There are so many things wrong with this story…where to start?…a toddler in Queens, New York, had her finger near bitten off by her neighbors pet monkey. The neighbors were cited for having an illegal pet. The monkey is scheduled to be put down. Why? Because it went ape-sh*t.

The owners of the NYC mad monkey get today’s dumb ass award.

NEW YORK - A New York City toddler nearly lost a finger when she was bitten by a neighbor’s pet monkey.

The 22-month-old girl was playing in her backyard in Queens on Thursday when she poked her fingers through a fence and into a cage occupied by a Capuchin monkey named Sampson.

The monkey bit the child’s left pinkie, leaving it dangling and barely attached.

The car was said to be going 90 mph and didn’t even bother to stop…

NEW YORK - A woman and a man holding her baby while walking on the side of a New York highway have been run over by a driver who didn’t bother to stop.

The baby flew out of the man’s hands but wasn’t struck by the car and suffered only minor injuries. The man was killed.

A month old infant wrapped in a blanket was found by woman on the doorstep outside her home in Queens, New York.

A black handbag was left next to the baby; the police did not say what, if anything, was in the bag.

It was about 10 p.m. when the Holly Avenue resident, a 24-year-old woman, found the baby and called the police. Officers and an ambulance responded, and the baby was taken to Flushing Hospital where she was admitted in stable condition.

Some asshats decided to go all Fast and the Furious on a residential street, and now a young boy is dead because of it.

What neighbors said was a drag race along a residential street in Queens turned deadly early yesterday when one of the speeding cars hit a sport utility vehicle, throwing a 5-year-old boy from the backseat and killing him one block from his home, police said.

Police last night were looking for two men who fled on foot after crashing a blue BMW at 164th Place and 109th Avenue in Jamaica. Police said the BMW 540 was bought under the name of Hendry James. Police said James is not a suspect and has reported his identity stolen.

The BMW was speeding east on 109th Avenue when the car struck the SUV carrying the boy, Jordan McLean, his mother, Marcia McEachron, 44, and his aunt, Claris Edwards, 50, of Far Rockaway, shortly after midnight, police said. Jordan was in the back passenger seat, and was not strapped into a car seat or wearing a seat belt, police said.

A man and woman walked into a church in Queens, New York and gave the priest there a dead, decomposed baby and asked him to perform a religious burial for it. It’s being speculated that the couple’s teenage daughter had given birth to the baby then hid the baby before she ran away. All righty, then! That’s quite the saga!

The couple arrived at Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church, at 104-11 37th Avenue in Corona, with the body in a bag after an evening Mass, Mr. Browne said. They told the priest that they had found the body in a closet at their home. After the three of them prayed over the body, the couple left, and the priest called the police, Mr. Browne said.

The priest told the police that he did not know the couple, but believed that they might be parishioners.

The Rev. Thomas Healy, the priest at the church, was not available for comment on Thursday, his secretary said.

So, as it all turns out, the whole concocted story was a scam. The infant who was left in a cab was not left by her father, but rather a calculated move by the entire family to get rid of the infant.

Her mother? 14.

The Queens livery cab driver hailed as a hero for rescuing an abandoned baby was exposed as a liar today, police said.

Klever Sailema, 45, helped concoct an elaborate ruse to ditch the adorable child, who was born to a 14-year-old girl, police sources said.

Well, we have to admit this way of abandoning a baby is certainly “creative”. A man in Queens, New York, flagged down a black “car for hire” (we’re assuming that means a limo or Town Car), got in with his 6-month-old baby, and after riding a few minutes he asked the driver to stop at which point he took off running leaving the infant girl behind.

The driver immediately took the infant to a firehouse in Corona, the police arrived and the baby was taken to St. John’s Queens Hospital, where she was in good condition.

Officials said the child had not been harmed. They had not identified her or her parents and had not determined whether the man who left her was a relative.

The police said the city’s Administration for Children’s Services would eventually take custody of the infant.
