got a little stabby

Man sentenced to 18 years in baby’s stabbing
Dad Accused of Stabbing, Choking His Baby Girl
I Stabbed Her With the Knife: Court Records

I don’t know how this one was overlooked, but I couldn’t find it anywhere on the site, so I am posting about it now. Back in July of 2009, Orlando Figueroa, 35, of Waterbury, Connecticut, Stabbed his 8 month old daughter in the head and back as she lay in her crib. Why, you ask, would a father do this to his baby? Why, to get even with her mother, of course! Orlando suspected his girlfriend, the baby’s mother, of having an affair, and he stabbed the baby to get back at her. WTF? There seems to be a rash of this kind of crap going around lately. Just a few days ago, we had the guy who raped his girlfriend’s baby because he was mad at the mom, and now we have attempted murder for the same reason. My theory is that these animals are such cowards that they pick on the baby, because they know if they went after the mother, she would probably kick their arses. And babies are helpless. Plus, lets face it ladies – what is the one thing that would make us mad enough to kill? Someone hurting our babies. These lowlifes use our love as a weapon against us.

Continuing with Orlando…..after he choked and stabbed the baby, he went to tell a neighbor, and then went to his other apartment to hold his other child at knifepoint until the cops arrived. The other baby was 18 months old. That means the two kids were only ten months apart…I wanna know how his girlfriend had time to find another guy when she was staying so busy with stabby devil-boy? The baby he stabbed was named Keilyn. Fortunately, little Keilyn lived, and the other child, Kiara, was rescued before Orlando could hurt her. Both children were placed with DFCS.

Incidentally, DFCS had opened a case on the family just a week prior to the stabbing when the older child drank gasoline and was severely injured. Oh, and the knife wielding bastard also had a prior record for domestic charges and assault. So…..WHY was he left alone with the baby?

Fast forward to August 24, of this year…..the savage beast pleaded guilty to attempted murder and two counts of risk of injury to a child. He was sentenced to 18 years. The only info I could find about the mother was a statement that the judge put a full protective order in place for her and the children after this incident. If anyone has anything further on this, please share it with us.

Thanks for this story go to me…..again.

Texas Mom Allegedly Tied Toddler in Filthy Room

Straight from the town of Pflugerville, Texas, we have another amazing story of a two year old who was so out of control that her mother had to keep her TIED to the playpen. Veronica Cannon, 40, allegedly told the cops that she has been tying the baby up since last December in order to control her. Lets see, the baby would have been only one year old then…..I’m sorry, but am I the only one who thinks that if a mother has to truss up a 2-year old in order to control her, then she has no business having kids to begin with?

Unfortunately, this egg donor also has three sons, ages 13, 10 and 4, in addition to the little girl. And they were all left at home overnight without adult supervision. Sooooo….she left a little hellion-child that she couldn’t even control with a 13-year old boy, hmmmmm? Is her child more mature than she is? (probably so) Should a child be left to take care of another child that the mother can’t control? (probably not) BTW, just in case there is any confusion (for new readers, or defenders of this witch) I applied liberal amounts of sarcasm to this last paragraph. The child(ren) in this situation are all completely blameless in this clustermuck. The breeder is the only guilty party as far as I am concerned.

Oh, and there was all of the requisite filth, feces and urine, and blah, blah, blah that we usually find in cases like these. I imagine both child and room were probably completely saturated with bodily waste and grime. Ewwwww…..

While Veronica has only been charged with child endangerment, at least CPS has removed the children from her custody. I wonder where the father is?

Thanks for this tip go to Krissy.

I originally posted about this atrocious individual here.
Since I posted her scary visage on the original thread, I will not subject you to the trauma of having to look at her here, too. According to this article, Jewell Hendricks has refused the plea deal being offered by the prosecutor, and the trial is now in the planning stages.

This is the nastybag who smothered one of her twin boys because it would make life easier for her if she only had one to deal with. The infant was only 2 months old at the time of his death. And she decided which twin to kill by choosing a ‘favorite’ between them, and killing the other. There are so many more things I’d like to say about this hag, but I simply don’t have the time right now – and besides, I said most of it in the original article already.

