Kenneth E. Elkins, 13, Died of Alcohol Poisoning

My condolences to his family and friends.

Ken Elkins was hanging out with a 40 year old man, Leonard Wayne III, on April 16, 2006, together with two or three other adults.  Wayne purchased two bottles of liquor, and the group went to a vacant lot and set to drinking.  Elkins passed out and could not be revived.

Auburn-area man charged in teen's death from alcohol
By Christine Clarridge
Seattle Times staff reporter

A 40-year-old Auburn-area man with a history of alcohol problems was charged with manslaughter Wednesday for allegedly buying the whiskey that killed a 13-year-old boy.

Kenneth E. Elkins, died April 16 of alcohol poisoning after consuming enough liquor purchased by Leonard Wayne III to reach a 0.37 percent blood-alcohol level, nearly five times the adult legal limit for driving, according to charging documents filed in King County Superior Court.

Elkins had been hanging out with Wayne, Wayne's adult son and daughter and another young man when they all decided to drive to a liquor store on Auburn Way South, where Wayne bought a bottle of whiskey and a bottle of liqueur, prosecutors allege.

The group then drove to an abandoned baseball field and passed around the whiskey, the court papers say. Elkins was drinking way too much, and Wayne told him to slow down but didn't take the bottle away, according to the papers.

By the time the group returned to the home of Elkins' aunt, who was not there, Elkins was passed out in the back seat of the car, the court papers say.

Eventually, Elkins' sister arrived at the home and took Elkins into the house. She called their father, and together they tried to care for him. But he stopped breathing and could not be revived.

Wayne has a criminal record that includes robbery, a drug conviction and three convictions for alcohol-related offenses.

If convicted in Elkins' death, he could face more than four years in prison. Wayne is free pending arraignment, set for Sept. 5.

A man accused of buying liquor for a 13-year-old boy and doing little to stop him from gulping a lethal amount of it may now be the first person in King County to be held criminally responsible for such a death.

Leonard Wayne III -- a fellow Muckleshoot Indian Tribe member and longtime friend of the boy's father -- was charged Wednesday with second-degree manslaughter.

The boy's father, Robert Elkins, said Wednesday that he thinks such a charge is justified for Wayne and "anybody who does that, and this happens to a child."

"I kind of blame myself, too, you know," he said. "I wasn't there."

A warrant was issued for Wayne's arrest. If convicted, the 40-year-old man, who is known by the name "Layback," could face roughly four years in prison.

Robert Elkins found his son passed out on the couch, took off some of the boy's clothes and carried him to bed. He wishes he'd realized that his son was in such bad shape that he could not survive the night.

"I didn't know how much he drank," he said. "If I did, I would have called an ambulance."

Kenneth's sister checked on him periodically and, as she tried to roll him over later, discovered that his lips were blue. She called 911, but medics were unable to revive him.

The boy's blood-alcohol level was 0.37 percent -- nearly five times the adult legal limit to drive a car.

His family is still trying to cope with his death. Robert Elkins has gotten a few of his six children into grief counseling and has arranged for alcohol and drug counseling for one of them -- along with himself.

King County prosecutors say they can't recall any other case in which they've charged someone for buying the liquor that caused someone's death.

"By providing alcohol to a 13-year-old, he acted with criminal negligence," said prosecutor's spokesman Dan Donohoe.

Sheriff's spokesman John Urquhart said teenagers die of alcohol poisoning too frequently across the country, but "being able to find out who provided the alcohol is difficult. From that standpoint, the charge is unusual."

Investigators from the Sheriff's Office, which provides contract police services on the Muckleshoot reservation, identified Wayne with the help of video-surveillance footage from the liquor store, according to court papers

[Ryan Elkins]

roses are red violets are blue,
we are having a hard time without you
we miss you and luv u.
i remember the good times we had,
since you been away we are all sad,
but we hope u are glad.
i remember you in so many ways,
why was u the one who went away.
how short our lifes can be
we will remember you,
just wacth over us and yuo'll see.
What would u do when our lifes come crashing down?
what would u do if we woke up 6 feet underground?
What would u do if all of ur friends turn their back?
Would you be ok with that?
Now all that i learned to love
is falling apart
blood drips from above.
it been over 2 years since u left us all
and everyone waits for ur call.
i see no reason why you left us behind,
i do not know if im dead or alive.
2 full bottles
1 with blood, the other one filled with beer,
dont woory i do not believe in fear
sadness falls in my lap
you was gone in a snap.

