Toni Martinez Packs A Wallop
March 11, 2008 by impqueen
Austin, TX – Oh, we got one. Jaileen-pretty and meaner than Kumari Fulbright, Toni Rene Martinez, 19, is a sweet looking little angel from Hell. Toni is accused of beating her two year old son so badly on SaturdaySaturday reviews
that he has a 50/50 chance at survival. Doesn’t she know that Austin doesn’t have time for this crap during SXSW?
Martinez had moved into the Austin Suites Hotel with her toddler son after moving out of her parents’ home recently. On Saturday afternoon, she called 911, telling them that her son had fallen out of the bathtub and hit his head. Once he got to a hospital, medical staff notified Austin police that the baby had suffered a subdural hematoma and severe cerebral edema, as well as two broken ribs. The child had to have surgery to remove part of his skull to allow the brain to swell. If he lives, he will have permanent brain damage.
Once taken into custody, Toni confessed. She said that her son wet his pants while “staring at her in a defiant manner”, and she lost her temper. She shook him hard, slapped him, and threw him into the bathtub, where he hit his head. Toni then picked her baby up and shook him again because he had a “glazed look in his eyes” and his teeth were clenched together. At that point, Toni realized what she’d done and panicked, she said.
The boy’s father is on active duty with the military and has been notified. CPS says that if the baby survives, he will hopefully be placed within the family, but not with his mother, who faces up to 99 years on a charge of felony injury to a child. If her son dies, she will face murder charges.
Thanks, Adriana and Jakob’s Mommy!

I wonder how many kids (or now grown adults) there are out there with brain damaged caused by their parents /caretakers? I once visited a children’s home filled with kids in helmets and strapped to wheel chairs who couldn’t talk or walk. How sad to think some of them were probably put there because of something a so called care taker did to them. It really sickens me. If the boy survives what kind of life does he have left? Thanks Mom!

I know. It really sickens me to hear about all of these stories. There has to be a better way to protect children. I feel like anyone can have a baby and they are sent away from the hospital with virtually no one following up on them really. You have to have a permit or license to drive, hunt, fish but anyone can have a child…its horrible.

Child development classes should be MANDATORY in high school. Tell young people over and over again how much time and effort it takes to take good care of a child. Show them pictures of abused children and tell them about the parents that spent the rest of their lives in jail because they beat their kid. Then show them how to treat to a child with kindness and patience. The only hope we have to stop the abuse is to educate against it.
10:56 am on March 11th, 2008
Child development classes would be good, but I think adequate sex education and free birth control would be even better. We can educate against abuse till the cows come home. It should be common knowledge that abuse is wrong.
I doubt this baby was planned considering she was somewhere around 17 when she gave birth. So even if she was well educated on how hard it was to raise a baby, I doubt that would have changed the outcome of this story…unless it made her give the child up for adoption at birth. Had this girl had access to free birth control, she probably would have been out living it up with her friends instead of raising a child on her own in a seedy motel.
But whatever, there is no excuse for what she did. She should suffer the consequences, just like her baby will be. He didn’t ask to be here. Now, if he lives, he will never have a chance at a normal life.

Absolutely K. Sex Ed and Condoms for all!
11:20 am on March 11th, 2008
unfortunately there are still kids out there who even with access, will not use a condom.
I believe that there should be more support services out there for parents, and programs for screening, evaluation, and education, before a new parent (1st child, or 7th…) leaves the hospital with that baby.