The prosecutor says they will not offer any plea that is less than a murder charge, but Hendricks’ attorney is apparently trying for a lesser plea. Her bottom-feeder is apparently also trying to drum up sympathy for his client with some of the public statements he’s made. Here’s a few examples:

1. “She’s adapted to her surroundings, but she’s still sad when she thinks about her son. ”
Good! She damn well ought to be sad! She should be completely despondent! And the guards should offer her access to sharpened razors and rope in her cell, as well.

2. “A little boy lost his life, and his mother is sitting in jail.”
The child didn’t LOSE his life, the incubator freakin’ TOOK it from him! And she’s exactly where she should be. The only place I can think of that she deserves to be more than jail, is in an unmarked grave.

3. “This is a very sad case.”"
Nooooo….ya think? Good call Einstein!

And if those comments weren’t enough to get your blood boiling, try this one:

Bushell says his client is “doing better every time I see her.” and: “She’s not so scared.”

Gee….that’s entirely too bad. I was hoping she was getting worse by the day and close to death herself. I also hope she has nightmares every time she closes her eyes, and that when she awakens, they come true. I think she SHOULD be scared. That baby must’ve been terrified when his mother was killing him.

The one redeeming act that has occurred thus far is that both DNA donors have given up their parental rights to the remaining twin, and he has been adopted into another family. I hope his life is AMAZING from here on out.

Thanks for this update tip go to Jill. I appreciate all the help we get from our readers!

Haltom City couple arrested after infant dies from injuries

Haltom City dad faces capital murder charge in daughter’s death

Unresponsive 2-month old dies………for any newbies here who may not be familiar with the term “unresponsive”, that word is abusive buttmunch lingo for “I beat my kid to death, and I want you to fix it, please.”

The two faces you see above are Alfonso Contreras Jr., 24, and his babymama, Ashley Nicole Massey, 20. They have been arrested for the death of their 2 month old daughter, Elena. The sperm donor faces a capital murder charge in the death, but the mother may only be charged with injury to a child by omission.. What did she ‘omit’, I wonder……her brain??? her humanity???? More on that later.

The doctors at the hospital who examined the baby said that her injuries were from either being stomped on, or held by the ankles and slammed into a wall. Elena had six skull fractures, a crushed liver, and both kidneys were shattered. How in the devil can anyone do that to ANY baby – especially their own? The baby’s insides were mush, and Jr. was watching her when it happened. Or stomping her. Whichever.

Alfie was babystomping….oops, I meant BABYSITTING the children (they also have a 1 year old, who is in foster care and reportedly fine) while the egg donor worked. He reportedly called her at work on Friday to tell her that Elena would not wake up. He claimed that he patted her on the back (with his foot?!?), and hit her bottom (against a wall?), to try and rouse her. He said she eventually came around. When Massey got home from work at 10:30 pm Sunday night (we’ll get to the time gap later, trust me), Elena was sleeping. Massey said Jr. wanted Elena to sleep in their bed with them because she was not breathing well (I’ve heard that getting the crap stomped out of you can have that effect), and Massey agreed.

Less than 3 hours later Massey noticed that Elena was not breathing, and called 911. The couple then started CPR – but the baby died later at the hospital. I’m betting Jr. is going to try to blame the baby’s horrible injuries on the attempted CPR. Any takers? Anyone? I thought not…..moving on….

Back to the time difference…..Alfie called babymama on Friday night (while she was at work) and the next time frame we hear from her is Sunday evening???? Where does she work? In Alaska? On her back? On the boulevard? All three? My head spins….If I got a call saying my baby would not wake up, I’d have broken the sound barrier to get to her, and she’d have been in the ER quick enough to make you dizzy…..But this incubator waits two days to have the baby seen by the doctor. Where was she for all of that time in between??

I already mentioned capital murder charges for Contreras, and the ‘omission’ charge for the absentee mom – he is being held on $500,000.00 bond, and she’s being held on $250,000.00 bond. Since they reside in a trailer, I don’t see a bail-bondsman taking their home as collateral for the bond, so maybe they’ll actually stay put for a while. I think Massey needs capital charges too, but since I’m not the prosecutor, I probably won’t be asked by anyone in a position to make that happen. Sighhhhh….

