Rampant Abuse and Murders of Children
Father of the Year -- Philadelphia

Maurice Phillips, 30, was waving one of his guns around in the house on Saturday and it went off.

There were seven children in the home.

The bullet hit his 4-year-old daughter ^ Tahirah Phillips in the back of the head and killed her instantly. RIP.

So........Maurice bust into action to cover his ass He punched his 5-year-old in the face with a closed fist, smeared blood on the 5-year-old's shirt and blamed/punished the 5-year-old for killing his sibling.

Phillips then called his live-in fiancee. After she arrived, he changed his clothes and fled. Police who arrived at the scene actually believed that the 5-year-old had killed Tahirah and put out press releases to that effect while they were searching for the father in order to interview him.

Several hours later, Maurice Phillips turned himself in to police. After homicide investigators "broke down his story," Phillips confessed he had accidentally shot the girl, according to Captain James Clark.

Phillips has been charged with third-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, child endangerment, reckless endangerment and related counts.

^ Anna Ritchie is accused of putting her 4-year-old stepson Austin into a 130 degree (F) bath as punishment because the little boy didn't want to take a bath.

Austin's skin was blistered, bleeding, and peeling off when she put pajamas on him and put him to bed at 4:30 p.m.. He was dead the next morning.

She faces six charges including murder, felonious assault and child endangering.

Austin's dad, Robert Ritchie (^ pictured above with Austin) said he called 911 when he found the boy dead in the morning. He then went on to start a campaign to raise awareness of child abuse, selling decals and claiming he had no idea Austin had been hurt by his wife.

Well, an Ohio grand jury just indicted Robert Ritchie of involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment. Prosecutors allege that Ritchie did in fact know that his son was blistered and bleeding and didn't call for help for 15 hours -- they say that Austin would have had a 95% chance of surviving if he'd gotten medical attention.

The Ritchies only had custody of little Austin because Austin's mom did not show up for a court hearing. Prosecutors believe Anna Ritchie resented being the boy's caregiver.

I would like to see these two put in scalding hot water until their skin pulls off. RIP Austin.

Another small child abducted by a friend of the family.

I was hoping 5-year-old ^ Alayna Ertl would be found alive with 25-year-old Zachary T. Anderson.

An amber alert was issued after her mother discovered Alayna, Anderson, and Alayna's dad's truck missing from the family home when she woke up at 8 a.m Saturday morning. Anderson worked with Alayna's dad Matt Ertl and had stayed over on Friday night, as he had occasionally in the past.

[Image: andersonZachary2.jpg?w=263]
The truck taken by Anderson ^ contained Matt Erl's cell phone, which pinged in Todd County at about 9 a.m. Saturday morning and police searched the area.

Eight hours later, about 4:20 p.m. on Saturday, authorities found the missing truck, but no one was inside it, or in a cabin on the property.

Using canine helpers, authorities tracked Anderson to a wooded area a quarter mile from the cabin.

Anderson, unarmed, did not flee or resist arrest. He provided information that led to police to Alayna’s body. She was in a swampy area a few hundred yards from the cabin.

Anderson has no criminal record. He was arrested on homicide charges and no motive or details have yet been provided.

RIP Alayna Ertl. 42

They had a few more details on this ^ last night on the local news.

First and foremost, quit referring to this monster as a 'family friend'. I'm positive a friend would never do anything like this.

Secondly, if there hadn't been a cell phone left in the pickup truck, authorities would never have been able to track his whereabouts.

While that didn't save the little girl, it at least allowed authorities to apprehend him nearly in the act.

Where he was discovered is just a short distance from Lake Itasca. Pretty remote up there.

The dogs that assisted did not have any scent to work off of, but somehow they smelled him nearly a quarter mile from the cabin (owned by his parents).

Finally, when we as a society have nabbed a piece of scum like this red-handed, why can't we agree that we simply put this piece of garbage down immediately?

At 26 years old, it's realistic to assume that we will now house and feed him for another 60 years. We'll provide medical care.

We'll keep him out of general population for his own good.

What a joke.

He took someone's daughter.

Sexually assaulted her.

Murdered her.

Was caught in the act.

There's no question about his guilt.

He needs to be executed.

^ I understand why it's frustrating to hear the piece of shit referred to as 'a family friend' MS, even though the family did consider Anderson a friend before they learned better. He worked and played softball with Alayna's dad.

I think the family and the media may want to make it clear that the parents didn't just let some random acquaintance stay overnight with a child in the house. But, you're right, Anderson is a predator who fooled them and turned out to be anything but a friend.

It sounds like a stroke of luck for investigators that Alayna's dad's cell phone happened to be in the truck Anderson stole to abduct Alayna. Anderson's dad reportedly helped too. The latest reporting indicates that when he heard the news (about four hours after the amber alert), he called police and told them that he thought his son was the suspect and that Anderson had asked to use the family cabin about 80 miles north. That's where LE found Anderson, a short distance from the wooded swamp where he dumped Alayna's body.

What Anderson did was heinous. In addition to raping and strangling Alayna, she had blunt force trauma to the head according to the preliminary autopsy report. He was charged in Cass County District Court with multiple counts including murder, sexual assault, kidnapping and theft of a motor vehicle.

His bail was set at $2 million, or $1 million with conditions. He'll get a chance to plea or go to trial, as is his right. No chance of a death sentence in Minnesota, but his chances of ever walking free again are slim to none and his life will hopefully be a living hell in prison.

^ Victoria Martens was killed in her Albuquerque apartment home on Tuesday, hours before her 10th birthday.

