RE: Rampant Abuse and Murders of Children
A Florida mom was arrested after she allegedly put her seven-week-old baby under scalding-hot water as a form of punishment for his excessive crying, MyFoxTampaBay.com reports.
The station identifies the woman as Chekayla Dampier, from Port Richey, Fla. Dampier allegedly ran the water from the tap in her bathroom and held the baby under for two to three minutes, a spokesman Pasco Sheriff's Office said.
Dampier then brought the baby to a local clinic to be treated for burns, but the extent of injuries were so severe that the baby was transported by helicopter to Tampa General Pediatric Burn Unit, authorities said.
According to the complaint obtained by FoxNews.com, the baby suffered burns to the eyes, ears, head, chest and arms. The extent of damage has not been determined and the baby remains in critical condition, authorities said.
Dampier admitted to placing the baby in an infant wash tub and running the water, the complaint said. She demonstrated placing the baby's head directly under the spout and turning on the hot water, the complaint said.
She admitted that when she dried the baby, his skin was coming off and other parts of his skin was bubbling, the complaint said.
Sheriff's forensics took the temperature of the hot water and it registered at 142 degrees
Dampier faces aggravated child abuse charges over the alleged incident and is being held on $150,000 bond.
edit friday, baby still critical. :(

Police: Mom Planned Son's Drowning
Ashley Cameron Charged With Murder
April 20, 2012
ONAWA, Iowa -- An Iowa mother is accused of forcing her son's head under a bathtub faucet, drowning the 15-month old.
Onawa police said they believe Ashley Cameron, 25, planned the whole thing.
Cameron is charged with first-degree murder and is being held on $1 million bond stemming from the February drowning of Markis Dahms.
Investigators said Cameron held her son's head under the faucet until he couldn't breathe, but her friend maintains Cameron is innocent.
It's the first murder case in Onawa in nearly 40 years.
The Iowa State Medical Examiner's Office conducted an autopsy on the boy and determined the cause of death to be drowning and the manner of death as homicide.
"He was in the bathtub. His head was under the faucet. His mouth and nasal cavity filled with water," said special agent Mitch Mortvedt.
Onaway police believe Cameron deliberately held Dahms underwater.
Authorities said Cameron called 911 and told dispatchers that Dahms wasn't breathing.
"When she moved in, she was all confused. We took her under our wing. She's been like one of my kids," said neighbor Rita Poole.
Poole said she knows Cameron well and baby-sat for her.
"Knowing her, it might've been done accidentally, but there's no way it was deliberate. No way," Poole said.
Cameron lived in her Onawa home with two children. Abigail is 2 years old, and she was taken away in the first week of the investigation.
Authorities said Abigail is with family now.
"I want it to get back to as normal as possible. I want her to get her daughter back," Poole said.
Barbara Jessing, of the Heartland Family Services, said if anyone has concerns about a parent, they need to speak up.
"What we know about parents in child maltreatment is it often happens in conjunction. (There are) two things that are really prominent. One is high stress in parents' lives, and the other is isolation," Jessing said. "I think we have to be willing to say something, even if it's difficult to express our concern."
Every year, authorities said 16 states are surveyed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for violent crime numbers, but Iowa and Nebraska are not among them.
However, the CDC said that between 2005 and 2009, there were 427 children between birth and 4 years of age in those states who died at the hands of their parents.
Poole said she can't believe Cameron would do this intentionally.
"I'm devastated. Absolutely devastated. But I don't believe for a minute that girl did anything to hurt her baby," said Poole.
Cameron was in the Monona County Jail being held on $1 million cash bond Thursday night. She's expected in court again in two weeks.

RE: Rampant Abuse and Murders of Children
another trailer-trash piece of garbage whore mother brings her boyfriend in. i don't have her photo.
A babysitter has been charged with murder after he allegedly slammed a toddler he was looking after into a wall.
Jarrod Rudder, 24, grabbed two-year-old Michael Pulliam by the wrist and smacked the child off a wall and lamp causing multiple broken bones and a brain bleed.
Rudder is the boyfriend of the child's mother Amanda Howell and had been living with them at their trailer park home in Elkville, Illinois.
He had been caring for the toddler and his one-year-old brother while Howell was at work.
Paramedics were called to the home on Friday evening in the rural town where they found the boy unconscious.
Michael was taken to hospital in Carbondale before being flown to St Louis Children's Hospital, 90 miles away.
The child later died from his injuries on Sunday evening.
Family members said that they had called social services about Amanda Howell, who has two other children, in the past.
one of her children was taken away in 2008. Her other one-year-old son has now been removed from the home.

