Marcos Gomez-Romero Wanted A Son Real Bad
January 11, 2008 by Morbid

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. – Marcos Gomez-Romero, 28, was charged with murder, accused of fatally beating his 4-month-old daughter. He told investigators that he beat Ariana Rodriguez Romero to death because he did not want a daughter. He had been beating the infant for months and she finally died on Christmas morning. The autopsy showed the baby had five new left rib fractures, eight old left rib fractures, some of the old fractures were in two places, and seven old right rib fractures. She also had a bruised liver, a hematoma and laceration on her spleen, a hemorrhage in her left eye, a bruise on her shoulder blade, a hemorrhage to a back muscle and bruising on each side of her mouth. Want to be really sickened? Keep reading…
Gomez-Romero said that “every time he looked at her he became annoyed and angry because she was a girl. He would call her an ugly girl, a prostitute and deny she was his daughter. He would pick her up by her hands and use this as a method of carrying her.” He also admitted that he would grab his daughter and jerk her body up and down “while maintaining pressure on her rib cage,” and just the week before he grabbed and squeezed her torso so hard that it probably caused her ribs to fracture. He stated that abusing his daughter became a ‘habit’ for him to the point of slapping her on the ribs while she was sleeping.
So, where was the mother, Juana Rodriguez, in all this? You already know the answer. She was right there. She said Gomez-Romero was “violently aggressive” toward their daughter and he would carry their daughter by her hands into the bedroom and close the door, and shortly afterward she would hear their daughter begin to cry. She said that when she told Gomez-Romero she was going to call the police if he did not stop abusing their daughter, he would threaten to leave with their 2-year-old son.
Gomez-Romero has been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse.

There are no comments because there are no words for this level of evil.

Damnation then death are the only 2 things this POS is worthy of receiving. Poor, poor baby girl :c
12:49 pm on January 11th, 2008
They both need to be taken out back and BANG!
The poor little thing knew nothing but pain.
12:49 pm on January 11th, 2008
A lot of these cases could be prevented if the mothers had done their jobs. I have no problems saying that.
12:49 pm on January 11th, 2008
I smell a death penalty case
12:52 pm on January 11th, 2008
It might be more fun to toss him to a herd of liquored up cowboys and holler “this asshat called y’all a buch of cracker shit kickers!”
12:52 pm on January 11th, 2008
Remember the movie “Little Nicki”?
Well I am thinking pineapple up the ass, followed by a nice alcohol enema, (don’t stop there) finish him off with a nice skull fuck…
;(
sorry i am really miffed.
12:54 pm on January 11th, 2008
Me, too. However, I hope that before that happens, they feed him to the wolves in general population.
12:56 pm on January 11th, 2008
Would thaat job involve keeping her legs shut?
12:57 pm on January 11th, 2008
Rowan Ford – as sick and heinous as that was, and the reason I found this site, and pretty much all the stories here, make me sick and angry, they didn’t make me really want to cry. I’ve been reading stories such as these for years. This one – breaks me up on so many levels. That’s the age of my dear grandson, and to think that tiny baby was beaten for months? That man just looks so evil – and the mom – no words for her. She doesn’t deserve the title of “mom”. POS.
1:02 pm on January 11th, 2008
I agree why didn’t she leave with both kids while he was sleeping and head straight to the police, what a fool. How could she live 4 months day in and day out while he abused her precious little child. I’m so pissed, lets have a beat the fuck out of this worthless son of a bitch party. I’ll provide the refreshments and various blunt objects.
1:04 pm on January 11th, 2008
In many instances Ash, it really should!
1:04 pm on January 11th, 2008
this one made me really sick. it became a habit to beat the shit out of a 4 month old?
It really pisses me off that there are many people who cannot have children and fucktards like this can pump them out like slot machines.
1:08 pm on January 11th, 2008
I think that this case qualifies as capital murder with special circumstances if anything does. For both parents. Obviously they’re wasting space here, so it’s time to help them along to Satan’s waiting room. LWOP is fine as long as they get to live with child abuse survivor inmates, but the death penalty really wouldn’t be a problem for me here.
I’m all about competent defense and fair trials, but any attorney who yells “battered wife syndrome” in this case needs a beatdown with my handy “Imp’s Pimp ‘Learn That Bitch Right’ Soap-In-A-Sock” (TM).
