Waukegan 6-year-old stabbed to death, mother “person of interest”

Monday, April 7th, 2008

A 6-year-old was found stabbed to death in Waukegan, Illinois, a far northern suburb of Chicago. Police have brought in the mother for questioning as a “person of interest”, but the woman is not under arrest.

Officers responding to a call about 4:40 a.m. in the 4200 block of Hickory Hills Drive found a woman with cuts on her hands and wrists, according to a statement by Waukegan police.

The body of the woman’s daughter, whom authorities identified as Evelyn Vazquez, was found in an adjacent apartment, the statement said. An autopsy conducted Monday afternoon determined that Evelyn died of multiple stab wounds in the neck and upper chest, said Lake County Coroner Richard Keller.

Madonna adopting Indian baby

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Apparently Africa has had enough of Madonna’s nonsense, giving her the runaround in her attempts to adopt another child. So Madonna is now saying, “Screw you guys! I’m going to India!”

Sources say she will start looking once she is done with the promotional work for her upcoming album Hard Candy.

Her husband Guy Ritchie is reportedly supporting her in this endeavour.

Bollywood choreographer Sandip Soparrkar, who had spent some time with Madonna’s family, has also adopted an Indian baby.

“We spoke about how there are so many children in India who need homes”, says Soparrkar

According to a source: “Madonna was very taken with Soparrkar. He told her there were orphans who would melt her heart. Guy was against the idea, but when she wants something, she gets it.”

That last sentence is a keeper. Does Madonna keep your testicles in a little box next to the bed, Guy? Try making a hit movie and maybe she’ll give in to you once in a while.

Detroit 3-year-old shoots self in head

Monday, April 7th, 2008

There’s been yet another handgun accident. What’s really tragic is that these kinds of accidents could easily be avoided.

A 3-year-old girl, who found a gun in a bedroom in her home on Detroit’s west side, shot herself in the head this afternoon.

Detroit Police said the shooting took place at the girl’s home in the 12800 block of Lahser around 2:30 p.m.

The girl found the handgun, reportedly owned by one of her parents, and shot herself in the right side of the head. At least one of her parents was home at the time of the shooting.

The girl did survive, but her current condition is unknown.

Mom leaves baby alone on floor in locked apartment

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Sheesh, leaving your 1 year old home alone is bad enough when they’re in a crib, but to leave them on the floor?? And even worse, the cops couldn’t even track down the mother for 7 hours. How long was she going to leave the baby there? Oh, and this is shocking, mom was also caught with drugs.

A young mother will stand before a judge on Monday, after she allegedly left her infant child inside her locked apartment and her seven and 8-year-old children on the outside.

Police have charged 26-year-old Yahsmin Graves after an officer on routine patrol spotted her older children outside an apartment building in the 900 block of Bank Street on Saturday.

According to a police report, the 8-year-old child told the officer that the infant was inside the apartment.

The officer found a way inside and found the infant on the floor alone.

Australian man has baby with daughter

Monday, April 7th, 2008

“She’s my sister AND my daughter!” Ew, the creepy factor has been dialed up to 11 on this story. An Australia man is in a consensual incestuous relationship with his own daughter, who has given birth to the man’s baby. The couple is now on a media blitz trying to get people to accept their illicit love affair. Uh, yeah, ain’t going to happen.

Jenny Deaves was 31 when she was reunited with her father John Deaves, who separated from her mother three decades before. Shortly afterwards, she had considered embarking on a sexual relationship with him, she told the Nine Network.

Jenny Deaves said not long after meeting her father, she began to see him as a man first and a father second.

“I was looking at him, sort of going, oh, he’s not too bad,” she said.

“Like you might look at a man across the bar at a nightclub.”

John Deaves, who is 61, said he knew it was illegal to have sex with his child but emotions soon overcame him.

“Emotions take over, as people no doubt realise, there are times during your life where emotions do rule the heart, it rules the head,” he said.

“I knew it was illegal, of course I knew it was illegal but you know, so what.”

