The original article on this was written up here by Joel back when it happened. I am just letting you know the current status, since one of our readers, Kathryn, sent us an article about it. Thanks for keeping us up to date, Kathryn! The article Kathryn sent us can be found here.
I won’t go into all of the details of this one, because it’s been written about already, and you can use the link to get to it. The pertinent facts are that Mila Petrov and her husband Carlos Beltran were arrested for the murder of their 5-year old daughter Melanie Beltran, in March of 2007. The death blow was caused when the child was beaten for throwing up her dinner. I guess we all know how effective beatings are in making sick children well again, don’t we?
Anyway, the prosecutors had asked for the death penalty, but Mila managed to walk away with only 39 years for the murder of her child. I guess that’s more appropriate than what Carlos got – he only got 20 years. The defense played the “she was an abused child herself” card, and it seems to have worked out for her, since she avoided the electric chair. I won’t even go into what I think of people who blame their abuse of their own kids on what happened to them as children. Most of the regular readers on here know already. It’s a crock of B.S.
So, Carlos will be walking the streets in less than 20 years, and Mila in less than 30, more than likely. But Melanie will not receive a parole from her sentence. She will still be dead. I just hope the DNA donors will be locked up long enough that all of their remaining children will be grown and gone before these two animals are allowed out of their cages.

I would like to thank Bridget for the tip and the title to this story. The title idea was all hers, and I hope she doesn’t mind me using it in my article…it was just too good to pass up.
We have a couple of real winners here folks – an abusive sperm donor, and an idiot for an incubator. Thomas Campo, 43, has been accused of abusing his triplets – 2 boys and a girl. They were only 5 months old when Campo was arrested, and he had allegedly been abusing them since they were born. One of the boys had at least five fractured ribs on the right side, and three on the left. Medical experts have said that the injuries are more consistent with shaking than with squeezing. Another of the babies, also a boy, had bilateral skull fractures and also some rib fractures. The baby girl had injuries to an ear, and a bite mark on her abdomen. So I guess the guy thought biting the baby was a good parenting technique. I would be willing to bet that he abused the kids because they would not stop crying – like most other idiots claim. Well….how’d that work out for you Campo? Oh, right, you’re in jail. So now you don’t have to listen to your babies cry anymore. I guess that worked out all right for you then….not so much for the babies, though.
Now for the gestation device, Zoya Campo. This quote is directly from the article folks: ” “Zoya Campo told me that her husband has a history of anger and acts out towards the babies,” Caggiano wrote.” OK. So the woman knew her bedmate had anger issues, and that he took out these issues on the babies, and yet, she did…….nothing?!? WHAT!?! Now you know where the stupid comes into the title, folks. I think she should be charged with abuse as well, since she knowingly permitted it. She’s as bad as he is. The bite mark on the little girls abdomen occurred in April, right after the babies had come home from the hospital. She was three weeks old. This tells me a couple of things folks. The babies, being triplets, were probably born early, and SMALL. That would be my guess as to why they were three weeks old before being allowed to go home. So in addition to being defenseless, and fragile, these babies ALREADY had another reason to be treated with special care – they were preemies. Instead they were abused by Thomas, and betrayed by Zoya. She said that she had confronted him several times about his abuse of the babies, and he had apologized to her each time. Oh. OK. That makes everything alright, then. Maybe in her world, but certainly not in mine.
Another thing – and this is purely speculation on my part, based on the age of the sperm donor. If he is 43, then I would imagine that she is probably in her late 30’s to early 40’s. She had triplets. This suggests to me that there might have been some sort of medical help to conceive, such as fertility drugs, or in-vitro. Now….if she wanted a child so badly that she was willing to undergo medical treatment in order to conceive, and then willing to go through the entire pregnancy (which I would think was probably difficult, and even dangerous, with triplets), you would think that this idiot would have taken better care of her babies – protected them more.
A final note, then I’ll go away and leave you all to discuss this: Zoya also said that her husband would take the babies (one at a time) into another room and shut the door, not allowing her in. The reason he gave her was that he needed to learn how to comfort them himself, without her help. But she could hear the babies in distress while he was alone with them. I’m sorry folks – but that freakin’ door would have come off the hinges, if it had been my child in there. You don’t take one of my babies ANYWHERE, and then deny me access to them. Not without killing me first.
Oh, and Thomas has been indicted on 37 counts stemming from the abuse of his babies. The mother, as far as I can tell, has not been charged with anything. They should charge her with gross stupidity, for starters, and work their way up.

