In South Dos Palos, California, Martha Franco, 42 and her husband Jose were arrested for abusing their four-year-old autistic son and beating him into a coma. The mother is charged with attempted murder, child endangerment, corporal injury and battery with serious injury.
Police say the boy’s injuries are horrific and believe he was abused over the course of four weeks. […]
For those who hadn’t heard, LaShaun Harris, the Oakland, California mom who thought God told her to toss her kids into the river, was found legally insane by a judge. Too bad no one made that determination BEFORE she murdered her children. This is an obviously sick woman who should never have been left to […]
Un-fracking-believable. Charming Bitch has updated me on the case of Teresa Moses, the woman who tortured her beautiful son Raijon Daniels to death in a basement dungeon. At the time of her arrest, Moses insisted that her boy had swallowed Pine-Sol while holed up in the basement. But the autopsy report, which was recently released, […]
Thanks to Steve for the heads up on the case of Dennis Potts of Bonita, California, now the prime suspect in the murders of his girlfriend Tori Vienneau and their son, Dean. Vienneau was beaten to death; poor Dean was found in his crib, hanged with a cord. The story is that Vienneau had planned […]
Question: How “inexperienced” of a traveler do you have to be to believe that your grandchild needs to go through the X-Ray conveyor? I’m just saying, yo. (Thanks, Gregg!)

I haven’t posted yet about the Craigslist post offering a five-year-old child to a good home, because it wasn’t clear when it first broke whether it was real, or a hoax perpetrated by a college kid. Well, it was a hoax, all right…but sadly, a hoax that earns a place in the PBB Hall of […]
Not much to go on with this story yet, but it certainly seems like a case of a parent gone insane. 32-year-old Minh Phu Le is in the hospital, clinging on to life, after taking a large-enough drug dose to kill himself. (Police haven’t named the substance used.) That would be tragic if that were […]
Okay, this has gone beyond ridiculous. If you haven’t been following the 190-comment-long Nancy Nibarger thread, you can get an update from the San Francisco Chronicle’s latest write-up. As you may remember, parents at Castro Valley High School in California called three different times for the dismissal of girls’ basketball coach Nibarger, who they claim […]
A hot tipper sent along a story about two parents who make Brandon Alan Austill, the dad who cattle-prodded his own baby, look like a canonized saint. Terry and Chandy Indula’s 3-year-old daughter is close to death after being tortured by the dad and stepmom for months on end. Authorities in Modesto, California say that […]
I encountered this story on Friday, and decided to save it for a weekend write-up. I was reminded to get off my ass and post it by Ven’ys of Akarya, who sent me the link and said, “I saw this, and unfortunately, thought of you. Sorry.” No problem, Ven’ys; I’ve gotten used to people thinking […]