Again, I researched, I read, I wrote. Now I am going to be sick…..

Monroe man allegedly beat toddlers with bike tire pump
Monroe man allegedly beat toddlers with bike tire pump

WHY can I not find pictures of these warped animals? If I find one I’ll post it – I’m hoping he gets killed in jail, and I can post a morgue photo or one from his obit. I am so pissed off I can’t see straight right now. This is one of those times when I would happily choke the life out of an individual myself, with a smile on my face and a song in my heart.

Ivan J. Belardo, 37, was arrested for abusing his girlfriend’s babies (twins), and I have a few choice words for her as well, but I’ll get back to that later. Ivan claims he was looking for diapers so he could change the boys, when one of them walked up to him and hit him in the groin with a bicycle tire pump. Ivan claimed that the blow caused his penis to bleed, and he “lost control”. How did he lose control, you ask? He grabbed the tire pump and beat the living hell out of BOTH of the babies! Did I mention that the boys are only 22 months old? I have several things to say about the few facts I’ve already shared, but WAIT! There’s more! Both babies were beaten so severely that they had massive bruising on their groins, and one was bleeding from the penis. And did I mention the prick responsible had been doing heroin all day? No? Yes. He had.

I will go through my list of complaints against this man and my disbelief for his story one line at a time, so bear with me, please.

First he said one of them hit him so hard his cock bled. I sincerely doubt that, since having had six of my own, I have serious doubts that a 22 month old could strike a grown man hard enough to cause bleeding – even if he did use a bicycle pump. Children that age simply don’t have the upper body strength necessary to inflict that type of damage. Unless, of course, the little boy was playing with the pump on the roof of a two story building, and fell off, using Ivan’s dick to break his fall. Even then, any reasonable adult would see that it was an accident, and crawl away to soothe their hurt nads. Ivan, on the other hand, told authorities that the boy ‘looked like he meant to do it’. So, now Ivan can determine intent of a 2 year old from the way he looks? OK. Moving on….

Secondly, one child hits him, and he beats both of them? WHAT? Was he doing preemptive punishment on the innocent one, or did the twins run and he couldn’t tell them apart and so decided to beat both of them to ensure that the right one was punished? Or maybe…..the little boys ganged up on him……. Yeah, I bet that was it. The babies got together, planned the assault, carried it out, and were high-fiving each other when butt-munch came to exact revenge. Because we all know how these little babies can be. Vicious, evil, plotting babies.

Third – I’m not even a man, but I know that hitting a man in the groin will usually completely incapacitate him (especially if you hit him hard enough to make him bleed). I’ve only done that intentionally once in my life, and that was to get a guy off of me. It worked. By the time he recovered enough to walk, he had had time to reconsider his attempted assault, and walked away (and I didn’t even make HIM bleed, just curl up and cry). Smart guy. So the “I lost control” excuse doesn’t work for me either. By the time he recovered enough to go after the boys, he should have had enough time to realize that beating two toddlers with a tire pump was a bad idea. Not to mention that with the degree of pain a ball shot causes, no man should ever want to do that to another man, let alone a child. I hope they at least made this sperm spewer sterile with their shot – if it happened, which as I said already, I doubt sincerely.

Fourth – Did he not realize how hard he was hitting the children – or where? Of course he did! He had to have seen the damage he was doing, but he just kept on. Those babies had to be screaming! I hope to all heaven that somebody in lockup makes him scream louder and longer than he made those babies scream.

Fifth – why in the name of Satan’s underwear was this guy doing heroin when he was supposed to be responsible for two small children? Which leads me to my choice words for the mom….why the freak would any mother in her right mind leave two helpless babies with a known drug user? And no, I don’t believe that she didn’t know about it. If he had been doing it all day that day, then you know he sure as hell had done it before. You don’t go from clean (not a drug user at all) to doing heroin all day long one day. It doesn’t happen.