Three scumbags are charged with child abuse resulting in death. They reportedly injected Victoria with meth, raped her, stabbed her to death, and cut up her body.

[Image: Three-640x218.jpg]
^ The suspects: Victoria's mother Michelle Martens - 35 (left), mom's new boyfriend Fabio Gonzales - 31 (center), and Gonzales' cousin Jessica Kelley - 31 (right).

Turns out, Gonzales was supposed to be on supervised probation for assaulting his former girlfriend while she was driving with their small daughter in 2015.

He took a plea deal which resulted in a suspended sentence in favor of two years of alcohol/drug treatment, random drug testing, and surprise home visits by probation officers until February 2017.

Maddeningly, none of that happened because the department of corrections contends they never got the paperwork from the court and thus did not have any record that Gonzales should have been assigned a probation officer. 36 An investigation is underway.

RIP Victoria Martens. 42

This is incredible. After 27 years, Jacob Wetterling's remains have been found.

Jacob Wetterling's mother Patty said the remains of her son have been found.

"Our hearts are broken. I am not responding to any media yet as I have no words," Patty Wetterling wrote in a text message to KARE 11.

No one has been arrested or charged in his abduction.

But last fall, authorities took another look at the case, and were led to Danny Heinrich, a man they called a "person of interest" in Jacob's kidnapping.

Officials charged Heinrich with possessing child pornography after gathering evidence during a search they said was related to the Wetterling case.

Heinrich denied any involvement in Jacob's abduction, and was not charged with that crime. But he has pleaded not guilty to several federal child pornography charges.

A law enforcement source told The Associated Press on Saturday that Heinrich took authorities to a field last week and remains and other evidence were recovered. The source spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing case. The source did not confirm whether the remains are Jacob's.

I know these stories are hard to read; I feel the same. But, this thread was important to LC and I want to keep it going. I agree with her about the importance of remembering the victims and being aware of what kind of predators are out there.

Warning -- this one is majorly fucked up, extremely saddening and maddening.

^ 10-month-old Emmaleigh Barringer died yesterday in West Virginia. RIP angel.

On Monday night, Emmaleigh was found barely clinging to life by her mother, Amanda Adkins. Adkins called 911 and Emmaleigh was rushed to the hospital, but she was brain dead.

Police said the mother was not accused of wrongdoing and her other children were unharmed. Their investigation quickly led them to mom's boyfriend, who her family claims swept her off of her feet a couple of months ago and acted like Prince Charming.

That's ^ the complete fucking waste of space who police say violently raped Emmaleigh, punched her in the face, and left her bleeding to death in the dark on the basement floor of his girlfriend's apartment.

He's reportedly a father, 32-years-old, has burglary and probation violation convictions, and looks quite different in various photos.

Taylor's story changed multiple times when he was questioned. His current story is that he remembers taking the baby to the basement to do laundry, but then blacked-out and can't remember anything.

A federal petition to publicly hang Benjamin Taylor has been circulated and is garnering a lot of signatures.

Taylor is in jail in Jackson County (West Virginia) on $2,000,000 bond.

That POS Taylor should have his ugly teeth slowly pulled out one at a time.

Then slowly gouge out his eyes one at a time.

Then lastly slowly cut off his weiner with a dull knife!

Now he's ready to be put in jail for life! SOB!

Kayla Gomez-Orozco, 10, vanished from a Texas church last Tuesday. An Amber Alert was issued in the region and a $60,000 reward was offered for her return.

According to an affidavit, a witness at the church saw Kayla leave with her uncle Gustavo Zavala-Garcia and his 3-year-old daughter. Zavala-Garcia was questioned and claimed that Kayla went back into the church to wait for her family, which didn't check out.

That led Smith County LE to Zavala-Garcia's property on Saturday. Sadly, Kayla's body was found in a water well near his home, which was also near the church where Kayla was last seen.

Police have not charged Zavala-Garcia in his niece's death. Instead, he's being held without bond on an immigration hold while authorities "develop and perfect a criminal investigation."

In a Facebook post, Smith County Sheriff Larry Smith applauded his staff's valiant effort to find Kayla. "Great teamwork. The only regret is that we were too late," he wrote.

RIP Kayla.42

8-year-old Sabrina Stauffenberg was waiting on her front porch for a ride to church early last Wednesday evening.

She reportedly called her grandma when the bus was late and her grandma called the church and then tried to call Sabrina back, no answer. Grandma called Sabrina's aunt and uncle who looked everywhere for her. She was nowhere to be found and they reported her missing.

Her body was found later that same night in an open area behind a business on the south side of Olney. She'd been raped and suffocated. RIP Sabrina. 42

Glenn R. Ramey, 53, of Olney, reportedly dated one of Sabrina's cousins in the past. He has a long criminal record and history of disturbing incidents with women and children. Ramey was arrested and charged on Sunday night.

The fucking piece of shit is charged with first degree murder and predatory sexual assault. His bond was set at $10 million.

It pisses me off that he has a record of disturbing incidents with children. I guess that's just the way it's going to stay, they're going to keep allowing these scumbags out of jail until they finally kill a kid.

^ Tony Moreno (21) was disgruntled over a separation with his son's mom and over sharing custody. So, the piece of shit sacrificed his son to make mom pay. He jumped off the bridge too, but was unfortunately saved by rescue workers.

Snipped

UPDATE:
Moreno testified in his own defense and claimed he accidentally dropped the baby off the bridge and wasn't intending to harm little Aaden.

Fortunately, the jury didn't buy his tale and convicted him yesterday.

Moreno faces 70 years in prison.
