Toddler’s horrific abuse and death leads to second arrest
A toddler who went through unimaginable pain and agony before she died from severe abuse at the hands of her caregiver, encouraged police to arrest another adult in the house for failing to seek out medical attention or report the abuse. This is definitley a step in the right direction for justice for child abuse victims.
The baby was being cared for by the family because the mother had custody revoked for some other form of abuse, which DCFS says is fairly common for a mother to dole out her children to various “friends” after their parenting rights have been revoked.
Cyleste Gonzales spent her last days in agony with a broken arm, a perforated intestine and bruises covering her little body, authorities say.
Her legal guardian, Sarah Mascorro Sifuentes, knew the 22-month-old was in pain but never took Cyleste to a doctor, authorities say. The child died Oct. 26 at a West Side apartment in the 2400 block of Oakhill Road.
Early Monday morning, authorities arrested Sifuentes, 31, and charged her with injury to a child by omission for failing to get Cyleste medical attention. Sifuentes was booked into Bexar County Jail, with bond set at $100,000.

Sarah Mascorro Sifuentes, you are a lazy bitch. I hope that baby or ANY child never sees you or anyone like you EVER.
