Abuse Happening at Home

Man Allegedly Abuses His 44 Day Old Daughter

Being a mother, I can not imagine ever hurting my child. When you have children, they become your everything. They are and always will be the most important thing in your life from the day you find out you’re expecting until you leave this earth, they are everything. So as I write this blog post, it’s tearing me up to know how horrible some people are in this world. How can someone abuse a child?

A Valley man has been charged with one count of child abuse with intent. This was after his 44 day old daughter had suffered from brain bleeding as well as rib fractures, bruises, and hemorrhages. Granted accidents happen but this? How does a 44 day old baby get hurt this bad?

Child Injured While In Father’s Care

The little girl was in the care of her father at their home at the time of the injuries. According to the police the home was near 40th Street and Thomas Road.

Justin Allee is the identified suspect. According to the police report, Justin had called his mother and the child’s mother before he called the police to report the incident.

The report also said that Justin had at first, claimed that he had did nothing to cause the baby girl’s injuries. However, he later said that the injuries had happened after the baby had fell in the bathtub. Which is quite fishy, since a 44 day old baby should not be standing in a tub. They can’t stand at this age.

The report also stated that the girl’s mother had left for work and did not notice any injuries to her baby. She also told the police that Justin had initially called her to say that the baby wasn’t breathing before he called her back to say he was in the ambulance with the young girl.

Man Charges With Killing Grandmother Over House Rules

On Friday a man pleaded guilty for killing his grandmother last year. He brutally beat her with a shovel and then slit her throat. All of this because of some strict house rules which were curfew rules and how much he had to pay her for rent.

Apparently the man has a violent past. According to the Maricopa County Prosecutors, Jason Eric Howell had also pleaded guilty to child abuse as well as aggravated assault charges for another case he was involved in. The sentencing for that will be this coming July 1st.

Forty year old Jason Howell, was at first charged with “first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, hindering prosecution, and abandoning a body”.

The court records show that Jason had told the police that he had first tried to kill his grandmother, Helen Jean Lee who was seventy-eight years old, in her sleep. However he stopped when she woke up.

Not but a couple days later, Jason then attacked his grandmother with a shovel. He then violently slit her throat. Afterwards he disposed of her body in the desert.

On November 2, Jason led the investigators straight to his grandmother’s corpse.

Jason’s Grandmother was Missing for Days

Someone had reported the elderly woman missing just days before they found the body. When they went to the grandmother’s home they found a “bloody crime scene” inside of the house.

The police were not strangers to Jason’s home, they had been out on a few calls there before for Jason had hallucinations and “erratic behavior and violent tendencies” that the police had to respond to.

On the same day that his grandmother was reported missing, Jason was arrested on several charges which include: assaulting a police officer as well as kidnapping.

Phoenix Domestic Violence Cases

Abuse Happening at Home

Phoenix Woman Pleads Guilty to Murder

You know, every couple fights. Sure, everyone feels like they could “shoot” their spouse but no one actually does it. Except for maybe one Phoenix woman. She pleaded guilty to second degree murder. She fatally shot her husband in their home.

Thirty-one year old, Amanda Lynn Miller told the Phoenix Police that she shot her thirty-six year old husband, Jesus Nevarez-Galindo. She was trying to leave their home as it was filling up with smoke from a fire. He had set the kitchen on fire.

Court documents showed that police counted seven wounds in the man’s body. Miller told the police that the situation began as an argument over financial issues and lack of food in the house broke out. Sure makes sense. Hungry. Let’s catch the kitchen on fire.

Apparently the couple had quite the history of domestic violence.

Woman Suffers From Sexual Abuse

A young woman of only eighteen years old has suffered from serious injures as she was beaten, burned, and sexually assaulted and forced to drink bleach. This was after she reportedly refused to sell drugs for a man.

Twenty-five year old, Johnel Henry Thomas has now been booked into jail for one count of each sexual assault as well as kidnapping, unlawful means of transportation, as well as six counts of aggravated assault.