Tyrone Adair, 38, has been charged in the death of his girlfriend, Tracy Judd, 33, and their daughter Deja Adair, 23 months. He is also being sought in connection with the deaths of a former girlfriend, Amber Weigel, 25, and his daughter with her, Neveah Weigel-Adair, 2. He has not been charged in those deaths yet, though.
Amber and Neveah were found in a car inside the garage of their home, shot to death. Tracy and Deja were found in the trunk of another car, in a different part of town, on the same day. Although the authorities are not releasing the cause of death for Tracy and Deja, is has been reported that it was not related to firearms.
So, this poor excuse for a human being killed two of his children, and both of their mothers in the same day. Wow! He’s been a busy boy, hasn’t he? He is still at large as well, and is being considered armed and extremely dangerous. Nooooo….really?
He was involved in paternity cases with the mothers of both of the babies, and had reportedly not paid any child support to Weigel for several months prior to the murders. The night he killed all of them, he called Judd’s older child to tell her that Tracy and Deja had been in a bad accident, and would not be home that night. An accident?!? Is THAT what they’re calling murder these days? I wonder how he is going to try to characterize the shootings of the other two….spontaneous lead poisoning, maybe?
No motive has been put forth as to the reason for these slayings, but I’m sure some of his defenders will eventually find their way here to tell us what a good guy he is.
In other news, he also had a restraining order against him obtained by another woman he had been stalking and threatening for months. That was back in 2006, though….so he has a history of violent tendencies, and has now ended the lives of four people. I really hope he resists arrest when they find him.
Thanks to Christina for the tip.

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.

killer
Article
Christopher Rains, 22, made a call to 911 a little bit before 4:00 PM on Tuesday. He told the dispatcher that his 9 month old daughter was dead, and that he had shot her. In the head. In front of her mother.
The reason he gave for shooting the baby was “because my ex-girlfriend doesn’t want me anymore”. Baloney. He shot the child to get back at the mother, who had obviously figured out what kind of nutjob he was, and was seeing someone new. He shot that defenseless baby because he is a selfish piece of fecal matter. What kind of parent kills their kid to get even with the mother?!? I am so shocked by this one that my skin is crawling. I can barely think. I know we’ve seen stories on here about parents who kill their kids to get even (I’ve written a couple myself, I think)….so why is this one affecting me so much more than the others? Maybe it’s because the baby was so young. Or because the mother was there, and had to witness her child being executed. Or because after the murdering S.O.B. shot the baby, he turned to his ex and asked if it was “worth it”. Meaning her relationship with the other man, I presume.
The 911 call went on for seven minutes, and by the time it was over, the police had surrounded the house. In cases like this, I will say again, it’s a good thing I’m not a cop. I don’t know that I could refrain from shooting him as he exited the home. Or whether I would even try to resist the urge.
During the 911 call, Rains said, “I’m 22 years old, and I’m going to go to prison for the rest of my life, aren’t I?” My guess is probably so. Too bad on that, too, because in a perfect world, he would get the death penalty. There is a tiny bit of good news in this, though. It seems that at his arraignment, he was attacked by another inmate who was up on drug charges. I hope that inmate is given a commendation for his actions…. or at least a carton of smokes.
Rains is being held on $500,000.00 cash only bond. Good job, judge.
Thanks to April and Sally for the tip.

OK, ok….so it was a closet the child was locked in, but ‘hole’ just fit in better there. Anyway, the hairy hag up there is Heidi L. Duesing-Christensen, who has been arrested and charged with several felonies, including child abuse, neglect, enticement, and reckless endangerment.
It seems that Heidi has allegedly been tying up her five year old daughter, taping her mouth and other body parts (after administering adult doses of benadryl), and then locking the child in a closet. The poor child has also been starved. When she went to live with her father, she only weighed 30 lbs. (bottom 3% of the weight range for her age), and had scars, scabs, and bruises all over her body. Dad was good enough to report the slag who had abused his child, and a two-week investigation ensued, culminating with the arrest of this walking waste of flesh.
The egg donor claimed that she had to restrain the girl because she would throw ‘fits’ and was uncontrollable. She blamed the bruising and scabs on the girl as well, saying the injuries were caused when the child would throw herself against the floor and walls. I wonder how the child could throw herself against ANYTHING if she was tied up all the time. Oh, yeah….she didn’t. My bad. The birth-witch did it.
In addition to all of this, though, I would be remiss if I didn’t share the blame where it is warranted. Only after the girl was sent to live with her father did the child’s teacher mention that back in October she noticed discoloration over 50% of the child’s back, and extensive scabbing. Oh, and the little girl was also one of the few children who would consistently snarf down every morsel at lunch in school. That should have been a red flag right there. Any child who is willing to eat the mystery meat, AND all of the toxic trimmings served at your average public school, is either being starved, or has no taste buds. So lets hear it for the incompetence of the teacher as well. Isn’t there a law that says teachers are REQUIRED to report suspected abuse?
Most amazing of all is the fact that the child’s father says she has exhibited no behavior problems at all since moving in with him. Well, not really so amazing….I tend to think that the only behavior problems going on in the child’s former residence were most likely the ones exhibited by the incubator and her live-in boy-toy.
The hag faces up to 29 years if convicted on all charges, but has been released on $2,000.00 bail. She also has a charge of bail jumping against her, so I am guessing that they will now have to find the witch before they prosecute her. Way to go, judge and justice system.

