A 19 year old father made up some story about his infant daughter rolling off a bed while he was changing her and hitting her head. When she arrived at the hospital, she was pronounced brain dead. Charges ensued.

Evidence indicates that the infant’s head injuries were a result of Martinez’s actions, according to police.

The baby was pronounced dead at 6:40 a.m. Thursday after being taken off life support, police said.

“The evidence indicates that he is responsible for the child’s injuries,” Gilbert police Sgt. Mark Marino said of Thursday’s death. “We’re still in the midst of our investigation.”

A suspicious British woman went online, posing as a young teen, in effort to find out if her husband was trying to lure teen girls into sex and didn’t like what she found…

A British woman who trapped her pedophile husband by posing as a teenage girl on the internet has been praised by a children’s charity, Sky News reported.

David Anthony Roberts, 69, asked a girl he believed to be aged 14 to have sex with him, not realizing he was having an online conversation with his wife Cheryl.

Cheryl Roberts was so shocked she called in the police and The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, who discovered indecent images of children on his computer.

Was it a hoax the whole time?

So, will there be a butt slapping or celebration or both?

“He’s been there the whole time,” said a sheriff’s department official.”He was hiding in a cardboard box in the attaic above the garage.”

The official said his parents were beisde themself during the search and believed the boy was in the balloon.

He said officials searched the house twice, but it wasn’t clear if it included the garage.

A 6 year old Colorado boy, identified as Falcon Heene, was reported to have crawled into a large mylar balloon and floated away, however, when the balloon finally landed, the boy was nowhere to be found.

The area of the balloon he apparently crawled into was reportedly unlocked and authorities now believe the boy may have fallen out mid-air. His survival is unlikely.

Noteworthy as well, the boy appeared on an episode of “Wife Swap”, a reality television show where mothers switch families for a few days to see how moms can influence ingrained family dynamics.

DEVELOPING: A homemade balloon slowly descended in a Colorado field Thursday, but the fate of a 6-year-old boy believed to be inside was not known, authorities said.

The bizarre scene played out live on television and prompted fears that the flying saucer-shaped balloon would crash with the young child inside.

UPDATE: BOY FOUND SAFE

In one of the most horrifying, disturbing and disgusting stories MT has heard in a long time, a biological mother tracked down a boy she gave up for adoption around 10 years ago and when she found him, she proceeded to “groom” him, displaying pedophiliac behavior. Ultimately, the woman succeeds and winds up raping the boy.

Prosecutors say the boy is still a minor, but won’t say whether he knew the woman was his mother — a situation that has horrified mental health experts who are calling the case “an abomination.”

“I don’t think I’ve heard of another case like this in my career,” Dr. Gerald Shiener, chief of Consultation and Liaison Psychiatry at Sinai Grace Hospital in Detroit.

A man has been charged for walking up to a toddler he didn’t know and slapping her in the face 4 times in front of the child’s mother at a Georgia Walmart.

What a bitter old man. I hope he gets hard time. If he’s capable of harming someone elses child right in front of them, imagine what’s he’s capable of doing when he’s not in public? I hope they search his house too.

Police say 61-year-old Roger Stephens slapped the child at least four times at a Walmart, after warning the child’s mother to keep her quiet.

When the child kept crying, Stephens took action; the child’s face was slightly red after the smack down.

In what appears to be a case of sadistic abuse against an infant, the father is charged with the murder of his infant son.

JEFFERSON, Wis. (AP) — A Lake Mills father is accused of throwing his infant son against a wall and causing his death.

Thirty-year-old Michael Wey is charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the death of 4-month-old Nikolai Andrew Wey, who was taken off life support at Children’s Hospital in Madison Aug. 21. A Milwaukee County medical examiner determined the baby died of a skull fracture and other head injuries.

As Dennis Miller says, “Christ, lady! It’s a vagina, not a clown car!” That’s right, large brood matriarch Michelle Duggar, who, along with her husband and 18 children appear on the TLC show 18 Kids and Counting announced today on her blog that she’s expecting their 19th child.

Can you imagine? I thought my baby years might be behind me, but now we’ve learned we are expecting baby #19 in March!

Right now, I’m feeling sick and tired, which means things are happening! I keep that perspective to get me past that three-month mark.

A lot of women feel different, depending if it’s a boy or a girl. For me, it seems with each pregnancy, from about the sixth week to the twelfth week, I feel that nausea and queasy feeling. I keep almonds in my purse, and I don’t know if it’s the protein, iron, or whatever, but it keeps me going. I might snack on pretzels, and small little bits of protein during the day.

