My daddy ate my eyes out
Father Accused Of Eating Child’s Eyes Out:
While allegedly high on PCP 34-year-old Angelo Mendoza of Bakersfield, California bit out the eye of his 4-year-son Angelo Jr. and ate it. Mendoza also bit his son’s other eye to the point of where it is now inoperable. Doctors said that the left aye and the muscle surrounding it were completely gone.
Mendoza is being held on $1M bail.
Why why why do people still insist on doing drugs when they have kids? Since I grew out of using drugs I guess I’ll never understand.
Thanks to Bridget for the tip.

@ Everyone here. They cannot do eye transplants – - yet. The technology is no there. The eyes and the nerves connecting the eyes to the brain are way too complicated.
Eye Transplants.

@Sam:
Shit. No eye transplants.
Well, let’s go with that ancient dull grapefruit spoon someone above suggested. Ah, jade suggested it. Good idea. I like it.
And leaving him with a hungry pitt bull? Come on… that’s too cruel… to the DOG.
However, for slow cruel deaths, probably burying him in the hot desert up to his neck, then pouring honey all over his head, and then stirring up a few nearby fire ant mounds… that might work.
*SIGH*
Lord, please forgive me. I know vengence is Thine, and no matter what any of us may come up with, if this man does not repent of his drug use AND what he did to his son, and ask Your forgiveness, he will suffer unheard of torture in Hell.
And Lord, please forgive me for wishing he doesn’t repent.
Ok, this is probably another reason I should stop reading this website: it’s giving me horrifically un-Christian vengeful thoughts.
That, and I’m also finding that I’m starting to try to scoop everyone else by finding and sending a story to Trench before everyone else does.
Yeah, ok, this is not good.

I have read horrible ones myself and nothing comes close to being as disturbing as this one, I never in my wildest thought I would hear something like this.
The sick part about it I bet this fucker doesn’t even get life or the death sentence because the crime does not fall under the guidelines of a life or death sentence. AND because he is a prick he will get protective custody because prison justice will kill him and we have to protect fuckers like this because of the stupid ass constitution we built our crooked country on! Sorry to all political but this is horrible and truly unfair to this poor child who is the only victim in this case. My sone is 4 and all I keep thinking about is something like that happening to him, he would remember it for the rest of his poor life! I would glady kill this asshole for him. PCP, GREAT drug

I like the ants, Sith. Maybe apply the honey on his head by slamming a beehive on top of it like a hat? Just a thought. A few pissed off bees to add to the mix. And set a Grizzly bear loose on his sorry ass, after the ants have had their turn. Or maybe let a couple of buzzards peck his eyes out, first. Be sure and tape his eyes open, so he will be able to see the birds, and fully appreciate what is about to happen to him. And dig a tunnel into the dirt, down to his private parts, and put a little honey there as well.
I’m in a really pissy mood tonight. Can anyone tell? And these child abusing assholes are the perfect target for my pissiness. I hate them. (Lord forgive me for swearing, hating, and wanting these people to hurt) They sicken me. (And forgive me for that, too.)
Good to see you back, Sith. I missed you. And I hope he doesn’t repent, either. (Could you forgive me for that, too, Lord?) All I can say, Sith, is it’s a good thing we are saved by grace, and not by our own works – otherwise, I might be way in the hole on my dues, just from this site alone.
May 19th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
Just because we can’t do eye transplants yet, doesn’t mean that they won’t happen in this child’s lifetime. And if they do, I really hope that this child is the first in line.
There is nothing that can compare to this, in my mind. It’s never far from my mind.
May 20th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
O-M-G!!! Why the heck anyone would want to take that drug is beyond me. That poor little boy. I swear, the innocent always have to suffer because of some idiot, it’s not fair.
May 20th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
Oh good GOD! According to this article, the sperm donor’s BROTHER is trying to get custody of the kid. http://www.kget.com/news/local/story/Background-Check-of-Mendoza-Family/2foBF551rEeFYAz3g-rA-w.cspx
He SAYS its because he wants to take care of the boy and show him his family still loves him. More likely he’s hoping to get his hands on the donation money that’s sure to come pouring in to support this little boy.
You cannot tell me this UNCLE was unaware of his brother’s drug problem or how that baby was being abused. Another article says there was plenty of evidence of past child abuse and drug use in the home. Yet “Uncle” did NOTHING? And now he wants a shot at further f-ing up the kid?
Just take the child away from ALL of them and place him with some loving family as far from Bakersfield as they can get him.