The court documents stated that the victim was taken to Mr. Thomas’ apartment in West Phoenix. She was taken there by another female and possible suspect.

After she was in his apartment, Mr. Thomas allegedly beat her as well as tortured the poor young girl. She recieved a broken arm, smashed hands, burns all over her body from a hot knife and swords, burns from the bleach being poured over her as well as bruises all over her body from hammer blows.  This poor girl, I can’t imagine what she suffered.

Violence Reported

The report also said that the police had stated that the victim had still had a belt around her neck when she was found by the police officers. There were also marks on her neck, ankles and wrists from her being restrained. She was also sexually assaulted, which also caused even more injuries.

Luckily a neighbor saw Mr. Thomas and another man dragging the eighteen year old girl into the suspect’s apartment and heard her please for help. The neighbor called 911.

When the officers had arrived to the scene the front and back doors were open to the apartment. Thomas was later located by the police in a stolen vehicle.

According to the report, when Thomas had seen the officers, he fled the scene, naked and out the back door. The victim was also naked as she walked from the back door. She was walking to the front of the complex to find the officers for help.

Domestic Abuse

Police said that she was understandably hysterical. She was telling them about the suspect pouring bleach on her and making her drink it. Officers were able to pour some water on the young woman and tried to get the bleach out of her eyes and off of her body.

The victim was later taken to the hospital for treatment. She told the medical staff that she had been sexually assaulted and the staff has confirmed that her injures match what she said.

As the police searched the apartment, they found a number of knives as well as swords and empty bleach bottle as well as two hammers.

When Mr. Thomas was interviewed by the investigators, he had told them that a female friend had “assaulted the victim inside the apartment” . However, he did admit to “having sex” with the victim. Another man was also taken into custody. He had told the investigators that he was in the apartment during some of the assault, however after his arrest he denied participating.

Police have said that the victim had severe burns. She even had to have surgery for her broken arm.

Domestic Child Abuse Cases

Domestic Child Abuse Cases

10 Year Old Boy Dies from Abuse

Child abuse is sadly becoming more and more common. It seems like every day there’s more and more child abuse cases on the news.

Now a ten year old boy has suffered from second and third degree burns thanks to his mother and her boyfriend. The little boy sadly died from his injuries.

Ten year old, Christian Pearson died at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. According to the Chino Valley Police Department, on Monday morning, thirty-four year old, Julianna Moreno and thirty-six year old, Daniel Terry are going to face charges of first degree murder.

Moreno and Terry were both arrested on Thursday for suspicion of attempted murder as well as child abuse and aggravated assault. This was after Christian was found with his burns on his back, extremities, torso, neck, head, along with extensive bruising. That poor little boy.

Police said that the evidence suggested that he was tied up and couldn’t flee when he got the injuries. Police were called about a child who wasn’t breathing.

Police said that Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority arrived tot he scene and performed the emergency treatment. The little boy was then flown to Phoenix Children’s Hospital where he sadly died later.

Police did report that Christian’s young life wasn’t wasted, his organs were donated. Christian’s paternal grandmother lives in Tucson said that the family had no fair warning about his death, there were no previous signs of abuse.

Phoenix Couple Arrested

Both Wendy and Kansas will now have a long road ahead of them. As should they, something is definitely off with their stories and if there was foul play with that poor baby’s life then they both definitely deserve whatever sentencing they get. Although, it kind of seems like Kansas is covering for Wendy?

If you were wondering why the investigation was ongoing it’s because  of  Wendy’s inconsistencies in her stories. Plus how and why did the dad have a gunshot wound to his upper arm? I guess we’ll just have to wait for the trial for the full details, if Wendy doesn’t confess before then so that she could get a lesser sentence.

Either way it’s sad that a young little boy lost his life due to someone’s carelessness or worse. Why is it always the kids that suffer the most? If you don’t want the kids put them up for adoption there’s families everywhere wanting a child.

