Minerva Lopez & Porfirio Olivas-Lopez Hurt Kids

Great writeup, Ruby! Thanks!

I’m glad you did this story. These people deserve a little of what they dished out – maybe five or eight attempts at strangulation. That poor kid!

Ok I have been mad enough at my children at times that I have said I could strangle them but to actually do it. Maybe thats where I went wrong you know parents threatening to do things and then not following through. If you strangle long enough they will pass out or worse but hey at least you get a break.

Looks can be deceiving???

LMAO

How on earth can anyone, with an active and mature brain cell, think these folks “looked happy”???

That bitch would scare me in a dark alley. Dayum.

Yes, indeed, Silli. Minerva is very scary looking. And now everyone knows looks aren’t deceiving.

I hope the immigration detainer doesn’t mean he’ll just be sent back “home.” Wonder if Madison is a safe haven city, or whatever they’re calling them these days. Best not be.

WOW!
I don’t normally comment on the appearance of people… But… These asshats are even scarier looking than I am! And, that’s going a bit of a distance. I’m not a producer, but, I seem to recall that actually strangling, and beating, your child is not on the approved lists anywhere for proper discipline. Hell, I rarely even yell at my cat because he freaks out so badly. Ohhhh… maybe that’s it; he toes the line because the discipline around here is even-handed, and only used when absolutely necessary, not brutal.

These people look like fuctards and guess what… they are!
Quiet and withdrawn…hmmm, I wonder why? maybe strangulation isn’t her thing. I say strangle and whip them until they beg for mercy and do it again…again.

I wonder if the older child is the only one being singled out and abused….

Poor dear child. So glad the children are out of their grasp….for now.

bwahaha. If I didn’t want to shelter my kids from stuff like this I would let them read the entire story.

Mamma Minerva, meanwhile, is only facing 33 counts, including five counts of reckless child abuse causing bodily harm, six counts of reckless child abuse causing bodily harm, two counts of physical abuse of a child with the intent to cause great bodily harm, nine counts of physical abuse of a child with the intent to cause bodily harm, five counts of strangulation and six counts of failure to act to prevent bodily harm to a child.

They were happy people. They enjoyed doing this crap to kids. God damn them straight to hell.

Well, the details came out today. It was the 14-year-old daughter. She’s had visible injuries most of this year, but kept telling authorities they were self-inflicted or accidental, so they couldn’t/wouldn’t pursue it further. When she was found, she had numerous bruises and cuts, along with a broken right hand and right kneecap, which will require surgical correction.

The actual charges filed in court today are fewer in number than predicted, but the details more heinous than I’d hoped, as in:

“In statements to detectives, Minerva admitted to abusing her daughter by punching, kicking, hitting with a belt, hitting with objects such as a frying pan, cutting her with a knife, strangling her and pouring hot water over her. “I used just whatever I had,” she said. “I would never stop to think about the consequences.”

Here’s today’s full update:

Parents admit to abusing child: ‘I just used whatever I had,’ mom says
Mike Miller — 10/02/2008 4:06 pm

The parents accused of badly beating their 14-year-old daughter with items ranging from broomsticks to belts to a frying pan were each charged today with multiple counts of intentionally causing bodily harm through child abuse.

Cash bail was set at $32,000 for Minerva Lopez, 32, who recently gave birth to the couple’s fifth child, and at $22,000 for her husband, Porfirio Olivas Lopez, 38. Minerva was charged with 16 counts of child abuse while Porfirio was charged with 11. The incidents, which resulted in serious injuries to the child, occurred between April 1 and Sept. 25, when they were discovered by police.

Although schools and social service agencies were involved before police were notified, the girl kept telling authorities her injuries were self-inflicted or accidental, blunting any chance social service agencies had of getting her out of the home, the criminal complaint against the parents says.

Both parents eventually confessed to causing some harm to the child, according to the complaint.

But when town of Madison police were sent to the home on Sept. 25, it became apparent the girl had been the victim of crimes, the complaint says.

