Victoria Meeks Has Hardwood Floors
September 19, 2008 by impqueen
Belle Plaine, IA – Victoria Marie Meeks, 22, has hardwood floors and a three-year-old daughter named Ava.  And guess what? Slamming Ava’s head on said hardwoods? Not a good idea. Now Ava’s in the hospital after having surgery on her head, and Victoria Meeks has been arrested for fracturing her daughter’s skull.  If Ava could talk, I bet she’d say, “Thanks, Mom. I love a brain injury!” Or, y’know… not.
Here’s the thing, denizens. Most simple skull fractures do not require surgery to resolve. So this must have been one hell of a bump. I’m just guessing here because I don’t have the medical records, but since Ava had to have surgery, it’s reasonable to assume that she either had skull fragments that needed removal, or her brain was swelling and doctors needed to remove a piece of her skull temporarily to relieve the pressure.
Neither of those surgeries is a good thing, you understand. This toddler suffered way more than your garden variety “oops, I dropped her” concussion.
On Sunday, police investigators got a call that little Ava had a “suspicious skull fracture” and was being treated at University of Iowa Hospital.  When they went to talk to Victoria Meeks, she said that she accidentally “placed Ava on the floor too hard”.
Oh, okay. What did she do, body-slam the kid?
TimeTime reviews
for Imp Childhood Experience Storytime, so gather round, everyone! When I was six, I did not want to go to church because there was something on TV I wanted to see. (I was a recalcitrant imp even then.) As I was stomping through my room, I slipped on my pretty blue plush area rug. I literally flew up in the air and went down, straight backwards. There was no place for my hands to go, and the back of my head bounced off my hardwood floors. It hurt. I was dazed.
Well, I went to church anyway because my parents, bless them, knew their imp and figured I was faking the headache to watch a Bob Hope Special (they had not seen me fall). About a half hour into the service, I started doing the projectile puking thing, Exorcist-style. Which would have surprised no one, it being me, except that one of my pupils blew up and the other got tiny. So off we went to the ER, where it was determined that your imp had a hard head and a mild concussion.
So. My head BOUNCED off a hardwood floor over a concrete slab, and all I got was a day off school. Ava must have bounced really, really hard.  There is no way you just “place” a child on the floor and fracture her skull to the point of surgical necessity. No, Victoria Meeks must have thrown her kid down and slammed the heck out of her.
If Ava has a lasting brain injury, I hope her mother gets one of her own to match. Then she can stumble through life while Ava lives with someone else – someone who won’t slam her into the floor.
Victoria Meeks was arrested Wednesday and charged with felony child endangerment and assault causing serious injury. She is out of jail and under Department of Corrections supervision pending trial.

No shit huh? I am praying for a full recovery and a long, happy life for Ava where no one hurts her again and she can get far away from this bitch!

Holy shit! Each day just brings another fucking idiot and they always seem to have kids and they always seem to damaged these kids.
How…how do you get to the point of bouncing your child off a wooden floor? How do you then look at the child screaming in pain and know that you caused them that pain! This shit is unbelievable.
Die screaming. You are not worthy of life.

Oh, how sad is this story!!! And the really sad thing is, just when you think you have heard everything, another non-parenting animal comes along and does another horrid thing to a child!! Where do these idiots come from???
Oh, and I love her myspace…Her mood says she worried…which she so rightfully should be!!!

Very, very sad. She had to slam this poor child and I mean really, really hard.
I had a really bad wipe out on my bike one time. My parents sounded much like your’s. Cleaned my wounds with that purple shit, never even looked at my head which hurt so bad my ears were screaming. Then they took my bike away for a whole week. But at least they did something. And my mom had so many rules, I forgot which rule I broke cause my head hurt so bad.
And this itty bitty one can’t even tell her side of the story.

We have hardwood floors, when my daughter was 9 months old, her and a bunch of family member were playing in the front room. I couldn’t grab her fast enough… They ran right into her, her head hit that floor… OMG… All I thought was how loud and hard it was, took her ASAP to the ER… She was crying the whole time… She didn’t even have a concussion. That was scary… So NO I CAN’T UNDERSTAND THIS FUCKING SHIT!
Come here twat, let me do the same to you…Break your skull.
I still think if you hurt a defenseless person, either child, handi-cap, senior, YOU NEED TO BE SHOT IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!
12:50 pm on September 19th, 2008
Seriously, just walk away and leave them if your to that point. I mean it’s better than the alternative. Wishing little Ava a speedy recovery!
12:59 pm on September 19th, 2008
Amen!!!

