Man Fractured Boy’s Spine

Posted by Sandra On January - 1 - 2011 ADD COMMENTS
An Adams County man allegedly burned and beat a 4-year-old boy.  The district attorney said the boy isn’t Michael Love‘s son. His mother gave him to Love in September, after they met in a homeless shelter. Court records say that Love punched the 4-year-old in the stomach five times because the child was hiding food.  Love allegedly hit the boy at least 20 times on his arms, legs, stomach, back and head. The records go on to say that Love failed to seek medical attention for the boy after he fell out of a moving vehicle, and he did nothing after finding the boy face down, gurgling in a bathtub. Love finally took the 4-year-old to the hospital after he found him unresponsive Dec. 4.  Once the boy got there, he needed emergency surgery for blood pooling in his brain.

3-year-old’s teeth and toenails pulled out with pliers

Madison, In – Is it so hard to be alone today that you need to be involved with someone who will hurt your child? Many children are abused by boyfriends. What makes these men attractive to these mothers? There is nothing attractive about any person who would intentionally hurt or abuse a child.

Last month, a 3 year old boy was taken to the hospital by his grandparents. “I couldn’t even recognize his face was so bruised and he had bumps and lumps,” Karl Andersen Senior, the grandfather, said. Prosecutors say 21-year-old Jessica Carder, the boy’s mother, and Andrew Richards, 27, her boyfriend pulled his teeth and his toenails. How? “There’s evidence to support that pliers were used to extract the teeth and that there is damage to the gum and gum line.” prosecutor Chad Lewis said.

Boy’s Body Hidden For More Than Year

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — An Indiana woman told police investigators she fed her 3-year-old son olive oil and vinegar until he stopped breathing and died, then wrapped his body in a blanket and hid it for more than a year, according to court documents. Fort Wayne police arrested Latisha Ann Lawson on Tuesday, a day after family members reported her and her two children missing. Officers found Lawson and her 10-year-old daughter living in a house that a church had provided for them in recent weeks. Investigators reported finding a child’s remains inside a tote bag.

Pope’s child porn ‘normal’ claim sparks outrage among victims

Victims of clerical sex abuse have reacted furiously to Pope Benedict’s claim yesterday that paedophilia wasn’t considered an “absolute evil” as recently as the 1970s. In his traditional Christmas address yesterday to cardinals and officials working in Rome, Pope Benedict XVI also claimed that child pornography was increasingly considered “normal” by society. “In the 1970s, paedophilia was theorised as something fully in conformity with man and even with children,” the Pope said.

Pedophilia Book Author Arrested

Fla officials arrest pedophilia how-to book author

ST. PETERSBURG, FL– Florida officials filed an obscenity charge Monday against the author of a self-published how-to guide for pedophiles that was yanked from Amazon.com last month after it generated online outrage.
Polk County sheriff’s deputies arrested Philip Ray Greaves II at his home in Pueblo, Colo., and charged him with violating Florida’s obscenity law. Polk Sheriff Grady Judd said his office was able to arrest Greaves on Florida charges because Greaves sold and mailed his book, “The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover’s Code of Conduct,” directly to undercover Polk deputies. Judd says Greaves even signed the book. “He very proudly sold us his personal copy,” Judd told the Associated Press. “I was outraged by the content. It was clearly a manifesto on how to sexually batter children … You just can’t believe how absolutely disgusting it was.”

Police hope the photo display will generate new tips from the public.

The LAPD hopes that family or friends will help identify the women and contact detectives.

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — The LAPD released images of 180 women taken by the alleged ” Grim Sleeper” on Thursday in the hope that family or friends will recognize them and contact authorities. In July, when Los Angeles police arrested Lonnie Franklin Jr., the man accused of being the notorious “Grim Sleeper” serial killer, they searched his South L.A. home for incriminating evidence and found nearly 1,000 still photographs and hours of video showing women, almost all of them partly or completely nude and striking sexually graphic poses.

Detectives have spent months trying to identify the women to determine whether they are alive and to learn how they came to be photographed by a man charged with sexually assaulting and killing 10 women during a crime spree that spanned two decades.  The attempt has proved fruitless prompting the LAPD to release the images of 180 women in the hope that family or friends will identify them and contact investigators.

Vacaville police arrest teen in sexual assault, stabbing of 13-year-old girl, baby

VACAVILLE, CA – Police arrested a 14-year-old boy who allegedly broke into a home, sexually assaulted and stabbed a 13-year-old girl and stabbed her 18-month-old brother while they were home alone early Sunday morning. Vacaville police received a 911 call from a residence on the 1200 block of Balsam Way around 2:30 a.m. Sunday, said police spokesman Sgt. Mark Donaldson. The 13-year-old girl told police she and her younger brother had been stabbed. She fled her house to call for help from a neighbor’s house.

“To have the presence of mind, with the multiple stab wounds that she had, and the presence of mind to take her brother, get out of the house and take her cell phone with her, to call the police – a courageous young lady and she saved both of their lives,” said Vacaville police officer Dennis Crouse.
