A father has been arrested after bringing his infant to the emergency claiming that the infant accidentally broke his leg. Investigators and doctors concluded that the femur bone could not have broken by accident and alledge the fracture was a result of abuse.

Sylvester’s 45-day-old child was taken to Baptist Hospital with a fracture to the left thigh. The hospital reported the injury didn’t appear to be accidental.

He is charged with Felony Child Abuse.

A 2-year-old girl in Florida was killed after the Burmese Python her family kept as a pet got hold of the child and bit and strangled her.

The dangers of owning an exotic pet became all too real for one mother today as her boyfriend’s pet snake kills her baby girl. Sumter County Sheriff’s authorities confirm that a 8 1/2 foot-long Burmese python snake killed the mother’s 2-year-old girl after the snake escaped from its container and attacked the baby in her room.

Two-year-old baby Shaiunna Hare was pronounced dead on Wednesday morning after Sumter County Sherriff’s Office received an emergency call that a snake killed a baby.

The owner of the Burmese python snake is Charles Jason Darnell. Darnell, 32, who lives in the home with the baby’s mother, Jaren Hare, 19, reportedly told investigators that he put the python in a bag before putting it into a glass cage Tuesday night.

Lori Drew, a woman who had been indicted in a MySpace hoax that authorities say led to a girl’s suicide has had her case dismissed by a federal court. Drew had been accused of setting up a fake MySpace page and luring 13-year-old Megan Meier into an online relationship which she then abruptly ended telling Megan, “You’re a shitty person, and the world would be a better place without you in it.”

The decision by U.S. District Judge George H. Wu will not become final until his written ruling is filed, probably next week. Wu said he was concerned that if Drew was found guilty of violating the terms of service in using MySpace, anyone who violated the terms could be convicted of a crime.

Drew 50, was to be sentenced in May but Wu had delayed the sentencing until today, saying he wanted to consider the defense motion to dismiss the entire case.

A federal jury convicted Drew in November of the three misdemeanor charges but deadlocked on a felony conspiracy charge that would have carried a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

A Yemen jet carrying over 150 passengers, crashed yesterday but left one survivor — a child in which no confirmed age has been established. Reports are stating the child is anywhere between 5 and 14 years old. Very little has been released on how the child survived or what condition he or she is in.

A spokesman for Yemenia, Mohammed Al-Sumairi, said that a child appeared to be the sole survivor of the crash yet found and that the search for additional survivors was ongoing. The Yemeni authorities said the bodies of at least five victims had been recovered, along with debris.

A 9 year old boy survived and rescued after spending a night by himself in the deep woods of Utah. Apparently, he got separated from his family and left searchers clues by systematically leaving personal affects along his path, a skill he learned from watching the show Man vs. Wild.

Nine-year-old Grayson Wynne of Heber City was found Sunday after getting separated from his family while hiking in Ashley National Forest near the Spirit Lake trailhead on Saturday, the Daggett County sheriff’s office said.

Searchers found a granola bar wrapper believed to be Grayson’s on Saturday night. On Sunday they found a small footprint by a creek bed and the boy’s backpack, which helped them realize he was following the creek.

Utter heartbreak. A 7 year old was accidentlly buried alive when his father was bulldozing and was unaware the boy was playing on the dirt mound where he was preparing to build a home. The boy died.

The father could not see the boys over the bulldozer’s blade, which was about 4 feet high, and moved a load of dirt that initially covered all three boys.

The two older boys were able to dig themselves out and alert the father that the 7-year-old was still buried, the relative said.

A Dallas man is being accused of chaining up two small children, ages 2 and 3, by handcuffing their legs togehter and then chaining their handcuffs to a metal pole inside a closet. He allegedly then began trying to choke the mother to death, however, the mom managed to break free and was apparently able to rescue her children.

The man will be charged with child endangerment although that doesn’t seem quite. Surely, there must be a greater charge to be filed along with it if the allegations are true, like child abuse and attempted murder.

