Rochester, NY – An 8-month-old child is suffering first, second, and third degree burns to his back and butt because Kelly Hernandez didn’t feel like bending over. Hernandez, an in-home daycare provider, has had her license suspended and is facing child abuse charges after she allegedly placed her young charge on top of the stove to change his diaper. Somehow, the electric burner was turned on while the child was sitting on it. Hernandez was reportedly distraught and crying while undergoing questioning, as she should have been. She admitted to police that she had made a stupid mistake, but said she was lazy that day and “didn’t want to bend over to change the baby so she put him on the stove top.” I’ve changed diapers in some off the wall places, but the kitchen stove never crossed my mind. The child’s parents say the burns are so bad, the baby may need plastic surgery. Hernandez, 44, has been charged with second-degree assault and reckless assault of a child by a day care provider and has been released on $1,500 bail.

Austin, TX - What’s a parent to do with a sick kid? One mother apperantly thinks the thing to do is to drag her puking sick son over to her boyfriend’s apartment. The boyfriend, Adam Tijerina, made it known that he didn’t appreciate the boy repeatedly vomiting all over the place. The girlfriend says she recalls Tijerina mentioning if her son throws up in his home again, he’s going to pull the 17-month-old’s diaper off and hurt his genitals. I don’t know why this didn’t alarm her but it didn’t and she spent the night. The next morning, the mother noticed bruising on and around her son’s privates. I don’t know why this didn’t alarm her, either, but she waited 3 days before taking the little boy to a doctor. Medical personnel found injuries all over his body, including severe bruising on his genitals, three 2-month-old leg fractures, and bleeding in his left eye. Of course, when questioned by investigators, Tijerina said the boy fell down the stairs. Adam Tijerina has been charged with injury to a child with intent to cause bodily injury and is held on $30,000 bond. His previous history includes charges of charges of driving while intoxicated, unlawful restraint, assault on a family member and deadly conduct. The boy is expected to recovery fully and is now in the care of family members. No mention of possible charges against the mother. She’s probably not alarmed by that possibility. [Read more...]

Pensacola, FL – Caroline Bramlet, 21, obviously has her priorities screwed up. Instead of paying her electric bill, she spent the money on other “necessities”. I can only guess what they were… but her recent arrest included possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Because the electricity had been turned off in her apartment, she was using candles for lighting.  I guess she needed to borrow a cup of sugar or something, because Friday night she allegedly ran over to the neighbor’s home and left her 6-month-old baby girl home alone. A candle on the window sill in the baby’s room fell over and a fire started. The baby received minor burns to her scalp before she was pulled from the burning bed. Now DCF has the baby and Caroline has free electricity in her cell. [Read more...]

SunriseSunrise reviews, FL – Emanuel Lawrence is a man with priorities – on the top of the list: Ganja, X-Box, and sleep. He’s got a couple of kids that fall somewhere in the middle of said list. Authorities allege that between NovemberNovember reviews 17th and November 18, Emanuel engaged in a little recreational relaxation of the mary-jane kind before pulling an all-nighter in front of the X-Box. Emanuel told police that he crawled his unemployed ass into bed at about 6:00 a.m. on the 18th and had been asleep for about 45 minutes before his girlfriend woke him up and asked him to feed the kiddos. Emanuel’s girlfriend, Inez Gonzalez, has her priorities as well – she works during the day and goes to school at night. Pity she couldn’t count on her man to properly take care of business at home. Emanuel got up, fed the kids, and returned to bed with his infant, 7-month-old Jaidyn, and Jaidyn’s 3-year-old sister, Aaliyah. He placed Jaidyn between himself and Aaliyah and fell into a heavy, heavy slumber. When he awoke, 7.5 hours later, he discovered he had rolled over on the baby – she was dead. [Read more...]

Anchorage, AK – Ugh. I don’t even know where to start with this one. We have a couple of fucktards – Jonathan Miller and Stephen Dilley II, a 5-year-old boy left in their care, and a “redneck flamethrower.” Taking that into consideration, you just know this won’t end well. Last Friday, the boy’s mother left him in the care of Miller and Dilley for the weekend. Miller is the woman’s current boyfriend – Dilley is the woman’s ex-boyfriend and father to one of her five children – and though the woman has a restraining order against him, Dilley lives in a trailer on the property and helps her with her brood. According to the arrest affidavit, Miller told officers that he’s been trying to “toughen the boy up” and the best way to do that is to “scare the shit out of them when they don’t see it coming.” Last Friday evening, Dilley grabbed a can of starter fluid and an lighter and asked Miller, “You know what would be funny?” Miller must have been thinking along the same lines because he responded, “You know how much trouble I could get in for this?” Then he called for the child. When the little boy opened the door, Miller let him have it.  [Read more...]

