Parents Behaving Badly

Man admits to killing ex, leaves 2-yr-old in car with dead mom:

Sometimes you can be a bad boyfriend without physically harming the child. For example take Victor A. Martinez Jr. of Tempe, Arizona.

He was arrested for shooting and killing his ex-girlfriend 23-year-old Christina Hallman. And it’s not just because he allegedly killed Ms. Hallman leaving the baby without a mother that makes him a bad boyfriend. What makes him a bad boyfriend is that he is said to have shot Ms. Hallman in her car while her 2-year-old daughter was in the back seat leaving the girl there when he left.

Luckily the girl was physically unharmed.

Mom Charged After 5-Year Old Shot:

I don’t mean to pick on West Virginia today but that’s the way the tips came in.

This time we go to Huntington, WV where 22-year-old Brittany R. Briers was arrested after her 5-year-old daughter was accidentally shot in the foot. The girl and her 2-year-old brother allegedly found the gun under the sofa, unlocked and obviously loaded.

Not just any gun mind you. Not a hunting rifle. Not a handgun for personal protection. No, it was the preferred gun of gang bangers and terrorists, the AK-47.

Even if the gun was owned for less than nefarious purposes, which I doubt, leaving it like that unlocked around children in the worst hiding place ever is just asking to have your kids killed.

Thanks to Angie for the tip.

Gunshot to face slays girl:

Not only should there be an IQ test before becoming a parent there should also be one if you’re going to own a gun. For example take 36-year-old Duke Lawrence Watrous of Oak Point, Texas. He is accused of shooting his 10-year-old daughter in the face on Christmas Eve possibly while intoxicated.

The article states that other unsecured guns were removed from the premises.

Again guns, alcohol and children can have very deadly consequences.

Article1, Article2

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.

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.

Article1, Article2, Article3, Article4

We may as well say that both parents are losers and liars, and they have both cried at some point during this clustermuck. I would be willing to bet that neither has cried as much as their three year old did when he was shot. Just guessing on that one, though.

William Thalley, 29, and his wife, Nicole Fernandez, 25, have been arrested on child abuse charges, and it hasn’t been reported yet, but I would imagine also for filing a false police report (for lying to the cops). Now if they could just be charged with terminal stupidity as well, we could call it a day.

Thalley told the cops that his three year old had been shot in a drive by shooting, and the little woman backed up his silly story. The child was at the hospital where they had taken him after he was injured at the family home. I guess they thought that taking the child to the hospital BEFORE notifying authorities would keep them from doing a thorough investigation at the residence, and their story might be believed. While no details were given, my guess is that the first clue that the parents were lying was probably the lack of a bullet hole in wall or window.

The 3-year old boy, whose name has not been released, was in serious condition just after the incident but has since been released into the custody of Colorado CPS. The parents have been barred from all contact with the child (good call, Judge!), and both still remain in jail. Thalley has a bond set at $275,000.00, and Fernandez’ bond is $150,000.00.

The police determined that the child was shot inside the residence, and that the bullet came from a gun that was also inside the residence, and being held at the time by the sperm donor. Thalley has tried to blame an unidentified Hispanic man for the crime. Nothing says brotherhood like trying to blame one of your own ethnic group, huh?

Thalley has a prior conviction for domestic abuse, and hopefully this incident will get him the lengthy sentence that he so richly deserves. He cried crocodile tears for the judge, but apparently the judge doesn’t care for reptiles, because the waterworks didn’t sway him (her?).

I know this is off topic, and irrelevant, but I had to bring it up because it intrigues me. One of the couple’s neighbors said that the child has blond hair. I looked at the pictures of the parents. While I completely understand genetics, and know that two brown eyed people can create a blue eyed child if each has a recessive blue-eye gene, and the child gets it from both parents; I find it hard to believe that BOTH of these individuals have a gene for blond hair. Which makes me wonder if the child even belongs to Thalley, or if he is the step-penis. Just a little something to make you go “Hmmmmmmm…..”

In other news, the only remaining member of the family, a dog, was confiscated from the home on Monday. I wonder if he had any bullet holes in him, or if the boy was the only interesting target for the abusive idiot.

Police: Father Says He Accidentally Shot Son:

14-month-old Travis Bohannon was shot and killed while his father was pushing him along in a stroller in Midland, Indiana. Originally his father, 29-year-old Ronald Bohannon, told police that it was some kind of random shooting.

Eventually he admitted to police that he was carrying a gun in his hand while pushing the stroller and the gun went off.

How much of a stupid freakin’ idiot do you have to be to be carrying a gun in your hand while pushing a baby stroller?

Again I’m all for the 2nd Amendment but there are way to many idiots with guns.

Slain teen’s placement in foster home questioned:

34-year-old Christopher Milburn’s 15-year-old daughter complained of abuse and was placed in a foster home. That foster home was only two doors down from her father’s home in Dyersburg, Tennessee.

So I imagine that it wasn’t much trouble for this scumbag to walk the 200 feet to the foster home, shoot his daughter and the foster father to death before taking the coward’s way out himself.

The Tennessee Department of Children’s Services says it’s not unusual to place an abused child that close to the place of abuse. They may want to rethink that policy.

