VICTORY!! THE JUDGE DENIED HER REQUEST FOR UNSUPERVISED PRIVILEGES AND JUSTICE HAS PREVAILED FOR THE CHILDREN!! I AM BEYOND RELIEVED THAT THEIR MEMORIES ARE PROTECTED AND WE WILL REMAIN VIGILANT TO ENSURE PUBLIC SAFETY STAYS THE TOP PRIORITY!!
Rebekah Amaya was found to be insane when she drowned her two children in a bathtub in 2003 she is now asking for unsupervised leave from the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo.
In 2005, Amaya was found not guilty by reason of insanity in connection with the Oct. 16, 2003, killings of 5-month-old Gabriel Amaya and 4-year-old Grace Headlee, a child she had from a previous marriage.
On Jan, 31, 2005, Prowers District Judge Douglas Tallman ordered Amaya to spend an undetermined amount of time at the state hospital.
On Jan. 3, 2008, Tallman issued an order granting Amaya's request for temporary removal from the hospital with supervision. Tallman said Amaya was not a threat to herself or the community.
He said mental-health experts believe Amaya's mental illness is in remission and in order for her to continue to progress in treatment, she needs to have community contact outside the institution.
According to Prowers County District Attorney Jennifer Swanson, Amaya has filed a motion with the court asking for increased privileges, which includes leaving the CMHIP campus at certain times without supervision. The court hearing has been set for April 28th, 2009 in Lamar, CO. Prowers District Judge Douglas Tallman is set to preside.
This petition is against her request to the 15th Judicial District Court for any type of extended or unsupervised priviledges that may be granted to Rebekah Amaya.
For the memory of Grace Headlee, Gabriel Amaya as well as for her own saftey - please do not grant Rebekah Amaya any further special priviledges which include unsupervised "trip" passes from the Colorado State Mental Health Institute at Pueblo.
Absolutely not and should never be allowed to be around children again for the rest of her life for ANY reason whatsoever!!!!!

No unsupervised trip or any outside contact. She is a concern to the public . Medication can help but can not trust this individual in society . Lock her up without any privileges. Two child deaths she should have gotten death .

If she is sane enough to make unsupervised trips and get married she’s sane enough to serve time for her horrible crimes.

I had the privilege of being Grace Headlee's Sunday school teacher. She was taken from of us far too early; and her little brother Gabriel from Rebekah Amaya. Her murderous acts will never be forgotten! Please do not grant Rebekah unsupervised visits nor her freedom!

This is just sick. How can they even consider letting her out on her own after what she did to those poor babies? Keep her locked up where she belongs.

Are you kidding me?? She killed two children. She should never see the light of day again let alone walk around town unsupervised. Keep her in the hospital for life.
