As much as I’ve been complaining that the national media has not been paying any attention to the Giovanni Gonzalez story I received an e-mail today that restored my faith in humanity. The one national media outlet that is actually doing what it can for Giovanni is America’s Most Wanted. They have an extensive profile of the situation on their website.

Every week myself and a lot of other crime bloggers receive an e-mail letting us know what’s on AMW that week. Hopefully they’ll have Giovanni’s story featured on this week’s episode.

Lynn police scour evidence in disappearance of Giovanni Gonzalez:

Unfortunately police have come up empty so far in their search for Giovanni Gonzalez. Police say that they are scaling back on the physical search for Giovanni and are refocuisng on the evidence they have so far.

Between this and the search of the cemetery I don’t have high hopes at this point.

However Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett says that he is optimistic that Giovanni is still alive. He also announced that lab results from the bloody mop are back but he couldn’t comment on the results at this time.

Lynn’s Pine Grove Cemetery targeted in search for missing boy:

Yesterday Mass. State Police and police from Lynn, Mass. scoured Pine Grove Cemetery looking for missing 5-year-old Giovanni Gonzalez.

Cadaver dogs were used but police insist that this was a search and rescue mission and not a recovery mission.

Giovanni’s story may even be featured on America’s Most Wanted this week.

FBI: Couple wants car, offers sex with 5-year-old:

25-year-old Jennifer Richards and her 40-year-old married boyfriend Sean Michael Block, both of San Antonio, have been arrested for offering sex with her 5-year-old daughter in order to get an apartment and a used car.

According to an affidavit, the investigation began when an informant told the FBI about a text message allegedly sent by Block reading: “Nice piece 5 yrs old belongs to my gf and she wants to sell it.”

Richards also has a 10-month-old daughter that they planned on selling.

Investigators also say that the pair were planning on abducting, raping, and torturing a teenage runaway.

If matters could be any worse Richards thought the ‘experience’ would be good for her daughter and that Richards would probably get off by watching.

What astounds me about this case is not only Richards a twisted bitch who thought this scheme was a good idea but that her sick ass boyfriend agreed with it. How do you appraoch a subject like that with your married boyfriend?

“Hey honey, what do you think about lending my 5-year-old out for sex and I want to watch too?”

My reaction would not have been ‘That’s hot’ I can guarantee you that much.

What are the odds that two twisted fucks like this would not only find each other but they’d be working at the same place. In case you’re wondering that place is The Cheesecake Factory.

Also I wonder if she previously pimped out her daughter before.

What scares me the most is that there’s obviously a network of pedophiles who will barter for child sex.

Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go violently retch.

Thanks to Tony for the tip.

Search continues in Lynn, MA for missing 5 year old:

Police in Lynn, Mass. are conducting a door to door search for missing 5-year-old Giovanni Gonzalez. Road blocks are also planned.

The main person of interest in the case is Giovanni’s father Ernesto Gonzalez. He’s in jail for child endangerment charged and refuses to give details on how he received a cut on his hand.

This case sounds vaguely familiar to another case from these pages yet it’s not receiving the national media attention that the other case is. Does anyone care to give any theories on why you think that is?

Disturbing evidence found in home of missing boy’s father:

A bloody mop was found in the apartment of Ernesto Gonzalez. Gonzalez is the father of Giovanni Gonzalez who has been missing since last weekend. Ernesto Gonzalez did not return Giovanni to his mother after a weekend visitation.

Ernesto Gonzalez is being held on $500K bond on child endangerment charges.

Mom Makes Plea For 5-Year-Old’s Safe Return:

With all the hoopla surrounding the Caylee Anthony story stories like this are getting swept under the rug. So effective immediately I am imposing a Casey Anthony embargo on this site. There are many fine blogs on the Coalition of Crime Bloggers blogroll who are covering the story. If you wish to receive more information about the Casey Anthony please visit them or my message board.

5-year-old Giovanni Gonzalez was reported missing by his mother, 22-year-old Daisy Colon of East Boston, on Monday night. Ms. Colon had dropped Giovanni off with his father, 36-year-old Ernesto Gonzalez of Lynn, Mass. Giovanni’s parents have been involved with a custody dispute. Gonzales did not return Giovanni at the end of his visitation.

Gonzalez was arrested Monday and ordered held on $500,000 cash bail following his arraignment in Lynn District Court. Officials were concerned because Gonzalez had a cut on his left finger, and he gave conflicting accounts of how the injury happened, the Lynn Daily Item reported.

And Giovanni is no where to be found…

Giovanni weighs approximately 40 pounds and is 49 inches tall with black hair and brown eyes. When last seen, he was wearing blue denim jeans, a red T-shirt, a silver braided chain and black Spiderman sandals. He was carrying a black backpack that had the Transformers robot characters on it. It contained some of his clothes and toys.

He has a faded skin pigmentation mark on the lower right side of his chest and a small scar above his eyebrow.

Anyone with information about the child’s disappearance or whereabouts is asked to call 911 or Lynn Police at 781-595-2000.

I’ll be doing updates on this story as details become available and as time allows.

Woman Charged With Giving Wine To Baby At State Fair:

State fairs are notorious for trashy behavior by some people and the Missouri state fair is no different.

There 40-year-old Kathryn Bowen bought a bottle of wine (or perhaps a box), poured into a baby bottle and gave it to her 11-month-old baby. As a matter of fact Bowen even admitted it and said she was doing it to help the baby sleep.