Riley: Boy hit by bullet because father was buying drugs, not getting directions:

To hear the unidentified sperm donor tell it him and his son had just pulled over to a house to ‘ask for directions’ when a man started shooting at him with a machine gun, The assailant was obviously a lousy shot because of instead of hitting the ‘direction asking’ father he hit the 10-year-old boy instead. The boy was hsotg in the arm and the injury is not life threatening.

However as the police tell it the sperm donor was actually there to buy drugs. Oh, and did I mention his 8-year-old daughter was in the car as well? She was uninjured.

I would recommend in the future that this guy uses Mapquest or Google Maps for his directions but I’m guessing they don’t have crack houses listed on them.

Suit filed over SoCal gay teen’s classroom murder:

For those of you who are unfamiliar with some of my other work I run a site called CrimeNe.ws. One of the type of crimes I post about at CN is school shootings. One in particular shooting I’ve been following for the past year was that of 15-year-old Lawrence King.

King was an openly gay student who attended school at E.O. Green Junior High in Oxnard, California. His Breeders had thrown him out of the house for being gay. At the time of his death King was living in a shelter for troubled teens. Not only was King openly gay but he was by all accounts flamboyantly gay. He would sometimes wear make up and women’s clothing to school. Around this time last year he was shot and killed by then 14-year-old Brandon McInerney. McInerney was allegedly King’s bully. Reports say that he harassed King for being gay. Some accounts say that King retaliated by mockingly flirting with McInerney. McInerney allegedly couldn’t take the humiliation and shot King in the back of the head.

Now King’s parents, Dawn and Gregory King, are not only suing the school district but they’re also suing the shelter Lawrence King stayed at and a gay rights organization. They’re suing Casa Pacifica, the shelrer, because they say that the shelter gave King his women’s clothing. They’re suing the Ventura County Rainbow Alliance stating that it was them that gave King the idea to flirt with McInerney.

Is it just me or would none of this probably happened if they didn’t throw out their own son over something as insignificant as being gay?

It’s too bad they can’t be sued for being closed minded and greedy asshats.

Affidavit: Scoped Rifle Used To Kill Girl, 6:

That’s it. There’s too many idiots with guns and kids out there that I’ve created a category strictly about guns. I don’t have a problem with people who legally own guns. I do have a problem with people who use them so irresponsibly that some one ends up injured or dead.

For example take 23-year-old Matthew Peoples of Oklahoma City. He claims he accidentally killed his 6-year-old daughter when he pointed his scoped rifle at his daughter, Denise Anderson, and pulled the trigger forgetting that he had loaded the rifle the day before. I don’t know why he would then dump his daughter’s body outside of town but here we are.

Let’s just take his story at face value even though I don’t believe it. What is with some people who treat guns as a joke? I have never owned a gun in my life and I don’t plan to. But even I know that you always treat a gun as if it we’re loaded.

Child Dead, Father Charged With Murder:

Christopher Mitchell of Johnson City, Tenn. has been charged with first degree murder in the death of his two-year-old son, Jacob. Jacob died from a gunshot to the head but Mitchell claims it was an accident. Like that’s supposed to make it better.

Mitchell claims that he kept a loaded handgun in a kitchen cabinet that he knew Jacob had gotten into before. However police aren’t buying that story and it didn’t help that Mitchell gave police a false name and hid the gun. For that Mitchell has also been charged with tampering with evidence and criminal impersonation.

I think I may have to have a separate category just for idiots with guns.

For those who may need to know the rules again here they are.

Don’t keep guns when you have kids in the house.

If you absolutely have to have a gun keep the gun locked and unloaded. You can get trigger locks for cheap.

Man admits to family murders:

Roberto Aguirre Rojas is a petty, jealous and controlling piece of crap. That’s all there is to it. I mean why else would he shoot and kill his mother-in-law, two step-kids, Mauro, 8, and Silvestre Garza, 6, and his own son, Osiel Rojas, while they slept? According to the article he did it because he was separated from his wife, Amelia Rojas, and that she was going to college against his wishes. God forbid a woman should want to improve herself. It probably didn’t help either that Rojas drinks himself to sleep.

And don’t worry, he shot his wife too. He not only shot her but he also beat her with the butt of his rifle. She survived and has recently come out of her coma.

So one man lost his wife, another man lost his two kids, and Amelia Rojas lost three of hers. All because one little man can’t handle rejection or an woman trying to be independent. Rot in hell scumbag.

Since he committed this atrocious act in Texas hopefully he won’t be on the taxpayer dole for too long.

Details in shooting of 3-year-old surface:

I’m not against people who own guns, just stupid people who own guns. Take for example 43-year-old Gary Wayne Garretson of Coal City, WV. He accidentally shot and killed his 3-year-old son, Anthony Garretson, with a shotgun.

His version of the story was he was ‘playing a game’ with his son where he would chase him around with the unloaded gun while his sun would run around saying “You can’t get me, Daddy.” Except this time the gun was loaded.

I’ve only fired a gun a handful of times in my life but the first commandment of gun safety is always treat the gun like it’s loaded. If you don’t it could have lethal consequences as seen here unfortunately.

Thanks to Julie for the tip.

N.Y. man who killed his 2 kids gets life in prison:

Former New York Corrections officer Everett George was given two life sentences without parole in the shooting death of his kids.

George was convicted of killing his 12-year-old son and his 1-year-old daughter as she sat in her high chair. He did so to get back at the kids’ mother for seeing another man.

Hey New York, I bet that death penalty is looking pretty good right now.