Thanks for the tip Marci
We don’t know what set Dr. Stephen Wolf off, but we do know he has some history of mental illness.
The 51 year-old father was found on top of his dead 9 year-old son “Tommy”. He told authorities: “He’s got the devil in him and you know it” … when he was taken into custody.
the boy’s mother/wife of Wolf suffered defensive wounds, but not life threatening. She made at least two calls to 911, and ran to a neighbors house and pounded on the door. The neighbor also called 911.
The attack looks to have started in the boy’s bedroom and continued into other parts of the home.

15 year-old Jamar Pinkney Jr confessed to his mother that he had inappropriately touched his 3 year-old half sister. The mother told 37 year-old Jamar Pinkney, Sr.
Sr. came to the house of Jr and his mother. He hit Jr with a gun and ordered him to strip naked. He then marched him to a vacant lot where he forced him to kneel and then he shot and killed him execution style.
I don’t even know what to say here. Tell the truth and rather than help you get executed

This is the story of Burrell E. Mohler Sr. – his four sons – and his brother
The Mohler’s are charged with now face nearly 30 felony counts relating to sex crimes against children, and more charges are anticipated. Three of the men were lay ministers in the Community of Christ church.
This all started with the 26 year old granddaughter of Mohler Sr told authorities she was struggling with suppressed memories of abuse by her grandfather and uncles. The abuse was absurd … elaborate weddings to her uncles, rape, kidnapping… murder!
Since the arrest, five other children/grandchildren have come forward corroborating the stories and elaborating on more horrific events. They say they were told to write down the bad things and put the papers in jars and bury them and the memories would go away. During excavation of the land it is known that jars or pieces of jars were uncovered.
Calls have been pouring into a hot line established including people who are not related to the family who claim to have been abused, raped, held captive. One called alleges she was repeatedly raped and gave birth two babies on two occasions. She said the first baby was buried in the basement floor in a box.
Investigators used a radar device to probe beneath the farmhouse and found an “anomaly” buried a foot below the surface, an item in the shape of a box approximately 20 inches by 30 inches in size, according to court documents.
One call to the police hot line is a woman claiming she was held captive in the Mohler’s basement for two years.
Yet another case of something that went on for years and years and was not discovered.

I originally posted about this story here.
Tessa Zelek, and her husband James Alvin McCart, 23, were arrested for the starvation of their twin sons. Tessa was sentenced to 70 years back in October, but the sperm donor, James, has managed to get a plea deal that resulted in a fifteen year sentence with twelve to be served. What a travesty of justice!
Two boys will have permanent brain damage, and other health worries, but one of the people who caused these problems for them could be walking the streets again in leas than 15 years. Absolutely disgusting!
Thanks to Bridget for the tip.

