Man intentionally crashes in an attempt to hide child abuse
Ugg. This one is just sickening.
23-year-old Timothy Mallard intentionally dunked his 4-month-old baby’s hand into boiling water. Why anyone would do this to a 4-month old baby…I have no idea. Maybe he has high on crack? Oh, it could be because he’s is a border line retard with an IQ of 75.
After two days of crying and not receiving medical attention, this man decides to attempt to cover up the abuse with…a car crash. Again…retard.
After crashing his car and setting it on fire he proceeds to dangle his baby girl over the flames. He was actually attempting to hide her previous burns by re-burning her. Ugg.
Unlike him, doctors aren’t stupid. They were easily able to detect the two different burns, broken ribs and facial bruising inflicted upon this poor child and promptly had his ass thrown in jail.
If I were the judge, I would have first boiled then burned his testicles. He should get to feel what it’s like to be boiled and burned. He should also have his procreation privileges revoked.

I have no compassion or sympathy for this man’s behavior, but I think it’s generally true that mentally retarded people in general would not harm a child in this way. I think this scenario has more to do with the man being an abuse bastard than a so-called “retard”.

I agree, rebl. For the most part, many mentally impaired individuals would not do something like this. With an IQ of 75, I have a hard time believing he came up with this plan on his own, so who put the idea in his head? I do, however, believe that his parental right should be terminated in this case. Period.

for someone with such a low iq he sure had enough mind to stage this bullshit, this poor baby. and of course the other parent as usual does not get a sentence. the article says she is scarred for life, and mom get no jail time, daddy gets seven years, big deal for them, but i am very sure prison justice will prevail on daddy, they hate people that fuck with kids…….im sure he is hating life now - he to will be scared for life, he’ll probably never walk straight again

As the mom of a retarded child, I find the way you wrote this appalling…
I find the story appalling as well, but now, I am more pissed about the way this was written. If he is TRULY mentally retarded, then we cannot hold him at fault for his actions. Maybe the inital burn was an accident, maybe his wife is the abuser and told him how to cover it up…
Of course it’s horrifying what happened to this baby…but, someone who is disabled is not thinking like the rest of us..

This person is a hideous monster. The sentence is offensively short.Letting her cry in agony for 2 days whilst he surfed the web on Ebay. Nice.If he does have a 75 IQ, he is a bit cognitively deficient but that level of intelligence can certainly understand simple examples of right and wrong and if he was able to come up with the hideous plan of covering up a crime with another crime, I have a feeling that the IQ defense is a bit shady.I know many mentally and/or physically impaired people and I also found the cavalier use of the word “retard” jarring and unnecessary.But I guess the newspaper must have used it somewhere and I think it is used in England more than here where it isn’t too PC anymore. This f**ker is more spiritually and ethically retarded (in the true sense of the word) anyhow. God that poor little baby. Four months they are so defenseless and small. Her hand would be so little.I kissed my little boys 4 month old fingers so many times.He’s 14 months old now and I still do it. Funny, it never occurred to me to dip them in boiling water. Yeah, this creep needs to be teabagged in some boiling water. One lump or two, a$$h*le

I am not a doctor and none of us here know the extent of this guy’s handicap. However, he was intelligent enough to follow through with an idea (wherever it came from) to severly re-injure a BABY to cover injuries to a BABY by further BURNING a BABY, breaking bones of a BABY. What do you think the baby girl was doing and thinking during all this?!!! He looked at her and heard the cries and screams of a baby. I have children. Do you know the scream of an injured child; it is horrific and piercing to the human body. You can’t mistake it. This is severe pain and suffering with permanent scars. Personally, I am tired of excuses for people’s behavior and mental status and/or poor broken upbringing. I am a product of the poor abused beaten raped and molested childhood and I don’t abuse others. This is unacceptable and 7 years is nothing when you consider how soon he can get out with 7 the max. What will happen when he’s out to the next baby. Poor baby girl. The mother and this trash should be taken out!

I dont care if the man was mentally retarded or of ‘right mind’. He’s an abusive bastard that should be castrated so he can never reproduce. I think they should make an audio tape of that babies cries until she heals, throw his ass in solitary confinement and play that tape at full volume every second of every day of the rest of his life so he can see what kind of pain he’s inflicted.