Doing shyt I shouldn't be doing. Juss trying to pass this bumpy road. Hearing shyt I don't wanna hear. Disapoited in alot of people but mostly myself. I can't blame it on others bkuz it's all on me. There's no way around it this tyme. I'm alot more smarter in my head but juss can't believe it it's telling me shyt I should be doing but I juss turn my back & do the complete oppsite. I try to help others but at tha end it juss fucks me over. I really can't do shyt right. I juss need to clear my head & focus on myslef but it's juss to hard to do. Ya know? I juss wanna say fuck it all & let everything go part of me is saying to do it then another part is saying to don't do it. I know what is right for me but at the same tyme i don't. No one juss understands where i'm trying to come from. Am I really gunna be the only one that's gunna be doing good? Am I gunna stand alone through all of this?

Alright, I've been clean for 50 days now and I feel great but yet like shit because I'm stressed and I wanna go home and just do great for myself! I miss everybody like crazy! I only want the best for myself and the rest of the family but I honestly think it won't happen because everytime we all try one of us fuck up then it goes in order... If one of us fuck up we all fuck up! I'm glad to hear good news about the family but I'm just so scared that their gonna give up and just say fuck it! But I just hope that I will do good once I get out of here besides fucking up because I really do want the best for myself and stay sober as much as I can but I just hope that I won't let anything get get in my way or bring me down. And I miss you like crazy! I'm kinda getting to the point of being straight minded still doing my best to get closer towards it but yet everytime I talk or think about you I still end up crying at the end! I love and miss you!

you know i havent went and seen you in a long time and dont see why im writing on this cause i doubt youll read it but every day i think about you or you cross my mindmy eyes tear up cause i know ill never get you back as my brother(cause you were more then a cousin to me)you helped me get through school and when you left i started to drink cause id rather die and hang with you then go through pain without you, school sucked cause you always loved school and i hated it but i went cause i could hang out with you.then i was taken away and i hated school still but i went because you liked it. and im graduating this year for you and my grandfather, im graduating because i know if you were still here i wouldnt be the only family member in school.and when i get that deploma its not just for me but you and im gonna stop by and give you it okay i owe you that much bro. i love you soo fucking much and i hope when i die i see you.
2011 was supposed to be are year!
ps i might even be a teacher cause i know when we were younger you wanted to be one.

Kenny,
I don't know what to do bro. I have over four months clean but also lost and confused like no other. You know a lil over 2 weeks for it to be 5 years for you now and not sure if i wanna be clean because of it, I don't wanna feel the pain just like tomtom said I would rather drink then feel the pain either, it is to much to deal with. I guesse we'll see what happens when he day comes! I love you!

[Monique Underwood-Elkins]

Hey bro,
Gonna have 6 months clean on mothersday I believe. No BS too! Real talk! I miss you SO much.Everything is just falling down hill with EVERYBODY! I have NO BODY clean to be by my side anymore! Been wanting to say fuck it && I have a chance every secondof the day but i choose not to becuase I know that it will let SO many people down! Watching && hearing that everybody is not not doing good maked me wanna! But I know it's not the right thing! Maybe I shoul be the one that brakes the cycle!(: But I love&& Miss you SOOOO much!

[Momo]

Kenny,
I miss you sooo much bro! I've been thinking about you ohhh sooo much the past few days! I have 236 days clean also! I just can't wait for my number to be called to be with you! Time has flied by so quick it doesn't even feel like you've been gone for five years now! I feels like a dream.... I know it's not though! I'm also tired of all BS that has been going on! I can't keep on doing this on my own! I can't cry on my own anymore! It WAY to much for me to handle! It's hard to get rid of everything that has been stressing me out! I hold all my anger in ! This isn't me! I have NOT known who I am in years! Now that i don't have drugs to cover everything up everything is hitting me all at once! Why did it have to me you? YOU were there for me! NO ONE will EVER take your spot! But why am i clean? I just don't believe there is NO point at times! Don't know why though! I just wanna say fuck it for ONE NiGHT! I wanna feel goooood in my own skin! I don't wanna be someone I'm not! I dunno though? I miss you bro! <3