This is a horrible story in deed and very sad for little AVA, her mom is no good and should be bashed up side her head without surgery and pain killers, let her suffer, she is of age to know better than that, in fact my two year old niece knows better than to harm or hurt or drop or bash ANYTHING, PEOPLE, KIDS, BABIES, ANIMALS, HERSELF,
THE MOM GETS NO SYMPATHY FOR HER FROM ME BUT AVA BABY, HANG IN THEIR AND OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU LITTLE ONE

I have a headache thinking about it. Shit! I can’t imagine how, not just one, but all of these people featured on this site are so cruel and unfeeling toward their children. I have been around some annoying little brats – But have never thought “Yeah, let me kick the shit out of him. That’ll teach him.” Never mind that if you don’t want to deal with the shit having a child comes with, keep it in yoiur damn pants. It just makes me so damn mad. If any of these fuckheads were any bit a tough as they think they are they wouldn’t be beating up children.

It’s strange how most of these idiots go right home to their myspace. Is that their consolation? Is she going to tell her myspace friends what she did? She should be in parenting classes (well, she SHOULD be in jail and never let out). I have seen kids fall hard on both hardwood and ceramic tile floors and yes, they’re upset and crying, but never has surgery been required. Can we bring back the gallows?

How old was the daughter?
When my son was 2 weeks old, I was stepping over a baby gate (into the kitchen-it was in place to protect my two year old son at that time). My shoe lace caught on the gate, and both my son and I tumbled forward, he slipped out of my arms (always keep two hands on your baby…I had his head on my shoulder and my arm and hand under his bottom….with his bath towel and soap in my other hand) and hit his head on the floor (laminate flooring), next to the stove, as I landed next to him, I watched his head bounce off the floor (the most horrible sight in the world).
I immediately called an ambulance and held him as they strapped me to the gurney….we arrived at the local hospital….to the tune of “baby’s heads don’t fracture easily, so we are sure he is okay”. After a CAT scan, the results showed that he did indeed have two skull fractures (from the original contact with the floor and the second from the bounce) and two tiny brain contusions….near the fractures.
As much as I pride myself on my ability to remain calm, focused and realistic in stressful or difficult situations, I was a basket case….probably for the first time in my life….I had a difficult time pulling myself together….
Back in an ambulance to Detroit Childrens Hospital and the top pediatric neurosurgeon in this side of the US. …..Children’s Hospital confirmed the CAT scan findings and my son was hospitalized.
Now we were at Children’s Hospital, and the night nurse was kind enough to give me the heads up on the possibility of unkindness from the other nurses and social services involvement….fractured skull=child abuse….(in their minds)…nurses there had seen so much.
Long story short…my son did not require surgery……he was in the hospital NICU for 6 days…..nurses were rude….however, they did spoil my son…the fat chubby 9.6 oz baby in the room full of premies….after over 48 hours of not leaving his side, but to use the restroom…the nurses seemed kinder….and forced me to spend a night in the Ronald McDonald house….(I had delivered my son by C-section two weeks earlier and was basically hurting myself by not sleeping and staying with him…..
Social services had a long talk with me….the next day…when…. I asked if I could make a quick phone call to notify my 6 year old’s teacher of what had happened over the weekend and that I had been at the hospital…and well…that the 6 year old was probably freaked out and might need some extra attention and maybe a hug or two……well the social worker quickly relaxed….it wasn’t till later I realized she had viewed the phone call positively….it surely wasn’t my intention, I was just worried about my oldest……
That said, I have felt guilty (even though he is fine) ever since that day….”what mother drops her baby” is what I would think….
I seldom tell this story….I still can’t believe that I dropped the baby….(he is 9 now…not the baby (so he tells me frequently))…..I share it here because I wanted to place emphasis on “normal” behavior of a mother….hospital staff…..nurses….social services….
as a comparision to this POS mother…..she literally said…..”I placed her too hard on the floor” WTF…..How the hell is she on myspace….even if they were looking at me harshly and wouldn’t have let me near my son….
I wouldve stood outside the door of the NICU until my legs gave way…..and then I would have layed outside it…..nothing else should matter to her…..
That said…..this mother needs to be charged….immediately…..and that baby girl needs to be placed in a loving home, with loving people….
SORRY FOR THE LENGTH…I FELT MOTIVATED TO SHARE….

Thanks Imp I read this in the local paper today and didn’t get much info..What is wrong with these people besides the obvious..There are so many people in this country who want and can not have kids and wait years to adopt if ever..Then you read DAILY how someone hurt, or killed a child,.. It makes me sick..
7:18 pm on September 19th, 2008
I only live like 12 miles from where she is…….anyone wanna come join me in slamming her head on the hardwood floor?
7:50 pm on September 19th, 2008
Me, me!! *waves hand wildly*
8:01 pm on September 19th, 2008
I live in Iowa I’ll join in too .I really think these abusers should get a taste of their own medicine..
8:45 pm on September 19th, 2008
i tried to send her this message on myspace:
“the only thing you’re worried about is going to jail, you fucking pos child abuser! if it were your daughter you were worried about, you’d be by her side instead of on myspace. actually, if you were worried about ava, you wouldn’t have slammed her into the hardwood floor so hard she required surgery to her little skull in the first place! i hope someone gives you the same injury when you get to jail, you funky, evil bitch.
do your eggs and the world a favor and get a tubal ligation whenever you get released.”
but it said i had to be her friend to send her mail. while i do hope she gets the message, i have no desire to chum around with this assbag of a female birthing mechanism.