The son of the mother and father who were allegedly beaten to death, along with 6 of his cousins ranging in ages from children to adults, tapes were released to reveal some haunting details:

Heize screams, ” My whole family is dead,” in a frantic 9-1-1 call to police. The recording was release Monday. Heinze is weeping and say he found the victims when he came home Saturday morning and that it looks like they were beaten to death.

Heinze said, among the dead are his father, uncle, and cousins. He pleads with 9-1-1 operators to send help for a survivor who was still breathing but whose face was “smashed in.”

Okay, so how unattached and inattentive does one have to be to allow a dog to chew a baby’s toes off.

Why the hell would a dog do that anyway? Pit bulls are mental.

Authorities say they expect to file child abuse charges against a Southwest area mother after a pit bull chewed off the toes of her infant son early Monday.

Robie Lynn Jenkins and her boyfriend Tremayne J. Spillman, face probable felony child abuse charges after a pit bull ate all the toes on Jenkins’ 4-month-old son’s left foot, according to a press release from the Onslow County Sheriff’s Department.

Jaycee Dupree, the woman who was kidnapped 18 years ago from a bus stop in California — when she was just 11 years old, had two children with her captor and rapist. Those children’s names are Angel, 11 and Starlet, 15. As strange as their lives were, living in squalor in a locked shed behind their captor’s house. Apparently, in some way, the girls had normal pre-teen/teen interests.

In many ways, this story is eerily similiar to that of Elisabeth Fritzl, the Austrian girl who was locked in a dungeon and continually raped by her father for 20 years. Elizabeth also bore children by her rapist/father.

Her two daughters, fathered by 58-year-old Garrido, attended birthday parties and, like many girls their age, shared a love for the TV show “Hannah Montana.”

The media “made it seem like these little girls were living like wolves or jungle kids in the backyard dungeon. Perhaps that’s it, but they didn’t give that visual to me,” said Cheyvonne Molino, who runs an auto wrecking yard with her husband

Like a scene straight out of a made-for-Lifetime movie, Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was kidnapped at 11-years-old back in 1991, walked into a police station yesterday and identified herself.

“I had personally given up hope,” her stepfather Carl Probyn told ABC News. “I had just hoped for a recovery [of a body]… I’ve actually won the lotto.”

He added: “She sounds like she’s okay. She had a conversation with my wife and she remembers things. I hope she’s been well treated this entire 18 years.”

Her mother Terry Probyn and 19-year-old half-sister Shayna were flying from their home in southern California to be reunited with the woman who California authorities say is their long-lost relative.

Although the details of Miss Dugard’s re-emergence are not yet clear, it is understood that Phillip Craig Garrido, 58, and Nancy Garrido, 55, are now in custody. Police were also said to be searching a home in Antioch, a suburb of San Francisco.

A toddler got her arm stuck in a private, condo pool drain after being entranced by the drains bubbles. The mother quickly went into action and held the toddler head above water so that she wouldn’t drown.

The girl’s mother was in tears poolside watching the rescue workers, while the father jumped in the pool fully clothed to comfort his daughter.

After rescuers pulled her hand out of the pump, the girl was taken to a park across the street on Crandon Boulevard, where a helicopter landed and airlifted her and her mother to Jackson Memorial Hospital. The girl was whisked away with a piece of the pipe still surrounding her arm.

A mother recounts how a 22 month old’s father beat him daily. Both the mother and father have been arrested for child abuse and homocide. The mother was arrested for being complicit in the abuse.

The boy’s mother, Theresa Harper, told FOX40’s Lonnie Wong in an exclusive interview that Harper had a history of abusing her son, including punching his ribs daily and choking him the day he died.

“[Harper] said he did it because he didn’t have a father,” Theresa Harper said through tears.

Now, the Harper Family is planning funeral and cremation arrangements for a baby that was just two months shy of his second birthday. The family is asking for the community’s help in raising funds for the funeral and cremation.

A mother and father locked their two young children, ages 3 and 5, in a truck for several hours while they went into a bar and drank. Police were called when two patrons noticed the children inside the truck. A police officer coerced the children into unlocking the door and when the parents came out, they were allegedly so drunk, they couldn’t even answer simple questions. The children were apparently sobbing.

Two parents face neglect charges after deputies say they left their children, ages 5 and 3, inside a truck for at least an hour and a half while they were drinking inside a local bar.

But the father tells us they were inside for no more than half an hour, tops.

Luis Andino, 41, and Rosa Lopez, 26, are charged with two counts each of unlawful neglect of a child. They have been released from the Spartanburg County Detention Center after posting $2,000 bond apiece.