@Angel: thanks.
I like all your ideas, too, and also, Lord please forgive me for enjoying the ideas of torturing this person. 
I guess I would want to ensure he’s not allergic to bee stings first. Anaphalactic shock might be too quick a death… oh, crap, Lord forgive me.
According to Dr. James Dobson, who did an interview with Ted Bundy, he believes Bundy had a genuine conversion to Christianity. Bundy was even looking forward to being put to death so it would give closure to the families of his victims.
If Bundy could repent and turn to God, even this guy can. But I hope that doesn’t mean he ever gets any visits with his son, unless they are STRICTLY SUPERVISED, and only if the son actually wants the visit. I don’t think he should ever get custody of his son again.
@Trench: Sorry, this part is off topic:
Uhm, guys, I think I’m done. Last night I went a little nuts and just kept clicking on link after link to horrific stories on this website. I was getting pretty upset, and making myself nauseated.
I hadn’t been here in a few weeks, and it was almost like I’d “fallen off the wagon.”
This website is like driving past several car wrecks on the highway: you don’t want to be a looky-loo, but you still can’t resist turning your head. You want to know what happens, if the parents get punished, if the child survived and is ok now, etc., etc.
If you guys want to contact me, I know one of you already has my email address, and of course Trench does. [Trench, do you mind being the gateway? Else, I'll figure out another way to hook up with the non-trolls...]
@Sam: I’m interested to know what finally happens, if Maliki’s boyfriend is convicted. Godspeed, and may you eventually find love.
May 20th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
@Angel: Forgot. Thanks for the well wishes at my return, lol. Sorry it’s a very brief return.
@Trench: I don’t know how you do this day in, day out. Dude, you are a very strong person. I have a great deal of respect for you. I don’t sense that you enjoy the horror that you are exposed to… I sense that you feel it needs to be known about, to be reported and not covered up.
I wish you good luck in your job maintaining this site, and hope you don’t burn out. I noticed there seems to have been a few different people maintaining this site… I imagine the turnaround is due to burning out on this subject.
May 20th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
Sit, is it OK if I get your e-mail from Trench?
May 20th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
OOPS! I meant Sith…..

P.S. I love Focus on the Family
May 21st, 2009 at 2:54 am
Angel, it is definitely ok.
Ditto for any of the rest of you that Trench says are NOT trolls. 
LIsa, yeah, I like Focus on the Family too.

@ SithSnoopy
Sith there is evil in the world and you shouldn’t let it get to you. People do all kinds of horrible things to each other. I think we are still evolving into humans. We as a race are not quite there yet. It would seem that some of us are still more animal than human. Animals tear each other apart and they don’t think twice about it.
My E Mail address at yahoo.com is
oronyus@yahoo.com
Anybody can write me there and I will let you know the outcome of the trial.
May 21st, 2009 at 4:43 pm
I live here where the story took place. It haunts us all. This community is sick and saddened by poor Angel’s story. Our local board of supervisors is getting involved and so is a state senator. I see and deal with a lot that kids go through here because I am in education. I cried my eyes out over this one.
May 22nd, 2009 at 9:01 am
LIsa:
My hubby has bought several of the Focus on the Family parenting videos and other parenting books and such. We watch them (and read them) and try to constantly improve our abilities in that department. I highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in the care and upbringing of children. They have been an immense help to our family…..
May 22nd, 2009 at 12:07 pm
I purchased Dr. Dobson’s book on raising a strong willed child. My son may not be a strong willed child — he may just be a normal amount of stubborn, and since he’s my first, I don’t know any better, lol. However, considering his parents (hee-hee), I’m betting he’s going to be very stubborn.
Haven’t read Dr. Dobson’s book yet.
Thanks for the info that there’s also videos. Didn’t know that. [And I listen to Dr. Dobson on the radio fairly often.]
– SithSnoopy, who isn’t really here. Just had to respond re: Dobson. Am now going to run away before I stupidly look at the latest horrific story.
Although, while I’m here, I saw this thing on 20/20 or something last night about these “Christian” ministers in South Africa who do exorcisms on LITTLE KIDS that their parents have been convinced are witches. Why are they convinced they are witches? The ministers tell them they are. The ministers charge for the exorcisms, and do disturbing, painful things to the children. The ministers at one point pull out flesh that contains whatever (demon, sorcery, whatever) made the child a witch. At least this part isn’t really pulling flesh out… it’s clearly faked. It was something the minister already had in his hand.
But as part of the process, candle wax is dropped on the child’s stomach while he/she is held down. Other things are done.
The parents are encouraged to believe that the reason there is illness or misfortune in their family is their witch-children.
The Government can’t do too much about it because many high-up people are in those churches. And the Government, scarily, says that a child is a witch if they have a bloated belly. And something else, can’t remember. But for crying out loud, a malnourished child will have a bloated belly.
Many of these children end up being abandoned. If a child isn’t wanted in the first place, the parents will call it a witch in order to justify getting rid of it.
There was this Christian (Catholic?) fellow who is down there trying to stop all of this insanity, trying to rescue the children. He and the 20/20 reporters confronted the “ministers”, but the ministers stuck to their story.
At one point, the fellow broke down crying while talking to one of the children.
These children all had this hollow look in their faces. They were definitely suffering from post-traumatic stress.
As a Christian, I am horrified by what these so-called ministers are doing to these children. Jesus would NOT agree with what they were doing to these little innocent, helpless children. I mean, some where as young as 3! Maybe younger! How is a 3 year old a witch?!?
These children must think now that Jesus was for torturing children, thanks to these evil greedy ministers. The psychological damage from having their parents approve/request the exorcisms, and/or being abandoned, and/or being told that God said they needed to be tortured…
The abandoned children end up living on the streets. The girls end up prostitutes, and end up being teenagers with babies who leave their babies on the side of the road while they take care of business. [The way it was said, I assumed they came back to their children. They just weren't going to perform the sex act in front of them. Heh, unlike some parents that end up being talked about here.]
Ok… ok… must stop now. Going away again. Really.
Yeah, I don’t believe me, either.
May 22nd, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Sith,
I’m an American who’s lived in South Africa for six years. I’ve seen nothing on these so called Christian ministers exorcising children, although many of the people still believe in witches (most of them old women) and tend to burn their shacks down.
Natashja, you’re South African. Are you aware of these circumstances?
May 22nd, 2009 at 1:23 pm
I’ll continue to read the comments that you don’t post while you’re not here, Sith. And I hope you will enjoy not reading the ones I write in response to the ones you don’t post while you are not here. Is everyone sufficiently confused now? I know I am.
The video series we are currently watching by Mr. Dobson is one on discipline. Very informative. Even the kids enjoy watching it.
May 22nd, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Thats horrible Sith. And I agree, anyone who harms a child in the name of Christ sure doesnt know the same Christ I do because he would not go for that!!