Mother fatal victim of car chase

Monday, April 7th, 2008

A 15-year-old in Minneapolis driving a stolen car was being chased by police when the teen rammed the car into a mother driving herself and her 6-year-old son to Sunday school. The woman was killed, and her son is in critical condition. In a gross injustice, the teenager only received minor injuries.

The boy, who ran from the crash scene at Lake Street and Stevens Avenue and was arrested inside a Kmart store, likely will face several felony charges, including criminal vehicular homicide, Minneapolis police Sgt. William Palmer said.

Police pursued the suspect’s car for about a mile and a half before the chase was called off near Lake Street and Chicago Avenue because of concern for the public’s safety, Palmer said. The crash happened about a half-mile down the street.

“This was a very quick incident,” he said.

The Hennepin County medical examiner’s office identified the victim as 26-year-old Hanna Abukar, of Minneapolis.

Omar Jamal, of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center, spent Sunday consoling Abukar’s husband and friends. He said Abukar had been driving her 6-year-old son and a 13-year-old neighborhood boy to Sunday school when the incident occurred.

“She was a good wife, mother and member of the community,” Jamal said. “It’s a tragic loss.”

Supervisor saves baby from hotel room toilet

Monday, April 7th, 2008

The only surprise we want to find in our hotel room is a mint on the pillow.

Cathy Masic couldn’t believe what she saw when she ran into the second-floor hotel room in Niagara Falls on Saturday morning.

In that room stood Stacy Lay, one of the housekeepers Masic supervises, speechless and hemorrhaging, pointing to the toilet.

There, Masic saw, was the baby that Lay had just given birth to, lying on his side, purple and motionless.

Masic had been told moments before that the 20-year-old Lay had given birth in a toilet. The quiet, hard-working housekeeper had never told anyone she was pregnant, although her bulging belly had led some co-workers to wonder.

When Masic ran into the hotel room, she was expecting to find a tiny fetus, maybe three months along. The baby in the toilet, though, appeared full-term, she said.

The infant’s health has been stabilized, and he is currently on a breathing machine.

Florida man charged with taping himself molesting children

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Matthew Kent Sheley of Hollywood, Florida, has been arrested for child molestation after police found hundreds of graphic videotapes in his apartment, several of which police allege show Sheley molesting two children.

Investigators on Sunday released images of a little girl’s handcuffed arm bearing a distinctive birthmark. It was taken, police said, from a videotape of her being molested by a South Broward man. Police hope someone will recognize the images and contact them, police spokesman Andrew Casper said.

Detectives also said videotapes indicate a second child was abused by the same suspect, Matthew Kent Sheley, 36, Casper said. There is no identifying description yet of the second child.

Police arrested Sheley on Friday in Hollywood on one count of sexual performance by a child after investigators saw the first girl on a videotape found in Sheley’s former residence in Hallandale Beach, Casper said. Detectives have since reviewed other tapes uncovered and said one more girl was forced to perform sexual acts on camera.

“We’re still trying to get more victims,” Casper said. “He’s been transient in South Florida for 10 years. He’s probably left behind a lot of victims. We don’t know what we’re going to find.”

Christian group protests school “cross dressing” event

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Good thing we have the Voice of Christian Youth America looking out for our elementary school children, because we all know that if a 4th grade boy puts on a wig he’ll immediately be INFECTED WITH THE GAY.

Students at Pineview Elementary in Reedsburg had been dressing in costume all last week as part of an annual school tradition called Wacky Week. On Friday, students were encouraged to dress either as senior citizens or as members of the opposite sex.

A local resident informed the Voice of Christian Youth America on Friday. The Milwaukee-based radio network responded by interrupting its morning programming for a special broadcast that aired on nine radio stations throughout Wisconsin. The broadcast criticized the dress-up day and accused the district of promoting alternative lifestyles.

“We believe it’s the wrong message to send to elementary students,” said Jim Schneider, the network’s program director. “Our station is one that promotes traditional family values. It concerns us when a school district strikes at the heart and core of the Biblical values. To promote this to elementary-school students is a great error.”

Schneider co-hosts “Crosstalk,” a nationally syndicated call-in Christian radio show.
After the program aired, both the school and Reedsburg School District office were flooded with calls complaining about the event.
