David Coronado Jr. Is on Life Support
January 19, 2009 by Lizard
David Coronado, Jr.
Dallas, TX – This past July 19, David Coronado, Sr. (MySpaceMySpace
) and Ruthy Chabolla (MySpace) celebrated the birth of David Jr. Although full-term, he weighed a mere 4 pounds, 5 ounces. He seemed to do well, however, as he appeared relatively fit at a December 1 doctor visit and weighed over 7 pounds.
Less than a month later, little David had lost several ounces and was on life support at Children’s Medical Center in a condition described in a court document as “neurologically devastated,” while his parents had been arrested for what CPS has termed “long-term, extensive physical abuse to their only infant son.” Last Monday, David Jr.’s court-appointed guardian filed a motion asking that doctors be permitted to remove the infant from life support.
Hindshight’s always 20/20, isn’t it? If you look at the photos posted in the two MySpace profiles referenced above, you’ll find quite a few pics of baby David. He has a really cute face. He has really cute clothes. He has really cute accessories. And in not a single photo is he smiling.
Let me give you a rundown on what the doctors observed when examining the 6-month-old infant:
- BrainBrain reviews
and spinal cord injuries. - Skeletal injuries. Like, 42 of them.
- Injuries to his hands and feet suggesting they had been pulled, twisted, and crushed.
- Bruises and apparent human bite marks.
- One finger appeared to have bitten to the bone; another had lost a nail to some unknown trauma.
According to the boy’s father, the chain of events that led to a trip to the hospital began on December 17th, when he noticed his son acting fussy and crying unusually in the baby swing. Coronado reported that he picked the baby up, patted him, then put him down in his crib, where he went to sleep. Several hours later, Coronado said, the baby awoke crying, so he changed and fed him, but David Jr. vomited and stopped breathing. It was at this point that Coronado and Chabolla took him to Methodist Dallas Medical Center, where staff revived him and rushed him to Children’s Medical Center. It was there that doctors discovered the boy’s many and extensive injuries.
According to Coronado Sr. and Chabolla, they did not–and would never–injure their son–at least, not intentionally, of course. To hear them tell it, though, the child has never been right, as David Jr. was prone to breathing difficulties and “blank stares.” The “bite marks” on his feet? Why, that was caused by him rubbing them together, Mommy said. The bruises up and down his sides? Those damned buttons on his onesies, Mommy asserted. She did admit that there may have been times she had bitten her son “in a playful manner” and that the boy’s father could possibly have struck his son in his sleep while dreaming of fighting. As for the 6′3″ 260-pound Coronado, he indicated it was conceivable he had picked the baby up “too hard” in the night. But again, no way would either of them ever intentionally harm the infant!
David Coronado, Sr. & Ruthy Chabolla
Police apparently are not persuaded by these arguments, as they arrested Coronado and Chabolla on December 23. They remain in Dallas County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bail.
The decision regarding whether baby David will be removed from life support could be made as early as this week.
penelopejo and Special2bme are all over this in the forums.

Thanks Lizard for front paging this. Also, for using this picture instead of the other one.. Broke my heart too much!! This one is bad enough with the bite mark on his hand. UGGHHH!!!
I can’t even comment anymore.

What a terrible way to start off the week….
This story devastates me. The baby is absolutly adorable. I would love nothing more than to believe that these parents did not really inflict trauma on their infant, but Im njust not buying their stories. If the child was 3 or 4 and he had scarapes and bruises, I may believe that.. (boys will be boys)… But when this is an infant, only days old, and has suffered life threatening trauma, and human bites were left on his poor body, I DONT BELIEVE that the parents are innocent.
I hope they are both locked up for a VERY long time…. Im heart broken…..
7:32 am on January 19th, 2009
I am not saying these parents are in no fault of what happened to the this poor baby but a 6 month old child only weighing 7lbs. There is something medically not right with this child. The pictures from birth on there is something that does not look quite normal about this baby.
7:59 am on January 19th, 2009
Hey Shellv
We will have to ask the nurse, but it is my understanding that a child needs love and a stable life to grow. If they are emotionally or physically neglected their body kinda shuts down, and stops growing…
8:25 am on January 19th, 2009
What pisses me off is that you think the doctors that seen this baby would have picked up on these ongoing injurys
quote from cps “”Both parents are responsible for long-term, extensive physical abuse to their only infant son,” a Child Protective Services report alleged.
They all should be held responsible
8:31 am on January 19th, 2009
I agree, their family should have seen this shit too!! Uggghhh!~
8:38 am on January 19th, 2009
This one makes my head spin! I hate these people. How could they do this to a fucking baby? And their own! That poor child probably suffered terribly. Born to be tortured… God, will this shit ever stop? What… they probably couldn’t stop from druggin and were too bothered by the baby to have to care for them, so they just beat the fuck out of him hoping he’d cry himself in pain… to sleep? The thought is sickening. True assholes!
