Local Woman Pleads Guilty to Reckless Endangerment of a Child
August 13th, 2012
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (WGGB) – A local woman pleaded guilty Monday to reckless endangerment of a child.
34-year-old Mackenzie Tarjick admitted she never contacted authorities after learning her then-husband had repeatedly sexually abused a young girl.
Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan called the sexual abuse “horrific.”
In June, a Hampshire County jury found Tarjick’s former husband, Aaron Tarjick, guilty of 17 counts of child sex abuse.
He’s currently serving 19 to 25 years in state prison.
Mackenzie Tarjick will be sentenced in Hampshire Superior Court on August 20th.
throw her in jail for a long time, waste of space!!
People like that don’t even deserve to rot in jail! Disgusting human being!
Sick sick sick.
UGH Seriously? He’s guilty on 17 counts and gets a slap-and to think she KNEW about the incidents and didnt say anything to protect that child? This screams death penalty for both parties.
whats wrong with people..it not that hard to be mother …sick of seeing this kind of ****….
Hey you can go out and beat someone up and if the cops don’t see it they won’t arrest anyone! That is if you are not in a relationship! YOU have to go to court to prove YOUR case. You end up doing the police dept job for them! This world and it’s laws suck!!!
@kimberly did you not read he got 16-25yrs not a slap. She needs to be let loose to a bunch of parents out in a big oen field. Hoe they both rot in HELL
Sick, disgusting, pig! Hope he rots in hell! So should she! Poor excuse for a mother! This world is sick! Sad!
Kristy-guilty of 17 counts and jail time is16-25 (which means around 10-12 yrs)…thats a slap in my opinion. I agree though that they both should rott in hell:)
She probably used the excuse she was afraid of him, but she loved him. There sick people in this world that should not have children or be let near children.
This man should be put in general population and let the other prisoners know what he did, that way he will either die or be someone’s *****. He definitely will have no front teeth and will get what is due to him.
As for her she needs to be in jail for the rest of her life. She will not do good in prison when other inmates find out what she is in for. No one likes child molesters so she will get what is due to her. She will not last in general population.
Judges have to get stricter in these cases.
These people have taken the rights of this young person away. She is marred for life, will not trust anyone. Then these two people end up having rights. The criminal justice system is so wrong in sentencing people.
If you do a crime and found guilty you should lose all rights, no rights at all because you have imposed on someone else’s freedom.
Give Her the same. Knowing & accepting She is just as guilty.