I know it’s difficult to potty train…..my little one is 3 yrs old and 3 months…..he will go hide and shit his pants rather than tell me he needs to use the potty….some kids just develop slower than others when it comes to using the potty. I certainly don’t get all pissed off at him and throw him around, I clean him up and keep reiterating the fact that he needs to be a big boy and tell mommie when he has to poop!
Why must these people beat their children for not using the damn toilet! I just don’t get it.
I hope the child is placed with loving people that will have the patience it takes to care for a child with brain damage….because now, he’s going to need a hell of a lot more care….and probably be in diapers till he’s five.
11:33 am on March 11th, 2008
Did you notice that toileting issues have become one o fthe most frequent reasons for the awful beatings?
My daughter took her sweet time learning how to use the potty, but figured it out by 4 during the day, but wet the bed at least until she was 5 and a half, if not older, oh well, thats what the washing machine and dryer are for.
My son has been ready for 3 or 4 months now, but my husband refuses to take him when he says he has to go (maybe i should beat him everytime my son wets himself?)
11:44 am on March 11th, 2008
It seems there’s a lot of this going around, lately. What is it with parents who can’t control themselves when a child has an accident? One throws a child into the shower, one sprays the kid with a pressurized car wash sprayer, and this bitch throws the kid in the tub. Why not try pull ups and diaper wipes, people? They sell ‘em at WalMart for less than $10.00 per package, and the off brands usually sell for less than $5.00.
I hope this bitch pees her pants when the bulldyke squad comes after her in jail. Then they can take turns tossing her ass into the shower walls.

What do you all think of the Russian-style of toilet training? It involves watching the baby and putting it on the pot to do its stuff as soon as it is old enough to sit up. The idea is that using the toilet isn’t a completely strange and foreign idea — the toilet is in the picture from the start.
I can see why kids are reluctant to toilet train, beyond their physical inability up to a certain age. Being cleaned by the parent is a nice, private, one-on-one moment, nurturing — contrast that with having to interrupt your play and walk off to sit on a cold pot.
From the child’s point of view, life was just fine and then Mom and Dad came up with this damned fool notion.
12:03 pm on March 11th, 2008
Maybe those crying baby dolls that they pass out in high schools to give teens the experience of real parenting need to shit real shit, too.
12:04 pm on March 11th, 2008
I agree. I would do anything to keep this from happening to children. So what if it means more government involvement in our lives??? How can we continue to let people like this have children? Please why can’t anyone do anything
12:07 pm on March 11th, 2008
LMAO, makes sense
12:14 pm on March 11th, 2008
I read a lot about that during my last pregnancy, and I think the general consensus is that this form of potty training doesn’t do any better a job of it that the old style. Some of the studies even showed that night time potty training of the kids on the infant-training method took longer than night-time training of the ones who were started after they were crawling/walking. Something about being dependent on the parent to know when to go, and being unable to wake, because they could not identify the urge without mom. But who knows….there are fans on both sides of that fence.
12:26 pm on March 11th, 2008
Very interesting. How can a child be dependent upon a parent to know when they have to go? It’s usually a surprise to parents that they have “gone” from my observation. I can see the unable-to-wake-up situation because that’s the way it has been the child’s entire life — just do it — so having to wake up is a brand new demand in life.
