A man sentenced to 6 years in prison for using industrial strength cleaner on a toddler’s face, just wound up with an additional 6 years for missing his court date. Would he like to try for 18?

Pulaski County Circuit Judge Barry Sims said Daniel Gary Price, 40, of North Little Rock had no legitimate excuse for missing a July 20 court date. The judge found Price guilty Friday of a felony failure-to-appear charge.

The judge added six years to Price’s six-year sentence from January when a jury convicted him of second-degree battery and misdemeanor child endangerment for burning his girlfriend’s son’s face with rust remover, nail-polish remover and an industrial cleaner. Price also was fined $10,000 for those crimes.

The child, Braxton Robinson, was 21 months old at the time and suffered second-degree burns.

Jesus, there are small towns smaller than the Duggar family. Wonder what Al Gore would have to say about their carbon footprint.

Jesus, where did the Royal Children’s Academy find this guy? And how did he pass a background check? And why did he have unsupervised access of the kids while they were sleeping? And…? And…? There’s just so much wrong with this screwed up situation. We guarantee a lawsuit by the parents is forthcoming…

Cesar Monarrez, 18, had worked at the Royal Children’s Academy part-time for about three or four months, officials said. According to an arrest warrant for Monarrez, the alleged victim described how he inappropriately touched her.

She told authorities that her privates were burning because “Bubba” touched her with a knife inside his pocket. Police identified Bubba as Monarrez, and investigators said closed-circuit video shows him pushing his hands beneath the girl’s waistband while she was asleep.

Monarrez has been charged with rape.