1:13 pm on January 11th, 2008
POS mom It was a sad day when you crawled out of the abortion bucket. Hope they take the 2 year old away.
Stupid Bitch
Kill him- Maybe someone will become his daddy in prison. Forgo appeals straight to death row.
2:08 pm on January 11th, 2008
Poor poor baby. He admitted to it – because he wanted a son.
KILL HIM NOW!!!
3:02 pm on January 11th, 2008
Isn’t this a situation where the “mother” could be prosecuted? Please, someone, tell me it is…
3:31 pm on January 11th, 2008
Why didn’t the mother leave the baby on a church doorstep? I am serious. Abandoning the child where she could be found would have been better than what happened. She was afraid he would leave and take the son, so she watched him beat a baby girl day after day. What was in her head?
3:32 pm on January 11th, 2008
That poor baby knew nothing but pain…even while she slept! There are no words for my disgust and anger….
3:39 pm on January 11th, 2008
Really. Me and my favorite baseball bat would love a few moments alone with both of them.
4:01 pm on January 11th, 2008
Ballgirl, I think you hit on what bothers me the most about this horrible story…sleep should be reprieve from abuse, life’s horrors, etc., and he made sure she never got away from it. Don’t get me wrong, everything this low-life did to this baby makes me sick, but goddamn, while she’s sleeping?????
4:21 pm on January 11th, 2008
I have been reading this site for months after I found it from Riley Sawyers /Baby Grace story. This article finally convinced me to comment…
I am just sick to my stomach reading and trying not to imagine what this poor, little innocent baby went through. She didn’t ask to be brought into this world–it’s so sad that you can’t pick your parents.
I am sad to think that this is another baby that SHOULD had been given up for adoption by self-fish parents that didn’t want her. How many loving couple are out there are just waiting to have a baby to love and raise as their own? I bet their hearts just ache when they read stories like this, esp about a baby dying on Christmas Day for no valid reason.
I wish we had tougher laws in the US for Baby/Children Killers/Abusers/Pediphiles—whatever they did to children is WHAT will be done to them.
Did this A$$HOLE feel like a “tough” guy beating up a tiny, helpless baby like this? I’m sure he’ll get his day in prison when the other inmates find out.
4:21 pm on January 11th, 2008
stupid fucking mom…. i have 2 kids the exact same age… if that was happening (correction: happened, because it’d only take ONCE) in MY house, I don’t care if I was the poorest, most uneducated person in the world… I would be outta there the minute he left the house….even if I starved so kids ate, if we had to sleep in my car or under a bridge. Cold & hungry trumps dead, I’m afraid!
Everybody in this sorry world has at least ONE person who would open their door in a time of need to them…and if not? Domestic shelters for abused women!
There is no excuse!
And this fuckwad of a dad seemed to have forgotten that if it weren’t for “GIRLS” he wouldn’t have a place to stick his cocktail weiner!!!! I hope he becomes someone’s “GIRLfriend” real fast in prison.
4:34 pm on January 11th, 2008
The turds should have given the baby up – and if he hated the little girl that much, why didn’t he have the decency to at least kill her with one quick motion. The months of abuse.
As for the mom, I could kick her ass from sea to shining sea. The sorry bitch. There had to be some point she could have gotten the baby out. She could have called 911 – anything.
I need to vomit.
4:38 pm on January 11th, 2008
Welcome, Crunchieapple! We couldn’t agree with you more!
5:29 pm on January 11th, 2008
Welcome, Crunchieapple! We couldn’t agree with you more!
Thank you, PMS!
I can’t help but, read the horrible stories here everyday. I know it is just a small fraction of the population out there that do these things, but just when you thought you’d heard it all, another even more horrible story surfaces…
Thanks Morbid for staying on top of the daily news postings with a dose of sarcastic humor added.
6:15 pm on January 11th, 2008
thepooh5, thats exactly what I was thinking. I don’t think he had the “decency” to kill her in one quick motion because the abuse became a form of stress relief or something, a “habit” as he says.