At least there’s one intelligent person in this whole saga….the judge set bail at $500,000.00. Way to go judge! I hope Ivan’s cellies take $500,000.00 worth of hide off his arse while he’s in there, too. I think the guy needs to have his groin beat until his thing falls off, and the woman should have the crap slapped out of her too. I can’t write any more.

Thanks go to me for this one too. I found, it I read it, I wrote it.

concentration camp warden

The sorry looking individual you see above is Courtney Tressler. This 25-year old birth vessel from Indiana starved her four year old son to death. But that’s not even the worst of it….her son was already physically and mentally handicapped from a beating given to him by his father when he was 2 months old. Yes, my friends, the beating by the father did not kill the baby, and it took the little witch 4 more years to finish the job. She chose one of the most painful ways to kill him, too. Starvation is a horrible way to die.

Her son, Payton Ettinger, weighed only 12 pounds when he died. When the boy was a year old, he weighed more than 16 pounds. You wouldn’t think that losing a pound a year was all that much of a loss, but you have to remember that this child should have grown more than a foot in height during those same three years. I have a 4 year old son. He weighs almost 40 pounds. He’s not fat, and he’s not particularly tall. He’s an average sized 4 year old. I can’t even imagine what he would look like if he weighed only one third of his current weight – nor do I want to imagine it. I would, however, like to see what Courtney would look like at one third of HER current weight. I hope she finds out what starvation feels like when she gets to the girls dorm at Camp Incarceration. I hope that the only thing the boss of the ward allows her to eat while she’s there is….well, you know what women like….

So, the sperm donor beat this poor child so badly that he’s been confined to a crib since then (for which he’s only serving 5 years, I think), and then the egg donor denies him one of the basic necessities of life. Now he’s dead.

The pathologist found that Payton had no food in his stomach or intestines when he died. His skin was stretched so tightly over his face that you could see the bones underneath. He had no fat on his body, and was suffering from “profound malnutrition”. I hear that’ll happen when you don’t feed your kid for a while – or ever. As shown in the lovely photo provided by law enforcement, SHE doesn’t appear to have missed many meals. Let’s hope that changes real soon.

Cuntney has already trotted out a few excuses for why her son hadn’t been to a doctor. Among those reasons are that she could not afford to take him to the doctor (but she took herself TWO times during the week her son starved to death). She also said she had applied for medicaid for her son TWICE, but the police say that’s a lie too.

Did I mention that this worthless excuse for a human has also remarried? The husband hasn’t been charged with anything yet, but I sincerely hope that changes. If he was living in the same house he should have seen what bad shape the child was in and reported the abuse. Instead, he is defending his coochie, saying that everybody is out to get his wife, and that she has done nothing wrong. Ummmmm……yeeeeeeah …….except starve her son to death. That’s all. Greg Tressler says his wife is completely innocent of all charges, and that she has been ‘traumatized’ by the allegations that she killed her son. Traumatized? TRAUMATIZED?!?! What the devil did she think her son was feeling as he slowly starved to death? Warm fuzzy thoughts? He’s a damn sight more traumatized than that witch will likely ever be. You can’t get more traumatized than DEAD. Greg also claims that this whole thing is just some kind of big misunderstanding. Hey, Greg…..a misunderstanding is when you buy Iceberg lettuce when your wife asked for romaine. Or when you ask for a Bud, but your wife hears spud, and brings you a bag of chips. Letting a four year old child die of starvation is not a misunderstanding – it is murder. I understand completely. The skanky ho was tired of the drain on her time and energy, and decided to get rid of him. I hope as part of her sentence, she has to have her ovaries removed. Without anesthetic.

Today I am going to write up two incidents, completely unrelated except for the nature of the crime, in one story. I’m not sure I would be able to write up one and then write up the other separately, without losing my nerve. Both involve the rape of children which, sadly, seems to be a popular trend these days. So here goes….