8:41 am on January 19th, 2009
This might be because he was born MASSIVELY underweight. Come on, 4 pounds…. that is less than a bag of sugar! Mom was probably doing drugs when she was pregnant with him and I wouldn’t doubt that he was a preemie as well. Some people don’t deserve to have children… this will be two I will add to my list. Again, assholes!
8:43 am on January 19th, 2009
They probably spent the money for formula on drugs…. and “bling”… judging from the two of their myspace, they probably were so cheap about shit when it came to their baby that they gave him watered down formula!
Besides, most people (and family should have seen this too) would know something was wrong with ‘failure to thrive’ and would have had him into the doctor….
idiots!
8:45 am on January 19th, 2009
Well….all I have to say to that is “you would think”. But that is in a perfect world where people still have common sense… this quality is no longer and probably never will be found in our world ever again. We are among the minority…. there are very very few of us left!
8:58 am on January 19th, 2009
Just talking about this last night.. Seems so many people today, don’t have a heart. They have no passion for anything that they should. It is all about themselves..
BUT THERE IS NO WORDS FOR THIS………CAN’T EVEN CALL THIS HUMAN ACTIONS.

Brain and spinal cord injuries.
Skeletal injuries. Like, 42 of them.
Injuries to his hands and feet suggesting they had been pulled, twisted, and crushed.
Bruises and apparent human bite marks.
One finger appeared to have bitten to the bone; another had lost a nail to some unknown trauma.
Unfuckingspeakable!
9:05 am on January 19th, 2009
What always astounds me is that these animals ALWAYS find each other. It’s like they’re magnetized to find the other piece of crap, horrible sadists and procreate with them.
The picture on his incubator’s MySpace shows him bawling and looking like he foaming at the mouth. Her caption “oh look at the cry baby”. Amazing how one picture can show so much about what a sadistic jizzwhore one person can be.
R.I.P sweet boy.
Que Dios los bendiga en el cielo.
9:21 am on January 19th, 2009
I remember when my son was born and the monthly checkups with his pediatrician that followed. The normal procedure for every visit was for the baby to be stripped down to their diaper for the examination and to get weighed. How could this doctor not notice anything unususal, especially bruising?
As for the dipshits for parents. You two are both selfish, egotistical, sick, cruel, heartless, ignorant, fucking wastes of oxygen and you sure as hell did not deserve to be honored by that precious baby’s love.
I hope he lives and he will definitely be in my prayers! I pray that baby finds a much better home with two parents who will know what a miracle he is and how wonderful it is to have him in their lives!
9:25 am on January 19th, 2009
Thank you for front paging this. I can’t even look at the pics or think about the injuries above without needing to puke.
How? How can anyone do this to their baby? To any baby?
They deserve much more than life in prison, but sad to say they won’t get it.
Grrrrrrrr, it makes me furious every single time!!
10:07 am on January 19th, 2009
Seems that Sr. must “preview” his messages on myspace . . . I pointed out what pussy wannabe gangster he is for abusing a tiny baby and invited him here to the Demon.
Think he’ll show?
10:11 am on January 19th, 2009
Yeah it’s the baby’s fault, how could he do this to such wonderful nurturing, caring parents
AAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
To bad we can’t repay their love by breaking every bone in their body.
10:12 am on January 19th, 2009
Huh… go figure. Their PIT’S don’t look abused or starved!
So much is “off” about this whole thing. This baby weighed 7lbs. @ 5 mos. old – and the doctor didn’t think that ODD? My twin grandbabies were just over 5lbs. each at birth (full term) and by 5 mos. I KNOW they weighed over 10 lbs. each! Also by that age, they were SMILING all the time! We’d probably already taken at least 500 pics by that time too! There are less than 50 pics on their myspaces of baby David – but plenty of themselves and the OTHER kids in their extended family. Guess they got wise to not taking pics when your baby is fucking bruised all to hell and looking like he was born in Ethiopia instead of the USA where food is ABUNDANT.
There was a pic that bothered the hell out of me tho. It’s on David Sr.’s myspace in the David Jr. album. Last pic. That baby’s face looks bruised and his visible arm looks swollen and just not right. My stomach turns at the thought of what this poor kid went through.
I think that having a baby to them was great in theory – but when it came right down to it – he was way too much trouble for them. He was inconvenient to their lifestyle and they just wanted him to “go away.”
I pray this baby somehow recovers (miraculously) and the “parents” spend most if not all their lives locked away.
10:22 am on January 19th, 2009
OMG…I can’t…How…
Ok…I cant have children. I was in an accident as a child. I want nothing more then to be a mother. How can someone do this? I would give anything for the chance to have a child.