Town of Madison detective Rob Hale is quoted in the complaint as saying as soon as he saw the 14-year-old victim, “he immediately identified her as a victim of horrendous crime inasmuch as she was virtually covered from head to toe with bruises with various bloody wounds to the top scalp of her head, an open gash to her right cheek, various generations of bruises ranging in color from purple to green to yellow, and injuries that were consistent with what he later found were breaks in her right hand and a broken right kneecap.”

Hale also described the girl as emaciated.

Noted child abuse expert Dr. Barbara Knox of the University of Wisconsin Children’s Hospital examined the various injuries to the girl, and said she would need surgical treatment for the broken kneecap.

Knox “indicated that (the victim) is potentially going to be suffering from life-long disabilities due to injuries sustained from the abuse, including but not limited to scarring resulting in permanent disfigurement and injuries leading to limb immobility,” the complaint says.

Unlike many situations involving serious crime, there was virtually no argument in Thursday’s initial appearance over bail or the need for high cash bail because of the seriousness of the crimes.

As Minerva and Porfirio were brought into the small courtroom in the Public Safety Building, they conferred, through the assistance of a Spanish-speaking interpreter, Jim Larson, and with assistant state public defender Ellen Berz.

After that private conversation was over, Berz said she recognized cash bail would be set, and before the arguments about the amount got underway, Dane County Court Commissioner Todd Meurer interjected that recitations of the charges could be avoided if he set cash bail at $2,000 per count. Minerva faces 16 counts while Porfirio faces 11. Each of those counts carries a penalty of six years of combined prison and extended supervision time.

The complaint says Knox diagnoses definite physical abuse of a child, severe child torture, physical neglect of a child, medical neglect of a child, educational neglect of a child — all consistent with causing great mental harm, as well.

The complaint also shows the Dane County Department of Human Services has suspicions of abuse to the girl as early as April, when she showed up at school with injuries to her face. A friend of 14-year-old victim told a counselor that the girl said her mother hit her. But when asked, the 14-year-old victim said her brother threw something at her.

“Human Services was not able to act upon the complaint,” the criminal complaint says, but on June 2 the girl again had facial injuries and on June 4 the girl had a wound on her head with dried blood on it. The girl again made up stories about how she was injured, the complaint says, but her friend told a counselor that the girl’s mother had hit her and told her she would strangle her if she reported it. The 14 year old told her friend that “she was afraid one day she wouldn’t make it,” the complaint says.

Again Human Services took no action because it was not able to substantiate that the injury came from home, the complaint says.

After the couple was arrested, the 14-year-old was hospitalized for treatment of her numerous injuries. Meanwhile the other four children — ages 8, 5, 3 and 2 weeks — were taken into protective custody and have now become the subjects of a juvenile court action.

In statements to detectives, Minerva admitted to abusing her daughter by punching, kicking, hitting with a belt, hitting with objects such as a frying pan, cutting her with a knife, strangling her and pouring hot water over her. “I used just whatever I had,” she said. “I would never stop to think about the consequences.”

Porfirio also admitted to beating his daughter, but on fewer occasions. He also admitted to twisting her arm backwards, punching her in the stomach and said he “used a belt a few times on her.”

No real reason was given for the constant abuse, except that the parents portrayed the 14-year-old as being loud. It appeared they were concerned there were warrants out for Porfirio’s arrest, and they feared the consequences of police being sent to their Pheasant Ridge Trail apartment. Porfirio was convicted of drunken driving earlier this year and a warrant was issued for his arrest when he failed to show up to serve his 100-day jail sentence.

Since his arrest on the child abuse charge, he has also been charged with failing to show up at the jail and is now the subject of a federal immigration hold, meaning immigration authorities are likely to seek his deportation to his native Mexico when his legal problems are over.

Minerva is quoted in the complaint as saying she wanted to move back to Mexico after their fifth child was born because she knew law enforcement was looking for Porfirio, and she did not want him arrested.

What is wrong with people?? I wouldn’t treat an animal the way they treated their daughter. Sheesh. I hope that she NEVER goes back to her asshole parents.

