Breeders locked girl in closet for a year
Child Locked In Closet For Over A Year:
Is it me or is locking your kid in a closet the new ‘in’ thing among child abusers?
This time we go to Brownsville, Texas where Leticia and Alfredo Ines were arrested for locking their 12-year-old daughter in a closet with no light. She was ‘allowed’ to go to school but as soon as she got home it was back in the closet.
The closet also contained a bucket that the girl used as a toilet and she was forced to clean the bucket every day.
The birth organism claims that the girl was locked in the closet so she wouldn’t steal food. (Damn this sounds familiar.) However the girl was undernourished and was the size of an 8 or 9 year-old. Leticia doesn’t look like she’s refused a lot of meals in her time.
One of her brothers told the school about what goes on at home.
Granted both Breeders should be sent to prison with no light and no food but how did the school not notice this?
Thanks to JoAnna for the tip?

Yeah, having a little junk in the trunk ain’t nothing, but to keep your child from eating basic food is just plain cruelty. It’s not because there was a lack of food…these people set out to hurt their kids….God help them.

The Sallow Thing, I just loved the remark about Glenn Beck, body piercings, etc. That’s great. And April, I could see all hell breaking loose over a Twinkie. Geeez, locked in a closet? Under the stairs without her wand, is she a wizard in a muggle family or something? I’m very glad she got help now though, hopefully she can lead a better life and continue developing healthily and happily, without too awful much damage.

How often have we seen a fat cow on this site that doesn’t feed their child. WAY TO OFTEN!! My guess is that the little girl helped herself to one of mommies twinkies and all hell broke loose. She doesn’t look like a woman that would care to share her twinkies.
February 4th, 2010 at 1:24 pm
Woo. That was close. 6 comments before the fat cow stuff started. Anyway, as a “fat cow” myself (190lbs) I have to say I don’t understand my fellow “fat cows” starving their children. But then again I don’t understand a lot of things people do. Guyliner, sharpie brows, shorts w/Uggs, being upset about body piercing, grouping marijuana with heroin, not thinking Glenn Beck is a moron. Etc Etc.

190 pounds is a fat cow? Since when? Gain about 40 more pounds then you may be lumped into that category.
Anyhow – being a full figured woman is different than being a fat cow. You become a fat cow when you are a large woman that starves her children.
Sorry if you took it the wrong way. You know I am not here to offend you. I like you.

Twinkies? Ew. Yuck. Swiss Cake Rolls. Now, those are good!
February 4th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
ewwww….. I’m just not a junk foodie. Now if my son helped himself to my grass fed New Zealand cheese I may go a little ape shit.

You take that back about Twinkies.

I don’t think of it as stealing when a kid eats food in their own house. Taking without permission doesn’t equate stealing in this situation. If my daughter goes to the kitchen and grazes on some sliced ham, she was hungry and just didn’t ask, but to me, she did not ‘steal’. So many other parents think of it that way. I don’t.

Just out of curiousity, do your child/ren ask before they eat something? Mine do, not really to ask permission, although things like sweets do require permission in my house, just to make sure I’m not about ready to make dinner or something like that. I can’t think of a time when I said no, except for the sweet stuff, unless we were just about to have a meal.

My son is welcome to help himself to anything in the house but he asks. He has a strange politeness about him. 50% polite / 50% smart ass. What a strange combo.

Loved chatting with you today April!!!

Who loves ya, Denna?? APRIL!!!

We’ve had told the kids to ask before they get food for the same reasons above… I might be in the middle of making dinner. And, I don’t want them to fill up on empty calories. DO they ask? Not usually, but I still don’t chain the fridge, put locks on the cabinets, and make them live in a closet. We simply keep reinforcing the idea that they need to ask first–I wouldn’t want them to walk into someone else’s house and open the fridge/cabinets. yikes.

My daughter always asks for food. Well not really for the food, mainly because she is expecting to be served…lol At 7 years old I have started telling her to get it herself!
I make breakfast lunch and dinner….snacks are on the bottom shelf and drinks are in the fridge…help yourself! My house is her house. My fridge is her fridge. Unless she is overeating to the point where she is getting overweight, or squirting cool whip and chocolate sauce down her gullet…it’s cool by me for her to feel at home in her OWN damn home to get what she wants.
Granted I have stopped her when she is searching for a snack while I’m making dinner for her…but I can’t understand a mother refusing to feed her children! Isn’t it every mother’s root instinct to want to keep her children fed?! I know it’s mine.

Most of the time she does ask. She usually snags a piece of ham or cheese if she doesn’t ask. (Usually if she gets up after we’ve gone to bed.) My kids ask because I tend to plan meals around what’s available in the house. I usually don’t mind if they snack on healthy stuff, though.

Helpful hint: If your child feels like she has to steal food. YOU ARE NOT FEEDING HER ENOUGH!!! So, set the Doritos aside, take your eyes off Wheel of Fortune, lift your lard ass off the couch and feed your child. Kids who are not hungry do not (normally) steal food. The last time I checked, locking a child in a closet doesn’t stop her from getting hungry.
The school could have thought that the girl was small for her age. I can look at my son’s 1st grade class and the kids are all shapes and sizes. My son is skinny and tall – 50th percentile for weight and 90th for height. My nephew eats all the time and he’s a stick. If there were no other marks on the girl, I can see why they didn’t suspect abuse. I’m glad her brother spoke up.

Just had my girl’s one year appointment yesterday. 75th percentile for height, 25th for weight. She’s following her curves steadily. No problem. She’s just thin. And I don’t know she fits all the food she eats in that tiny stomach. It amazes me on a daily basis. Lucky for her she takes after her dad. He’s like close to 5’10″ and like 145lbs. Life will be much easier for her than it was for me. As I mentioned below I’m a “fat cow” and have been since childhood.
February 4th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Again – 190 pounds isn’t a fat cow. Sheesh! The bitch up there in that mug shot is a fat cow. She looks plenty healthy while her child was malnourished. That would constitute as a fat cow.
BTW – I have a little junk in my trunk so I am not talking shit. I will kill myself in the gym for fear of what people think about me. so you can tell where my insecurities lie.

J-Lo??? Just kidding!

Yes, it too frighteningly familiar. And maybe there is a “trend” amongst these breeders. Leticia could, in fact be called a ‘trendsetter’.
Wearing an orange jumpsuit could heighten that status. Just glad the little girl is out of that nightmare now…..
