My sister agrees with me. The baggage can't be so bad: I have never been arrested, no DUI's, no suicide attempts, I'm ok. But thanks.<BR/><BR/>3. Actually, I was on the attorney panel at the Children's Court of LA County for two years representing people like this, so yes, I get it. I'm very lucky. There's a strange sense of sureal wonder to having a 12 year old boy explain to you why it is not right to hold a boy down and fuck him in the ass, a quote.fred chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812811681270634366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058711831772256734.post-10004196901340330692008-06-15T18:40:00.000-07:002008-06-15T18:40:00.000-07:00The mother of a 5-year-old-boy and her live-in gir...The mother of a 5-year-old-boy and her live-in girlfriend have been arrested in connection with what authorities describe as "unbearable physical and psychological abuse" of the child, police said Saturday.<BR/><BR/>The mother, Starkeisha Brown, 24, turned herself in to the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th Street Division station late Friday night after officers made a public plea for help in finding the women and released their pictures. Brown was being held without bail on charges of torture.<BR/><BR/>The other woman, Krystal Matthews, 21, was arrested Saturday by detectives when she showed up for her appointment at the county Department of Children and Family Services. She was being held on $100,000 bail on charges of willful harm or injury to a child.<BR/><BR/>Police said both women have a history of violence.<BR/><BR/>The boy, who was in guarded condition at a local hospital, was rescued Monday by a stranger who found him abandoned and called authorities.<BR/><BR/>On that same day, the two women had an appointment with the Department of Children and Family Services and had brought the healthy child of a mutual friend and tried to pass him off as Brown's son.<BR/><BR/>Police said the women routinely beat the boy, forced him to put his hands on a hot stove, burned his body and genitals with cigarettes and often would not let him eat or drink.<BR/><BR/>At a news conference Friday, LAPD Assistant Chief Jim McDonnell said that because of the burns from the stove, the boy no longer can open his hands.<BR/><BR/>Lt. Vincent Neglia of the LAPD's Abused Child Unit said in a statement Saturday that the abuse was "akin to a level of torture we hope our military personnel would never encounter."<BR/><BR/>Residents in the South Los Angeles neighborhood where the boy lived said Saturday that they were shocked to hear of the child's treatment and disgusted by the abuse allegations against the mother and girlfriend.<BR/><BR/>"I never knew a parent could do something like this. It was just a shock," said Mary Williams, 68, who lives in an apartment complex adjacent to where neighbors said Brown and Matthews live in the 11000 block of Figueroa Street.<BR/><BR/>Williams' 9-year-old grandson saw the boy often, and occasionally the two played together.<BR/><BR/>"How could you just do this and run off and leave him?" she said. "I hurt for that baby."<BR/><BR/>(AND YOU THOUGHT *YOU* HAD A SHITTY CHILDHOOD!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058711831772256734.post-31168350314380024592008-06-15T08:25:00.000-07:002008-06-15T08:25:00.000-07:00Too bad you carry so much baggage it must make lif...Too bad you carry so much baggage it must make life hard.