What a peice of shit. He could have the IQ of a slug and it still wouldn’t make a difference. He is obviously a danger to children. Lock him up and keep him from procreating. There are tons of people out there with mental handicaps that are able to live decent lives and never even dare to harm anyone else. Many of those have normal lives and families of their own. The “tea-bagging” treatment sounds good to me. Then we can wait a couple of days and do it again to his already injured body. Please get this trash off the streets.

The article does not say this is HIS child. It says he was supposed to be looking after the child with his 28 year old girlfriend. It does not specify that these are the parents. And the girlfriend WAS a youth-worker who had her sentence suspended for two years because of psychiatric reports. Sounds like quite the pair.

Did you just call him a “retard”? What the heck has happened to this site? It used to be well-written, insightful, thoughtful, and heart-wrenching. It’s changed, much for the worse. Very trashy. I’m deleting you from my bookmarks today, and wish you all the well.

I cant believe what Im reading, you all are upset he called this man a retard??? HE BURNED A BABIES HANDS BY HOLDING THEM IN BOILING WATER!!I say he is a fuckin retarded bastard, the SOB should have his whole body scalded!I also know mentally handicapped people, they have never harmed a child. And Jen, to say we can not hold him at fault and maybe it was an accident…are you kidding me??? Yes I bet the boiling water was on the floor and maybe a 4 month baby crawled over and stuck her hands in. COME ON….Regardless of his IQ he needs to be held responsible for what he did, he thought up a plan to try to cover up what he had done. I am soooo sick of people trying to get out of the crimes they commit by saying the have mental problems.

Leah: I so agree with you. It’s all about trashing and making ugly comments here now. I used to love this blog but I’ve noticed the change in the bashing that goes on here. Very trashy indeed.
And to the writer: thanksfully you’re not the judge.
To everyone else: read Jens comment. Couldn’t agree more with you Jen!
Winter
Apr 12, 2007 at 5:40 am
I think we are focusing on the wrong thing…
Instead of bashing the person who did this, we should be focused on how this happened in the first place and how to keep it from happening again.
Who left the child in their care, and why?

I agree with Jessica’s comments and believe what Winter is saying is also true. So,how do we stop this from happening to another child…and make people believe that torture to a baby is wrong…or shopping while an infant is screaming and suffering is selfish…or get mothers to care more about their children than their boyfriends? This sounds ridiculous becasue the logic to these statements is evidentiary in nature and should be a no-brainer!!! Therefore, anyone who cannot function in society, whether a “retard” as people called him or “handicapped” or “abusive” whatever……should be removed from society and preferably with a bullet. But I know most of you don’t support such violence and our government is not as cruel as the rest of the world where you get hit with a cane or some other appropriate severe form of punishment that scares the living daylights out of others and acts as a real deterent from committing crimes, so there’s confinement. Many violent offenders are re-peat offenders and even if you get “life” you get paroled, so what’s the solution?

I have a firm belief that you can’t make a person in jail change their behavoir. You are taking a person who has done something horrible out of society, placing them in a population of people who are also breaking the same laws, and expecting them to change for the better. It doesn’t work. We need to think for the future and realize that the “department of corrections” isn’t correcting squat. Plan on housing these offenders for the rest of their lives (preferrably in outside tents and chain gangs) and do away with those given the death penalty quickly.
How people arrested and sent to jail have an easier time getting a college degree than those of us following the rules is something we should also look into.

Apr 13, 2007 at 10:15 pm
I don’t understand why there is no mention of who the parents are, why did he have the child? It’s “retarded” to leave a child with someone without the ability to care for it.
marklar
Apr 13, 2007 at 10:38 pm
And I agree with the nasty and trashing comments. I found this site recently and have been sad to see it degenerate. It seems just to be a forum to talk about how much violence they would like to do and then go on about how much better parents they are.