NO WAY!

What the fuck?? She never thought of the consequences of beating her own daughter with anything she could pick up??? That poor poor girl. I feel sick that she was so afraid that she wouldn’t reach out for help when it is offered. And Damn CPS for not pushing this and just showing up at the home!

She had visible physical evidence all over her. That doesn’t justify them going to the home to check things out?? And they beat her because she was loud? Didn’t the neighbors say she was the quiet withdrawn one?

Poor girl. Probably just starting her freshman year of high school and God only knows how long this has been going on. I really hope she physically heals quickly and doesn’t have permanent damage. But her mental damage is going to permanent. It will be with her forever. I hope she gets major therapy thats done with love and concern for HER.

And I hope she never has lay eyes on either of those fuckwads ever again in her life. I hope she is able to come out of this strong, knowing it wasn’t her fault and doesn’t repeat the cycle. She can come live me I’d be the best foster mom ever!! Then she’ll see what a real loving family truly is.

As for the “so called sweet parents” I hope they rot for as many years as the judge can give them. And I hope Ole Bertha and Bubba show them how it feels on a daily basis what they put her through.

Ruby one last thing, I know this was a long post. We’re any of the other children abused at all or just the 14 year girl? It makes me wonder…..

“In statements to detectives, Minerva admitted to abusing her daughter by punching, kicking, hitting with a belt, hitting with objects such as a frying pan, cutting her with a knife, strangling her and pouring hot water over her. “I used just whatever I had,” she said. “I would never stop to think about the consequences.”

What the fuck?? She never thought of the consequences of beating her own daughter with anything she could pick up??? That poor poor girl. I feel sick that she was so afraid that she wouldn’t reach out for help when it is offered. And Damn CPS for not pushing this and just showing up at the home!

She had visible physical evidence all over her. That doesn’t justify them going to the home to check things out?? And they beat her because she was loud? Didn’t the neighbors say she was the quiet withdrawn one?

Ruby one last thing, I know this was a long post. We’re any of the other children abused at all or just the 14 year girl? It makes me wonder…..

We just don’t know yet. From everything I’ve been able to find, the other kids appeared whole and unharmed when officers arrived. Of course, that does not preclude abuse. We’re just going to have to wait for more details to be released.

The fact that the charges filed against them were all for injury to the 14-year-old, makes me think there wasn’t abuse of the others. I mean, the parents admitted to this, so I’d suspect it would have all come out at the same time? But that’s just speculation.

I’m glad social servies finally went there though, at least the daughter had no choice and she could finally stop claiming it was self inflicted or an accident. I can’t even imagine being that scared. 75 counts….just wrong!

Wow, PMS, that’s really some shitty reading, huh? Thanks for posting it. So in that whole thing, I saw one admission that Porfirio hit the 8-year-old girl once with a coat hanger, and no other mention of the other kids. So it really does sound like the 14-year-old (known by her initials AOL in the police documents) was the whipping girl for the family.

Fuckheads.

these lowlifes should both be tortured. He’ll be deported and go back to his country and make 10 more babies with some other dumb chick. She’ll do time. And then what? People like this dont think they’ve done anything wrong, they justify the abuse in their heads.
Sickos, who make children suffer. I am amazed at how one story after another is worse and worse. The only difference in this case, correct me if Im wrong, these were his kids! I am so used to hearin about women who allow the boyfriend to abuse their children. But their own father and mother, disgusting. I pray the kids in these cases can move forward but I dont think a lifetime of therapy would get me over the shit these crackpots have done. Useless waste of space. And friggin fugly scary lookin too. Maybe if they were put in a room with people bigger n scarier than them, they would feel their childrens fear and anguish. in the meantime, I’m losin sleep worryin about all the abused children of the world who every second have to live in fear. God protect them please.

Strangulation is life-threatening, unlike hitting your kid on the ass. But if you’re hurting your kid, you’re hurting your kid. Why do people have children but refuse to develop parenting skills? What horrible people these 2 are.