Please, if you have a gun leave it unloaded and locked up where your kids or visiting kids can’t get to it. It’s never worth the risk. Why would she ever take that chance is beyond me. If you know someone that is careless with their firearms, maybe explain the worries and if they ignore you maybe tell your local authorities.

Spousal Abuse

Martial Dispute With Extreme Results

Spousal Abuse and Finance Equality

Few spouses or partners in a relationship oversee their finances equally.

One spouse invariably carries the heavy lifting in terms of managing investments, insurance, banking and so on. One partner might watch the budget and pay the bills. Perhaps one person safeguards the important documents and maintains the online accounts.

All that might be fine, but when one spouse or partner uses joint finances to control the other, that’s when serious problems can arise. Financial abuse, which can be tied in with physical violence, is a tool whereby one person in a relationship tries to subjugate the other through tactics to increase isolation and dependence.

One-quarter of all women will experience domestic violence over their lifetimes, said Vicky Dinges, a senior vice president at Allstate in suburban Chicago. Women are more likely to be victims than men. Financial-abuse tactics — such as stealing assets, withholding cash for basic needs, obsessive monitoring of the other person’s spending and even prohibiting his or her employment — occur in the vast majority of domestic-violence cases, Dinges said.

The Allstate Foundation supports a program called Purple Purse, which aims to raise awareness of financial and other types of abuse, while providing an online curriculum designed to empower victims. The curriculum and other information can be viewed at purplepurse.com.

Need help?

Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or TTY 1-800-787-3224.

Shannon Evans, a Phoenix woman in her early 40s, said she encountered both domestic violence and financial abuse, losing her life savings, home and other assets that she brought into a relationship.

Evans, who previously worked in the hospitality industry, said she was inspired to attend and complete law school after leaving the relationship. In retrospect, she wished she would have protected her personal assets and feels it’s important to keep premarital and personal funds separate. Evans suggests both partners maintain control of joint money and have equal access to all shared accounts. Having some credit cards and accounts in each person’s name can help avoid problems if one person starts withholding joint funds from the other.

She also recommends looking out for signs or conduct that can lead to financial abuse. If your partner acts secretively or tends to be angry, be cautious. And she suggests seeking the feedback of impartial friends and family members who might be in a position to observe red flags regarding a partner’s behavior.

Retirement: Financial abuse costs victims avg. $30,000

 Dinges Statement:

Victims often are withdrawn.Even getting to work can be a problem if the person doesn’t have a car or can’t afford a bus ticket,” she said. “It can snowball into a lot of things.

Evans said it can be a problem if one spouse doesn’t want to share information or discuss the couple’s finances. It also can be a red flag if one partner changes account passwords, hides or transfers joint money or insists on controlling certain assets such as checking accounts.

The Purple Purse curriculum helps women, and men, set financial goals, create budgets and understand the factors that affect credit scores, bank accounts and investments. The coursework also explains divorce, child support, name changes, how to recover documents that might have been compromised and other relevant topics.

Women trail in retirement preparation

Women have less money saved up for retirement, and feel less confident about it, than men. But marital status might be the more telling factor here than gender alone.

Higher percentages of both married men and married women say they have personally saved money for retirement (excluding mandatory Social Security deductions) than have single men and women, according to this year’s Retirement Confidence Survey from the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Spouses also are more likely to have Individual Retirement Accounts and workplace 401(k) plans than their single counterparts.

The differences become glaring when people report the amount of retirement savings they have accumulated. At the top end, 26 percent of married men said they have at least $250,000 in retirement assets, with 28 percent reporting less than $10,000 and the rest in between those ranges. Married women and unmarried men cluster somewhat lower down the asset scale. But unmarried women lag badly, with a whopping 64 percent of single women having accumulated less than $10,000 in retirement assets against just 5 percent above $250,000.

Women ahead in credit management

Women seem to be winning the gender financial battle in one area — paying bills on time and keeping a lid on debt.

