Breanna Hall Burns Eight-Month-Old Son with Curling Iron
In Florida, Breanna Hall, 18, was arrested for burning her infant son with a curling iron. The three burns on the baby’s leg were so severe that he was taken to the emergency room. Hall was arrested for aggravated child abuse and has been released after posting bond money.
At first, Hall said the burn happened accidentally when the baby got to the hot curling iron while she went to get a sandwich. She said the iron’s cord was hanging off of the dresser and the child pulled it down on himself.
It was suspicious enough for child protective services to investigate. However, they determined that the child was in a safe environment and that there was no concern for abuse.
Luckily for the child, one of the detectives wasn’t convinced it was an accident. He showed photographs of the child’s burns to the county’s assistant medical examiner who felt that the injuries showed signs of abuse. (You can see a picture of the burns on the NBC2 News Online website.)
When the detective confronted Hall, she said she inflicted the burns in order to teach the child a lesson about touching the curling iron. Excuse me, the child is eight months old! All he would know is pain and couldn’t grasped at what his “mother” was trying to teach him. What was this idiot thinking?!

This place needs a forum, or a chat feature or a way to private message each other and stuff.
We go off topic soooo much around here. But it’s FUN.

April I never said SHE was religious, what I said is that some of us find the views of the fanatically religious, uptight, controlling right (right as in conservatives) to be repulsive.
November 7th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
Well, we wouldn’t have to go off topic – NOW WOULD WE?? Any comment we make, Carys has to pipe in with some off the wall opposition. I am not the only one that notices, yet she still believes she is right in every post. I’m not even sure she comes here for the sake of discussing child abuse. I think she comes here to try to piss people off.
To bring it back to the “topic” – This particular BITCH (Breanna Hall) is a perfect example of a hoodrat. But if you mention her hair, her showing her lava lamp of an ass on myspace, or the look in her mugshot that screams “F*CK YOU!” or say thet she deserves to have someone shove a hot curling iron down her throat, Carys will chime in and have some liberal ass reason for why you are wrong and shame on you for thinking that way. We should all be more open minded and show more compassion for dickheads that abuse, kill, rape or torture children. Not me. Not today. Not ever. No way. I think that all of these f*ckers that commit these disgusting acts deserve the exact treatment that they imposed on their poor children.
‘NOUGH SAID!

stupippl – Sorry – I must have misread. I lumped all into one generic title (fanatic). I agree completely with your statement either way. Sorry if I have offended you.
November 7th, 2007 at 4:21 pm
OH and BTW I think i know what that “string” is in her myspace pic…
I (now come on, i am being SERIOUS here) think she braided her umm…. well, pubes EWWWWWW Either that or they’re selling tampons colored to match yer pubes. Yikes!
And thank you april, I am a pretty liberal girl. I think some of these cases we do need to have compassion for the perpetrator of the crime. I don’t think this particular case seems to me to be one of those.