Madison, WI – Minerva Lopez, 32, and Porfirio Olivas-Lopez, 38, lived in an apartment on Pheasant Ridge Trail with their 5 children, including a newborn.    Neighbors describe them as “some sweet people,” and say, “We would sit and talk. She was nice.  They seemed happy.”   Apparently, looks can be deceiving.

I want some of whatever those neighbors are smokin’!

They describe these two as “sweet people”, that Minerva was “nice”. WTF?? Porfirio looks sad and scared to death himself, wonder if Minerva was beating on him too? She has an evil look, thru and thru. Those poor children. If ever there was a reason to “send em back”, this woman needs to be it.

It all started when a diligent worker from Dane County’s Joining Forces for Families program notified the Department of Human Services of suspected abuse.  On Thursday, September 25th, police officers visited the family to investigate those allegations, and found a child with “very serious” injuries: injuries they claimed would be life-threatening if not treated.   Officers transported the child to the hospital, took the other children into protective care, and arrested Porfirio Olivas-Lopez.  The next day, they came back for Minerva.

Thank God for an alert, diligent worker, who notified the authorities. So many times we hear how the ball has been dropped by social workers, etc., who often have such huge caseloads there isn’t enough time in the world to pay attention to details that really matter. Again, I thank God for this worker who did pay attention.

Although schools and social service agencies were involved before police were notified, the girl kept telling authorities her injuries were self-inflicted or accidental, blunting any chance social service agencies had of getting her out of the home, the criminal complaint against the parents says.

Really, something needs to be done in our society, regarding what a suspected victim of abuse says, vs. getting them some real help immediately. Authorities finally seem to understand that out of fear of further abuse from the perp, of course a victim of abuse is likely going to deny that any abuse is going on. Especially a child or even a teenager, who has no other options but to stay in that home. They do realize the minute the authorities leave, after coming to check up on them, that they will likely get it even worse from perp. So of course they are gonna deny it all! sigh

Just as authorities have taken the decision to press charges against the perp, out of the hands of an adult victim of abuse, in order to make those charges stick, they ought to do the same for the younger victims.

Yeah, I know, there are some who lie, make things up, who make it very very difficult for true victims of abuse to be believed, etc. Yet when there are signs that someone is being abused, steps ought to be taken immediately to ensure that person’s immediate safety. Not simply ask, and ‘hope’ whatever the victim says is what’s actually going on in that home.

Just gimme a magic wand and together we’ll save the world. Dammit.

The complaint says Knox diagnoses definite physical abuse of a child, severe child torture, physical neglect of a child, medical neglect of a child, educational neglect of a child — all consistent with causing great mental harm, as well.

All of this is very true, great mental harm, which is psychological abuse. Add to this the psychological abuse of the other children in the family, who had to have witnessed some or all of what went on in that home. Watching this stuff done to their sister, very likely scared half to death that they would be next. This type of thing can typically bring on a lifetime of anxiety/panic disorder in the children who witness this stuff, over and again.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all to learn these so-called ‘parents’ did abuse the other children in some form or fashion, even if they have no bruises or broken bones at this time. Rarely do people this out of control treat one child the way they have the 14 year old and treat the rest with tender loving care.

My heart goes out to the teen and the younger children. I hope the ‘parents’ fry.

Just another fucking case of social services and the shitty school system's dropping the ball and COLOSSAL apathy. Charges of negligence should be brought against BOTH agencies. Wisconsin needs to bring back the death penalty and broaden the list of capital crimes to include crimes against children. These people need to be destroyed. Couple of vampires have turned their daughter into one potentially. Pricks.

really? whats ur name…cuz they are my parents hahaha

U do… May i see it? ..

I am so happy to hear that you are now with people who have your best interest at heart. I wish you all the happiness in the world and I hope you can find peace with this in due time. Try to live well and stay away from the bad things and broken people. There is so much “good” out there to experience, you don’t need the negative drama. Follow your heart and mind, and be an honest, hard working person. Most of all, have self-respect, and respect others. Take care, Lil Mama.
