mutilated her baby in the name of God, that is, until a news crew decided to spill the beans.

Following the 2004 incident, Schlosser, whose child would later die from her injuries, was committed to a state mental hospital after her trial. According to WFAA, an insanity plea ultimately kept her out of prison. However, in 2008, a judged determined that the unstable woman no longer needed the services of the facility in which she was housed. Unfortunately, Schlosser was hospitalized once again in 2010.

Since most employers would be a little hesitant to hire a woman who cut off her 10-month-old daughter’s arms and spent quite a bit of time in professional care as a result, Schlosser hid this tidbit of information from the company when she applied for employment.

After learning that Schlosser, known to Walmart as Laettner, was hiding a bit of his past from its human resources department, the company decided to fire the woman from her position on Monday.

“Mrs. Laettner is no longer employed by the company,” a spokesperson from the company explained to WFAA. “All associates must pass a criminal background check as a condition of employment. If a charge does not result in a conviction, then we have no way of knowing an applicant’s previous criminal charges.”

The news that a baby killer had been working at the local neighborhood Walmart has had an effect on the community as well.

“For her to be in the hospital for such a short time, and then have the freedom that you and I enjoy, after what she did, I think is a shame and there should be an outcry from the public,” said former resident Natalie Elmoghrabi.

Rebecca Rodden seemed to be willing to give the company the benefit of the doubt. “Maybe Walmart just doesn’t know,” she said.

    Maybe Walmart didn't know? Would you hire someone with this kind of history, on purpose? I'm willing to give them the benefit of a doubt on this one. Especially if the NAME was even different.

    Can't believe she is not in a mental health facitity and cannot get out. She is running amuck! What if she hurts another child? Will they put her in jail or let her go?

    This bitch shoulda been shot. Don't care if she had mental issues or not.

    The omission alone is enough to get your butt fired at every place I've ever worked.

    It's funny that they won't let her work there, but they allow ones with previous drunk driving charges (some are on Probation/Parole from DUI offenses). I'd be more scared of the one with the drunk driving charge than this lady. But yeah, she got out a little too soon I think.

    I'm guessing most people believe that if you are accused of a crime then you are automatically guilty. Should felons be employed after they get out of prison? If they were charged then they should not have a job either. I think people who believe that are crazy or ignorant.

    Innocent until proven guilty. As for work, I know employers are hesitant to hire convicted felons, but if what's the point of releasing a person from prison if they can't get a legitimate job?
