Police: Father booked with murder in death of baby
November 19, 2013
A Baton Rouge man was arrested Monday in the death of his 6-month-old son and accused of a pattern of neglect that included placing the baby in scalding bath water that left him with burns on more than 80 percent of his body.
Curtis King, 23, 11888 Longridge Ave., was booked on counts of second-degree murder and second-degree cruelty to a juvenile in the Nov. 6 death of Aiden King.
Placing the baby in the hot water was “a gross deviation below the standard of care expected to be maintained by a reasonable man,”
Detective Zac Woodring wrote in an arrest document.
Aiden was airlifted to Shriners Hospitals for Children in Galveston, Texas, where he was in critical condition. He survived his wounds but received permanent scarring and had to undergo multiple skin grafts, according to court records.
“Also located at the time were multiple healing rib fractures,” Woodring added, a sign of previous abuse.

Woman arrested after daughter put in tub of scalding water
Posted December 19, 2013 at 6:58 a.m.
A 28-year-old woman has been arrested after police say she allowed her boyfriend to put her 4-year-old daughter in a tub of scalding water, causing second-degree burns.
Shalonda Simmons has been charged with aggravated child abuse. She is being held on $30,000 bond. It’s uncertain if the boyfriend is in custody.
According to police, the incident happened in April. The abuse was discovered a few days later when the child went to her grandmother’s house, and the woman noted that the girl had burn marks on her feet, ankles, bottom and genitalia. The girl told her grandmother that the boyfriend put her in the hot water.
The child’s mother, though, said she was aware of the marks and that they were from a “medical condition.” She said she was treating them at home and didn’t seek medical attention.
When police interviewed the child, she said the boyfriend also beat her with a belt while she was in the water. She told police that her mother said she wasn’t to go around other people after the abuse.

Court Documents: Dad and stepmom punished 4-year-old son by burning him in a hot shower
updated on: 10:54am, January 8, 2014
Suffolk, Va. – A four-year-old little boy confides in his babysitter, telling her that his parents forced him into a scalding hot shower as a punishment for misbehaving, according to court documents.
“He said that his parents punished him for saying it and told him to get in the hot shower. So I asked him, was it an accident? And he said, no he knew it was hot. They told me to get in it,” Tosha Tucker, the child’s babysitter, told NewsChannel 3 today. (video at link)
Now, his dad and step-mother, Bernard and Vallerie Esannason, are behind bars. Both are sailors.
Tucker had been watching the boy and his sister for about a month. Last December, Vallerlie told Tucker that the boy was burned while his father was adjusting the temperature in the shower.
Tucker says she didn’t believe it.
“It looked deliberate. It didn`t look like an accident at all,” she said.
Court documents show the boy told police his “mommy and daddy held him down in the shower and sprayed hot water on him for four minutes because he’s four-years-old.”
Tucker says the burns were all over the boy’s body, and the worst was his arm.
“It was so bad that it leaked through his shirt,” she said.
That’s when Tucker took the boy to the hospital, and court documents say doctors performed surgery to save the boy’s arm.
“It angers me that any parent would do that to any child especially a mom or a dad would do it to their child. It`s hard to grasp,” she said.
NewsChannel 3 went to the Esannoson’s neighborhood, where neighbors told us they’ve called police on the family before.
“I would hear the screaming of a little boy. You definitely could hear him in just horrible pain. He`d scream horrible screams and he would stop, and maybe ten minutes later it would go on again this bloody scream like he`s being tortured, Kelly Altic, who lives next door, said.
The two are facing a number of charges, including cruelty and injuries to children.

Father arrested after 9-year-old daughter scalded by hot bath
February 05, 2014 at 2:41 PM
A New Orleans man is facing a child-abuse charge after police said he ordered his 9-year-old daughter into bathwater so hot it left second-degree burns on her feet, back and genitals.
Vincent Cooper Jr., 53, appeared in court Wednesday (Feb. 5) to face a charge of second-degree cruelty to juveniles, an offense that carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in state prison.
According to police, Cooper prepared bathwater for his daughter after she finished homework Monday night at their home in the 6400 block of N. Derbigny St. in the Lower 9th Ward.
Police said the girl said the water was too hot, but that he ordered her into the tub anyway. When he saw her still standing in the tub, police said, Cooper demanded the girl sit and then bathed her before returning to his bedroom.
Police said the girl came to Cooper afterward, complaining that she had painful "bumps" on her feet, but was ordered to go to bed. Cooper told police after his arrest that he looked at the girl's feet after the bath but saw only tiny bumps he described as possible ant bites.
Shortly after the girl arrived at her school Tuesday morning, police said staff members noted severe burns and blisters on the girl's feet. The girl was taken to Children's Hospital for treatment, and a detective from NOPD's Child Abuse Unit was called to investigate.
Doctors told the detective that the girl had suffered second-degree burns to both feet, as well as burns to her back and genitals. The girl was transferred into the care of the hospital's surgical team for treatment, the police report said.