And what is his deal with not wanting a daughter? Is it a cultural thing, or is he just a sicko? (well, obviously hes a sicko…but you know what I mean)
6:16 pm on January 11th, 2008

There are good humans and there are evil humans. I used to think that one part of life was the battle between good and evil. Now I understand that neither can win. It’s give and take. Good and evil must coexist. Like night and day, inhale and exhale, hot and cold.
This man is absolute evil.
I do not believe in the death penalty. I do not believe that killing people to convince people to stop killing people makes any sense. I hope this evil human has a very very long life in prison. The older he gets the more his conscience will torment him. Maybe not. It doesn’t really matter. The innocent child is dead. Executing her murderer would be allowing him to escape from life in prison and escape his tormenting conscience. On the other hand, who knows what waits for us on the “other side?” When I hear someone say, “Well, at least she’s at peace now,” or “his suffering is over now” I always think, “How do you know?” “Comforted in the arms of the lord?” I think not – the lord in his supposed infinite power would not allow an innocent baby to be beaten to death, would he/she? I do not believe in any god.
I cannot understand how a human being could deliberately torture an infant. I can’t create a scenario, being abused as a child for example, that might help me understand. It is difficult for me to believe that I am a human, if humans are capable of these acts.
If I didn’t have children of my own I would be happy to fall down stone dead of a stroke or heart attack or whatever right this minute. But since fate has smiled upon me I intend to stay healthy and live a long life and hopefully do some cuddling up with grandchildren. Please visit my family website – w.checkermate.com
Don’t let this awful crime lead you to depression. Never doubt that there are good humans on this earth.

I’m not necessarily for or against death penalty. But… paying for an individual to have a roof, bed, food, and who the hell knows what other privileges makes no sense to me. I have no idea what a true solution is but in some cases the ability to breath seems to generous for some!
8:21 pm on January 11th, 2008
I hope this makes it out to Mr. Gomez-Romero:
The male is the sole contributor to the sex of the baby – the male provides either X or Y chromosomes and it looks like you provided the wrong one.
So why don’t you go ahead and kill yourself since your lazy male chromosomes didn’t have the strength to bust through – perhaps they had too many cervezas…dumba$$…
8:53 pm on January 11th, 2008
Wow. This is fucking awful. I personally would like to piss and shit in this assholes face. I think women should be allowed to line up and piss and shit on his face daily.
I’m sorry got to blame the mom here as well, she knew this shit was happening. One trip to the ER with that baby would have confirmed the abuse and that asshole would have been gone, outta their lives. I could not, would not, let someone, anyone, hurt my children…I would die trying to save them.
10:14 pm on January 11th, 2008
If this had been a boy baby, the SOB would have been carrying it around and making over its little male member — such a man to have a son!
I do believe the death penalty works and even if it doesn’t, it would be for the good of humanity to have this bastard dead. Remember how much cleaner the air smelled the day Ted Bundy was exceuted?
10:32 pm on January 11th, 2008
No, see that’s the problem: I don’t recall anything getting better. The air wasn’t cleaner, the sky wasn’t bluer, those women were not brought back to life, and people did not stop hurting/maiming/killing each other. If only it were that easy.
10:42 pm on January 11th, 2008
I remember it clearly. The air was cleaner. The families didn’t have to deal with knowing Bundy was alive. None of us had to worry about him getting parole due to some sort of court-inspired stupidity. He wasn’t going to appear in the news from time to time to pollute our day as Charles Manson still does. Bundy paid exactly the price of what he took from all those innocent women.
I know that polls show that the death penalty doesn’t deter murderers, but those polls are of murderers — obviously it didn’t deter them. Does anyone really think that a person who is not already in jail for murder is going to admit, “Yeah, I was thinking about killing my wife, but I dropped it when I remembered the death penalty?” Or, “I”d think pretty seriously about killing my father, but the electric chair — ugh! No way!” So there is no way to measure how many murders have been prevented by fear of the penalty of death.
Besides, I don’t think killing murderers is killing people. Is baby-daughter beater Marcos Gomez-Romero a person? Or is he just shit in human form?
10:48 pm on January 11th, 2008
Maybe the air wasn’t cleaner or anything like that but I’m sure the families did take some solace in knowing that scum fucker was no longer living. I’d prefer torturing these scums but since that’s not an option, I can’t see letting repeat rapists, murders, pedophiles having the privilege of their lives.