Panama City Beach, FL – I know this is going to sound silly, but, have you ever been to a tweaker yard sale? If you haven’t, put that on your list of things to do before you die because it is friggin’ hilarious. See, when tweakers are tweakin’, they like to take shit apart. Though they are up for 2-3 days at a time, with plenty of time to tinker, they never put the shit back together the right way and they just tape it all back together. They quickly get bored with one project and move onto another. I’ve been past many a yard sale where every single item has, at minimum, three strips of duct tape – TV’s, beds, dishes, couches, cribs, stereos, cars – you name it, it’s taped. The set of tweaker parents asshats in this story are very familiar with duct tape – they tried to fix their broken toddler with it. [Read more...]

DeKalb County, GA – Sinead Harrison and her boyfriend, Landis Stewart-Moore are a couple of callous mother-fuckers. They are callous, they are stupid, and they don’t deserve the oxygen they breathe or the space they occupy. Sometime Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning, Sinead squished out a brand spankin’ new baby boy. Concerned about her health after giving birth, Sinead then took herself to the emergency room at DeKalb Medical Center, leaving the newborn with Landis. She eventually told medical personnel that she had given birth to a child and tossed it in a dumpster behind a gas station. Authorities were contacted and officers were dispatched to search for the child. After a thorough search of the dumpster revealed nothing but trash, Sinead was questioned once more.   [Read more...]

Dayton, OH – Before I left the hospital with each and every one of my spawn, I was schooled and lectured on the how-to’s of taking care of the shiny new little human. I was given pamphlets, books, advice, etc. To this day, my spawn are all teens now, I remember being told about bath time. “Mom,” the nurse said. “When bathing the precious darling, always remember to test the water first. You can test the temp by dipping your elbow in the bath water – if it’s too hot for your elbow, it’s too hot for baby.” Easy-peasy. Right? Guess not. Donnishia Peterson’s tard mug is being featured on the Dreamin’ Demon today because she either wasn’t smart enough to test the water or she just didn’t give a shit. Either way, her 10-month-old daughter will forever be scarred after being placed in scalding hot bath water. [Read more...]

Las Vegas, Nevada–Raven Gibbons used to have a 5-year-old daughter named D’Amber Myles. D’Amber suffered from cerebral palsy, had the mental capacity of a 2-year-old child, and was only able to use her right arm. Surely, D’Amber required almost constant supervision and care. You certainly wouldn’t want to leave a special needs child alone in the bathtub, not even for a couple of minutes, right? Didn’t seem to bother Raven any to just leave the kid sitting in the tub…she had more important things to do! Like watch TV and stuff. D’Amber couldn’t even hold her head up on her own, and Raven just left her there in the tub, walked out of the bathroom, and shut the door. [Read more...]

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.

Oxford, FL–You will have to bear with my as I shudder and twitch my way through this story. You see, I have a terrible fear of snakes. The little-bitty garden variety can send chills up and down my spine, so I can’t imagine ever coming up against a “real” snake, of the 12-ft. and longer variety. Shaunia Hare, 2, was sleeping Wednesday morning when the family pet found it’s way out of a glass aquarium, slithered to the child’s crib, wrapped itself around her body and bit her little head. Charles Darnell, owner of the snake and boyfriend of Shaunia’s mother, awoke to find the snake missing. I can’t imagine his terror at what he found next. He entered the child’s room in search of the snake, and discovered the 12-foot-long Burmese python in the crib, on top of Shaunia. Charles got hold of a knife and repeatedly stabbed the snake until it relinquished it’s hold on the child. [Read more...]

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.

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! [Read more...]

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. [Read more...]

McMinnville, TN–The fire started in the kitchen in the early morning hours of May 13…it is believed that an unattended hot plate may have sparked the fire. Firefighters were informed that there were two children in the apartment, 3-year-old Kayndace and 1-year-old Akeelia Fisher. Akeelia was found in her bedroom. Kayndace was found in a hallway near the living room…she may have been trying to escape the flames and smoke. CPR didn’t help either child. Both likely died from smoke inhalation.
