Gun Barrel City, TX- There’s not a whole lot of info. on this one, but I believe these two deserve their fifteen minutes of shame after what happened to their baby boy. Investigators were called to the East Texas Medical Center in Gun Barrel City on May 5 and found a deceased 4-month old child in an emergency room. Officers noted that the baby boy was severely underweight. The boy’s bones were visible through his skin and his eyes were sunken into his head. The child had been taken to the hospital after he was found not breathing. After a three month investigation, the parents of the child have been arrested. Shawn Davis Wagner, 22, and Kristina Faye Tello, 21, are now charged with manslaughter after an autopsy report revealed their son, Hayden, died of starvation and his death was ruled a homicide. They are each being held on a $1,000,000 bond. [Read more...]

Dallas, TX – Abner Santiago and his family had long been concerned for the safety and well-being of his sister Abneris and her young children – since she met Alfred Santiago in Florida several years ago and abruptly moved out of state and away from her family. After a recent telephone call to her mother in which she relayed that Alfred was abusive to her and her children, Abner set out from Ohio to find his sister. On July 2, Abner caught up with his sister at a BBQ restaurant where she was employed – the two placed a call to the local sheriff’s department to request a police escort in order to safely remove Abneris’ four children from their room at the Budget Suites motel. When their escort arrived, they found Alfred sitting inside the suite with the couple’s healthy 1-year-old baby girl. Abneris’ other three children, ages 6, 10, and 11, were found emaciated and shut inside the bathroom – where they spent the majority of their time. And damn…those kids really had a tale to tell.

Wise’s mother began to wail and moan in pain.  He bought himself a pair of earplugs.  Her cries of pain and anguish went on for hours, for days, neighbors were disturbed. [Read more...]

Captioned on her MyspaceMySpace…’Drop and give me 20”

Johnstown, PA–‘Drop and give me 20′ was a phrase often used in 19-year-old Dawn Schrock’s household. She commanded her mentally disabled younger brother to do push-ups when he talked back or played his music too loud. PushPush reviews-ups were probably the kindest punishment she doled out to him. Withholding food may be the worst. At 6′5″, her 18-year-old brother weighed all of 118 pounds. Her brother wasn’t the only victim of abuse and neglect…her 6-month-old baby boy also suffered.

Lashonda Riggsbee and Roberto Demming

Homestead, FL – Meet Roberto Demming.   Demming, 34, had at least two girlfriends and at least two children.  But he wasn’t very nice to any of them, it seems.   On October 1st, Demming and girlfriend number 1, Lashonda Riggsbee, 34, were arrested and charged with aggravated child abuse when their 10-year-old daughter was found sleeping on the floor of their locked garage.

The arrest affadavit states that officers found the girl “sitting on the ground in the fetal position in front of a vehicle . . . There was a training toilet located next to the victim that was full of urine.”   Her body was covered with scars. The garage had no air conditioning or windows.   The girl said in a later interview that “she was frequently locked away without food, drink, pillows, toys, light or any company in the garage as punishment, and that she was very scared at night alone in the garage and would ask to come inside, but was not allowed to do so.”

Are you angry yet?   Me, too.  But wait, there’s so much more to this story!! [Read more...]

Carnation, WA–What do you think of when you look at the 2 oz. paper cup pictured above? I think condiments. Those little paper cups are pretty useless for anything other than a place to put your ketchup. For one 14-year-old girl, we’ll call her N.P., that cup signified her daily intake of water. One 2 oz. paper cup of water, per day. [Read more...]

Tucson, AZ – It’s a relatively common phenomenon–someone signs an agreement for a rental storage unit, gets assigned a space, stows his stuff…and then doesn’t keep up with the payments. It happened in Tucson at a rental facility called the U-Store-It, and in February 2007, the unit in question got cleaned out.

Among other items, employees found a plastic tub. A plastic tub that smelled horrible. The tub and the unit’s other contents went into the trash dumpster. Apparently at least one employee worried over that tub overnight, because the next day, police were called to investigate. They found the cause of the unpleasant odor: the remains of a little girl.  [Read more...]
