Kissimmee, FL – The guy you see before you, with the bad-ass stripey-head ‘do, is 19-year-old Jonathan Alicea. Much like many of the men we feature here on the Dreamin’ Demon, Jonathan has a girlfriend with a couple of rugrats. And, much like many of the women we feature here, that girlfriend trusted her man with the lives of her children while she went about earning a living. And, like many of the stories we feature here, it doesn’t end well. Jonathan was playing Mr. Mom on SundaySunday reviews and whipped up some dinner for the kiddos, ages 2 and 6. The 2-year-old may not have been extremely thrilled with Jonathan’s culinary skills and refused to eat. (Dinner was hot dogs and scrambled eggs – doesn’t sound very appetizing to me either). Jonathan was displeased. Already angry at the child’s refusal to eat, his temper boiled over when the kid peed his pants. What Jonathan did next both angers and baffles. [Read more...]

Las Vegas, NV - Crack cocaine brings people together. Unfortunately, those people are crack heads, and not always the best company. However, if you’re already together with a heap of crack heads, there’s a good chance that you’re also a crack head. As dangerous as they are entertaining, there really is no safe place from which to watch a crack head’s strange antics. I’ve seen them scale walls, chew their way through Plexiglas and break down doors with bad prosthetic limbs. They’re kind of like zombies, if zombies asked you for change and then smeared you with their feces before you could take your hands out of your pockets. Jackie Wilridge is one of these crack heads, but instead of the standard shit-smearing and trying to sell invisible food items, Jackie attacked and robbed a fellow crack head in a Las Vegas apartment, before boiling a pot of water and scalding her to death.

Aurora, IL- Not a long story, but the details in this horrendous case are going to make your teeth grind and your fists clench. In April of 2007, Estela Ramirez-Placido, 24, became enraged that her 3-year-old son soiled his pants. After cleaning him up, she began to hit him and when the boy fought back, Ramirez-Placido saw red. She held her son against the wall by his neck and punched him in the stomach until he fell to the floor. She then placed her knee on the boy and began slapping him. Loving mother that she is, then grabbed the boy’s left leg and twisted until it snapped in a spiral fracture. [Read more...]

Brown County, Kentucky – Raising children is a difficult job. Just imagine all the things that these little sponge brains need to learn. Just imagine all the things parents need to learn! What a slippery slope parenthood can be. I mean, what are the consequences if you don’t reach the perfect lesson plan? Are you then facing a life-long commitment because your child doesn’t know enough to leave home when they’re old enough? What about one of the biggest fears parents have…children setting the house on fire. What’s a tried and true method of making sure they don’t play with matches/lighters/fire besides the typical, “I said so”? I don’t think Adrian Hord’s method of taping his girlfriend’s son’s mouth and limbs while burning his stomach is quite the method most rational adults would choose. [Read more...]

Warminster, Pennsylvania – Christine Miller’s 14-month-old daughter was in pretty bad shape. Last February, after being diagnosed for failure to thrive, it was discovered the child had a fractured arm in the process of healing, was losing hair due to possible malnutrition, had a second-degree burn on the bottom of her foot, and a severe wound on her buttocks. ChristineChristine reviews said the child burned her foot when she stepped on a hot electric stove burner. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I always had a problem keeping my kiddos off those hot burners – the little hellions. *massive eyeroll* And it turns out the wound to her butt was caused by a broken needle. Christine initially told officers she believed it was a sewing needle that was lodged in her child’s butt cheek – turns out, it was actually a broken hypodermic needle. Now how the hell did that get there? It supposedly got there courtesy of Christine’s boyfriend, Thomas Kule – a known heroin user. [Read more...]

Queens, NY–This damn woman sure knows how to waste some good liquor. Marie, totally unaware of America’sAmerica reviews view on alcohol abuse, decided to perform some voodoo on her 6 year old daughter. Guess she thought she had some demons that needed ridding. The clever woman she was, poured a ring of rum on the floor and lit it. (Insert “Oooh Fire” here) Now apparently that wasn’t enough of a deterrent for those pesky rascals. Fuck no, she had more rum in that bottle and what’s worse than left over Rum? Not enough fire, of course.  Damn people, must I hold your hand through this process? [Read more...]

Martinsburg, W. Va.–A few months ago, I wrote a story about Jackie Nanney and Jessica Pack–a couple of assholes who shot their children with BB guns as a source of discipline and entertainment. Imagine my surprise when I came across yet another couple who keep the BB gun handy…along with bottle rockets and lit cigarettes. [Read more...]

Jennifer (MyspaceMySpace) & Kyle (Myspace) Frisbie

Las Vegas, NV–Jennifer and Kyle Frisbie have been described as despicable, horrific, neglectful. Those descriptions don’t even come close to the truth. In fact, I had to drag out the thesaurus and throw out a few more; Disturbing, ghastly, abhorrent, repulsive, revolting, beastly…etc. You get the idea.

Jennifer and Kyle are the parents of a four-month old infant. That infant is now hospitalized with bruises, burns, and multiple rib fractures.  She is also suffering from severe malnourishment. A medical report states the ‘child’s skin was folded over and sagging, and her limbs were elongated with little or no muscle mass.’

Altoona, PA–Emilee Brogden, 19, was shackin’ up with a real brute. Her live-in penis goes by the name of Ryan Brothers. Demonites, this guy is a real bad-ass, he can totally knock the shit out of a 3-year-old child. His parents must be so proud.

Joey Herminio Melendez (MyspaceMySpace)

Lancasterlancaster, PA–UnamusedCat originally posted the Joey Melendez story in our forums in late OctoberOctober reviews. Melendez was arrested for beating and burning his girlfriend’s 18-month-old son. At the time, there weren’t really many details. Now, new information is trickling out at the prelims. The excuses this asshole had for the abuse absolutely floored me.

Dublin, GA–Parents of young children know what a hassle it can be to run just a few simple errands. Most of us just deal with the hassle and take them along, put the errands off for another day, or call a responsible adult to sit with the children. Shambria Fields, 21, chose none of those options. She walked out the door of her apartment SaturdaySaturday reviews morning to run errands, leaving her three very young children home alone to fend for themselves. A fire started. Now Shambria has one dead daughter and two critically injured sons. [Read more...]

Tammy Smith and her handiwork.  Yes, those burns say “WIMP”.

Moundsville, WV – Tammy Smith, 43, thinks her six-year-old daughter is a wimp, and she doesn’t care who knows it.  Last week, Smith’s little girl tripped and fell down.  But rather than comfort her child, Smith burned the word “WIMP” into the side of her daughter’s neck, branding the child.  That’ll teach her, Tammy!  A teacher at the little girl’s school saw the burns, which as you can see above are complete with a dotted “I” and a cigarette burn.  The teacher, horrified, took pictures of the little girl’s neck – and then called police.