Alleged baby raper

Newark police search for man in connection with fatal beating, sex assault of 7-month-old girl
Newark man is accused of fatal beating, sex assault of 7-month-old girl

Our first story is just about as bad as it can get. This assault happened at the beginning of July, so I’m not sure how we missed it here, but none of thses names came up on a search I did, and I decided to go ahead with it. In Newark, New Jersey, Oquan Blake (pictured above, with a smirk on his face), AKA Samaad Blake, has been arrested for killing his girlfriend’s 7-month old daughter. He raped her to death. No the listed age is not a typo. She was not 7 years old – she was seven MONTHS old. Who in the blue blazes looks at an infant as says to himself, “Man, that girl sure looks good in that diaper! I gotta get me somma that…”? In what remote corner of the universe might that even PASS as a good idea?!?

Anyway, apparently Oquan was a bit peeved that his girlfriend, whose name has not been released, was going to some sort of event in Manhattan, and was leaving little Dalaysia Rhymer at home. He got even more ticked when the grandmother had to go to the ER for back pain, leaving him alone with the baby. THEN he found out that his girlfriend had skipped the planned event anyway, and was, instead, spending the day with a friend. Apparently that was the last straw for Blake. His girlfriend was leaving a baby that was not his with him while going off and lying to him about her whereabouts. He called her and told her that she needed to come home, because Dalaysia was ‘getting on his nerves’.

Apparently the mom didn’t arrive quickly enough, and Blake flew into a rage. He’d show her a thing or two. Now….what to do? How could he get even with the mother, cause her the most grief? He thinks to himself, “I know, I’ll screw around on her! I’ll find someone else to have sex with.”

I guess after going through his little black book and coming up empty, he thought, “Hey, I got a girl right here!” And he raped his girlfriend’s baby. When the mother finally arrived at the house, the infant was unresponsive. She was taken to the hospital, where she was found to have a fractured skull, ruptured spleen, a bruised spine, broken ribs, and lacerated liver. Just all of the injuries one might expect to find when an adult sexual organ is introduced into an infant’s genital area. It took me a while to begin this one, because after reading about it I was sick to my stomach and crying so hard I couldn’t see to type. The baby was put on life support at the hospital, but died two days later.

Then, SURPRISE! the animal responsible for the assault promptly disappeared. He was apprehended three days after the baby died, and his bail was set at 2 million dollars. Finally! Someone in this situation who was using their head as something other than a hat rack. Way to go judge!

So many people failed this child…..the mother left her with a man she had only been dating three months, the grandmother, who admitted that she didn’t like the guy anyway, up and left them home alone, and the rapist…well, you know what I think about him….. This animal had previous arrests for drug and weapons charges, and had only recently been released from jail. What kind of mother leaves her infant daughter alone with a convicted felon she has only known for three months? Usually, I don’t cast aspersion on the mothers of dead children, but this was as much her fault as anyone’s. She handed her child to a criminal and left to visit a friend. I need to go puke again now.

I like little girls, and now I'm dead.

12-year-old girl reports sexual assault via Facebook
Girl uses iPod and Facebook to report assault as it happened
The second ‘Friday Freak’ had a bit of a happier ending, if you can find any part of child sexual assault ‘happy’. It involves another brain dead mother, and this time, an EX-boyfriend. Yup, the idiot mom left her 12 year old daughter at home with her ex-boyfriend, Raymond Ernest Cesmat, 42, – while she went to spend the evening with her NEW penis. Nice.

Raymond entered the child’s room , more than once. The first time he walked in naked and tried to remove her pants, but she managed to fight him off. She then got her iPod (Cesmat had taken her phone earlier – I wonder why?), and went on facebook to ask a friend to come help her. The friend was Cesmat’s OWN daughter. Cesmat then re-entered the room and sexually assaulted the girl. She kicked and scratched him until he left and then she pushed a piece of furniture in front of the door and escaped through a window to go for help.

When the cops arrived the bloodied man denied assaulting the girl, saying she had run away, and he got injured in the search for her. Unfortunately for him, cops found blood all over the girl’s room. Where did she run away to? Her freakin’ closet? How did he injure himself in the search? Oh, yeah, I know, he injured himself when he fell on the girl’s fingernails while he was assaulting her. How clumsy of him.