The Russians did this because they are poor and cannot waste money on disposables and spend a great deal on laundry. It still seems to make sense to me that if going on the toilet is a factor from the start it would make the transition more natural. But perhaps it depends on the child, too. And it’s just theory to me. I’m glad to have this report “from the potty-training trenches,” Angel.
12:34 pm on March 11th, 2008
Like I said, a lot of people swear by the Russian method, and just as many are completely against it. I really have no opinion either way. Whatever works on a case by case basis, is my motto. I have kinda gotten used to the ‘wait till they’re walking’ method myself, though. I think I am probably too set in my ways to have even considered a new option, after the first five kids……LOL
12:45 pm on March 11th, 2008
Hell yeah! My little sister carried around one of those annoying dolls for a week. It cried at the most inopportune times. We had dinner one night and it went off at this nice restaurant. The way the key was attached to her wrist, she was not able to eat her meal with us because she had to sit with the key in the dolls back for a certain amount of time. Very realistic situation.
Still didn’t keep her from having a child before she was ready. Maybe if those little buggers had real diapers too, this could have been avoided.
1:28 pm on March 11th, 2008
I doubt it. I had my first at 19 and made my 17 year old sister come to my very loud, and messy, unnmedicated birth. Then, I made sure she had the opportunity to babysit frequently a very fussy baby who refused to take a bottle. HAHAHA. She still had a baby the very next year. Nothing works. That said, my son was 4 1/2 when he potty trained for me, but he would go in the toilet at preschool. How’s that for stubborn? But I still didn’t flip out and beat him down! Hmm, I guess I will never see my name in print on the demon. Yay!
1:39 pm on March 11th, 2008
Fuck this is sad. Yeah, I feel like picking her scrawny ass up and tossing her into a fucking bathtub. Where does all this anger come from with these parents. Yeah, I have little patience with my kids sometimes. I yell. Sometimes I spank, once and it’s done. These parents seem to be relentless, like they got to fight till the death with the babies…..WHY?
You know I never spanked or got mad at my kids with potty training. My doctor would tell me, “Laura, they will do it when they’re ready, believe me they won’t be wearing diapers when they go to school.” So I really never worried about it. I do know that my son was harder than my daughter. We ended up, at the suggestion of my sister-in-law, putting a large mason jar on the counter. Every time my son would make “peepee” in the toilet, he would get a nickel. Of course the money added up and he could purchase treats. After three days, he was potty trained. It was a brilliant idea for him, but every child is different and that’s what parent’s need to realize. Not all kids do the same thing at the same damn time.
3:20 pm on March 11th, 2008
Cool, i like the nickel in the mason jar technique, clever! Why do parents fight to the death with kids over potty training and everything else? Because we have been sold on a bunch of bullshit about how kids are supposed to behave no matter what. And guess what? THEY DONT! Kids are just like us, giving, loving and cooperative sometimes and other times selfish, stubborn and defiant, just like this chick said her son was before she pummeled him. Kids are humans, not robots and no amount of beating will make them behave all the time. As a matter of fact beating them makes it worse. Kids have to be shown again and agian how to do stuff right and you have to make it as easy as possible on them. The best parenting advice i ever got was ” dont panic, it’s all a phase and everything passes”. and it’s true. The trick is to get your kid through tough situtations without making it harder on them. Screaming and hitting your kid during potty training (or anything) is making it harder on the kid to learn. Show them the way with a smile on your face and kid will be better off.