So says Experian, the credit-reporting agency, which reported that women have an average credit score of 675 and $26,610 in average debt — defined as that for credit cards, auto loans and personal/student loans. Those figures compare with an average credit score of 670 and debt of $27,627 for men. The analysis is based on Vantage credit scores, for which the range is from 300 to 850.

Women on average have more open credit cards in their name but utilize a smaller proportion of available borrowing capacity. Also, women have lower mortgage amounts and are a bit less likely to be behind on payments.

Experian Expert, Michele Raneri’s Statement:

Men appear to be taking on a bit more than women, specifically when it comes to the homes and the cars they buy, which could be affecting their credit scores.

Women are more likely to buy functional, utilitarian vehicles, while men gravitate more toward sports cars and trucks, according to the research. In terms of home loans, men on average have mortgage-origination amounts of about $231,100, compared with $212,900 for women.

Officer Arrested for Abuse

A former San Pablo police officer was arrested Wednesday morning on felony domestic violence charges for a recent incident.

56-year-old ex-police commander Sidney DeJesus was taken into custody in Roseville early Wednesday after police spotted his car.

Police said DeJesus allegedly beat a woman at her home in Roseville Saturday, leaving her with bruises on her face.

They believe the two had been dating.

KPIX 5 interviewed DeJesus back in 2012 following a shooting in Vallejo.

He has since been released from jail on bond.

The San Pablo Police Department said he is no longer with the force.

Phoenix Domestic Abuse

Phoenix Domestic Abuse

Phoenix Principal and Wife Accused of Abuse

When you think of school, you think of safety. You don’t think of some one assaulting someone. However, according to reports, a Phoenix high school principal as well as his wife are both are accused of assault.

Ricardo Cordova is the principal at Carl Hayden High School.  Brisa Cordova, his wife is a teacher at Trevor Browne High School.

According to police their arrests come from a domestic violence issue at their home. They are now facing charges for misdemeanor assault.

Statement from Phoenix Union High School District:

“Phoenix Union is aware of the recent arrests. This is a police matter.  We will make the appropriate steps when and if necessary to address this issue internally, and ultimately make a decision that is in the best interest of our students, staff and community.”

Man is Dead After Domestic Abuse Call

A domestic abuse case can always turn pretty ugly, but one doesn’t usually end in death.

However, according to the police a man is dead after a car chase. The car chase stemmed from a domestic violence call in Sahuarita.

The man was identified as twenty-nine year old, Richard T. Herrera Jr. The Sahuarita Police Department said that the domestic violence call came in just a little before 11:30 on Saturday night. That’s when three officers went to the scene.

Police said that Herrera tried to run them over in a small car, however they since have rescinded that claim.

Herrera was accused of assaulting other people and being heavily intoxicated before beginning the chase.  The chase ended rather quickly, just five miles away in the 1300 block of Calle de la Plaza. Herrera had a gun and there were three officers were involved in the shooting. Luckily no officers were injuried but Herrera was pronounced dead at the scene.

 

News Release Statement:

Officers gave verbal commands for Herrera to raise his hands; however, he raised a loaded 9mm pistol, fired at least one shot while sitting in the driver’s seat. It’s unknown the exact direction the gun was pointed when it was fired, but Herrera then pointed the gun toward officers. Officers returned fire, striking Herrera. Herrera was the sole occupant of the car and there are no other outstanding suspects.

Child Abuse in Phoenix

Child Abuse in Phoenix

Child Abuse at Home

Child abuse, to me is one of the saddest form of abuse. A child did not ask to be born into an unfit atmosphere. There’s always adoption if you didn’t want or care for a child. Why on earth would you want to harm him or her?

An injury to a child at their home is being investigated by the Phoenix Police Department. The police say that a young child was injured at an apartment complex. The complex was near 44th Street and Baseline Road. The child was hurt around 5:45 in the evening.