At the risk of sounding like we’re all in group therapy – “tx for sharing” komak – was moved by your story. All mothers have guilt – I slapped my now 22 yr old in the face for being hysterical on a water ride at an amusement park when she was about 10 – *hangs head* – turns out she had a double ear infection. I cringe to this day.
So yeah – we carry around a lot of guilt – doesn’t seem the case for this beotch – her private myspace now says she “doesn’t feel like talking.”

Poor precious little angel. And in my area too. I don’t understand how anyone could ever hurt a child, ever? They are so precious and such a gift.
I understand toddlers can be a handful. They are supposed to be. But how can anyone get that angry that they can slam them around like a ragdoll? What could that one little girl have done to make that bitch so mad???
Amen to that
I do I do!! And Rhoni already said she go to. We can carpool…….
9:32 pm on September 19th, 2008
I agree. Their crime should be their punishment!!! That might “fix” some of the abusers in this world.
9:33 pm on September 19th, 2008
Wait a min……..Peeperann lives in Iowa too??? O.o I live close to the woman that delivered a pizza to the Anthony’s, I feel sooooo honored!!
12:42 pm on September 20th, 2008
She also doesn’t want to talk to anyone. Hmm…must be contagious amongst these POS child abusers and murderers. Don’t think anyone wants to talk to her either (at least not verbally), cept for CPS and LE. Or maybe her precious child -who wants to know why the hell she did that???
Is there something in the water that’s causing all of this?
It’s only since I’ve been coming here that I noticed what an epidemic this has become. I am seriously thinking of volunteering with CASA.
Hell, maybe it’s always been this way but due to an old rule of “we don’t discuss things like this” most cases were buried under the rug until something heinous happened to the child.

Komak, that had to be a horrible thing for you to go through. And I hurt for you that people prejudged.
Of course a tiny baby would be hurt if you fell with them in your arms. It was so wrong for those to prejudge you to the point of rudeness.
Many times, injuries are not the fault of the parent -such as with your case.
So many children get taken away from the wrong parents while true abuse cases go by the wayside. The excessive amount of Witch Hunt cases bog down the system. Meanwhile we hear of stories of murdered children or children near death who had umpteen calls in to CPS and even have where the CPS agent stated they visited and all was fine. Pretty much didn’t give a shit and never visited at all. Just pushing their paper work through so they can have a negative/low carry over into the next month. Just totally irks me.
I think that’s the difference between accidents and intentional acts.
An accident would result in the parent being terrified, sick with worry as well as mortified that anyone would even hint at the thought one could harm their precious baby. I can’t imagine what you went through and I am so sorry that happened.
I am glad you’re little baby is fine and now a young man of 9.

Just when I was wondering what was going on with Florida and parents this story comes up in my home state. How unbelievable. Thanks for giving us some perspective with your head-slam story, too, Imp. It must have been quite an impact for the poor girl to be hurt like that. I pray for her full recovery and her remaining childhood spent with loving parents.

You know, here’s one of those people who should have been knocked off the mortal coil some time ago. Victoria, dear, I’m sure you were one of those snotty little teenage bitches who hated your life for no good reason. It’s a shame you never followed through on your suicide plan waaay back then (come on, you know this bitch tried to end it all once or twice, just to get some attention, waaaay back in 8th grade or 10th grade or whatever)
Do us all a favor and just kill yourself, you stupid whore.

Thanks for sharing komak… sounds like a horrible event I feel for ya. babies that age seem so delicate I understand… really I do
login 10/1
my space: mood (worried) Victoria doesn’t want to talk to anyone.
Where is Ava now – any one know how she is ?
1:20 pm on October 5th, 2008
Why would anyone place a child on the floor anyway? Head-first, no less.
8:20 pm on October 7th, 2008
Well I live in the town were she grew up and she has had her childeren taken away befor this happened and that just goes to show you how good our child welfare system is. I feel so sorry for little ava and the rest of her kids growing up knowing that your mother would harm you so badly How could you hate your kids so much to treat them like shit. I hope she goes to jail for a long time and never gets to see any of her kids again.

I know this girl well and she has the nerve to call me the bad mom and to go take care of my children , while she is out verry drunk in the bar in marshalltown , im not so sure but i think when your out on those kinds a charges you are not to be brinking in bars. but anyway she is so great of a person she thinks that what she does is fine and runs her mouth to people who help care for her kids. so i guess this means a lot from her calling me a bad mom right lol I have all 3 of mine and never lost them or beat them
11:58 pm on November 24th, 2008
heeheehee, she called you a bad mom…pssshh, I would’ve said, well, at least my kids have a whole head and not cracks. It would’ve been mean but it would’ve driven the point home.