The happy ending part is that this loser did society a favor when he hanged himself in jail. No taxpayer dollars will be wasted on a trial or long-term incarceration for this animal. Good riddance, I say. Now, if we could just convince Oquan Blake to perform the same public service Cesmat did, I could call it a day, folks. And somebody, please, slap some sense into the mother of this 12 year old!

I wonder how many people will write in to this one, defending one or both of the rapists?

As far as I know, no tips have been sent in on either of these stories, so credit goes to me, again.

Dad busted for child abuse again

Thanks for both the tip and the title for this story go to April. Again. April’s a great research assistant!

On to the story…..It seems Shane Bock is not very bright. He apparently didn’t learn anything from his first arrest for child abuse and neglect, because he has repeated the cycle. So , in addition to being a loser abuser, he is also a repeat offender. And all in less than a year, folks! He may not be very smart, but at least he’s tenacious, huh?

Shane, 26, lives in Salt Lake City – apparently with a 3-year old son and an 8-month old daughter. The usual filth, feces, and general nastiness were present, along with a bong (and some maryjane to fill it) on the end table next to the couch.

Police were called by a neighbor when the little boy was seen throwing some kind of powder out the door, and eating some of it as well. No word yet on what the powder was….. but if there was pot within reach of the children, it wouldn’t surprise me if there were worse drugs present as well. The boy was running around naked while the sperm donor slept inside, and police had to knock for several minutes before Bock answered the door. When police entered the domicile, they found it “unfit for children”. There was very little edible food since most of it was strewn over the floor, along with piles of garbage.

The preceding arrest occurred in January, when the living conditions were just as bad….maybe worse. When authorities arrived that time (for a noise complaint), the boy was found locked in a room naked from the waist down and covered in his own waste. Police also found feces (old and new) on the wall, floor, door and television. Wow….I know most programs these days are pretty crappy, but to have to look at actual CRAP while watching TV is a bit much, dontcha think? Not to mention the odor…… I imagine the house smelled pretty putrid.

I have a couple of questions – maybe some of our readers could answer them for me? First, if the house was that nasty, how in the devil did they manage to keep from retching long enough to create even ONE child, let alone two? Second, if the first arrest happened in January, and the baby girl is 8 months old now – was she brought home from the hospital to such filth, or was the egg donor still gestating when the first arrest occurred? And third…..WHY IN BLUE BLAZES WAS THE FEMALE BREEDER NOT ARRESTED TOO?????? If she was living in the house, then she is as guilty of neglect as Shane is.

This story has so many levels of f-ed up I’ve lost count. The parents (both of them) are sorry. The CPS did not follow up properly (obviously), the children were basically left to fend for themselves in filth while the ‘father’ slept off his latest high, and the ‘mother’ was not even home. Where was she? Out getting more bong filler?

I am sick to my stomach now – just reading and writing about that filth has made me ill.

Police: Father beat toddler to death when she wouldn’t eat
Tacoma father accused of killing 2-year-old daughter

I can’t find a name or a picture of the murderer in this story, since both have conveniently been left out of the news reports, but I thought this one was worth posting anyway. If any of our readers find a name for the child or the father, please share it with us……

In Tacoma, Washington, a 23 month old girl has lost her life because her father could not control his temper. The unidentified 25 year old man has been arrested and his charges are expected to be upgraded from assault to murder two since the baby died.

Wednesday night the the man (and I use that term loosely) was taking care of his two children while his wife worked. He had reportedly just recently started taking care of them, and it looks like he should have just hired a sitter instead. Or gone to work himself, so the mother could stay home. According to authorities, the sperm donor got irritated because his youngest child refused to eat. So he shook her violently and hit her repeatedly. Yeah….we all know that beating a child is the best way to get them to eat. Just last night, I punched my kid in the head for refusing to drink his milk. No…not really. When he decided he didn’t want his milk, I simply put it in the fridge until later, telling him he couldn’t have anything else to drink until he finished that one. I’m pretty sure the same thing could have been done with the baby girl’s plate of food. But, no, the father thought it would be much more effective to beat the crap out of her. One thing’s for sure – the little girl will never refuse food again, or eat any, for that matter….because she’s dead. A selfish prick couldn’t control his animal impulses, and now a sweet child is dead.

