Crap, I better blog this before another person emails it. Hot tippers Joanie, mgraber and April all thought of me when they saw the tale of Jacqueline Ellen Vuich, a 26-year-old Mount Clemens, Michigan woman who confessed to injecting her 15-year-old niece and 12-year-old nephew with heroin while they ate dinner. She was sentenced this […]
Salt poisoning is a crime I haven’t heard much about here in the states. In Britain, it’s something of an epidemic…or, at least, accusations of it are. Petrina Stocker is serving five years for killing her child with salt. Other cases are more controversial, with parents maintaining that the “poisoning” resulted from medications supplied to […]
I have hot tipper Keith Tipton to “thank” for this story about Steve Lively and his merry band of dysfunctional adults, who were indicted by a grand jury this week for harm they allegedly inflicted against Lively’s two teenage sons. Lively, his wife (a.k.a. the boys’ stepmom), the wife’s brother, and some fourth dude who […]
Hot tipper Vanessa Guite apologized for sending this link to me, but justified it by saying that “every horrible story needs to be told so they can be prevented.” Amen, Vanessa. And 21-year-old Michael Wilkins of Niagara Falls, New York deserves all of the loathing he receives. His three-month-old son, Marquez Wilkins, is still in […]
Thanks to MCA for providing proof that straight parents don’t have a monopoly on abuse. The Afrikaans word “Vereeniging” means “Association” or “Union”, giving it undertones of solidarity and community. But there was no community for four-year-old Jandre Botha of the town of Vereeniging, which lies in the Gauteng province of South Africa. That’s where […]
Oh Holy God. I know I say “this is the worst thing I’ve ever read” at least once a month week, but…truly, folks. This may be the chart-topper. China Arnold’s three-week-old baby, Paris Talley, died last year with an abnormally high body temperature. Over one year later, police have arrested the 26-year-old on charges that […]
Talk about setting a bad example for a child at a young age. Joseph Clark of St. Johnsbury, Vermont was driving his Chevy when he spotted a deer in the road. The genius stopped and shined a light on the animal, to make sure that it was what he thought it was. Then, with […]
Meet Phillip Dale Williams, better known to kids in Virginia and beyond as Douglas “Dude” Cigarette. His three wives known him by another name: “asshole”. Fourth wife Lashawn Stevenson suspected something was up when her hubby received child support notices in the mail. (Yeah, that’d tip me off too.) When pressed by his wife and, […]
Hot tipper Diamond sent this story to me. Frankly, I’m reluctant to blog it here. I’ve decided to put it up with a giant question mark. It seems unbelievable at first glance. 22-year-old Scott Jennings is charged with child sexual abuse. He had easy access for his assaults: his 12-year-old victim helped him cut a […]
Thanks to hot tipper Roz for the heads-up about the parents of the baby whom authorities suspected had swallowed heroin. Roz found out through the BBC that the Edinburgh, Scotland parents have formally been charged. I assume that means that the toxicology tests confirmed heroin ingestion.
More as it becomes available. I’m waiting with bated breath […]
