Anchorage, AK – Ugh. I don’t even know where to start with this one. We have a couple of fucktards – Jonathan Miller and Stephen Dilley II, a 5-year-old boy left in their care, and a “redneck flamethrower.” Taking that into consideration, you just know this won’t end well. Last Friday, the boy’s mother left him in the care of Miller and Dilley for the weekend. Miller is the woman’s current boyfriend – Dilley is the woman’s ex-boyfriend and father to one of her five children – and though the woman has a restraining order against him, Dilley lives in a trailer on the property and helps her with her brood. According to the arrest affidavit, Miller told officers that he’s been trying to “toughen the boy up” and the best way to do that is to “scare the shit out of them when they don’t see it coming.” Last Friday evening, Dilley grabbed a can of starter fluid and an lighter and asked Miller, “You know what would be funny?” Miller must have been thinking along the same lines because he responded, “You know how much trouble I could get in for this?” Then he called for the child. When the little boy opened the door, Miller let him have it.  [Read more...]

MOUNT VERNON, New York - I have no idea how I missed this horrific story. But I did. Calls started coming into 911 stating that a naked woman was walking down the street screaming. Some witnesses thought that she had a doll with her. As it turns out, the doll was her 5-month-old son. In front of bystanders, she raised the baby over her head and slammed him into the sidewalk in front of St. Ursula’s Roman Catholic Church. Twice. One witnessed said that she  tossed the baby into the street like he was a football. When police arrived, a Good Samaritan had already wrestled the infant away and handed him to Mount Vernon Police Commissioner, David Chong. He was rushed to Mount Vernon Hospital, and later transferred to the Westchester Medical Center trauma unit where he is still in critical condition. Brown was charged with first-degree assault and endangering the welfare of a child. She is currently in Valhalla’s county jail and on a suicide watch. [Read more...]

CENTRAL ISLIP, New York – We didn’t report on this story when it happened in May, although it was being covered in our forums. But her hearing was Tuesday so it is making the news again. To refresh your memory, social worker Margery Tannenbaum, 40, got in legal trouble after she got revenge on a 9-year-old girl who got into an argument with her 4th-grade daughter. She posted a sexually suggestive ad on CraigslistCraigslist, including the girl’s real name and phone number, urging older men to call the little girl. Which of course, they did. According to court documents, the mother of the 9-year-old girl received a call from a man who, upon her answering, asked, “Hey baby, is this [girl's first name]?” When the woman told the man she was her mother, the caller responded: “Oh, hot lady lives with foxy momma!”   Said the girl’s mother: “I told him the hot lady you are referring to is 9-years-old.” The caller then hung up, she said. Tannenbaum is now facing charges of aggravated harassment and endangering the welfare of a child over the stupid stunt, plus the the Suffolk County district attorney is asking the state to review Tannenbaum’s social work license.

TITUSVILLE, Florida. - Here’s a really fucked up one to start your FridayFriday reviews. Christina Mcintyre was arrested Thursday for the attempted murder of her 11-month-old son. What is heinous about this story is how she went about doing it. On Oct 6th, her 2-year-old son had stacked blankets and a bean bag chair on his little brother and then climbed on top and started jumping up and down. Police are not clear on whether Christina encouraged the older boy to do this, but regardless – she did not stop him. In fact, she waited until the little boy stopped breathing for a full minute before calling 911. She informed them that she would let them decide if the infant lived or died while lying to them about giving the boy CPR. Paramedics eventually arrived and were able to revive the boy. It gets crazier. [Read more...]

They saw a minivan being driven by 37-year-old Jackie Denise Knott, and on the roof of the vehicle was a cardboard box.

Sitting inside the cardboard box was Knott’s 13-year-old daughter. Police quickly pulled over Knott and her explanation for her daughter sitting on the roof of her minivan were quite amazing. “The box was too large to get in the van, so more or less, she needed a paperweight,” said Albertville Police Officer Jamie Smith.

CHICAGOChicago reviews, Illinois – A dog with its eye ripped out, a dog with a leg twisted backward and a dog with its lower extremities nearly ripped off its body. That’s just a taste of what police found during a raid on a Chicago home daycare. Seems as if it wasn’t just children the owner’s were caring for. In a garage attached to the back of the house, dog-fighting equipment was located. In fact, when police arrived on Tuesday, they found “a very aggressive” pit bull in the garage, with blood on the floor and along the sides of a car. “Also in the garage were syringes, medication, bite sticks and harnesses used in dog fights,” the sheriff’s office said in a release. “The chest of the dog found in that garage was shredded from a recent fight and its penis was bitten almost completely off.” Some video after the jump, as well as a link to the full article which should piss you off.

Newark, NJ – Many of the crack-heads, tweakers, and other druggies we have featured here on the Dreamin’ Demon have one thing in common – they hide their stash is some rather interesting places. Shaheed Wright, though, is slightly different. KnowingKnowing reviews that if you stick coke up your crack, eventually, you gotta dig that shit out, right? So, when Shaheed felt the heat was coming down on him, he stuck several baggies into his 4-year-old son’s jacket pocket, telling the child it was candy. However, like many of the crack-heads, tweakers, and other druggies we have featured here, Shaheed is kinda stupid. How one just forgets about several baggies of coke is beyond me, but Shaheed did. Unfortunately, his son remembered they were in there. [Read more...]

Dayton, OH – Before I left the hospital with each and every one of my spawn, I was schooled and lectured on the how-to’s of taking care of the shiny new little human. I was given pamphlets, books, advice, etc. To this day, my spawn are all teens now, I remember being told about bath time. “Mom,” the nurse said. “When bathing the precious darling, always remember to test the water first. You can test the temp by dipping your elbow in the bath water – if it’s too hot for your elbow, it’s too hot for baby.” Easy-peasy. Right? Guess not. Donnishia Peterson’s tard mug is being featured on the Dreamin’ Demon today because she either wasn’t smart enough to test the water or she just didn’t give a shit. Either way, her 10-month-old daughter will forever be scarred after being placed in scalding hot bath water. [Read more...]
