Child Abuse

Amanda, the toddler who was beaten so severely, she had to have part of her intestines removed is only 2 years old.

To say the mother was a bad judge of character is a gross understatement…also, the Department of Family Services allegedly visited the trailer where this child lived a week before and found her with a broken leg and allegedly did NOTHING to protect her.

Amanda is still in critical condition in the ICU at Cardinal Glennon Hospital. Doctors had to remove 18 inches of her intestines. Police say the child was repeatedly beaten by her mother’s boyfriend, Kraig Monroe, 24, of Belleville. He punched the toddler in the stomach when she would not stop crying while her mother was at work. She is now in a medically-induced coma.

A mother and her roommate and cousin have been arrested in allegations of disgusting abuse and torture against an innocent toddler who had his ankles bound by duct tape, his hands duct taped to his chest and his mouth duct taped closed.

I’m speechless.

Jessica Nicole McClure, 23, was arrested Sunday after police found her apartment to be unfit for habitation and were told that she left her 2-year-old boy to sleep in his car seat in the living room. She has been charged with child neglect creating a risk of injury.

James Ryan Usher, 18, and Della Kay Jackson, 26, were arrested Monday after police said they found evidence linking them to alleged child neglect. Both were charged with child abuse resulting in injury.

Police said Usher is McClure’s cousin and Jackson is the woman’s roommate.

A woman was found in a Kenosha, WI home, having been chained to a weight bench for as long as 3 years. She was no longer able to stand or walk, nor could she speak. A baby was also strapped to a car seat in a dark room with a diaper that was many days old, also apparently tortured and abused. The toddler is thought to be the chained up woman’s sisters baby.

The mother of the woman and grandmother to the toddler and her son were charged and arrested.

A disabled woman was found covered in excrement and chained to a weight bench in what Wisconsin authorities said Tuesday was one of the most disturbing abuse cases they had ever encountered.

Sally Adams, 56, and her son, Ernest Claiborne, 34, were charged with keeping Adams’ 38-year-old daughter and Adams’ 2 1/2 -year-old grandson in vile conditions in their Kenosha home.

Adams and Claiborne were arrested Saturday after police discovered Adams’ daughter chained to exercise equipment, according to criminal complaints filed Monday in Kenosha County Circuit Court. The toddler was found in a filthy diaper strapped to a car seat in a small, darkened room, the filing said.

A 3 month old baby suffered injuries which put her on life support after alleged horrific abuse and torture at the hands of her own parents. Father said he would drop baby on the floor for his own “entertainment”.

A police report said the infant daughter of Jacob Nichols, 20, and Ashley Gibson, 19, was repeatedly spanked, punched and dropped before being hospitalized with more than 20 fractures and other injuries, the Albuquerque Journal said Monday.

Police allege Gibson informed investigators that Nichols punched their infant daughter at least 10 times prior to the hospital visit.

God only knows why this “father” used scalding hot water to “clean” a 7 week old infant’s butt and crotch or why the mother refused to get her treatment, but hopefully that baby will get out of that situation before something worse happens.

Investigators say Valencia used hot water to clean the baby — resulting in the severe burns to 10 to 12 percent of her body.

Valencia took the baby to the child’s mother’s house, but Nicole Aguilar, 23, refused to look at the injuries Valencia described, so he took the baby to work with him near Bullard and West.

After a man named Daronlo Lamont Billinger allegedly had an argument with her mother, a 22 month old child was abducted by a Bilinger who allegedly beat the baby seriously and has since been charged. It is unknown if the baby was sexually abused as well. Investigations continue.

The mother called 911 and said she last saw Billinger taking her child into the woods.

A short time later, deputies searching for the child spotted Billinger near his house, authorities said. He fled into the home, where deputies arrested him and found the girl in a rear bedroom.

Investigators said the toddler had serious injuries to her face, head, back and legs. She was taken to a local hospital.

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.

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.

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

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.