I’m thinking if the baby needed to sleep maybe a state fair wasn’t the best place to take her.

The baby has been placed in protective custody and Bowen was arrested on child endangerment charges.

But that’s not half as bad as Mardala Derival and Mackenson Dantus. Their aggravated manslaughter trial just started. They’re accused in the Valentine’s Day 2004 death of their 3-month-old daughter. To get their daughter to sleep they gave her a bottle that contained water, vodka, sugar and salt. The baby died from liver disease and had a BAC of 0.47. That’s almost 5 times the legal limit for an adult.

Again I have to ask why are stupid drunk people still allowed to breed? That’s probably how they ended up with kids in the first place.

Casey Anthony Released After More Than Month In Jail:

Casey Anthony got out of jail today. Mr. black hat bounty hunter Leonard Padilla posted her bail.

If you think this story was a circus before you haven’t seen anything yet.

Are you as sick of this story as I am? I’m half tempted to stop blogging about it. I used to pride myself on blogging the stories that no one else did now here I am blogging the same story as everyone else.

Now let’s sit back and see if she actually gives bounty paper towel man…I mean Mr. Bounty Hunter any information.

Homer Simpson once said that alcohol was the cause of and solution to all our problems. He was half right. Overindulging in alcohol and parenting just don’t mix and here’s two stories that go towards proving that point.

18-year-old Krista Cherry of Greenwich, NY got so tanked she dropped her baby on its head and then drove off.

So we have underage drinking, DWI, and child abuse. Cherry claimed she was stressed and ‘could not deal with the child.’ The baby daddy was also charged with supplying alcohol to a minor.

Luckily the baby is expected to recover.

Not so lucky was Alberto Rios of Federal Way, Washington. He just pleaded guilty in the death of his infant son. It seems that Mr. Rios consumed a large amount of alcohol during a barbecue he was holding. Rios fell asleep next to the fire pit while holding on to his 7-month-old son.

Sometime during the night the baby fell into the fire pit and died.

Rios will be deported after finishing his sentence.

You don’t have to stop having fun after you have children but you do have to start being responsible.

Hallandale Beach: Gambler granny taken to jail:

Today we have the arrest of a GrandBreeder.

Jeanne Shahan, of North Miami was arrested for leaving two of her grandchildren, who are in her legal custody, outside of a Florida casino while she went in and gambled. Her grand kids are a 2-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy.

At least she didn’t leave them in the car but still did you notice it’s a hot as hell state like Florida? The kids were checked out at a hospital and thankfully they’re ok.

Does this mean that during the U.S. winter this year that we’ll hear about how kids are left out in the cold of Minnesota?

Granny’s been jailed on child neglect charges.

Bounty Hunter Believes Anthony Will Talk If Free:

Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla is such a classy man when it comes to the disappearance of Caylee Anthony.

“I am a bounty hunter. If I find that baby or if I help in her return then everyone of you will kiss my (expletive) in public,” Leonard Padilla said.

As much as I hope Caylee Anthony is found I thinks it’s obvious that the Padilla clan are not bonding Casey out for altruistic reasons.

He also says something that I think most level headed people are not thinking…

“I don’t think the little baby is dead. I think the baby is alive, and we can find her,” he said. “But the person who has to give us the information is the mother.”

If I didn’t know any better I’d swear he’s working for the Anthonys.

Padilla also says that they’re not in it for the reward.

“There’s a reward out there; I’m not interested in the reward,” Leonard Padilla told FOX News on Monday. “If the person that has the child contacts me, they can have the reward — I’m not law enforcement, I’m not interested in the prosecution or sending somebody to prison — my only interest, myself and my nephew, is to get that child back.”

I’m sure all this free publicity has nothing do with it.

Report: Pacifier Taped in Baby’s Mouth:

A couple in Michigan were recently pulled over during a routine traffic stop. When police approached the car they noticed a baby in the back seat with a pacifier taped to it’s face using electrical tape. The baby was not in a car seat either.

The 19-year-old male breeder and 18-year-old female breeder could be facing abuse and neglect charges. The baby is now in custody of its grandparents.

Ok, here’s my plan for when I rule the world. As soon as they reach puberty we get the kids fixed but the reversible kind. Once they’re able to show their mature and knowledgeable enough to have kids we unfix them. One of the questions on the quiz will be “Is it acceptable to use tape on an infant?” I’m sure that will weed out some of the undesirables.

3 Year Old Found Bound, Gagged And Home Alone:

Erica Bailey of Dayton, Ohio has been arrested on child endangering, kidnapping and abduction charges.

She ‘punished’ her 3-year-old daughter by tying her daughter up, gagging her with a sock, locking her in a bedroom, then leaving their residence.

Luckily the child’s grandmother tipped off police and now has custody of the girl.

I’m beginning to think there’s some underground competition of Bad Breeders who try and top each other with the most creative forms of child abuse.

Independent Caylee investigators submit evidence:

A few independent investigators search near a soccer field found some clothes and other items while conducting a search into the disappearance of Caylee Marie Anthony.

“We found some things in this area … blue jeans, size five from express,” Derrick Miller.

“I found a couple of book bags, some other articles of clothing, some female clothing, a female shoe,” said Wyatt Locke. “We did find a few articles of children’s clothing yes,” Locke added.

The items have been turned over to police and some of the clothes are the same size that Casey Anthony wears.

My question is what is the affiliation of these independent investigators? Are they volunteers for the police department or are they friends of the Anthonys?
