Child Abuse

Toddler crushed to death by obese relative

A toddler’s aunt who reportedly weights upwards of 800 pounds, sat on him and crushed his skull.

Geeze. I used to think that fat people ruined their own health, but now their problem killed an innocent baby - how sick and awful! Plus, there are several reports of previous child abuse by Child Protection Services, so the police investigation is going to determine whether or not this was done on purpose.

MT will file this under child abuse until new information proves otherwise…even if it wasn’t done on purpose, the little boy shouldn’t have been alone with a bed ridden aunt who weighs 800 hundred, frickin’ pounds!

LA JOYA - Authorities suspect a morbidly obese, bedridden woman caused the skull fracture that killed her 2-year-old nephew earlier this week.

The toddler - Eliseo Gonzalez Jr. - died Tuesday after police found him unresponsive at her home on the 800 block of Rancho Escondido, on the city’s east side

Hidalgo County sheriff’s deputies remain tight-lipped about how the injury was inflicted, but Justice of the Peace Bobby Contreras said Friday they believe the woman somehow fell on the child.

Contreras, who pronounced the toddler dead at Rio Grande Regional Hospital in McAllen, estimated the boy’s aunt weighed more than 800 pounds.
