Police arrested a Chandler father whose 7-month-old daughter died from skull fractures and bleeding in her brain Tuesday. Details of the child’s death, revealed through court documents, show the amount of violence officers said the girl endured. Officers and fire crews responded to a call about an unresponsive infant at a home near Alma School and Fry roads about 8 a.m. Monday morning, Chandler Police Det. Frank Mendoza said.

A German father has been arrested and charged with castrating the man dating his teenage daughter. Helmut Seifert, 47, was not real happy when he found out that his 17-year-old daughter was dating 57-year-old Phillip Genscher. So he went to Genscher’s home and with the help of two of his co-workers, forced Genscher to take off his pants and then removed his manjigglies with the aid of a bread knife. “Genscher was fully conscious,” the London’s Telegraph reports.

A Scout troop leader was facing jail after admitting possessing sadistic sex images that showed youngsters bound and gagged. Ryan Jameson had 25 level five images – depicting the very worst forms of child abuse. The 21-year-old has been suspended by the Scout Association while his case goes before the court. He also admitted assaulting three children when he appeared before Ipswich Crown Court. Judge David Goodin warned the young man that he could be jailed when he is sentenced next month. ‘You are in some trouble now. It’s right that all sentencing options be explored – all of them – including any intervention that might assist you in removing this unpleasantness from your life,’ he said.
An infant girl was scalded in a bathroom sink and her teenage parents arrested on suspicion of child abuse after failing to seek timely medical attention for her, authorities said Friday. Jiovanni McMillan, 18, of San Jacinto, put the 2-month-old in the sink to bathe her at a relative’s Perris-area home, turned on the water and looked away for a moment, a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department news release said. The water was scalding hot and the baby began to scream, the release stated. Neither he nor the 17-year-old mother, a Los Angeles resident whose name was not disclosed because she is a minor, sought medical help until more than 12 hours later, after the infant’s skin began to peel off from the burns, sheriff’s Sgt. Patrick Chavez said.
