Mother charged with first-degree murder for beating son to death

May 31, 2008

A 24-year-old mother has been charged with first-degree murder after beating her 3 ½-year-old son to death for wetting his pants. Bond was set at $5 million Saturday morning.

Sofia Nino, of the 38500 block of Sheridan Road in Beach Park, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder following the death of her son, Azariah Nino, on Wednesday, Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran said.

Police were called to the woman’s trailer about 10 a.m. on Tuesday after her 27-year-old live-in boyfriend called to report the child was unresponsive, Curran said.

Azariah Nino was initially taken to Vista Health Saint Therese Medical Center in Waukegan and was then transported to Children’s Hospital in Milwaukee where he died from his injuries Wednesday afternoon, Curran said.

Sofia Nino is accused of beating her child after he urinated on his clothes Monday night. Witnesses say Sofia Nino struck the back of the boy’s head, took him into a bathroom and continued to beat him, Curran said.

Witnesses say they heard the sounds of beating and the child screaming while in the bathroom with his mother, Curran said.

The boy was then found standing naked in the bathroom, shaking uncontrollably and crying, Curran said.

One question, why didn't the witnesses help this poor child when they heard this idiot beating the child??? I would have removed the child then start giving to the mother what she did to this poor child. :slap:

I hope she and the witnesses hear the sound of that murder and the boy's cries every night before they go to sleep.

This fills me with rage and sadness at the same time. She deserves to die and those that were there and did nothing deserve to rot in prison until they get sent to hell to burn forever. :tsk:

**TheLittleFriend** · May 31st, 2008, 03:36 PM

Washing the wet underwears and pants over and over are pain in ass, but it's part of parenthood.

Stupid bitch.

**Dakota Valkyrie** · May 31st, 2008, 04:48 PM

She has a 6 yr old so it's not her first time around the block with potty training.

Another similar article says:

The boy had bruising on both ears, both cheeks, his back, the front of his neck, his legs and the inside of his thighs.

"This is not an infant. This is not a shaken baby case. This is a normal little boy," Curran said.

Witnesses told police there were signs of previous abuse, but police declined to say what they were Saturday.

Authorities said there were three other children in the trailer in the 38500 block of Sheridan Road at the time of the beating. One of the three others was Sofia Nino's child. That 6-year-old boy was placed with a foster family through the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

DCFS spokesman Kendall Marlowe said Saturday that the agency is investigating allegations against both Nino and the boyfriend. Child welfare officials had not had prior contact with Nino or the boyfriend, he said. The boyfriend's three children are in the care of a relative, Marlowe said.

That poor little guy. :(:(:( Shit happens. So does piss. You can be thoroughly grossed out, I often am, but hell, when someone's only been on the earth for 3 years, they don't understand fully what's going on yet. That image of him naked and crying, shaking uncontrollably, is heartbreaking.

**~Absynthe~** · May 31st, 2008, 06:01 PM

This pisses me off!!! You stupid cum sucking dumb mother fucking bitch!!
He was 3, not 33!! Children makes mistakes in the pants, sometimes playing or watching cartoons is more important to them the hitting the potty! Eventually it all kicks in and they quit going in their pants!

You don't deserve the title of mom..chid killler fits you much better!!! BITCH!!

I fell so sorry for this little fella, he deserved much, much more..but I guess you didn't have it to give him!!!!! GRRRRRRR!!!

**Mom of 4** · May 31st, 2008, 06:32 PM

I would really like to know how many people were in the house when this happened. I hope at least one of them gave this little guy some comfort and love before he died. Wishful thinking I know since nobody stopped it. Maybe a nurse at the hospital gave him some affection and love before he passed. :(

EXACTLY - or what about the cowardly boyfriend?

The damn "witnesses" that heard this should be charged for failure to protect, as well. And the "witnessess that observed the boy naked, crying, and shaking uncontrollably" - why didn't they call 911 right then? The poor little guy may have been saved if he had gotten medical attention immediately. WTH?