RE: Rampant Abuse and Murders of Children
This is sad.....
Daily Mail - A horrified father returned home from work to find his two young children dead after seemingly being smothered and his wife had apparently tried to slit both her wrists.
A 10-week-old baby boy and a one-year-old girl were later pronounced dead after investment banker Jeff Boots made frantic efforts to save them before raising the alarm.
Police arrived at the £1.2million family home, in a well-heeled area of Wandsworth, south London, and arrested Felicia Boots, who did not require treatment despite apparently trying to harm herself.
She is now being held over the deaths of 14-month-old Lily and her baby son. She is being questioned by detectives, who are understood to be investigating the possibility that she was suffering from post-natal depression.
Mr Boots was heard crying out as he returned to his home to find his two children dead.
The young family from Canada had bought the smart five-bedroom £1.2million home just a few days ago in an affluent area nicknamed Nappy Valley because young professionals like to move there to raise children.
Their property, spread over three floors, boasts four bathrooms, has a 45ft back garden and is situated close to Wandsworth Common.
Mrs Boots worked as a hair stylist in her native Canada, but turned to creating her own designer jewellery from her home-based studio under the name 'Pink Tangerine' after moving to London.
Neither of the children had any visible injuries and it is believed they may have been smothered to death. A post-mortem examination was due to take place to establish the cause of death.
Neighbours saw the dark-haired mother being put into a police car by an officer who had an arm around her at around 10.30pm last night.
A neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said that she did not know the family well but had seen the father walking the family dog down the street.
She said: 'I heard him last night, he was obviously upset, it was not really sobbing, but I don't really want to say what I heard.
'It was just after 7pm, the man I heard had a north American accent, it was quite loud obviously as I could hear it.
'I had never seen the mother, they had only just moved in it was too soon to get to know them.'
Another near neighbour told MailOnline: 'The family had moved into the home around 10 days ago and the property still has a sold sign outside.
'The couple were aged in their 30s and they had a pet dog. They arrived with their stuff in vans over a couple of days.
'They had not yet introduced themselves to their neighbours so had not been properly welcomed into our close-knit community.
'Since the family moved into the area we have not seen much of them in the street but were looking forward to meeting them. They seemed like a typical middle-class couple.'
The man added that police and forensic officers were working inside the smart white-painted home until the early hours of the morning.
'The woman was put into a police car by an officer with his arm around her. She is a dark-haired woman of average height and had obviously recently given birth,' he added.
'Initially there had been just one police car but then ambulances and forensics arrived on the scene and we realised something was seriously wrong.
'Everyone was worried about what happened and it is a terrible tragedy.'
The estate agents who sold the property described it as a 'beautifully refurbished' family home with planning permission for a wine store, further bedroom and en suite bathroom.
Forensic officers are working on the scene and detectives are carrying out house-to-house inquiries in the area as a murder investigation gets underway.
Police said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
Friends of Felicia have written on her website that she is a highly-talented and creative jeweller.
Derek Selby, director of training and development Schwarzkopf Professional, said: 'Felicia is a creative genius. She uses logic to create, but doesn't let it limit her options.
'She can create a simple elegant look for a classic business woman or something so fashion forward for a trendy street kid, it's six months ahead of it's time. Her technical knowledge paired with her creativity allows her to customize something special for every one.'
Peter Kyriacou, owner of Peter Penny's Hair and Beauty in London, said: 'I have had the pleasure of working alongside Felicia for the last four years. Along with being attentive and unassuming, Felicia is very creative and multitalented; this making her a very special artist.'
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: 'Inquiries are underway after the death of two children in Wandsworth.
'Police were called to an address at 7.25pm on Wednesday 9 May.
'The ambulance service also attended but a 10-week old boy and a one-year old girl were pronounced dead at the scene.
'A post-mortem examination will take place in due course. Next of kin are aware.
'A woman in her mid-30s was arrested in connection with the incident. She is currently in custody at a south London police station.
'Detectives from the Child Abuse Investigation Command are leading the investigation, and inquiries continue into the full circumstances of the incident.'
A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said there was nothing they could do to save the children.
He said: 'At just before 7.30pm last night we were called to an address in Wandsworth, south London.
'We sent three ambulance crews, a motorcycle responder and a duty officer but sadly two infants were pronounced dead at the scene.
'No one was taken to hospital or treated at the scene.'

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

RE: Rampant Abuse and Murders of Children
this isn't going to be SIDS. :(
WGN News
CHICAGO—
A death investigation is underway after 5-month-old twins were found dead in a home in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood.
The twins’ father, Josue Romero says his wife, Victoria, found their twins, who were a week shy of turning 6-months-old, dead Thursday morning in the crib the infants shared. He said their mother had tried and failed to revive them and appeared to be in a state of shock when he returned from taking the couple's other children to school.
“I came home and I saw my children like that, and my wife, startled,” said Romero. “She didn't know what to do. She's trying to give my kids some mouth to mouth and then when I checked the babies they were blue.”
The couple has four other children, between the ages of 1 and 5.
The Dept of Children and Family Services says it began investigating the home in March of last year with what it considered a credible allegation of abuse against an older child in the home. Counseling and homemaking support began the following June. Then last month, there was a neglect complaint involving the babies, Julian and Giselle.
Autopsies were inconclusive."pending further studies"