How can you look at your self in the mirror…
No, I can’t even imagine. My heart breaks when I read these but there is something about this one story that…I can’t.
Excuse Me. I have to go wash my face. I’m sorry.
10:23 am on January 19th, 2009
You are so right! It looks bruised and swollen right at the elbow and his face definitely is showing bruises as well! Wonder how they explined that!
10:34 am on January 19th, 2009
I noticed that one too.
Also in the pics where he made “his baby momma” birthday dinner you will see a pic of her holding the baby with hideous goombah David Sr. with his arms wrapped around her.
In the pic you can see a bruise on the baby’s arm..looks like a “thumb” bruise.
I think they should just quit all the poppy cock.Fuck giving them bail, trials,attorneys or anything else.Just put these two to death. We know they did it.They do not have any guilt they should just die.

*Giving Tied Angel a hug and hopefully some comfort*
10:48 am on January 19th, 2009
I didn’t see that yet, but while looking, I found another. If you can, go look at the pic titled ” My mom and little sis with my son ” Is it shadow — or are there numerous bruises on his chest (under his chin, right stomach area, face and BOTH arms??? Now, if ANY of those are actually bruises — as a grandmother — how the FUCK can she see that and just go home?? How could she NOT take that baby and run to the nearest E.R.???
This is just soooooooooooooo fucked up!
10:49 am on January 19th, 2009
My heart bleeds for you. Let this be an example of why those of us who post on DD do what we do. There is one amung us who wants to be a mother and cannot…and she has to read posts like this about women who take their ability for granted. It’s nausiating….
Tied Angel…Im sure God has a plan for you…
Aaaammmmeeennnnn
10:51 am on January 19th, 2009
I thank you all. Your kindness and comfort mean a lot to me.
Thank You.
11:03 am on January 19th, 2009
Oh no, no, no! They love that baby. Not as much as their food, material items, dogs, and wanna be “gangsta” reputations, but c’mon. You can plainly see in the pics that the baby was given their utmost love and affection. Well, they tried to display that, anyways! I’m sure we’ll be hearing from the defenders of these two POS real soon!
11:15 am on January 19th, 2009
I’m trying to figure out who the prosecutor is going to be on the case so I can forward the myspaces and show that person the pictures. I got the judge name but I think I may have to wait for the prosecutor.
It’s cause she didn’t take care of herself or her child. He was 4 pounds when he was born. That’s small for a full term baby. He’s a big guy and she looks to be taller than I am and my child was 6 almost 7 pounds(I’m 4′11). On top of that, it seems like he was starved or dehydrated because his lips are so dried out. The baby did look normal before. No one tried to save him. No one stood up for this child, not even his doctor who I’m sure realized that this child was being abused. I think the doctor should also be charged for this crime because surely the doctor must have noticed that this child was not following the light in his check up.
It was hard looking at the myspace pics. I glanced over them when I first posted it in the forums. Then I re-read the article and it stated that he was abused his entire 6 months. So, I looked at all his pics and like magic…the bruises started appearing. It’s like they stood out. I can’t understand how parents can do this to their children. I really don’t
11:27 am on January 19th, 2009
Crushed and twisted, and his finger practically bitten to the damn bone.
Animals. Fucking animals.
11:48 am on January 19th, 2009
I read this a couple days ago…i cant believe the shit they did 2 this poor baby…i say torture them the same way…i hate this everyday people have babies that arent worth r thoughts and people good people cant have babies at all…these pieces of shits deserve exactly what they did to that precious baby boy of theirs..
12:10 pm on January 19th, 2009
12:16 pm on January 19th, 2009
Precious baby – I’m so sorry that you were born to these two shit heads. Why couldn’t you be mine??
12:17 pm on January 19th, 2009
What i meant by my earlier comment
“I am not saying these parents are in no fault of what happened to the this poor baby but a 6 month old child only weighing 7lbs. There is something medically not right with this child. The pictures from birth on there is something that does not look quite normal about this baby. ”
Is that their should be other people held responsible for this besides the parents. That baby had to have been seen by doctors, grandparents , other family members and friends. That child never looked normal in any of the pictures on their myspace pages. The torture that poor baby went through. What kind of doctor could see this child and not have questions?
12:23 pm on January 19th, 2009
It’s possible that he didn’t see a adoctor after his birth. Abusive parents often keep the children from the doctor because they know that they’ll be busted.
12:24 pm on January 19th, 2009
I agree! I was half tempted to friend request all of their top friends on both their myspaces so they could see pics of other abused children on my myspace and could be like, “Hmm. This looks familiar! Now where did I see this shit before?” But I doubt any of it would help beings they failed to help this baby who they seen up close and personally knew. Sad that noone cared!
12:28 pm on January 19th, 2009
It breaks my heart hearing about parents who abuse their children, and it breaks my heart even more to read this story.