Everyone from the boyfriend to anyone who heard or observed any of this, (not including the 6 year old child) should be charged in this child's death. Sorry, sorry bunch.

Nino's brother says: She's 'not a monster'

The day after Sofia Nino was charged with murder in the death of her toddler son, her brother said his sister "is not a monster" and questioned if all the facts have come out in the case.

"I've known my sister my whole life. She would never beat her own child to death," Waukegan native Fabian Nino said Sunday. "They're trying to make my sister look like a monster, but Aziriah was a happy kid. He was not getting beat on at all."

Mom held in son's fatal beating
Beach Park neighbors tell of violent quarrels

Neighbors of a Beach Park mother accused of beating her 3-year-old son to death described life at her trailer as violent and intimidating, with adults fighting inside and children rarely playing outside.

"The last two weeks, we heard a lot of fighting. . . . They had brought the fighting outside," next-door neighbor Jeff Webster, 41, said Saturday of the trailer in the Shore Line Terrace Community in the far north suburb.

On Saturday, a man calling himself a friend of the family said the family is grieving. "We loved the little boy," he said. "It's crazy. A little boy lost his life, and it's not right."

A neighbor said Nino's trailer attracted loud people of questionable character.

"It was a bad scene," said the neighbor, who declined to give his name. "It was not a happy family home. It was disruptive and dysfunctional. It's sad that the innocent got to suffer."

I think I believe the neighbors before the brother. Although he is right - she's not a monster, she's something far worse.

Someone suggested somewhere (sorry, cannot for the life of me remember where I saw it) that the "witnesses" might be the poor little tyke's siblings......

The were probably cowering in a corner somewhere hoping they were not next, and I daresay they will hear the screams every night in dreams for the rest of their lives

**thepooh5** · June 2nd, 2008, 03:49 PM

If the "witnesses" were the other children, then I take back any mean thoughts I had about people who can listen but not act and then talk, talk, talk, talk, when its time for the interviews with the media.

But still what about the boyfriend? He could have gotten off his sorry ass and stopped this. He could have given the mom a break and cleaned up the little boy and his clothes and bedding. Other than calling 911, where was this prick supposed to be while all of this was going on?

I suggested that!!! On the front page. I worked hard on that article dammit!

Ok, not THAT hard.. :p

Sorry! *tugs forelock*

Made perfect sense to me when I read it. And I thought the write-up was great, too. Pity I am such a lazy reader today.......

**feisty76** · June 8th, 2008, 02:33 AM

This story makes me so sick. Kids have accidents, damn it. You clean them up, you don't beat them to death. I hope somebody beats this bitch until she pisses and then continues to beat her for pissing.

Sofia Nino, the Beach Park woman accused of beating her child to death, has been acquitted on all charges.

Lake County jurors found the 25-year-old not guilty on multiple murder counts just before midnight Friday.

Nino was facing the possibility of life in prison if convicted. She’s been in the Lake County Jail since her late-May 2008 arrest, following the death of her 3-year-old son, Aziriah Nino.

http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/n...062109.article

From her trial:

Sofia Nino had a habit of striking her three-year-old son, when the child wet himself, the Beach Park woman's boyfriend testified Wednesday.

Jason Taylor told jurors that he witnessed Nino hitting her son, Aziriah Nino, several times in the days leading up to the child's Memorial Day 2008 death, including one instance when she broke a plastic hanger while spanking the boy.
[...]

Taylor, who lived with Nino intermittently last year, said he became concerned with her hitting Aziriah, and at one point he spoke to her about it.

"Most of the time when he peed his pants, he got spanked," Taylor said.

"I told her she needed to stop hitting," said Taylor adding that Nino felt remorse afterwards. "She felt bad, ya know," Taylor said in court.

On the night of the alleged fatal beating, Nino was entertaining a handful of family members at her home, when the child wet himself again. That's when Taylor and others told police that she took the three-year-old into the bathroom and they heard screams. Later Aziriah came out of the bathroom and took a nap, but never woke up.