Woman Accused Of Burning Stepson Headed To Court
March 6, 2014 9:18 PM
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Charges against a woman accused of burning her stepson with hot water were held for court.
Jessye Cole had nothing to say to reporters as she left court. She is accused of severely burning her 4-year-old stepson by putting him in a tub of scalding hot water.
Cole claims the boy stepped in dog waste and she was just trying to clean him off.
But the child’s biological mother isn’t buying it.
“It was purposely done, she purposely did this to my child,” said Shante Cole, the boy’s mother.
The boy suffered second degree burns over 50 percent of his body, including his chest, arms and lower extremities. According to the criminal complaint, his skin was red and flaking off.
But police say Cole didn’t seek immediate care.
Instead, she and the boy’s father allegedly waited 24 hours before taking him to Children’s Hospital.

Updated 12:07 am, Saturday, March 22, 2014
BRIDGEPORT -- A father, accused of being high on PCP and smashing his year-old son's head repeatedly against a van before trying to set him on fire, was ordered held in lieu of $1 million bond Friday.
"The facts of this case are very disturbing," state Superior Court Judge Earl Richards said in setting the bond.
Police said Marvin Williams, 28, was high on a mixture of PCP and marijuana when he began ramming his son's head into a parked van and then tried to set the boy on fire with a lighter Thursday afternoon on Lexington Avenue. They said another resident managed to grab the child away from Williams and hide the boy in her apartment.
Williams was baby sitting the child while the mother was at work, police said.

NJ Mom Fights to Help Ariz. Mom Accused of Leaving Kids in Hot SUV
By Terry Tang | Tuesday, Apr 8, 2014 | Updated 8:54 AM EDT
A Phoenix woman arrested after leaving her two kids in a hot vehicle during a job interview is fighting to clear her name in court, with the support of a New Jersey woman who has raised more than $91,000 to help the effort.
Unemployed and on food stamps, Shanesha Taylor went to the job interview last month at a Scottsdale insurance company.
The 35-year-old wasn't able to find a sitter, so she left her 2-year-old son and 6-month old baby in her Dodge Durango with the key still in the ignition and the windows rolled down an inch.
A witness found the infant crying hysterically and sweating profusely as temperatures inside the SUV exceeded 100 degrees.
Taylor was arrested after returning to the vehicle, and her tearful mugshot later caught the attention of 24-year-old Amanda Bishop of New Jersey.
Bishop said she was inspired to set up a fundraising webpage for Taylor because she could relate to growing up in a family that doesn't have a lot of money.
“I had a mother and family in general who struggled raising us and had to rely on other resources to provide for us and sometimes made not the greatest choices,” Bishop said.
Taylor pleaded not guilty Monday at her arraignment.
Prosecutors point out that her actions put the safety of her children in danger.
According to court documents, Scottsdale firefighters found the vehicle's windows rolled down only an inch and no running air conditioning to keep the children cool.
The baby was described as wearing a short-sleeve shirt over a long-sleeve shirt, as well as a blanket. Taylor arrived back at the vehicle more than an hour after her interview time, the documents said.
“Everything is focused on the mother and understandably so. It seems to be a very compelling human interest story,” County Attorney Bill Montgomery said at a recent news conference. “But I'm equally concerned and compelled about the circumstances those two children were in.”
Montgomery said it's too soon to determine if Taylor will receive a prison term or face losing custody of her children. Her offenses could amount to a sentence ranging from probation to seven years in prison, prosecutors said.
Neither Taylor nor her court-appointed attorney has responded to requests for comment.
Bishop established the fundraising site on YouCaring.com with the goal of raising $9,000. She was flabbergasted when the site reached the goal in four days and then exceeded it by tens of thousands of dollars.
The site also has received more than a thousand comments, some of which accuse Bishop and other supporters of endorsing child abuse. Bishop said Taylor should not be condemned for one bad decision.
“She could have been at a bar or at a club and leaving her children in the car,” Bishop said. “Here's a woman who is an example of someone who is trying -- who is trying to better her situation and doing what she can to provide for her children.”

Bond set for Selma mom, her boyfriend accused of burning toddlers
I have no idea why these photos don't post.
SELMA, AL (WSFA) -
Bond has been set at $1 million each for a Selma woman and her boyfriend accused of burning the woman's 21-month-old daughters with a clothes iron last month.
Shanetta Tyus, 23, and Gabriel Fikes, 22, were arrested Wednesday and each charged with aggravated child abuse, assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
According to police, Tyus' twin daughters were taken to Vaughan Regional Medical Center on the night of March 19 after being severely burned all over their bodies. The girls were airlifted to the burn unit at Children's of Alabama hospital in Birmingham.
After speaking with Tyus in the emergency room, Selma detectives and social workers went to the crime scene in the 20 block of Young Street and found the iron in the bedroom where the children were sleeping. Did they wash dem niglets in scalding water with bleach befo' dey ironed dem? Inquiring minds gots to know, knowha'm'say'n.
Later police had Tyus and Fikes come to the police department for an interview and couldn't determine if there were grounds for an arrest. According to police, Tyus said she was asleep, and Fikes said he was gone at the time of the incident.
Tyus and Fikes also reportedly wanted detectives to do an interview with the toddlers' 4-year-old sibling to see if the sibling could have done it. Look at these niggers trying to blame a niglet for what they did! Ain't that just like a nigger, knowha'm'say'n.
After receiving a report from the hospital in Birmingham that showed the girls suffered second-degree burns to 40 percent of their bodies, the District Attorney's office issued warrants for the arrests of Tyus and Fikes.
Tyus and Fikes were arrested Wednesday at 12:45 p.m. at their residence.