Yeah, God forbid we should trash talk about a child abuser. Next thing you know, we’ll be all dissing Hitler and calling Satan bad words.
On a serious note, I think the reason we trash talk and air fantasies about justice and vengeance on this site is because we’re (most of us) parents, and the thought of something like this happening to our babies is horrifying. Rather than having to keep our horror inside of us, we talk this way to each other. It relieves the stress, the stress that comes from fear that someone would hurt your baby.
If you are so very Christ-like that you can think of someone dipping your baby’s hands in boiling water and not wanting some kind of vengeance, then I salute you. I’m sure there is a very nice set of wings waiting for you. Me, I read this site because I think more people need to remember these kids and fight for them, but, frankly, the stress of doing so gets to me. I look at my son sometimes and imagine if that had happened to him, and the very thought is unbearable. If this fellow was truly mentally handicapped, then perhaps he is not an evil bastard, but he still needs to be permanently kept away from children. If not–if he has the capacity to make and follow through on plans and distinguish right from wrong–then he is a sick, evil bastard.

I so agree with you Julie!!! And to Jen,Marklar,Leah and whoever else…..if these comments are too much for you to handle. If you just cant bear the thought of us parents talking bad about killers and child abusers then maybe the solutin is DONT READ THE COMMENTS!!!! You can look at the site without seeing what we have to say. Try it…

…And child abuse, torture, rape and murder are OFFENSIVE! Your eyes can read that but you can’t understand the hatred people feel because of it? Makes no sense. I read these articles to track how bad things are and to be watchful and know what’s happening in our society. Maybe if I do that I might notice something that could save a child’s life becasue I choose to see the ugly truth of what we are surrounded with. Peace, politically correct statements and civility are all wonderful in an understanding world, but read the articles, this is not the case. More and more our children are being abused or killed, their little lives truly mean little in the legal community (which I am in) and we need to tighten the reigns and stiffen the punishments in our country. Sure you don’t trash talk to lobby for change in this country, but it was nice to see that I am not the only one soooo angry that feels we need to rid our communities of predators and can get out a little frustration with words as I know the difference not to act.

Yes the word choice is kinda tacky, but come on…how frustrated are we, how many tears do we have to cry, how many parents (or caregivers) will keep having kids, hurting them and continue to get them back them and finally kill them before we focus, focus, focus on the kids? Get past this. Get off the site if you don’t like it, but please! We are soooo frustrated. Our deep anger and resentment causes us to try to find a reason, causes us to judge and yes can bring out the rude demon in us all. I work in special ed so don’t come down on me for sticking up for an over-frustrated writer.
BTW….he DID plan, arrange, cover and try to hide his crime…that is premeditated and requires survival skills and thought. He. Should. Burn….Period.
Jen
Apr 19, 2007 at 8:44 am
My point, which was taken by some (thank you btw), is that IF he is really mentally retarded, then someone helped him plan this and he is NOT responsible for his actions if that is the case. If he isn’t mentally retarded then of course, he should be quickly and swifly punished for his actions.
I do take it very personally since I know how vunerable that population is. MY SON INCLUDED. If someone was talking this way about your child would you not be offended? I find the word RETARD as offensive as nigger, guinea, wop, spic and yes, nappy headed ho…you name it…it’s not cool or correct. AND, just because you say it and it’s a “habit” doesn’t make it right. Am I “Christ like” as someone wrote? Hardly, but, I do have a sense of responsiblity and some sensibilty.

OBVIOUSLY ALL THE COMPLAINERS OF THE TRASH TAKLING ARE STILL READING THE SITE THAT “THEY ARE NEVER READING AGAIN” BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL POSTING, I AGREE WITH THE “TRASH TALKERS” LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR KID AND SEE IF YOU HAVE THE CONSIDERATION TO NOT CALL THE PERSON WHO INJURED YOUR CHILD A “NOT NICE NAME”…..HOW CAN ANYONE SAY ANYTHING NICE ABOUT THESE ADULTS THAT ARE HURTING POOR INNOCENT CHILDREN, YOU ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT PROBABLY CALL THE NAMES LIKE JUVENILE DELINQUENT, THE LITTLE JUVIES ARE BEING RAISED (9XS OUT OF 10) BY PEOPLE THAT ABUSE! Let me say this, someone hurts or injures my child, I will have nothing nice to say and it angers me the things I read on this site that happens to little babies, they are things I would never even think of doing, retarded or a person with a degree, the is NO EXCUSE whatsoever for this bullshit that happens to innocent children. What happened to love and compassion for babies?

