Fort Smith, Arkansas — I bring to you this morning, a story just teeming with fail. And, in the center of all that complete failure, a nearly 2-year-old girl. First off, we have Ashley and Rebecca McMillion, a couple who, for quite some time, have been living in a 16 x 8 foot wooden storage shed in the back yard of Ashley’s mother’s property. Ashley’s mother, Marilyn McMillion, purchased that shed for Ashley and his young bride to help the couple out. The two in the shed eventually became three when Rebecca gave birth to the couple’s daughter. Cozy. So cozy, in fact, that when Ashley started molesting his daughter, his wife had no choice but to watch. …

Fort Wayne, Indiana I imagine it’s extremely difficult to be a conscientious DCS employee and manage to keep your ass out of jail. It must be a balancing act composed of restraint and resourcefulness. Those employees who are an attribute to their profession seems to go to any length to make a difference in children’s lives. The bad ones seem to lend a helping hand with destroying them. And as I sit here attempting to write up this story I have to wonder just how in the hell these DCS case workers kept from turning on Amanda Alvather and not beating the living shit right out of her for what she did to her children. …

La Quinta, CA–Delilah Urrutia turned 3-years-old on May 14. And, if she was anything like my children were at that age, she was a busy little toddler. Kids that age are curious about everything, always on the move, and forever grabbing anything and everything within reach. Yolanda Pena, Delilah’s mother, discovered how crafty and sneaky a toddler can be after she left a pot of extremely hot water sitting on a kitchen counter. According to Yolanda, the child accidentally tipped the pot over onto herself. Yolanda has a severely scalded and screaming child on her hands and a mess in the kitchen. What’s a mom to do? I know, punish the kid!…

Palmetto, FL – There are some children in this world that have to overcome some pretty horrendous obstacles to make it to adulthood. Things like abuse, neglect, poverty, soccer moms with a cell phone attached to one ear, a latte in the other, and a foot on the gas pedal trying to make an early morning pilates class – you know, the usual. Then there are some that have the odds stacked against them even before they are thrust into this world naked, cold and hungry, some that never have a chance, some like the fetus Guadlia Bravo is carrying in her miserable womb. Bravo seems to be as fertile as some freshly turned compost, but with the mothering instincts of a lump of dog shit. When her toddler was found wandering in a grocery store parking lot, Bravo, 7 months pregnant, was found tanked, sitting on a curb, getting her drink on.…

Charleston, West Virginia–OMFG. Demonites, I have been writing for this site for quite some time now. I have written about some pretty weird people doing some pretty bizarre things. It has gotten to the point where nothing shocks me…not eye-ball munchers, not horse fuckers, not even Destinie Duvall. But the Mallos? These fuckers threw me for a fucking loop. Never have I seen such dysfunction in one oddball family. You see, it all started with the death of Phyllis Phares. The 82-year-old woman was killed in her home on June 14. On June 15, authorities had a suspect in the murder, a 14-year-old boy who lived across the street from Phares. On June 17, the boy was charged with first-degree murder. He is also facing sexual assault charges in an unrelated case. That was just the beginning of the arrests….. …

St. Augustine, Florida–Raise your hand if you have ever accidentally locked your keys in your car with the engine still running. I have, and boy, was my face red. The folks at the DMV were probably wondering if it had been a wise decision to issue me a driver’s license that day. Now, raise your hand if you have ever accidentally locked your keys and your 2-year-old child in your car while the engine was still running. For six hours. In the middle of June. What’s this? None of you have ever done that? I didn’t think so. Well, Omar Long did, and little Arianna baked to death. …

Onamia, Minnesota is about 32 miles SW of Brainerd, a name made famous for enough of us sick individuals who happened to enjoy the movie Fargo. Onamia has a population of about 850 people and hopefully will be a couple less by the time this story plays out in the courtroom. The participants are the quintessential features on the Dreamin’ Demon, the kind who fit the prerequisites: selfish baby abusing motherfuckers with the propensity for criminal stupidity. I’m of course speaking of Lance Ballinger (23) and Kelly Friend, once boyfriend/girlfriend. Right now Lance is in a whole heap of trouble and with crossed fingers, Kelly will soon learn what it’s like when a mother makes shitty decisions regarding her children.…

St. Petersburg, Florida–Police received a call around midnight on Friday from Kimberly Crone, who said she was following a motorist who was driving erratically. Before the call to 911 had even ended, the erratic driver plowed into Ted Manooch’s truck, which was parked in front of his house. The driver hit the parked vehicle with enough force to slam it right into the house. After the accident, Kimberly said she jumped out of her car and heard a baby crying. “I tried to break the window, but I couldn’t break it with my hand.” …

Keystone Heights, Florida–Sean Wells is a litterbug. If he hadn’t thrown a bottle out of a moving car, he may not be gracing the front page of the Dreamin’ Demon. But, he did…and it set off a whole chain of bizarre events. All of these events began at around 8:00 Monday morning. Wells tossed a glass bottle out of his car window, the bottle broke and a motorcyclist behind Wells’ car was hit with shattered glass. The guy on the motorcycle, Jeff Cruce, managed to get Wells to pull his car over. But, when Cruce confronted Wells about the glass, Wells put the car in reverse, hit Cruce in the leg, and sped off.…

Mesa, Arizona–Early Sunday morning, around 7:30, police were called to an apartment complex on a report that two very young children were wandering around unsupervised. Officers arrived and attempted to locate the children’s mother, with no luck. Investigators said that when they finally figured out which second-floor apartment the 2- and 3-year-old lived in, they found the door wide open and feces all over the floor. While officers waited for someone to arrive at the home, the youngest child headed to the pantry for a quick snack of dog food.…

Las Vegas, Nevada–Jonathan Weaver and his girlfriend had an arrangement, he would care for her two children, ages 1 and 2, while she attended night school. It was a routine they had followed, without issue, for nearly a year. Though the pair didn’t live together, Jonathan was like a father to those children. So, why the hell is he being featured here at the Dreamin’ Demon? To put it bluntly, he left the children, bound, gagged, and hooded, in a locked garage, so he could attend a basketball game.…

Memphis, Tennessee–I bring to you, today, a story of fail. We have Camilla Fields, 26, and Stacey Cleaves, also 26. The two women hit their local Wal-Mart for a shopping shoplifting spree. With them, they had Cleaves’ two-month old infant…he was their ‘cover.’ Fields, under the guise of changing the baby’s diaper, entered a bathroom and began shoving her five-finger discounts into old, previously used Wal-Mart bags. When confronted, she used the infant as a weapon.…

Okaloosa County, Florida–Sometimes, a nosy neighbor really comes to the rescue. Jennifer D’Silva’s neighbor heard her baby crying, obviously long enough to become concerned. She went to D’Silva’s home and knocked on the door…no answer. The neighbor recalled seeing D’Silva leave at about 5:30 a.m., and it was now 7:30 a.m. Was it possible she had left her infant alone? Nooo…ya think?…

I realize I am something like 5 days late with the Daily Bite and I apologize. I was off having a worldwind romance with a rich, devastatingly handsome, independantly wealthy man who only has eyes for me. Ok. It was only in my dreams, but whatever. While I was off in la-la land, the asshats of the world continued to commit heinous crimes that should have earned them a place on our front page and maybe secured them a place in hell. I hope Satan is better at keeping up with his responsibilities than I am though.…