I may never be able to have children and the only thing I really want out of life is to have a child. People should be so grateful they can have children, but instead they nearly kill their child after months of abuse.
I wish there was a way of keeping monsters like these from procreating.
12:30 pm on January 19th, 2009
{{hugs}} It makes me so mad I want to spit when fuckheads like this can pop out kids and slowly kill them when someone who wants children so badly can’t.
I think the appropriate course of action would be to inflict the same pain on them. Death is too easy.
And don’t even fucking get me started on the family or people who SAW this baby and did NOTHING. They need their asses tortured too.
12:31 pm on January 19th, 2009
if you look in her photos “family photos” on her myspace , the baby clearly has marks on his face and leg and arm. the one on the face looks like a bite
12:39 pm on January 19th, 2009
Scarey thought. I hope the authorities confiscate their computers and cameras, because those pics obviously had to be the “best” ones they could display. I know there’s ways of finding hidden and deleted files on computers, but it just worries me that a family member may see this site and start trying to cover up for their stupid asses by deleting as much as they can.
12:45 pm on January 19th, 2009
Let them delete away, cowards. I’m pretty sure that unless they completely wipe their hard drive, anything deleted can be retrieved.
12:45 pm on January 19th, 2009
There are some medical conditions that can cause a baby to be small yes, but more often than not these conditions are brought on because mom did not do anything during pregnancy to help the fetus grow like taking pre-natal vitamins, proper diet and exercise, refrain from drug and alcohol use, not wearing loose enough clothing.
I know 2 people that have tried to hide their pregnancy almost all the way up until they delivered. They continued to squeeze into their normal clothes, one went to he doctor once when she first found out, the other never went, claims she had no idea until 8 months along pff, so neither of them watched their diet or took vitamins. Both babies were born with mild complications and very small.
Perhaps I should mention one of those poor babies now suffers from blindness and cerebral palsy from shaken baby syndrome. That mom (18 yr old girl that used to work with me) only got 10 years for it.
1:00 pm on January 19th, 2009
It amazes me that someone can ruin a childs life and not pay with their own life. These crime against children need to be treated more seriously. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!
1:15 pm on January 19th, 2009
I know. If my husband treated my daughter abusively in any way, I would be gone and then i would call the police. My husband is great with her….I’m just saying.
1:51 pm on January 19th, 2009
I do believe that when my kids were that age they were at the doctors everyday and twice on Saturday….. Really at least once a month for shots. But like someone said they probably didn’t bother to take him. Those pictures really bother me. Someone saw something!!! I hate people.
2:00 pm on January 19th, 2009
According to the story, he was seen LESS THAN A MONTH before he ended up on life support. Hence why we are all very upset with this so called “doctor.” This child did NOT suffer all of those wounds between the doctor visit and the day he was put on life support!! How could this “doctor” overlook so much? How did these scum buckets explain ANY of this? Not just the breaks and bruises – but that a nearly SIX MONTH OLD would weigh a mere SEVEN POUNDS???
2:11 pm on January 19th, 2009
Geez ,what a bunch of trash!
I was just wondering if this baby even had a crib to even sleep in?
Every pic. shows him on their’s….
Also, I am surprised these ass’s had the nerve to
take numerous pictures of the baby without clothes on!
ALL of his pictures have him covered with bruises and bites!
Grrr…. these assholes can burn!!
2:31 pm on January 19th, 2009
Hey – You are preaching to the quire!! I have decided that Texas is a fucked up place to live if you are a victim of abuse. I have had many dealing with Adult Protective Services in Teaxas regarding my Granny – Those are some worthless pieces of shit! I am not at all surprised that a doctor would turn a blind eye in this case. Then they don’t have to take a day off for court.
I missed the part where the baby had recently gone to the doc – We DO see, time and time again, where the abusive parties refrain from seeking medical care for fear of arrest. I jumped to my own conclusion on this story. Regardless, the parents are fucking assholes, I wish he was my baby or I could have scooped him up and loved him for at least one moment of his precious life. He deserved more than he was given.
BTW – Texas has the DP!! YEAH! Not that they will get it, but I’m wishing… hoping…
*eyes shut and fingers crossed*
2:34 pm on January 19th, 2009
Sorry for the typos – need a mani bad. My nails have gotten too long and I NEVER do my own nails.
2:48 pm on January 19th, 2009
Death penalty is too good for these fucks. Torture them to within an inch of their lives, allow them a little time to heal, start over again.
2:53 pm on January 19th, 2009
Waiting for them to heal is no fun! Can’t we just move on to other body part’s to torture?Pretty Please??
2:53 pm on January 19th, 2009
I was just thinking of the tax payers…. Save a little money and she get rid of them. Although, we could starve them to death. That would save a little tax payer money. No pine box – Just a hole in the ground. Done!
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.