If we are going to throw around mental conditions, I think sociopath or psychopath, probably the former, is much more apt than ‘retard’.
Retardation does not make people violent, I went to elementary school with severely retarded people before, they were like, grade 4 kids who acted like they were still in kindergarten, mostly sweet but dumb, what harm they cause is unintentional through ignorance. Some won’t know that sharp things are dangerous for example…and even when they get hurt some won’t be able to connect it with the sharp things, though unless they are really gone they’ll drop it. When they do get it, that hitting that ball in your face hurts, they do feel bad about it.
This man, he understood what he did, he just didn’t care. Oh, he care that he himself could get in trouble, he understood that, which was why he attempted to cover it up. What he did was not stupid to him, if he didn’t want the hurt the baby, and he did that, then it would be stupid. He didn’t care however, he only want to cover up his abuse of the baby, and he didn’t care what further harm he did to it, so, sociopath/psychopath?
Now, the parents who cared for their kids, want them to be the best…and therefore give them vitamins everyday, but OD them on it because More Is Better, now those parents are ‘retarded’…Or the ones who lysol the dishes before use or whatever…

He would be developmentally or cognitively disabled. Retard is a deragatory term. I usually enjoy this blog, and am surprised the author would use such a term. Would you have said “cripple” if the man was in a wheelchair?
Mom’s to blame. “University Educated?” Yeah, leave your baby with an individual with a disability known for poor decision making skills.
Kate
Apr 27, 2007 at 10:55 am
I have to agree with SY. While I have nothing good to say about the man responsible for this baby’s injuries, I really object to the use of the term ‘retard’ as an insult. My brother is mentally retarded and it disturbs me to see you, someone who ostensibly is championing the rights of children, using this term in such a way. Please be more judicious in your word selection in the future.

Jun 19, 2007 at 11:40 pm
I’m actually really irritated that you used the term “retard” to insult this guy (he’s clearly not actually retarded if he is functional enough to carry out a plan to cover up the abuse of that baby) AND that you seem to advocate sterilizing the mentally ill. You know, we used to do that in the olden days before the public found out about it and, *gasp*, decided even *retards* are entitled to basic human rights. Just because your whole brain works, you are in no position to decide someone else should be sterilized. It’s inhumane, and I’m disgusted that there are actually people out there who really believe that’s an appropriate way to deal with criminals and/or *retards*. Should we become monsters in our punishment of monsters?
The articles on this site that really break my heart are the ones that aren’t drenched in the writers’ slurs. Why? Because those are the stories I can read without being distracted by 60% “if it’d been my choice I’d have castrated him and then rolled over his testes with my car nine times and then lit them on fire” rhetoric. Shame.
I am a survivor of child abuse and I’ll be the first to tell you both my parents are mentally ill (one of them certifiably so, and diagnosed long before my parents even met). However, if they’d not been allowed to have babies, I wouldn’t be here. And I’ll tell you what: *someone* has to be here to try to prevent this kind of crap from happening to innocent babies.

I just have to add that I think it’s funny people here are saying “I’m offended by the word retard. My uncle/brother/son/cousin is mentally retarded…” So, you can call them a retard, but no one else? That’s retarded. Oh, and annoyed, if you should ever venture back to this blog I’d like to point out that both of your parent were retarded and abused you and you are saying you are thankful they were given that right?!? So it is true, retardation can be passed on from generation to generation. Are you beating your children in the hopes they will be thankful to you one day as well?
The man in this story was a sick retard. He stuck the baby’s hand in the boiling water, not his own so he knew it was going to be painful and then mastered a plan to cover up his crime by burning her over a flame. SICK RETARD!

I have to agree with the last poster. I could care less what people are calling this deranged bastard. Why are you offended by what people are saying about him? LOOK WHAT HE DID TO THAT BABY! He held her hands in boiling water…ON PURPOSE. He’s a piece of shit. I don’t give a damn who is offended by my saying that. I AM OFFENDED that there are pieces of garbage like this on this earth who hurt THEIR OWN CHILDREN because they can. These monsters NEVER get a just sentence. He should be in jail forever.
This country has become way to PC. That animal can fuck off and die.