To make matters worse, if that’s possible, there was a protective order against the man already in place. Why in blue blazes did the mother leave the kids with him to begin with?!?! She obviously KNEW he was dangerous, or there would not have been a protective order. Last time I checked, kids didn’t go get those kind of things put in place – it takes an adult to have one filed. This was a massive fail all the way around. The father and mother should both be charged, and the courts need to review their policies and procedures. This makes me sick!

Thanks to Morrigan for this tip.

Dr. Death and her assistant in homicide...

Pediatrician Charged In Connection With Child’s Death
Pediatrician, Husband Indicted In Child’s Death
Mt. Juliet doctor charged with abusing, killing 4-year-old daughter

From the city of Mt. Juliet in the great state of Tennessee: Dr. Deborah Mark, 39, has been charged with first degree murder and child abuse in the death of her four year old adopted daughter. Her husband, Steven Mark, 47, has been charged with only child abuse and failure to protect the child. I’ll have more to say about that later…..

It seems the Marks adopted little Kairissa this past April. And apparently the beatings began almost immediately, since the child was covered from head to toe in bruises at the time of her death. Authorities believe the injuries were caused by being beaten with objects as well as by hand. I guess the good doctor felt she couldn’t inflict enough damage with just her bare hands, so she found interesting household objects to aid her in her brutal beatings. Oh, yeah…..did I mention that she is a PEDIATRIC doctor? Yes, boys and girls, that’s right….she was responsible for the health and well being of other people’s children, and she still managed to find time to KILL her own. What a multi-tasker, huh? It seems she is multi-talented in that she is able to both kill and heal with the same amount of efficiency. What an achievement!

The Marks also have an 8-year old biological daughter who is now in state custody, and both of the (alleged) killers have already made bail. I guess the judge set that bail a bit low. I think they should have been remanded until trial, but since I am neither judge nor lawyer in this case, nobody asked me for advice. Pity.

Authorities were called to the Mark’s home on July 1, for the ever-popular ‘unresponsive child’ report. Kairissa was taken by ambulance to a local hospital where she was airlifted to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. She died from her injuries the next day. You would think, as a pediatrician, the accused female would have noticed the signs of abuse and reported it. Aren’t doctors REQUIRED to report suspected abuse in Tennessee? Oh, yeah, she’s the one who did it. Silly me! OF COURSE she wouldn’t report herself! On the up side (if there can BE an up side to something this horrible), at least the doctor cannot use the excuse we hear so often from parents who beat their children to death: “But, I didn’t KNOW she was hurt that bad!” Because as a doctor, she was sure as hell trained to notice life-threatening injuries to children. If she can’t distinguish between superficial and deadly injuries, then she had no business being a pediatric doctor, anyway. I hope they use that little factoid to help nail her to the wall in court.

Since I promised you more on the husband, I will go ahead and make good on that promise now……I think it is disgusting that he is being charged with such minor offenses. Failure to protect? Child abuse? Steve’s as much a murderer as Debbie is. I usually don’t advocate spousal abuse, but I think in this case he might have been able to walk from those charges if he beat the snot out of the witch in order to protect HIS KID! Just sayin’…..if I had been in his shoes, I might be up on murder charges for KILLING the abusive spouse…..but that’s just me. I bet he’s gonna use the “I was afraid of my wife” defense to try and absolve himself of guilt. Otherwise known as the “I’m a pussy” defense. Looking at their pictures though…he is kind of a scrawny bastard – maybe she WAS kicking his arse on a regular basis. It could happen. But still no excuse in my book; not any more of an excuse than it would be for a woman if the roles were reversed. Parents should protect their children, at the cost of their own lives if need be. You’d have to kill me in order to even have a CHANCE at one of my babies. And that’s a fact.

There are more details in the linked articles, but I am already so pissed about this case, I need to just go ahead and end my rant. Read the links if you dare….I need to go love on my babies now, and tell them what wonderful blessings they are to me.

Thanks go to April for the tip on this story. I have been so busy of late that I have not had time to look for news articles to report on, so she helps me out with that. April is AWESOME!