@Southern Lady:
I think they may have mentioned that this is starting to happen in the Congo, too.
It’s happening in Nigeria. My apologies for my geography issues if Nigeria isn’t considered South Africa.
I wasn’t here. You didn’t see me.

Oh, it was an ABC story by Dan Harris, on Nightline. Not 20/20.
May 22nd, 2009 at 5:42 pm
I understand. Yeah, Nigeria is a country on the western cape of Africa, whereas South Africa is at the bottom of the continent. I’m sure you remember this country, where most of the diamonds, gold, titanium come from, and where apartheid died 15 years ago. So I was worried. Thank you for getting back with me.
May 22nd, 2009 at 7:51 pm
Hi, Sith and Sam! Good to not see you
That is awful what is happening to those children in Nigeria. How sad.
May 25th, 2009 at 2:14 am
Hi SithSnoopy
@ Southern Lady, No hun I have never heard of this! I am flabbergasted. I know in SA there are Sangomas that kill children to use in muti sacrifices etc but this doesnt happen very often and the majority of South-Africans are civilised people who do not practise witchcraft nor believe in it. I admit that alot of our black citizens do believe in their ancestors and also the african rituals but this is slowly but surely dieing out as they are getting for Europeanized (word??) I am also yet to hear that any Anglican / Catholic priest in SA performed an exorcism on anyone let alone kids. By the way, there is alot of South Africans that are afraid of the Nigerians – they are ruthless people and those that you get here are deeply involved with Syndicates and Child Prostitution / Trafficking as well as Drug Trafficking and we stay FAR AWAY from them so I am not very surprised to hear what is happening in Nigeria. I tend not to mix with anyone that has a Nigerian contact and I will run I mile if I had to come face to face with one (I kid you not). You must understand that some of these african countries are still very much in the dark ages and practises abominable rituals. They have not evolved into human beings yet.

http://www.bakersfield.com/news_alerts/x140305256/Blinded-boy-case-Police-found-drug-residue-in-babys-crib-in-2006
In brief, an idiot friend of the evil sperm donor is claiming dad suffered from schizophrenia and went off his meds and THAT’s why he attacked the little boy. And the uncle (brother of sperm donor) IS seeking custody, but apparently has no criminal record, so maybe his heart IS in the right place. I can only hope so. This little boy deserves a break – and a safe, loving family – as much as any child we’ve ever seen on this blog.
May 26th, 2009 at 7:27 am
WOW! I am SPEECHLESS! I wonder where this poor childs mother was and why the hell he was left with this monster of a human being!? so sad
