Back in October, the Lovefraud community was shocked to learn that the toddler son of our own contributor, Cappuccino Queen, went to his father’s home for a court-ordered visitation and did not return. Today the child’s father, Joaquin Rams, was arrested for his murder.
Joaquin Rams arrested for allegedly killing Prince McLeod Rams, on WJLA.com.
Dr. Liane Leedom will be posting about this case soon.

I don’t even know how to address Cappucino Queen here.
I am so sorry about this. Horrified that this guy was and is indeed a killer. Relieved that he is in custody, and also that CQ has an answer and is somewhat (or “allegedly,” until the case is finsihed) vindicated.
It’s horrifying, too, that we essentially watched this in real time here. I know of no other instance of this. Horrifying is the only word I can come up with, over and over.
Cappucino Queen I am so sorry.

Jesus said that anyone who harms one of these (children) would be better off to have a mill stone tied around his neck and tossed into the sea. I can only pray that Rams gets what he deserves in this life and I have no doubt he will get what is coming to him in the next. I believe he will come before the one truly JUST judge.
When Liane published the story about Dr. Amy Castillo’s x killing her children AFTER she warned the judge about the threats he had made to kill them to get back at her, I thought this was a RARE event, but having watched the news for such stories since that time, I find it is NOT a rare event at all. Yet courts continue to give “parental rights” to people who do not deserve the name parent just because there is a DNA connection.
Sad. But then WE know what a psychopath is don’t we, and it would be nice if the family courts did.

Just the past week, I was checking up on CQueen’s blog to find out how she was doing.
On the one hand, I’m weeping for Prince and CQueen right now. That poor little baby boy! You would almost wish it was natural causes. But it wasn’t, and I hope they get to nail the bastard for the 1st degree murder of his son, and possibly the death of his mother and ex-gf.
I feel angry too, when I remember CQueen’s bog story on her blog on how the hospital treated her. I hope that the personnel that wanted to drag her out of the hospital room so that “the father” could be with his dying son eat shit!!!!!!
This was soooooo planned! His “illness” before, the information of the middle woman on his ‘fevers’ and ‘seizures’… It sounds to me that he was setting up a hospital record of an “inherent problem” with Prince, so that complications of natural causes would be the first considered cause by the hospital and a drowning would go under the radar.
I’m so sorry CQueen and baby Prince.

Thanks for this Donna. I am so sorry for Prince and Cuppicino Queen. I admit I was one who doubted. I was wrong. I am sorry.

Kim,
I had that same reaction when I first read Cappuccino Queen’s story. It seemed so textbook sociopathic and far out, that the system was so broken, I couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact that this could be really happening. The events leading up to Prince’s death were so horrific, so terrible, so surreal.
The sadness I feel for Cappuccino Queen is deep. She endured our worst case scenario, the last step we hoped the sociopath would never take. We know that they are capable of such evil as killing an innocent child and we hold our collective breaths until they move on to another target. But to see it happening and to be helpless in the process, is heartbreaking.
This community is here for you Cappuccino Queen, we are so sad for your loss. I am sad for your loss.
Your ex will get what’s coming to him in hell. He has signed his pact with the devil a long time ago. No doubt he murdered his ex girlfriend too.

I didn’t remember hearing/reading that he had taken out life insurance policies on Prince.
Was the judge aware of this? What a glaring red flag!
There might be appropriate circumstances for life insurance for a baby, but shouldn’t that officially trip alarms? And the other parent get notified independently, and authorities notified? An unemployed person who behaves sociopathically takes a policy out on his baby. My head is cracking open. My face is hurting.
I hope there will be a Prince’s law eventually that helps to prevent some future child’s death.
This is so horrible.

Spaths and life insurance policies go hand in hand. My spath talked me into taking a small one out on myself with him as the beneficiary.
My spath BIL took one out on my spath sister before they were even married.
And now it looks like this guy has been taking life insurance policies out on all his previous victims, so of course he would want one on his baby.
I hope the spath gets what he deserves.

Cappucinno Queen and Prince’s story is so sad;I’ve been to her blog and read it.Too many babies are dying at their parent/s abusive or neglectful hands.The courts are just clearing cases rather than showing compassion and concern for these children!

Sky, I am worth more dead than alive. My xspath BF has a policy on me. My mom had one on me..well sorry mom I outlived you. My X wife has one also, but she and my son’s will benefit from that, so I am cool with that. Everything I own will go to my xwife and son’s, not that they will want much, my sentimental treasures are priceless to me, they will be tossed in the trash when I go. I hope somebody will love my dog’s, but I doubt that also..I am in no hurry to go..No tellin how many peeps are waiting on me to kick the bucket. Suicide would make those policy’s void and null, but hey if somebody can benefit from my death more power to em, I never was that greedy myself…

I’ve had life insurance policies for all of my children since they were newborns. The payout is $10,000 – enough to bury them should the unthinkable happen. I plan ahead for bad days, that much is true. But I wasn’t interested in getting gaining financially from any of my children’s deaths.
I remember CQ’s writings about how she ended up paying this man’s bills while he sat playing video games. The first things that crossed my mind when I read articles about his arrest were 1) how did he manage to pay for the policies?, and 2) he was banking on this little boy’s death. Maybe initially he was hoping for natural causes because of the seizures, I don’t know. But it seems he got impatient and decided to move things along.
God, it makes me ill just to write that.
He’s a monster, and he’s also a very stupid man. Maybe he got cocky that he got away with the other two and figured this would be no different. In the aftermath of an acrimonious custody case, with CQ being so hypervigilant about visitation, he was incredibly stupid to think he could get away with something so easily detected.
That poor sweet baby. My heart just aches for CQ. There’s nothing anyone can say to make any of this better for her.
