Bad Breeders

Parents arrested after hiding baby’s severe burns, broken bones:

19-year-old Kaitlin Moore and her 24-year-old boyfriend Justin Weber were arrested in Mooresville, Indiana for allegedly scalding their two-month-old baby.

Moore claims that the baby fell off the bath pad and into the bath tub.

They tried treating the burns at home because they were afraid of losing the baby. The reason they were afraid of losing the baby because DCS had already visited the house because of bruises the baby had. They actually tried claiming that the bruises were from the baby accidentally bumping into a door. That’s the stereotypical excuse a wife beater uses so it makes me wonder if she was being beat as well.

Not only were the burns so bad that the skin was coming off but the hospital also discovered 8 different bone fractures.

If these scum really cared about their child and it was truly an accident they would have gone to the hospital no matter what. Instead they were selfish scum that cared more about getting in trouble then getting help for their child. What kind of cowards beat a 2-month-old child anyway.

Queens man accused of burning girlfriend’s baby:

20-year-old Anthony Parra of Queens, New York is accused of putting his girlfriend’s daughter into ICU by scalding the 11-month-old girl.

These stories are almost becoming old hat. It has all the usual elements. Boyfriend was babysitting while mom was at work, baby starts to cry boyfriend flips out and harms the child.

In this case the girl was put into a hot shower then had hotter water from the sink thrown on her as well.

Those kind of burns would result in the skin just sloughing off of the body like it was wet paper.

Police think that there may be evidence of sexual assault as well.

Thanks to Angel T for the tip.

21-year-old Lyndon Barfield Jr. of Casselberry, Florida was arrested for allegedly scalding his 5-month-old son in a bath tub and locking the bathroom door.

He claimed that he went to go answer the phone. Police are suspicious though since it wasn’t too long ago that EMTs were called to the house after Lyndon III stopped breathing supposedly because of a pillow falling on his head.

Now I missed all the diaper changing of infants and everything but isn’t 5 months a little young to be in a bathtub by themselves? And do they not have a cordless phone in their house?

Toddler Dies After Being Scalded, Mother Arrested:

Perez originally claimed that the girl knocked over a pot of boiling water on herself. However it was later determined that Perez never sought medical treatment for her daughter and sent her to her room for ‘misbehaving’

Also an autopsy revealed that Delilah had other injuries from long term abuse.

Mother, boyfriend went on errands after toddler burned:

I actually saw this story yesterday but I passed on it because I thought it was a duplicate of story I had posted before. It wasn’t until I saw it on Dreamin’ Demon that I realized it wasn’t the same story.

23-year-old Isela Reyes-Talamantes and her boyfriend 24-year-old John Vigil have been arrested in the death of her son, 2-year-old Elijah Archuleta.

It is alleged that Vigil had burned Elijah in the bath at around 8am while Reyes-Talamantes was at work. Rather than going to the hospital Vigil waited. He picked up Reyes-Talamantes from work around 1:30pm which is when she first found out about Elijah being burned.

Still they did not take him to the hospital. Instead they went to a court hearing for Vigil, Walgreens, a bank, a gas station, a restaurant, and then went home getting there around 7pm.

Still with me? So far that’s roughly 11 hours since Elijah had been scalded. But wait, there’s more.

Then vigil went out and hung out with his buddies at another restaurant. Then after he got home they went to the ER and got there at close to 11pm. So that’s 15 hours since he was originally burned did they finally get him medical attention. But since you’re reading this here you can probably guess how this story ends.

Elijah was more than likely already dead by the time they got to the hospital. As usual in these types of cases the couple lied to the hospital saying he was burned days ago but they brought him to the hospital because he was ‘choking’.

When police returned to the house they interviewed Elijah’s 4-year-old sister…

Also quoted in the probable cause statement is the toddler’s 4-year-old sister. The girl told a a Denver Police Forensic interviewer on Saturday that “John John [Vigil] was mad at mommy because mommy was crying” because she said her brother was dead.

Then Reyes-Talamantes admitted that they planned to lie to police and the hospital. So to me it sounds like Elijah had been dead for a while and Vigil was doing anything within his power to not go to the hospital.

Whenever these stories happen I have to remind the child abusers out there that they’re not smarter than police or medical staff. They know more than you and will always find out the truth.

Hot tipper Serena gave me this disquieting piece about Salt Lake City, Utah dad Eric Ison Jones, who’s on the run after allegedly scalding his son’s legs and stomach with hot water. The boy’s mother left little Malicah in his father’s care, thinking he could be trusted. It’s a decision she will likely regret for the rest of her life. Physical evidence shows that Jones likely held Malicah down while he applied scalding water to him, causing his skin to bubble and blister all over the lower half of his body.

What should happen to Jones one police catch him? Bridgette Matthews, Malicah’s sister, has an idea: “They should put [Jones] in boiling hot water, push him down and cut his hair and ask him how it feels. That’s what I think… and then he spend the rest of his life behind bars.”

Can’t argue with that punishment. How much more depraved can you get – not only punishing your kid with hot water in the first place, but holding him down in order to inflict maximum damage? On second thought, scalding water might be too good for this asshole.

The police in Salt Lake have released a photo of Jones, and have a hotline set up. If you see the bastard, turn him in NOW.
