Karen DelRosario Zepeda beats toddler for getting into her makeup.

[Unamused Cat]

A Pasco mom accused of hitting her 2-year-old son because he got into her makeup is being held in the Franklin County jail on $25,000 bail.

Karen DelRosario Zepeda, 19, was in Superior Court on Monday, where Judge Robert Swisher found there was probable cause to hold her on investigation of third-degree assault and felony harassment.

Prosecutors have until Wednesday to charge her.

Zepeda was arrested on Friday after Pasco police were called to Lourdes Medical Center, where the toddler was taken for treatment by his grandmother, Jacqueline Gonzalez.

Gonzalez told officers that her mother, Ester Hernandez, told her Zepeda had beaten up the 2-year-old.

The boy was found with several bumps on his head and his face was bruised and scraped, court documents said.

Hernandez said she heard the boy scream and cry and when she went to investigate, Zepeda told her she'd hit him because he got into her makeup and broke some items, documents said.

Zepeda reportedly also threatened to kill both her children.

The investigating officer said he saw a large bruise above the toddler's eye, and three small bruises on his left cheek.

"It also appeared that someone had taken their right hand and squeezed (the boy's) face," the documents said. "It is also possible that someone had put their hand over his mouth."

Zepeda ran from officers when they arrived at her house at 821 S. 12th Ave.

After she was arrested, she told officers she pushed her son to the floor two times and that his head may have hit the concrete, documents said.

stupid little bitch!

The article mentions "both" her children but doesn't state the age of the other one so even if the 2-yr old boy is the oldest, she got pregnant at 17, maybe 16...so why am I not surprised that her makeup would be more important to her than her children??

My son got in my makeup case....putting the lipstick all over his face. Of course, I laughed. Kids are kids.

You laugh...and then you cry if it was that $13 tube of lipstick from the department store that was a gift from your sister. You know, the sister who knows YOU buy the $2.99 variety at WalMart. :D

Ha ha ha.

By the way, it was wet n' wild lipstick.

That smiling beast I have as my avatar? He shoved my curio cabinet over TWICE, breaking almost everything in it. I did cry for awhile. Then I gave him a time out and had my grandfather glue them back together. Do they look as nice? No, but I wouldn't BEAT him. How could I? Look at his little face!

At one time I possessed a complete set of disney limited edition collector snow globes from the New England Collectors Society. Until my son, who was 3 at the time, decided to see what would happen if he hurled one at a dresser. I told him he was naughty and then yelled at my hubby to remove him from the same room as I. I cried the whole time I was cleaning up glass and glitter.

My son usually have "I didn't do it!" face with his eyes wide when he did something bad. It's hard for me not to smile or chuckle. Your son's adorable.

Beasty that he is I'd have killed him long ago if I was into beating kids. And thanks, I think he is quite precious even though he looks just like my ex husband!

This is a case of her obviously being too young mentally (not even considering her age) to handle being a parent. Too selfish to understand about baby proofing and whatever little fingers will get, they will destroy and break (or mouth). Sad to say it, but it is this type of young parent who makes many young parents get the "you are too young", when in reality it should be said "you are too selfish, impatient, and stupid".

He is adorable. I know all about the ex look-a-like thing. I swear my son looks more like a twin than a kid to my ex.

I took pictures when he got into my make up. I have to find them. It was funny, and MY FAULT since he was only a few years old and I was supposed to be the smarter one. :rolleyes:
But he looked so funny covered in colors.

My dog also got into my make up not to long ago. When I came in he had 'splotches' all over him. Took me a minute to figure it out.
I didn't beat him either, again, I figured I was supposed to have been smarter than him.

Wow. I can't believe this woman beat up her son for wanting to be just like mommy. Why squash his creativity? I was always amused when Jakob did it.

As you can see, my son is rather fond of pink:

Boy, I am glad Karen DelRosario Zepeda wasn't my mom, I wouldn't be here today. I was two years old and got into my mom's lipstick, because it looked like the candy that they sell at the store. It sure didn't taste like it though.....:o

[maryhaze]

hell, my oldest one used to want to wear it to school after he got into it. i'm thinking i'm not getting grandkids from that one. but he does do makeup better than a lot of adult women i know.:D