10:54 pm on January 11th, 2008
Agree…Ted is just dead. Lucky fuck. I wish he were still rotting away in a prison somewhere living in his fucked up world he created. Killing someone who kills, won’t change a fucking thing to the folks that they’ve already destroyed.
11:04 pm on January 11th, 2008
I would agree if jail accomodations were more primitive less concerned with said prisoners rights. Someone that sick is just spewing sickness the world is better off without him.
I’m not looking to debate and I’m not necessarily an advocate for the death penalty, I’m fed up with both options, obviously there is no easy fix.
11:13 pm on January 11th, 2008
If I could choose his penalty, it would be exactly what he gave his daughter. All of it, including being picked up and hauled around by the hands and brutally whacked in his sleep. The fucknut would not have a moment’s peace.
11:18 pm on January 11th, 2008
Even if it wasn’t cleaner one less POS using the sytem for appeals, costing us thousands of dollars in shelter, guards, food etc…
My frigging taxes going to keep killers alive with cable- free education – a gym, they sure have it made in my eyes.
11:53 pm on January 11th, 2008
can you tell me where to get one of these?
I agree that this case is really screwed up. That man is a jerkoff who deserves to have his nuts boiled in hot oil.
12:02 am on January 12th, 2008
I vote for peanut oil.
1:23 am on January 12th, 2008
I am one of those ppl that believe in hard time; not three squares, cable, and a free education. when you screw up (especially in this case) you should be living in tents in the desert making rocks into sand. make them repay society for what they did.
10:20 am on January 12th, 2008
I won’t be popular for saying this, but YES it is a cultural thing. I remember my dad wanting a boy so bad. When my sister was born, the 3rd child and 3rd girl, my mother CRIED. Not from happiness, but because she was a girl. He blamed it on her. I was 9 years old and I remember explaining to him about the X & Y chromosomes and how really, it was all his fault…yadda yadda yadda. Don’t get me wrong, he loved us all very very much and never beat us or mistreated us in anyway, but we always knew we weren’t quite good enough because we were not boys.
Eventually he did get a boy, in his second marraige. And he got EXACTLY what he deserved. My brother is a total fuck up. They fight constantly and I always tell him , well, that’s what you wanted.
BUT it is not a cultural thing to beat a helpless baby OR to stand by and watch some ugly fuck do that to your child. Both of these idiots need to be sterilized and put away.
12:14 pm on January 12th, 2008
Kathy, it’s true. Boys are more valued than girls in many, if not most cultures.
5:33 pm on January 12th, 2008
Kathy – thats so sad! I’m sorry your father made you and your sisters feel you weren’t good enough. I guess I learned that there are cultures like that in my sociology classes…I just didn’t think there were really people like that out there!
Girls seem to be better behaved and easier to raise…all the fuck-ups in my family are boys too. I just don’t get it…..
5:34 pm on January 12th, 2008
someone needs to take this ugly POS out and shoot him and then put his stupid cow wife out to pasture. I am sick of women doing nothing while these mean bastards beat on their kids. I am an emergency nurse and see this shit all the time. I wish we could see swift and sure justice when crimes involve hurting innocent kids. I would volunteer to take care of it myself if it was legal. Why do the cops and everyone have to be nice to these creeps and make sure their rights are protected? I think we should drop them of planes and call them “american style suicide bombers”. We could drop them in Iraq on the insurgents.
5:53 pm on January 12th, 2008
The man has a huge ugly head (which doesn’t have shit to do with anything…just saying).
I don’t even want to hear the mother say she was battered and bullied. My first husband was a motherfucker to tangle with, but a goddamn cast iron skillet to the back of the head, will bring a big boy down. If I were this mom I would have waited till he was asleep and got the fuck out of there. If I couldn’t do that, I’d wait till he was drunk and knock him the fuck out with the frying pan and leave. A good sturdy lamp will work wonders too.
6:16 pm on January 12th, 2008
This bitch needs to get locked up for allowing this to go on. I bet she won’t though. I wonder if she was afraid of being deported? If so that makes it even worse.
6:26 pm on January 12th, 2008
From day one my instinct was to protect my children from all harm. They are adults now and I still wan’t to protect them. I don’t get how some people never have this in them. It dumb founds me and pisses me the fuck off!