Officer responded to the home about 4:45 p.m., but Tyler refused to come out until the police tactical unit responded to the scene and helped arrest him.

As Tyler was being booked into the county jail, police explained that he would be charged with child endangerment.

“I wasn’t going to hurt them,” Tyler said. “I always play with them like that with handcuffs.”

In one of the saddest stories I’ve read in weeks, a little 7 year old boy was beaten so badly by his father on Father’s Day that he was put on life support. Eventually, the boy was declared brain dead and taken off life support.

The boy’s father’s girlfriend is also being charged because reportedly she did nothing to stop the abuse.

RIP little man. The world never got to know you but you will be missed.

The boy was physically and mentally abused by his father for about two months, police said. On Father’s Day, he suffered severe injuries when his father slammed his head into a bedroom wall with such force that it left a dent in the wall, they said.

Schuler was arraigned Tuesday on seven counts of assault and battery and three assault counts. He pleaded not guilty and was held on $250,000 cash bail. His lawyer, Christopher Tully, said his client was remorseful.

Marie Lauradin, a Haitian immigrant living in NY, reportedly set her 6 year old on fire during a voodoo ritual in order to let out the evil spirits. Neighbors report that the child wasn’t treated well and constantly had to undergo severe punishments by the mother and grandmother.

Lauradin allegedly burned her daughter while performing a ritual that Brown called “Loa.” She sprayed a circle of rum on the floor around her daughter - poured some on her head - and ignited it, police said.

Confronted by cops, Lauradin claimed she was boiling rice in a pot and accidentally spilled it on the girl when she was “startled.”

Lauradin also said it was her mom’s idea to give Frantzcia a bath and put her to bed instead of taking her to the hospital.

Colby Curtin, a 10-year-old California girl dying of cancer, was granted her final wish of seeing the movie UP! thanks to the big-hearted folks at Pixar.

The Caylee Anthony autopsy report has finally been released to the public in spite of the Anthony Grandparents, George and Cindy, trying to block it’s release. Although more “dissection” of the report will likely come out, preliminary overviews by the media show that the body was almost completely skeletonized. No drugs were found in little Caylee’s system according to the report and a cause of death was not determined. Duct tape was reported to be placed over the child’s mouth however:

There were also several overlapping pieces of duct tape on the toddler’s skull, according to the report, penned by Orange County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jan Garavaglia and others.

“Although there is no trauma evident on the skeleton, there is duct tape over the lower facial region still attached to head hair,” the autopsy says. “This duct tape was clearly placed prior to decomposition keeping the mandible in place.”

An outgoing high school student is under fire after it was discovered he sneaked an “F bomb” on the Shaker Heights yearbook cover. The school, in Shaker Heights, Ohio, discovered the prank after the yearbooks were distributed. It’s a hidden message in the cover design — you can only make out the “F word” when the book is turned upside down.

This isn’t the first yearbook kerfuffle of the year — a story last month reported on a girl who found herself in an embarrassing situation in her own school’s yearbook.

What a tragedy. An 8 year old boy got his head stuck in a an old, manual church elevator and died of asphyxiation. The churches pastor found his dead body. Very sad.

A town is filled with grief Monday after a freak accident this weekend kills a western Kentucky boy. Eight-year-old Zachary Waddell suffocated to death when he got caught on a church elevator. Zachary was at his grandma’s wedding at the First Christian Church in Sturgis Saturday.

Pit bulls suck.

KILGORE, Texas (AP) — A 10-year-old boy died Monday after authorities say he was mauled by two pit bulls in the small community of Leverett’s Chapel.

The Rusk County Sheriff’s Office said witnesses reported seeing the dogs drag the boy, who had been playing at a friend’s house, down the side of the road. Tyler television station KLTV reported that a motorist who saw the attack pulled the animals off the boy.

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.
