Man Charged With Murder Of 3-Week-Old Daughter:
19-year-old Jorge Galvez of Cicero, Illinois is accused of throwing his 3-week-old daughter, Liliana Galvez, at her crib during a fight with the baby mama. Rather than call for help both Breeders allegedly went to sleep for six hours then Galvez called his mother who told him to call paramedics.
She was pronounced dead at the scene of blunt force trauma.
Thanks to Kathryn for the tip.

“She Went Through Hell.” Child Brutally Beaten in Belleville:
Beating victim’s mother is out of jail, but ordered to stay away from hospitalized daughter in critical condition:
24 year old Kraig Monroe (really? With a K?) of Belleville, Illinois has been arrested for allegedly beating his girlfriend’s 2-year-old daughter so bad that she needed to have part of her intestine removed.
Monroe is said to have struck the girl repeatedly in the stomach while she sat in an Elmo chair because she wouldn’t stop crying. I think there needs to be a study done to show why troglodytes like this think that it’s logical that striking a child would stop them from crying. And by study I main that monkeys should get to poke their brains with rusty garden shears while they’re fully conscious. But I digress.
Monroe was babysitting the girl in his trailer while the mother was at work. I’m beginning to notice a pattern. Doctors also say that the girl had a broken arm that was left untreated. In case that makes you wonder yes the mother has been charged as well and has been ordered to stay away from her daughter.
Thanks to Marcy for the tip.

I think I may have posted this story before but since I am at ‘The Sweatshop’ I can’t check. (Update: Original post)
Anyway 28-year-old Katie Stockton of Rockton, Illinois was arrested back in August for allegedly abandoning an infant known as Baby Crystal in the snow in December of 2004. How sad is it that this may be a repat but there have been so many stores like this I can’t remember if it is or not.
Now police are saying that two infant skeletons that were found in an impounded car trunk that was registered in her name were likely babies that she delivered.
The babies are believed to be female and not twins.
Again, as repulsive as I find some of the alternatives to childbirth there are alternatives out there.
But for alleged serial abandoners like this I recommend a large sewing needle and some industrial strength thread.
Thanks to snoopygirl for the tip.

Oops….I meant Christina Sykora. She’s 38 years old. I think my spelling fits her better….
This isn’t your regular PBB story, because the abuser is not the parent of the victim, but she does have a child of her own. She lost custody of her own child due to drug charges. Or something. That’s not what this is about though. This is about the abuse she inflicted on a female relative.
Apparently a 7-year old female relative of Sykora was staying with the psycho’s parents. There was a 68 year old handyman, Sabino Martinez, who propositioned Coochie Psycho, but she wasn’t feeling frisky, so she offered the little girl to him instead. He accepted. Let’s just pause here for a moment, shall we? It’s hard enough to imagine one adult coming up with such an idea, and then thinking it’s an acceptable thing, and acting on it. But there were TWO adults here who both thought this was OK. Really?!? Two adults with the same depraved inclinations finding each other, and executing such a scheme….what are the odds? Pretty good I guess, because here they are. A match made in Hell.
Sykora ordered the girl to undress and then watched as the sick old bastard raped her. When the child begged for help from the evil witch, Psycho’s response was, “Oh, come on.” What?!? This is when I had to take a break to go and find my head, because it had just spun right off of my shoulders after reading that. After I put my head back on and cleaned up where I had lost my lunch, I found out that the little girl was repeatedly victimized by Martinez after the initial occurrence.
It’s a good thing she had her own child taken from her – can you imagine what she might have done with a child she had UNLIMITED access to? It makes my skin crawl.
Both of these perverted wastes of oxygen are being held on one million dollars bail. I can’t even think of anything horrible enough to do to these two. I’ll let my readers field that question for me…..
Thanks to April for the tip.

I know I don’t have to tell you who Tracy Hermann is and what she was convited of. Anyway I found a better article about her sentencing.
It seems the reason she was sentenced to 50 years instead of 100 like James Sargent was that she pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the death of her son Benjamin.
At the sentencing Hermann said that what she did was a ‘mistake’. She also said that her sentence would bring justice for Benjamin.
Maybe if she and Sargent actually gave a shit for their baby there wouldn’t be a need for justice.
Hermann will have to serve her entire sentence.

Peoria woman sentenced to 50 years for death of son:
You remember Tracy Hermann and James Sargent don’t you? They were the scumbag Breeders that left their 5-month-old son Benjamin strapped in his car seat in his crib for days while they went about their lives not feeding him, changing him or even checking on him.
The last we heard Sargent was sentenced to 100 years for his part in Benjamin’s death. Now Hermann has been sentenced to 50 years.
No word yet on why she only got half of what Sargent got. At least if she does get out she’ll be well past child bearing age.

Baby Killed After Mom Kicked On Porch:
Baby dies in fall from 3rd-floor porch during domestic dispute:
5-week-old Jeremiah Range died this week after being ejected from a car seat that his mom was carrying on a third floor porch. The 20-year-old mother went to the residence to get her kids from the 20-year-old father. There were 3 kids altogether ages 5, 1 and Jeremiah. Apparently she was leaving the father because she had two men with her. At one point the situation became confrontational and the father kicked the mother who was carrying Jeremiah in a car seat but he was not strapped in. some stabbings were also reported in the dispute.
So far no charges have been filed.
Thanks to Marie for the tip.

Sargent gets 100 years for death of son:
James Sargent of Peoria, Illinois has been sentenced to 100 years in prison for the death of his son, 5-month-old Benjamin Sargent. As you’ll recall Sargent and the birth organism, Tracy Hermann, allegedly left Benjamin strapped in his car seat in his crib for days while they went about their lives not feeding him, changing him or even checking in him. Benjamin died from an infection caused by the feces in his diaper that eventually ate through his skin.
Hermann’s trial is set to start in October.

Judge: Father’s actions toward baby were ‘brutal and heinous’:
Again you can find my other posts on Sargent here and here. He is one of a pair of Breeders who left their son, Benjamin Sargent, alone in his car seat in his crib for days while they played video games and did not feed or change Benjamin which led to his death.
The sperm donor of the pair, 24-year-old James Sargent of Peoria, Illinois, was found guilty yesterday of first degree murder.
A doctor who testified during the trial said that Benjamin didn’t die from starvation but rather from an infection caused by the unchanged diaper. The fecal material ate through the skin causing a massive infection.
Sargent is looking at 100 years when sentenced in June.
The birth organism of the pair, Tracy Hermann, is scheduled for trial in August.