*holds back erge to vomit*
stupippl – She is nasty enough for that to be true. She should spend more time and the gym and less time cuttin’ up wer damn clothes. Wait – scratch that. She should take some parenting classes and stop burning her baby.
November 7th, 2007 at 4:30 pm
Ooopsss – I meant URGE. Sorry for the dumbassness….
November 7th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
Carys, why don’t you just go away?
November 7th, 2007 at 4:43 pm
I can’t disagree with that april. It’s pretty disgusting.
November 7th, 2007 at 4:59 pm
April, I agree with you 100%. As we both know, Carys is just here for her amusement. She doesn’t care about these kids. She only wants to argue with someone. She calls our passion for these little ones “frothing at the mouth” but notice, she is always the first to defend the killers of these innocent children and when she has no valid argument, then it’s the “you don’t read so well” approach. Personally, I don’t see how you can be a parent and read some of these things and not be angry.
It wouldn’t surprise me if we see her on this site in the future.
November 7th, 2007 at 6:14 pm
First I’d like to say that if you feel that way about Carys you lose your moral high ground when you resort to “her method” of personal attacks.
I would also like to say that, definately not in ALL cases, but in some of the cases I have followed on here people are awefully quick to assume things, pass judgements, and to say some really nasty things about people that I agree we should have passion for.
I don’t think being mentally ill should get you out of being punished for the crime you commit, but under some circumstances can’t we as human beings have a little compassion for fellow, adult human beings?
Until you’ve had both their genetics and life experiences you CANNOT say you wouldn’t be just like them if you were them because you just don’t know.
I have to admit (not with my kids perse) that I have done some things in my life I am not so proud of either. Does that diminish my value as a human?
Granted, those things aren’t the kind of thing you read about here, but I could tell some stories!
I haven’t really followed the stuff on this thread because it seemed like a bunch of juvenile bullshit to be honest. But I can tell you about other threads I have posted similar sentiments on and been treated pretty crappy.
I just wish people could remember 1) innocent until proven guilty 2) it’s not OUR job to judge 3) sometimes people do really screwed up stuff because they’re internally driven to do it. That’s not an excuse to escape punishment, but their suffering, too, is worthy of compassion.
November 7th, 2007 at 6:42 pm
stupippl – I agree and disagree. It is hard NOT to pass judgement on some of these cases. In many cases – You read what is posted and it gets you so heated that you say (type) things that may not be a true respresentation of the person you really are. Child abuse is a pretty hairy topic. In any case – This particular woman (Breanna Hall) is a skank. The evidence is there. She admitted to burning her son. And she deserves NO compassion. As for the people posting on this site – I try to be considerate of all of them and their feelings. I try to be respectful even in a heated debate. Carys doesn’t deserve my respect. I am glad to banter with you and have opposing feelings. Besides – If you read back every post I have left here – I always appologize if I offend anyone and I am the first to admit when I’m wrong. I just can’t do that with Carys. I can’t and I won’t.
BTW – I had to check out your myspace page – Your grandson is too cute.
November 7th, 2007 at 6:46 pm
Rockdoll – As you know – I agree wholeheartedly. I feel that she is particularly out to argue with me. I must say – I sure am flattered. I should insert a disclaimer for her. I am a Texan. We are patriotic and believe in the dealth penalty 100%. I will argue those two things until I’m blue in the face. Just because I live in Cali now does not mean I have become some pilates, granola eating, eco friendly liberal. I will always be a Texan and stand by what I believe.
November 7th, 2007 at 6:50 pm
April awww thanks. Painful situation. Hubby actually pointed out to me this week that the situation we ARE in with him and her, is far better than having to read about them on here.
She is the child you spend your life protecting the world from, insteading of protecting her from the world. Honestly once she is found and incarcerated I don’t think I’ll ever speak to her again. My grandson is safe and that’s the most important part now.
I do respect what you say. It’s hard not to get emotional and jump to conclusions, especially with an issue as charged as child abuse.
I have really come to enjoy this sight and just feel dismayed when I see so many posts like on this thread.
I appreciate you discussing this with me. i also appreciate that in your reply, you accept responsibility for YOU. You don’t really talk much about what a jerk you feell the other person is, but you accept that you’re imperfect (as we all are) and it’s just the way we are as people.
I really respect that, thanks

November 7th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
Awww – thanks. I am really a nice person until I feel like you are trying knock me off course. I enjoy this site also and enjoy reading most posts. Yours are alway fun to read. You seem to stat diplomatic and reasonable. That is why you will never get any disrespect from me.
Sorry to hear about your daughter. I know it must be heartbreaking to deal with the loss of a child (even ones that haven’t passed away). My mother is dealing with issues with my sister that has driven a wedge between them. My sister and myself as well. Nothing illegal, but I can relate. I certainly wishe you the best. I take it your are raising your grandson?? I wanna play with him… I love little boys. They are way too fun. my son is being a pill tonight. I made him go with his dad to get dinner. They should be back soon…

April – Clearly my goal is to make everyone else happy here, heh. I’ll get right on that.
Also, I asked how it was relevant. I didn’t realize relevant was a synonym for “shame on you”.
Your knee jerk reactions to anything I post is amusing though.
rockdoll – your condescension is noted. Again, just because I wish to discuss realistic issues instead of frothing at the mouth, it doesn’t mean I’m not angry. I just prefer to channel my feelings into realistic pursuits, not just sitting around venting. I find it sad that you have to be practically wielding a shot gun before you’ve reached an acceptable level of anger, it seems.
I say that you have poor reading comprehension because you’re not critically reading what I say. You see me disagree, and your knee jerks and instead of actually reading what I’m saying, you assume that I’m saying “these guys are swell!”
I don’t know what world it is that you’re living in where “throw people who intentionally murder/abuse/rape children in jail for life with no parole” is considered being pro-abusers. I just don’t think anything I’ve read here offers anything of use. Which I get, you’re just here to vent and make yourselves feel better. That’s fine, it’s not my thing.
April – This is what I mean about people not reading properly. Me asking “how is her bad hair relevant” has turned into “I support this woman” (in the eyes of many, it seems).
How about “zomg, she’s such a horrible mom, let’s turn the curling iron and and shove it up her ass”. Do I fit in now?
I’ll always stand by what I believe too. Seems we’re both strong willed that way. All else being equal, I should defer to you, why?
Honestly, I’ve made it more than clear that I support harsher jail punishment for these criminals, I just happen to believe that things like torture and capital punishment are wrong, no matter who you are or what you’ve done. How that makes me soft on these people, I can’t even begin to fathom.
I’m half certain I could come in here and state that grass is green and a dog has four legs and you’d all tell me that they’re yellow and has seven legs, respectively.

