W.Va. man accused of forcing child to eat cat feces sandwich
W.Va. man charged with child abuse
Man Arrested For Throwing Boy Into Dryer, Forcing Him To Eat Cat Feces
Joseph Edward Jones, 22, is a bad boyfriend. He has been arrested on child abuse charges for throwing a toy car at his girlfriend’s 4 year old son’s head (causing a cut), duct taping his hands and feet and throwing him in a dryer, and throwing him against a wall, among other atrocities. This all happened (apparently) 2 years ago, but is just now being reported, because the little boy was afraid of this monster. Joe told him he would hurt his mother if he told.
There are several levels of wrongness in this story, and I am not sure everything has come out yet. The way it has been reported, the boy, now six, didn’t tell on the abusive animal until this year, and I am going to guess that this coincided with the breakup of the two quasi-adults involved. It may be a case of ‘revenge reporting’. I’m not saying the abuse didn’t happen, I am just questioning whether it would have EVER come out if the mother had stayed with the a-hole. It just seems a little fishy to me.
Freaky Joe up there also forced the boy to eat a cat feces sandwich (it’s what’s for dinner!), and also admitted to throwing him against the wall several times. These actions (I suppose) could have gone unnoticed by the mother, if she wasn’t home at the time the abuse happened and the child didn’t tell her. BUT……Joe also bit her son on the nose and face (and other body parts) as well. The police report said he left VISIBLE marks. How in blue blazes did the mother NOT notice teeth marks on her child’s face?!?! That seems like a pretty obvious sign of abuse to me. Yup. I think I’d have noticed if it were my child. Ya know, if he had bitten the boy on the shoulder, back, chest – any place that would normally have been covered by clothes – I might be able to dismiss the lack of knowledge of that too. But unless the child wears an iron mask, or a burlap bag over his head like the elephant man – there’s just no hiding a bite to the face, folks.
And what’s even funnier (if you can call any of this funny), is the fact that while Joe admits to abusing the boy, he denies the bites to the face. So……I guess the 4-year old was a contortionist of extreme skill, and bit HIMSELF on the face. Yup. I bet that’s just what happened. My kids do it all the time. Why, just yesterday my 6-year old bit herself on the shoulder blade. Using my 8-year-olds teeth, of course.
Anyway – whether the mother deliberately overlooked the abuse for two years, or she honestly didn’t know (yeah, right), this is just another example of why you never leave your children alone with your two-legged thigh grinders. ‘Boyfriend’ is not synonymous with ‘babysitter’. Eejits!
Thanks for this tip go to….ME! I actually did some research on my own!

Newborn Found Abandoned In Old Dryer:
What is it with kids and dryers lately?
This past week a newborn was found inside of an abandoned clothes dryer in Houston. The baby still had the umbilical cord attached and was found stuffed in a trash bag inside the dryer. Luckily some passerbys heard the baby crying and rescued it from it’s plastic and aluminum prison.
Texas safe haven laws allow a person to give up the baby at a safe haven for up to 60 days.

Woman Found Guilty of Baby’s Clothes Dryer Death:
I originally blogged about Lakeisha Adams here.
In 2005 she was arrested in the death of her 3-month-old son, Jailand. Back then she called police telling them that someone had killed her baby. What she didn’t tell them is that it was her. Later during questioning she admitted to police that she put Jailand in the dryer and turned it on.
Jailand died from blunt force trauma and had burns on his body as well.
This past Saturday Adams was convicted of killing her son. As far as I know she still faces the death penalty and will be sentenced later this month.
Thanks to Stacey for the tip.

Dad accused of turning on clothes dryer while son was inside:
19-year-old Jose Rocha of Mesa, Arizona was arrested on child abuse charges. His family members claim that when his 1-year-old son climbed into the clothes dryer to play the family went to get a camera because they thought it was cute. Rocha may have had other ideas as his family said that he turned it on while the boy was inside. Luckily the boy was not seriously injured.
Rocha and the boy’s mother claim that Rocha turned the dryer with his hand. Like that’s so much better.
I remember getting my ass chewed out by my aunt when I was little and I hid in her dryer. It’s never a good idea no matter how cute it is to let your kids inside of any appliance.
Thanks to Tina for the tip.
