Thinking back on our own misguided youth, we may have had some incidences involving hairspray and a lighter. Fortunately we managed to escape without injury, unlike a boy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin:

A 14-year-old boy was transported to Aurora Medical Center Saturday with burns on more than a quarter of his body after a blowtorch game with another teenage boy, according to Capt. Mark Rusboldt of the Manitowoc Fire Department.

The injured boy, who was not identified, was later sent to Columbia St. Mary’s Hospital in Milwaukee, Rusboldt said.

File this one under “career suicide”. Daniel Markofsky, an elementary school principal in McHenry County, Illinois, was allegedly caught at a motel outside of Milwaukee with two sisters, ages 15 and 16. And he was accused of doing a bad, bad thing:

Markofsky and the teens smoked marijuana, drank alcohol and watched pornography, according to a police report. Markofsky has been charged with performing oral sex on the 16-year-old and exposing them to pornographic material, Glendale police said.

Markofsky met the 16-year-old through a telephone chat line, said police in Glendale, which borders Milwaukee to the north. The sisters are from the Milwaukee area, said Glendale Police Officer Joel Dhein.

A new mother the second time around and apparently “depressed”, she decided to send her 2 week old babies to heaven by murdering them. Let’s see…where have we heard that story before? Perhaps from Andrea Yates who also drowned her kids to get rid of her “problems”.

Now how crazy can they be, given that she, like Andrea Yates, were “smart” enough not to kill themselves instead.

Hopefully, she can be depressed for the rest of her life in jail. If she thinks she’s depressed now, just wait until she’s secluded in a 4 x 7 cell. Good times. Good times.

Evans admitted to having trouble breast-feeding the boys Friday and then filling her tub halfway, according to the criminal complaint. She told investigators she put the fraternal twins in on their backs and took them out when they stopped moving.

“She did not attempt to remove them until they became lifeless,” the complaint said.

She told police she took David and Josiah Smith, who were born Jan. 4, out of the tub, put them on their sides on the bathroom floor and then put them in separate blankets. Josiah appeared to be coughing, but she doesn’t remember David coughing, the complaint said.

Her mother, Joyce Smith, then arrived home, went to the bathroom and asked, “What did you do? What did you do?” to which Evans didn’t respond, the complaint said. The grandmother then called 911.

David died at the scene, according to police.

First of all, I had no idea that there large, commercial daycares that are open overnight even existed.

Who knew?

MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee police are investigating a case of possible child neglect after a toddler was left in her day care van for two hours and later found sleeping there.

Denise Lindsey, 26, said she called authorities after her 21-month-old daughter, Zakia Goff, did not return home as expected at 10:30 p.m. on Thursday.

The girl was found two hours later, when police forced their way through a locked gate at the day care center. The sleeping girl woke up and cried. Lindsey said they took her to a hospital as a precaution.