Michael Dunn
Article1,
Article2
That friendly looking fella up there is firefighter Michael Dunn, 43. This is gonna be one of those stories that will make you say, “Wow! That might actually be funny, if it wasn’t so stupid!”
It seems Mike and the wife were arguing over bills on Halloween, so Mike thought he would help diffuse the situation by putting half a tablet of Lexapro in the little woman’s Earl Grey, to ‘calm her down’. No matter that it had been prescribed to him, and might have helped even more if it had been taken by him. Since it had been prescribed to him, I can only assume that a doctor somewhere had determined that he needed to be on it.
Anyway, Mikey-boy drugged the tea, and sat back to wait for it to kick in. His wife had just returned from trick-or-treating with their 3-year-old son, and had made the hot tea to help warm up, and she shared it with the baby, because he was cold, too. Oops! I’m pretty sure that Lexapro’s not good for a 3-year old in any dosage, let alone half of an adult strength tablet.
Mrs. Dunn became suspicious when she noticed a white powdery substance around the child’s mouth, and she asked her hubby if he had put something in the tea. He tried to tell her that it must just be undissolved sugar. Did I mention that Mrs. Dunn is a police detective? No? Well, she is. I hear those cops are pretty smart…..she didn’t even consider her husband’s version, but instead wiped the child’s mouth, and saved the tissue with the residue. Then she found Mike’s prescription, and he finally admitted what he had done. Like I said…those cops are pretty smart.
Mrs. Dunn then called the (on-duty) police, and had this 18-year veteran of the Fire Department arrested. It seems Mike has had a previous domestic abuse arrest involving his first wife. He threw a bag of laundry at his 5-year old daughter, and threw his wife to the ground; but managed to have the charge dropped after staying out of trouble for seven months. Another fine example of the judicial system’s lenience leading to further domestic incidents.
Mike has now been charged with placing foreign objects in edibles, which carries a max sentence of 18 months. That probably means he’ll get nothing more than probation for this incident.
Both the mother and child were unharmed, but that still does not excuse or mitigate his behavior in any way, IMO. The child drinking the tea might have been unintentional, but his lying about the drug afterward WAS intentional. He knew the child had ingested the drug, and still lied to his wife about it – not knowing what it might do to the boy. That’s reckless endangerment, in my book.
Thanks to jj for this tip.

If Jason Michael Hann had been in jail where he should have been after killing his first child, his second one might still be alive. Hann killed his 6-week-old son in 1999, in Vermont, and then took the dead body on a cross country tour that lasted for 18 months. Sometime during that extended vacation, he got the FBO pregnant again, and they had a baby daughter.
Little Montana was killed in February of 2001, when she was only two months old. The couple repeated their previous actions by driving her body around for several months, before abandoning the body in a trailer in Arkansas. The baby’s body was found in 2002 by a man who had purchased the trailer.
Hann had to be extradited from Kentucky, because he was serving a sentence there for the death of his son, when the daughter’s body was found. The mother of the two dead children is named Krissy. Both the sperm and egg donor have pleaded not guilty in the death of little Montana.
I cannot understand a woman who would stay with a man who had already killed one of her kids. But to then have another child with the killer? Unfrickinbelievable.
Thanks to Sarah for this tip.

The last story I did on here about a child being assaulted for simple defiance involved a slice of pizza. This one is not so silly – or harmless.
In Ntuzuma, South Africa, a man has been charged with murder in the death of his daughter. She reportedly had her tongue pierced, and her father requested that she remove the stud. When the sperm donor learned that she had been wearing the stud to school anyway, he asked why she didn’t obey him, and then used an unplugged electrical cord to beat her to death. I guess the last place she might wear her tongue stud will be to her own funeral. Way to go, Dad! You don’t want to know what part of the killer’s body I think should be pierced…..
After he beat her, he realized she wasn’t moving and took her to a clinic, where she was declared dead. The man later turned himself in to local police, and the crime is still being investigated.
I know we have some readers here from SA….can any of you shed some light on this? Is this some kind of cultural thing, or is this guy just like all the others here and in other places, who think that beating the kid is the best way to gain control? What kind of punishment will he likely receive? I hear the South African jails are pretty horrible places – I hope that’s true, in this case.
Thanks to my faithful friend April for this tip.

Article
here, and
here.
Details are sketchy at this time, but Jeffrey Morris has been arrested for scalding his four month old daughter last weekend. She was burned during her bath on Saturday, but the sperm donor didn’t bother to seek treatment for her until the next day. And how about that look on his face up there? Looks like he’s pouting. I guess getting arrested for child abuse and other charges wasn’t on his agenda, huh?
How hard is it to figure out if the water is too hot to bathe a baby? If you can’t tell by using your own judgment, then please….go buy a freakin’ thermometer!
Although there has been no official word on the infant’s current condition, her burns have been described as ’severe’. Morris is currently being held without bond.
Thanks, April!

40 year-old Allen Lee, of Cleveland, Ohio called 911 around 10:40 pm Saturday to report his 3 year-old son (Marcellius Lee) was dead.
The dispatcher asked how the boy had died and Lee said he went to put he toddler to bed and suddenly the boy hit his had on the scum bag’s shoulder and was unresponsive.
Right… yup that is how it happened.
SURPRISE – an investigation found the boy had been repeatedly struck with both an open hand and a fist. What on earth could a 3 year-old do to provoke such inexcusable violence?
Lee’s criminal history includes domestic violence in 2004 and 2005, robbery in 2001 and cocaine trafficking in 1999.
Poor baby was born to this piece of crap.
