Celeste Minardi Gives Awful Gifts
March 23, 2008 by Morbid
Largo, Florida - During a court appointed, supervised visit with her 15-year-old son, Celeste Grace Minardi, 55, pulled two knives from her purse and stabbed him multiple times.
Minardi was married to Gulfport City Attorney Timothy Driscoll until three years ago when they divorced. The teen lives with him. Since that time, Minardi has been allowed supervised visits with her 15-year-old son. For these three years, there has been no incidents. But the other day, while a nurse who was supervising typed on a PC just 6 feet away, Minardi went batshit crazy. It was normal for Minardi to give her son gifts during these visits, and while they both sat on a couch she retrieved some items from her purse. First some cologne, then a deck of cards and then a couple of knives…a 15-inch ornamental dagger and a 12-inch drywall knife to be exact…and starting hacking at her son.
She stabbed him in the abdomen, lacerated his throat twice and cut him above his eye. Even with those injuries, the boy ran to the lobby for help. Doctors were able to subdue the woman until police arrived.
He told me, ‘My mom stabbed me,‘” Largo police Sgt. Mark Young said. “Then he looks up at me and said, ‘I don’t ever want to see her again,’ and then he passed out.”
Minarti is suffering from stage four pancreatic cancer and only has 4 months to live. An older sibling of the boy has stated that he has no clue why she would have done this and that she does not have a history of mental illness. I wonder why a mother would have court-ordered, supervised visitation, though. I am sure someone out there can get details on the divorce. If so, post it.
The boy was rushed to Bayfront Medical Center with life-threatening injuries and is in critical condition after undergoing emergency surgery. Minardi was arrested, facing the charge of attempted 1st-degree murder and possibly carrying a concealed weapon charges. She has been booked into the Pinellas County jail.

That is a SCARY looking thing! The poor kid! Can you imagine not only having to admit that this is your mother, but that she tried to kill you during supervised visitation? WTF?
The courts had BETTER not take pity on her because of her cancer.

Too bad they can’t speed up the cancer…
12:00 pm on March 23rd, 2008
I wonder if she wanted to be sure one of her kids would be the afterlife with her, to keep her company. Kind of like a murder-suicide, except that cancer is doing the “suicide” part for her. I wonder what happened before that she’s only been allowed supervised visits for the last three years?

She’s pissed instead of a desperately needed face lift she’s spending her money on cancer treatment!
I really hope her son is okay, I’m sorry he had to have a selfish, psycho mom. To bad you can’t pick your parents, I bet he wouldn’t have picked her!

Lmao… She is one crazy looking bitch. You have to wonder why she her visits with her son were court appointed and supervised.

There is something up with this woman if she was only allowed supervised visitation for the past three years with her kids. Sure would like to know the rest of the story here. I hope her poor son recovers and her own death is slow and painful.

Just because she has stage 4 pancreatic cancer and is circling the drain doesn’t mean she gets to take her son with her. She looks like Cruella Deville. I hope that the son pulls through. Now I guess we kind of know why the woman has supervised visits with her son despite an older sibling’s report that she has “no history of mental illness”. Hmmm. Perhaps an appropriate punishment for her is to deny her any kind of narcotic, so that she suffers intensely for the time she has remaining.

If there is no history of mental illness why are the supervised visits held in a psychiatric clinic?? Perhaps her son is mistaken?
10:39 pm on March 23rd, 2008
She’s fucking dying of cancer, no wonder she looks like shit. Holy fuck! I wonder if the cancer has metastasized to the brain, and that is what caused her to go the fuck off. If this was a supervised visit, who was doing the supervising? And I am curious too, as to why the visits were to be supervised. Interesting.

The aunt of a boy told a judge this morning that Celeste Grace Minardi has threatened other family members before. That was probably why the visits were supervised.

that my space says she is 45 OMG last login 2006
and her only friend is Tom
(I can’t figure out the picture, seems tampered with that is an odd wall The line along her leg is warped and strange metal or umbrella behind her head.)
hush hush ??? Her ex is an attorney – They probably have a signed contract granting only supervised visits in the exchange for pressing no charges

Good thinking, with a scum-sucker, er I mean attorney involved there is probably much to this not in the public record

Supervised access for 3 years? something heavy going on there. I don’t think the cancer metastisised to her brain – something was fucked up already. Maybe she was trying to hurt dad through the kid, or was after his pancreas (Cmon, he’d be a compatible donor!)
Last days on earth in custody, son left scarred and traumatised – way to go, mom.

Hey, don’t insult Cruella like that!
9:08 am on March 24th, 2008
Court ordered supervised visits with a 15 year old at a psychiatric clinic = previous evidence of batshit crazy
10:43 am on March 24th, 2008
I’m surprised she didn’t try to stab him to death with those cheekbones.
12:05 pm on March 24th, 2008
Hey, did anybody notice that she has an eyebooger in the inside corner of her left eye? And she put eyeliner on it. Did she think that would make it prettier?
I think that bitch fell out of an ugly tree, and hit every branch on the way down… *shiver*

I don’t know about everyone else, but GODS I would have nightmares just seeing that face every week. Let alone after getting attacked with a friggin drywall saw. And imagine you are a little sound asleep, and feel someone standing over you, open your eyes to that!?! I would be in therapy too.
11:08 pm on March 24th, 2008
Then she climbed back up and fell out again! ROFLMAO!!!
11:26 pm on March 24th, 2008
LMFAO over that one too, Ash. I think my shrieks of mirth just woke one of the babies…..

Guess this will answer the questions most have asked about why she was supervised.

Poor little man was worried each time he was left alone with his mom.
1:52 am on March 25th, 2008
wow what a sick fucker she is … I feel really bad for that boy and his father for having to make arrangements around her…. another reason never ever to get married… &what a surprise her group sex partner are when they meet her person and find out she lied about her age.
first i’ve heard of a Baker Act….
The file also says she was taken into custody at least twice under the state’s Baker Act
8:06 am on March 25th, 2008
Yeah….she hugs too much. My ass.
And to think he finally felt safe visiting with her.
8:08 am on March 25th, 2008
The Baker Act~
Florida law permits a mental health professional, law enforcement officer, or judge who issues an ex parte order to initiate an involuntary examination to an individual that meets certain criteria.
8:32 am on March 25th, 2008
If that’s the case, it sounds like the bitch should have just been made to move in with Mr. Baker, so she could be evaluated on an hourly basis. LOL.
Maybe now they will come up with a Minardi Act that says if you are bat-shit crazy, you don’t get to see your kids at all, except through a plexiglass window.
1:44 pm on March 25th, 2008
… and if your facial features can be used as weapons, you gotta be in restraints… behind plexiglass. With a shock collar.

It”s Marilyn Manson’s mom.
*bleh*

Would someone please move the picture of this ugly ass thing off the front page? My daughter walked by my comp, saw her picture and screamed. Told you that face would give some nightmares. I get chills scrolling down and seeing it.
11:59 pm on March 26th, 2008
Holy crap, now THAT is funny!!! Thanks Old Man Metal, I needed a good laugh…
12:04 am on March 27th, 2008
Sorry man, to me she bears a striking resemblance to the Disney villain who likes to wear puppy skins as furs. And Cruella ain’t the most warm and tender character out there…kind of like Celeste.
