Cara LeBlanc Beats and Runs
Webster/Concord, NH - You’ve just had a hard day beating your eight-year-old stepdaughter nearly to death. Your arms are sore from pulling her up the stairs by her hair. Your legs are tired from kicking her back down the stairs again, time after time. You have friction burns from tying those restraints to a door, and frankly, it’s looking like the cops are gonna show up, since the little girl is in critical condition all of a sudden. What are you gonna do now?
For Cara LeBlanc, the answer was easy. She’s going to Disney World!
Police are looking for Cara LeBlanc today after she beat her stepdaughter almost to death. Police say that LeBlanc pushed the eight-year-old down a flight of stairs at least seven times. To get the little girl back to the top of the stairs, LeBlanc would drag her by her hair and push or kick her back down again. She also force fed the girl cereal, tied her hands and feet to a door, and when none of that vented LeBlanc’s rage, she proceeded to beat the child over a period of nine hours - until the belt broke and the little girl was no longer responsive.
Two other children in the home - one of them LeBlanc’s biological son - were unhurt, but did witness the abuse.
Finally, on Saturday, the little girl was taken to Concord Hospital. Nursing staff there hotlined the family for the obvious abuse, and the child was transferred to a Boston hospital for more intensive care. The child’s liver and kidneys were so damaged that they were in organ failure, I’m told, on Saturday. As of Monday night, the victim was slowly improving but remained critical.
On Sunday, Cara LeBlanc was for some reason not in police custody. One source tells me she had been questioned but there wasn’t enough evidence to hold her at that time. So LeBlanc bought an airline ticket to Orlando, Florida and hightailed it out of New Hampshire for a little vacation. So much for “don’t leave town”, huh?
The other two children in the home were taken into protective custody by the Division of Children, Youth and Families on Monday, and warrants had been issued for Cara LeBlanc’s arrest with country-wide extradition authorization. DCYF says they have investigated the family in the past, but found no evidence of abuse at that time. I guess they have more than enough evidence now.
Police in Florida and New Hampshire are now looking for 29-year-old Cara LeBlanc. She has outstanding warrants for first-degree assault and criminal restraint, and may be staying with a friend in the Orlando area.

This girl desirves to be tortured in a public forum day on end the murdered by beating. The poor 8 year old child in the hospital deserves to be lavished with love ….. if she lives. All the children in the home are going to need serious, possibly life long counseling. Children should be loved and cherished. This is just a heartbreaking event to anyone who has a heart.
