Mice and Cockroaches….It’s What’s For Dinner!
Article1, Article2, Article3, Article4
Porfirio Olivas, 39, and his wife, Minerva Lopez, 33, have been arrested for child abuse. The birth vessel pleaded no contest last month to six counts of abuse, and the male animal is currently on trial. Closing arguments are expected today.
Olivas has been charged with 23 counts of child abuse in varying forms, and one count of second-degree sexual assault. He apparently speaks little or no English, because he had to have a translator to give his testimony. I’ll leave that one alone. I have bigger fish to fry in this case.
The 15 year old reported that her paternal DNA donor had forced her to eat cockroaches and a spider, and tried to make her eat a dead mouse that had been caught in a trap. Do you KNOW how many diseases are carried by cockroaches and mice?!? Do you? I think I threw up a little in the back of my mouth when I read that. And the spider? I won’t even go there….those things terrify me. The girl was also beaten with a belt, broomsticks, metal rods, a frying pan, and other objects, and was starved (well, except for the bugs and other vermin, of course).
The mother (who admitted to most of the abuse) also said that she choked her, cut her wrist with a knife, scalded her with hot water, and bit her face. The girl was covered from head to toe with bruises and bloody wounds in varying stages of healing. Did I mention that the gestation device also broke the girl’s kneecap with a baseball bat? And she was allowed to plead no contest?!? WTF? There are other details (yes, even more!) in the linked articles, so I won’t list them all here. I can’t manage to make myself write about any more of the cruelty inflicted on this poor child.
I hope this child gets intensive and extensive counseling, in order to help her deal with the lasting legacy of nightmares her DNA donors have undoubtedly left her with. And I hope that both of them get to participate in their own versions of ‘jailhouse nightmares’ for many years to come.
The good news is that if Olivas is convicted, he faces up to 200 years in prison. Lets hope that he gets it. I hope Minerva’s sentence is just as long.
Thanks to April for the tip.

You know… my ex-”boyfriend” made me eat an earwig once. A fucking earwig. So I can imagine how she felt… it’s not a good feeling…

This story makes me incredibly ill. I cannot imagine how a child could be treated this way. Imagine being forced by your parental units to eat insects, being beaten to unspeakable pain.
They both need termination.

betcha anything mom’s abuse of the girl began when she found the girl had been “sexually active” with the father….blaming the child, of course. seems like lately each story is getting worse than the next.

Another case where I see no reason to waste my tax dollars. Two bullets strategically placed will stop this couple from ever harming another child. I wish I could say we don’t treat kids like that in this country… but, if that was the truth, this site wouldn’t exist, would it.