Wow – You just go on and on… Leave it alone already. Why do you keep coming back to argue when we have all made it clear how we feel about you. I for one don’t give a shit about your liberal rant’s any longer. You don’t come here for a healthy debate – You come here to try and sway us all to believe that you are some how suerior to us because we are angry and go off in unorthodox ways. I get it. Now move one. Oh Carys, wise and all knowing… We should bow down and kiss the feet of someone so damn articulate and liberal. Yeah, right. Please move on and don’t address me. I’m bored with you. I don’t find you amusing at all.
November 7th, 2007 at 8:53 pm
April -
I suggest you ignore them, then.
It’s not really that difficult.
C.
November 7th, 2007 at 9:28 pm
But I’m not the only one that feels this way about you. Do we all roll over and let you have all of the say on this site. Hell no. Just quit addressing me.
November 7th, 2007 at 11:07 pm
“Let me”?
That’s cute.

November 8th, 2007 at 3:38 am
Carys, we get it. You feel superior to us. Ok, we get it. Go away.
November 8th, 2007 at 6:39 am
ok well Carys… u are just running ur mouth about things that i believe you stated in an earlier post as irelevant, shut the hell up , u dont know everything, you come on here and think that you can shut peoples opinions up with your “EDUCATED WISDOM” LOL…go rant about ur bullshit somewhere else, opinions are like assholes missy everybodys got one, and yours fuckin stinks….
November 8th, 2007 at 8:54 am
jamienaudrey – She is not educated (and certainly not wise). Follow her link and you’ll find that out. Let’s squash that theory. Most of us (I assume) have education past high school. Not our friends Carys. Yes she is articulate but that has nothing to do with her level of education. I pretty much just think she is full of shit and want nothing more to do with it. I say we let her have her say here and just ignore it. All this bullshit writing she is doing here could be spent putting another shitty book together for the handful of people that may think she’s amazing.
November 8th, 2007 at 9:56 am
i couldnt agree more, i never felt as if she was wise or educated, thats why its in quotations… it just gets to my core that people like her and these nuts on here are able to have kids, she says that prostitution should be legal and that her child is going to be raised as a nudist what… thats crazy.. her morals and her opinions are far fetched…
November 8th, 2007 at 10:02 am
jamienaudrey – Yeah. No kidding. The funny thing is that we ALL have the same feelings about her and she still believes her thinking is what is right. Oh, well. She can live in that place in her mind where she is queen.
November 8th, 2007 at 11:28 am
Jamienaudrey, let me say THANK YOU! LOL!! So true, so true!
November 8th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Okay, I just visited her myspace page.
Did you see under “books” that she had the book “A Child Called It” listed? How ironic; maybe she was taking tips from the author’s mother on how to abuse your child. Sick.
Also, she lists her career as “hairdresser”, bahaha! I wouldn’t let that nasty broad TOUCH my hair from looking at the above picture, you all are right who said her hair looks like it hasn’t seen a comb or a curling iron in ages!
November 9th, 2007 at 9:39 am
Isn’t that weird we were talking about that same book on the other article blog?!? I hate to say it, but it very well may be where she got some of her ideas from. Who knows what went on behind closed doors in that home!
I’m with you guys about her hair…is that hair? She’s nasty and unkempt. I hope that baby doesn’t have to endure a life with her.
November 9th, 2007 at 10:24 am
Just thought that i would make everyone aware that this nappy headed trick has now deleted her myspace account…. i was fortunate enough to send her a message before she did so , i felt the need to tell her instead of using that curling iron to harm her beautiful innocent child she should have attacked that mess of a head with it. i guess she coudnt take the heat ..
November 9th, 2007 at 10:38 am
jamienaudrey – That is too damn funny! Good for you. Did you see the on the news where the reporter went to her house and the babydaddy answered? You could hear a baby crying in the house and the babydaddy wouldn’t let the reporter in or answer about the baby crying or the curling iron incedent. He just kept saying “This don’ concern you. This no concern of yours. Don’ worry ’bout it.”. Then he shut the door on the guy. So my questions is this – Did this hoodrat get out of jail and has the baby back??? Or does daddy have custody??? Are they still together??? WTF??? Where was he when this bitch burned that baby??? And as ghetto as they both seem – you’d think he’d have a “do-rag” for this bitch to cover that skanky nest on her head. She obviously uses the curling iron as a tool for capital punishment and not for the purpose in which it is meant serve.
November 9th, 2007 at 11:44 am
really..i didnt see that….. i agree 100% …. any man who would allow a trick such as herself to harm his child is no man at all….. and her reply that it was an accident, and then saying she was trying to teach the baby a lesson well it looks like the dad needs english lessons, and the hood rat needs to go back to beauty school, instead of learning how to do hair in that alley by the 7-11 ……..
November 10th, 2007 at 5:49 pm
jamienaudrey – Part of the interview is in the link above (NBC2). My local station played more of it. In the one above you can still hear the baby crying.
