Mom gets up, kills baby, hides body, goes back to sleep

Her beauty sleep was more important than her 1-year-old

Anyone with a kid under age 5 is going to tell you how sleep does not come easy. Your kid cries and you must get up and dry her eyes. A cough heard through the monitor is enough to rattle you out of a deep sleep.

Tending to your child night and day is something good parents do. Sleeping through a child crying is something most good parents cannot do, which is something our latest Mean Mom realized, so she did what she had to to catch some much-needed Zs.

She killed her baby, of course.

After beating her poor, little 1-year-old baby boy to death because he was crying in his crib, she hid his body in some nearby bushes, and then did what came natural: She went back to bed.

The story she told police was ridiculous. Last time she saw the boy was at 10:30 the night before, when she put him to bed, implying that she did not check on him all night. In fact, she claimed that she did not realize he was missing until 11 a.m. the next morning, which is when she woke up.

Maybe if she put her child to bed a little earlier, he would have slept a little better. Maybe not, but hey worth a shot. It kind of makes sense to keep a later schedule, especially since this Mean Mom obviously liked to sleep late herself, but I do not know any 1-year-old that will sleep past 9 a.m. no matter when bedtime is.

No prior abuse was detected, which makes this seem like a one-time failure, but what a huge failure it was. Friends of hers cannot believe she did it. But she did. She killed her baby, lied about it and let a team of 100 officers search for him even though she knew where his tiny body lay.

I'm glad she was able to grab a full eight that night. I hear that the sleeping in jail is not even that good. She will find that out soon enough.

Running a child to death

These two are in training for worst grandmother and stepmother of the year

Now, I've heard of top athletes keeling over in the middle of a marathon, but not 9-year-old girls dying from running. But this girl's death happened under special circumstances. Sick, inconceivable, special circumstances.

Apparently, this 9-year-old's grandmother and stepmother thought that lying about eating candy was worth her life. As punishment for cleaning out the candy cabinet and saying she did not, this Alabama girl was forced to run. And run and run and run. No water, no stopping — until she literally fell over after having a seizure three hours later. She died a few days later at a local children's hospital. An autopsy revealed extreme dehydration and low sodium levels.

It is just me, or is this cruel and unusual punishment to the max? I'm a runner. I actually like running, but I know at least 10 people off the top of my head who don't. I certainly would not — scratch that, could not — run for three hours without weeks and weeks and weeks of training. Now, looking at this mean duo, I can be pretty sure they fall into the non-runner group, which does not give them the excuse of ignorance. Not to mention it looks like the little girl needed that candy more than they did.

A pathologist ruled her death a homicide, and both her grandmother and stepmother were arrested.

Sadly, before the 911 call was placed, a few concerned neighbors called the sheriff's office to express their concern over the girl's running. One man saw her running around 4 p.m. (the 911 call went in at 6:45. I can't believe they let this poor girl run after sundown), and he is quoted as saying, "But I don't see how that would kill her."

No water for you

No (grand)child left behind

This one kind of makes sense, but not really

I can see how this grandmother turned mother was heartbroken over the loss of two sons  — one died in Iraq in a dispute over alcohol, not as a casualty of war —and possibly suffering from depression, or worse. I can't see how you think killing your 7-year-old granddaughter/daughter in such a horrible way as BEING BURNED ALIVE is better than "leaving her behind."

She did try and ease the girls pain a bit by STABBING HER IN THE CHEST (???) before she torched their house. Unfortunately, it was not enough to kill her before the smoke and flames overtook her. The 63-year-old mean mom left a note, keys to her house, her will and other personal effects that she thought were worth being found on and in her truck, so she had obviously planned this for a while.

I just don't get the selfishness of taking this little girl with her on her journey to hell. Finding her a decent place to live, possibly with a more loving and less effed up relative, would have been the way to go instead of subjecting her to this violent end.

Come with me honey ...

Mom kills newborn twins on purpose

Whoa, this chick is harsh

I know that the story comes out of a city that is a state, too, but that doesn't give this mean mom the right to stash her dead newborns in the trunk of her car.

Thankfully, this 22-year-old Huxley, Iowa mom was arrested and charged with first-degree murder for killing her newborn twins. She admits to doing it on purpose. An observant co-worker notices the gal came to work one day looking like a fat cat, and the next like a deflated balloon, so she called the police, who uncovered her filthy act.

Holy cow.

At least most insane mean moms try and lie, but not this one, so it is good to hear they are taking her for the full ride and she does not get to plead any of that temporary insanity crap.

If she is convicted, which looks pretty good from the preliminary info I have heard, she will spend the rest of her life in jail. That is good for her and good for Iowa. 

Iowa is a state that has a Safe Haven Act, which means these babies could have been adopted into a caring, loving home with no problem. Yet this mean mom decided that no one was capable of taking care of these sweet girls as well as she, so she offed them, hid them and went about her business. Maybe after reading about her, more moms of unwanted babes will think twice before doing anything so brash.

Of course, we all hope this hopeless woman is one in a million.

Double disaster

The Meanest Moms attack of the meddling millions

Oh my, one million moms strong, and they are all wrong


This is taken directly from the One Million Moms Website. It is filed under, "Issue Details." First paragraph.

Recently JC Penney announced that comedian Ellen Degeneres will be the company's new spokesperson. Funny that JC Penney thinks hiring an open homosexual spokesperson will help their business when most of their customers are traditional families. More sales will be lost than gained unless they replace their spokesperson quickly. Unless JC Penney decides to be neutral in the culture war then their brand transformation will be unsuccessful.

I would edit this as such:

JC Penny thinks hiring a lesbian won't drive us away. Yes it will. Please remove the gays from your store. I need to browse an try like I've always done before.

OK, I know mine is much more eloquent, and no matter what the message there, my message here is a person is a person is a person. Whether they are big or small, black, brown or magenta, wet, dry or loose, they still have brains, feelings and emotions. 


To not realize you must treat everyone equal in this day and age is ignorance. Still, to each HIS own. 


Find a link to the One Million Moms website where the issue is described directly below. And below that click on a link to a YaHoo news article that describes what is going on. It also is a good demonstration of what "normal" America thinks of this.


Ellen CANNONT sell skinny jeans.


Oh, yes she can.

BAD DAD UPDATE

OK, so every once in a while a horrific dad catches our eye and makes us want to post.

Introducing Mr. I-am-going-to-impregnate-my-daughter-not-once-but-twice.

Yikes. And he only got six years in prison. Seems like 666 would have been more appropraite.

I can't find the original story, but here is a link to the synapsis  at thestir.com:

Rape is NOT the best way to educate your child

If this 37-year-old Australian mother is raping her 11-year-old daughter to educate her about sex, I shudder to think what she has done to teach her other three kids about life. Cut off a finger to demonstrate how sharp a knife is? Let the kids play in the street to teach them how hard a car can hit?

A judge says that this mean mom should be jailed for four years. That is it. Really?

So taping your own child (I stress that she is a child. Only 11 years old) being raped BY YOU, her mom, the one person she trusts no matter what (no gives back. Seriously.) and leading her to believe it is benefiting her (sex) education is a minor offence, eh? Well, I guess the mom would rather she start her daughter early, because she herself didn't get pregnant until 16, and that was after being with  the father since she was 14.

True love. How sweet.