The police describe the injured child as a “small child”. The child had to be taken to the local hospital due to the injury. The following day, the child was still in critical condition.

Some detectives from the “Phoenix Police Department’s Crimes Against Children Unit” is going to be investigating the case.

Police say that the father told the officers that he (the father) had a medical episode. During his episode he ended up taking the baby down with him.

Police Wait to Hear About Child’s Medical Analyst

Phoenix Police Sergeant, Vince Lewis, said that a doctor will be able to determine whether the injury is plausible or if it truly was a freak accident and the child ended up getting the “worse end of the deal”.

Sergeant Lewis says that if the child’s condition changes then the nature of the investigation will also change. However, for the time being, the investigation is staying as an injured person case.

Poor baby, we hope he or she makes a full recovery soon.

 

Horrible Case of Child Abuse

 

Police sadly see abuse cases almost daily, so when they say it’s one of the worst one’s they’ve seen you know it’s bad. Prepare yourself for a sad investigation ahead.

According to reports the mother of a three year old little girl had entrusted her friend with the care of her little girl are now behind bars. They are accused of committing “egregious acts of child abuse”. According to the Mesa’s police chief it’s one of the worst one’s the Mesa department has ever had to investigate.

Police say that the child was found on a Monday in a Mesa area home. She was hidden away in a trash bag, her little hands and feet was bound with duct tape. Her mouth was also covered. The poor little girl was covered in feces, bruises, she was blistered and suffered from a rash. The little girl was nearly naked, wearing only a diaper and a shirt. The little girl could barley stand when the investigators found her.

The child’s mother, Mayra Solis and her friend, Francisco Javier Rios-Covarrubias were booked into jail on several charges. Seems like they should have harsher punishment for that horrible crime that they did. That poor defenseless baby did not deserve the torture they did to her.

Police Find Child in The WORST Conditions

The police said that the child was at the friends home. The child would actually stay there for days while Solis worked. The mother apparently works a lot, she told the police that she sometimes only saw her daughter one day out of the week.

Police found out that while the little girl was at the friend’s house, she would be there by herself for hours while Rios-Covvarrubias also worked.

Mesa Police Chief, John Meza says that the little girl is in the hospital at this time, she’s working on recovering. The last update he got was that she was in fair condition. The little girl couldn’t even stand as she was trying to talk to the investigators. Since she’s so young and her home life was so rough, the police do not know if the little girl couldn’t or wouldn’t talk to them during their investigation.

The police started their investigation when they recieved a phone call from a man saying that he saw a child bound and gagged with duct tape in a closet.

The man also told the police that he had met Rios-Coverrbias online and that the two had agreed to meet for sex. Apparently they were going to do the deed at her house. While he was there he noticed a bad odor in the house. He went to investigate and found the girl in the closet.

When he found the girl, Rios-Coverrubias allegedly asked him if he wanted to have sex with the child. The man got upset and left, however it must have not grossed him out too bad since he later came back and had consensual sex with Rios-Coverrubias. He thought the child had left though.

Luckily, he got a little smarter and called the police after his second time at the house. That is when the police arrived to the Rios-Coverrubias house.

Rios-Coverrubias apparently has no shame, he admitted to the police that he would bind the little girl with duct tape. He wanted to keep the poor child quiet just so he could have sex with other people.

He didn’t admit to sexually abusing the girl, however police say that during the medical exam they did find evidence of her being sexually assaulted.

Rios-Coverrubias was booked into jail on the charges of “sex trafficking, kidnapping, sexual conduct with a minor and child abuse”.

The mother was quite young at twenty-one years old. However she should know what going on. Solis would leave her child with that man for DAYS at a time. She knew he would leave her child alone for hours, apparently she didn’t care.

Solis is quite the example of what not to be as a mother. She would shave her daughter’s head to claim that she had cancer so that people would give her money. How sick is that?!

She was also booked into jail for child abuse charges.

The police say that neither adult in this situation had a previous record of child abuse.
