Severely tortured toddlers mom and her boyfriend arrested

A 17 month old boy who had cooking oil, heated in a frying pan, poured on his genitals as well as beaten to the point of sustaining spinal injuries is recovering, but the extent of his injuries and whether or not he’ll be able to walk again have not yet been reported.

Perhaps the boyfriend and the mother don’t know what it feels like to be punched in the stomach by someone 15X bigger than you and have frying grease poured on their genitals and a hair-dryer used to burn off their skin, so I recommend that they find out. If it’s good enough for their baby, surely it’s good enough for them.

We are failing in protecting our most vulnerable. I don’t know what can be done, if anything, but it seems like this happens far, far too often. Once is too much.

And of course! — It happened in Florida. Surprise. Surprise.

The mother of an Apopka toddler severely burned and beaten was arrested today on one count of child neglect, police said.

Marlita S. Stokes, 23, was at work when her boyfriend Darlanne Toussaint, 24, used his fist to smash the 17-month-old’s chest and back, and a blow dryer to burn the child’s skin. The boy who suffered second-degree burns on his genitals, back, chest and head, is in stable condition at Florida Hospital Orlando this morning.

Toussaint was baby-sitting girlfriend Marlita Stokes’ two children at the couple’s home in the 1900 block of Nicole Lee Circle when the incident occurred Thursday morning, police said. The other child was not hurt.

I hope these two get the same treatment they gave this innocent little boy. They are sick and need help. Jail will do them no good they need to be put in the crazy house for the rest of there lives.

i think that the comments left by all these people should be brought to action… i think there should be some kind of petition that allows torture to be brought on to those who chose to torture themselves. to harm a young innocent defenseless child is inhumane and they should be brought to justice.
i hope this boy lives a happy life and is too young to remember the so called “parents” he had. i hope he goes to another family that will look after him and love him as if he were their own.

People like this shouldnt be allowd to live. In a case like this i feel the death sentence should be brought back. How can a parent feel the need to abuse their children, some people out there are crying in pain because they are not able to concieve and here we have people that are given the most precious gift god can ever offer and this is the way to behave. What can a small defenceless child do to protect themselves, that is why parents are there to protect love and guide their children. The children are the future of this world. We have to be there to help them and mould them, I personally feel that these to should be brought to jusice!!!!!

God. i wish that mother and bastard boyfriend of hers get hot oil poured over them. That rubbish man couldnt find someone his age to pick on so he abuses a baby, blood coward. Im sure that his mother and father abused him and hated him. He is one sick s*** and the mother i wish she gets hell in jail.

I hope to god these two spend eternity in hell. I am legit crying over the inhumanity of this situation. I thank god everyday for having amazing parents, and great siblings. Phsycologically mental parents like those mentioned in this article should be hanged, and that would be a mercy for them. I am going to start an organization of child abuse awareness, for all those poor, innocent children who are killed everyday by their own parents.

this story is awful! i have a 17 month old and i love him with all my heart he is such a precious gift and i just do not understand how anyone could hurt any child wether its their child or someone elses!! why go thru the pain of pregnancy and child birth to have a child and then put the poor buba threw that kind of torture, i pray that this child has a great recovery and can go on to live a healthy, happy life with people who will cherish him the way he deserve to be, my thoughts are with u little man x

For the life of me I just can’t seem to understand some of these sick people. If you can’t deal with a child crying. Then you have no rights to be around them period. And if you have the nerves to do what this sick puppy did. I feel he should get the same treatment. Everything he done to that little baby should be done to him.

And about his mom she needs the same thing because I feel like you should take better care of your child. These babies depend on us when they come into this awful world. And she just let this happen to her child. I know if that punka** man did all of that to this baby. He did not just start to be mean to this baby.He had to have done something in front of her.Or she have had to notice something was wronge before it went this far.So she need her a** beat down too!

theres so much evil in this world and its never going to go away. theres always going to be horrible cruel unfeeling people out there doing those things. i wish we had a better justice system to give them what they deserve but there never will be. the cries of children will always be unheard. but I beleive those sorry bastards will get what they deserve. I believe God won’t let it go unpunished.

It’s disgusting how these people act toward children nothing in this world excuses their behavior nothing, their actions prove to all of us that evil really does exist in this world and it needs to be stopped immediately

this is disgusting and we have to stop it. child abuse of any kind should never happen because even if your mother only slaps you, the mental damage is unbarable. if these people cant control their tempers they should learn to use birth control instead.