I just saw on the news that the baby has been removed from the ventilator and is showing signs of improvement. Maybe he will get a 2nd chance at a somewhat normal life after all. Here’s hoping, anyway.
6:56 pm on March 11th, 2008
I’m sooo glad he’s improving. Now if they can just keep his bitch mother away from him, he may just have a chance…
10:32 pm on March 11th, 2008
if I was the father, no chance in hell would this bitch EVER get near my kid again. Here’s hoping she has an “accident” at her prison
10:50 pm on March 11th, 2008
does this child work how is she paying for a motel, sounds like a slum lord thing…
I do believe an adult should retain custody of a baby born from a teenager
potty training ? dumb excuse what a laughing stalk she will become.
What i don’t really understand is NINTY NINE – 99 YEARS …. they don’t even give murders that – this really dumb founds me
10:54 pm on March 11th, 2008
what is SXSW ?
12:29 am on March 12th, 2008
South By Southwest Music Festival. Its alot of fun where movies and music is put on everywhere in downtown Austin. Google it for more info.
12:58 am on March 12th, 2008
this is so sad, I can’t even comment, but… just to say I hate this bitch!
appreciate the update adriana, Thanks!
1:10 am on March 12th, 2008
wow 9 days of events… funny that was listed as a tag … can’t imagine how many will find this story as they search that event LOL… year after year… should bring alot of traffic this way …
7:32 am on March 12th, 2008
Good thing he didn’t do Number 2’s… pow! right to the moon.
11:19 pm on March 12th, 2008
Does anyone have an update on this story? I hope he is doing better.
11:30 pm on March 12th, 2008
Step-stair eyes. Usually a male perp thing. Interesting to see.
11:52 pm on March 13th, 2008
Poor guy. Serving overseas somewhere….probably Iraq….and gets the news that his wife just pretty much killed his son. Things are hard enough for our guys over there without crap like this to worry about.
2:27 pm on March 16th, 2008
Yeah, they should let the dad come home to take care of the baby, and send the mom over there to take his place. She likes to injure others and has an anger management problem, she’s the perfect candidate. Let her go over and do something useful for our country with her skills.
1:50 pm on March 22nd, 2008
Hey I’ve been looking at everything thats been out as far as the comments you guys post and the stories from the media. I thank everyone for the support that you have. I’m his dad and he is doing good he has had 2 surgeries and just came home a few days ago the only way to go is up from now on thank you guys
2:09 pm on March 22nd, 2008
Damn. Finally a bit of good news to one of our recent articles. Obviously, you have a lot of more important things going on right now, but if possible, please provide some updates. So many of the stories we post get lost because of the ongoing flood of new stories.
Thanks for the update, Laronp, and good luck.
2:11 pm on March 22nd, 2008
LARONP,
I’m glad your son is doing better, and I hope your lives continue to improve. May the angels continue to protect this little child that you have been blessed with. And Happy Easter!
3:16 pm on March 22nd, 2008
Thanks for letting us know he is home and getting better. I pray he continues to improve everyday.
6:25 pm on March 22nd, 2008
LARONP,
Thank you for posting! i’ve had your little boy on my mind a lot lately.
i hope he recovers, and our thoughts are with you. i’m glad he has a good dad that loves him.
8:45 pm on March 22nd, 2008
Wow you all got back to my comment quick he’s doing really good though he’s actually sittin on the bed playing nintendo gamecube with his older brother right now. I think he knows he got hurt but acts normal as any other 2 year old. We start rehab next week and it looks really promising right now. I was supposed to leave on the 24th but the Army gave me some more time to ensure his rehab is going well. Again thank you guys and tell everyone you know prayers do get answered because the turn around time my son had from his injury to how good he’s recovering is just crazy. So thanks again Laron
8:52 pm on March 22nd, 2008
Laronp, when you do go back, who will be taking care of him?
9:11 pm on March 22nd, 2008
My parents and my wife, my wife is really good with kids so I know he’ll be in good hands I only have about 3 months left in Afghanistan when I go back so I wont be gone long
9:50 pm on March 22nd, 2008
Laron,
I’m glad that he is doing good. It is amazing how prayers really can help. I wish you, your son and your family the best. Good luck.
9:51 pm on March 22nd, 2008
Laronp, you get back safely! And don’t be a stranger–stick your head in sometimes and tell us how things are going; we’d love to hear.
10:05 am on March 24th, 2008
Morbid, I’m confused. Is Laronp married to Toni? Or is he married to someone else? I only ask because he said his parents and wife will be caring for his son when he returns Afghanistan, but the article stated that Toni was facing up to 99 years on a charge of felony injury to a child. Enquiring minds want to know…..
10:11 am on March 24th, 2008
he’s married to someone else now. Toni doesn’t get another chance to beat her baby senseless. i hope.
10:12 am on March 24th, 2008
I would assume that he is not with Toni. They may have never been married at all or they have split and he has remarried.
11:09 am on March 24th, 2008
We were never married just to clarify
11:27 am on March 24th, 2008
Yay! I love good news. I’m so glad this little on is doing so well, and that you and your wife have custody, LaronP!
Two things:
1. To the poster who was amazed at “99 years” for Toni, I think the article said “UP TO 99 years”. I doubt she’ll serve much time.
2. LaronP: He’s 2 and he plays Nintendo Gamecube?!!? Holy hannah! I can’t believe he has the dexterity to do it, but please make sure he doesn’t spend much time on that! He’s still just a baby!!
Boy, am I ever old-fashioned. LOL. My 6-year-old still doesn’t play Nintendo. I guess I’d better get with the program!
3:53 am on April 1st, 2009
Toni was my friend. Jaron, her little boy was a joy to be around. Laron, if you still log onto to this site, please get in touch with me. I miss Jaron very much, and think about him and Toni all the time. I know that what Toni did was wrong, but I still can’t help but wonder about her. Is she in jail? Does she see Jaron? She should be punished for what she did, but I still worry. Please get back to me, if you can. Give Jaron all my love and praygers.
Think you got something worth saying? Type it out. If you don't wanna look lame, get rid of that default avatar and go get you a gravatar! Tell 'em Morbid sent ya'. Lastly, as far as we are concerned, posting a comment means that you have read our Disclaimer.