Taylor discussed in court how he discovered the body the following day and attempted to revive Aziriah by shaking him and rushing him to the shower to pour water on him. On the way to the shower Aziriah's limp head struck the bathroom door and Taylor said he heard a loud thump. Taylor said he never told anyone about the child's head hitting the door.

After a few moments in the shower, Taylor called 9-1-1 and Aziriah was rushed to Vista Medical Center East in Waukegan, before being transferred to Children's Hospital in Milwaukee, where he died the next day.

I am confused. Does this mean that Azariah will have no justice?

What a travesty!

Must have had the same jurors as OJ. There sure are some morons out there, and it's a shame when you get 12 in the same room.

**ScribbleMuse** · June 21st, 2009, 04:17 PM

WTF. Just... sick. I don't even know what to say about this.

I am so sorry for this child. By acquitting this bitch, this boy is further devalued by strangers who have decided his life is worthless. :(

**Marv** · June 21st, 2009, 04:36 PM

Acquitted? ACQUITTED?!!

You have got to be fucking kidding me?!

Her and the fucking boyfriend should have been hung for this, and all the 'family members' who were at the trailer and did sweet FA to stop that childs beating ought to be charged with allowing his death!!!!

He was 'shaking uncontrollably', but they just let him get himself out of the bathroom and go for a nap from which he would never wake. No comfort, nobody checking to see if he was ok. Nothing. Just left to get on with dying alone.

I hope this bitch rots alive. And to the rest of the fucktards present when this childs murder was taking place, FUCK YOU ALL! I hope bad luck, ill health and pain are your constant companions for the rest of your lives!

**TwinsPlus1** · June 21st, 2009, 06:20 PM

Heartbreaking... just heartbreaking. May she never reproduce again the fucking chonga.

**proudmom** · June 21st, 2009, 06:55 PM

The boy was then found standing naked in the bathroom, shaking uncontrollably and crying, Curran said.

Oh my, this made me cry in an instant. I wish i could have been there to hold him!!! (and do a little beating of myself of course)

**Silvahalo** · June 21st, 2009, 07:53 PM

That's when Taylor and others told police that she took the three-year-old into the bathroom and they heard screams. Later Aziriah came out of the bathroom and took a nap, but never woke up.

There were witness, adults who heard her beating little Azariah, so why the fuck didn't anyone do a damn thing. They just sat there, including her useless boyfriend and did nothing as they heard this poor child cry and probably beg for mama to stop....
To read that she is acquitted and not a damn, soul is going to be accountable for Azariah's death is sickening, an outcry of injustice. This is the kind of thing that pisses me off beyond comprehension. A child has died by the hands of his mother during a fit of anger. NOT an accident, not even that she raised her hand to him once, but beat the life out of him. He was shaking and crying and went off alone to sleep and never wake again. As he fell asleep, lost consciousness, this pathetic excuse for a mother, was the last person he was thinking of....hoping, mama still loved him. Breaks my weary heart. Just kills me.

More than one crime was committed here. All of them are against Azariah, simply for being a child.

So sorry sweet Azariah, you deserved far better in life and after death. My prayers and hope is that you are now happy and at peace.

His siblings were likely there but so was other family. They witnessed the incident. (oops, looks like I'm repeating myself).

In Nino’s case, family later told police that they had witnessed her hitting her son on other occasions. Reporting that type of information earlier is paramount, but many are reluctant to get involved in other people’s business, Marlowe said. On the night of the alleged fatal beating, Nino was entertaining a handful of family members at her home, when the child wet himself again. That’s when Taylor and others told police that she took the three-year-old into the bathroom and they heard screams. Later Aziriah came out of the bathroom and took a nap, but never woke up.

The family is useless. They witnessed on other occasions Aziriah being beat and on the day of that deadly incident. Pathetic. And our justice system sets her free. Yeah, that's the strong arm of the law for you.

So sorry little Aziriah.
