Psychotic Mother Eats Newborn Baby

San Antonio, TX – July 26, 2009
Otty Sanchez, the mother of a 3-½ week old baby, was charged yesterday with capital murder in the death of her newborn baby. Police found the 3-½ week old infant stabbed and decapitated in the Texas home. The scene was reportedly so gruesome investigators could hardly speak. In the bedroom of the home, the dismembered body of the newborn laid. Three of his toes were chewed off, his face torn away, his head severed, his brain ripped out and eaten. Allegedly, Sanchez ate the brain and some other body parts before turning the knife on herself.
Sanchez apparently had 2 other children, ages 5 and 7, which were in the house at the time, but they were unharmed. When officers arrived to the home, Sanchez was sitting on the couch with a self-inflicted wound to the chest and a partially slashed throat. Reportedly, she told officers the devil made her kill her baby. Sanchez was hospitalized and taken into custody.

Everyday, children are abused, neglected, and killed by their parents. Not enough is being done to protect our children from harm, and no one wants to confront the issues because they are too afraid of social judgments. The longer we sit back and pretend like these issues will just go away, the more lives that will be taken or destroyed. This article is by far one of the most disturbing cases of child abuse and murder!

8-Year Old Gets Gang Raped

Phoenix, Arizona --An 8 year-old little girl was sexually assaulted and gang raped by a group of her male peers. The boys, ranging in ages from 9-14, were charged with sexual assault. According to reports, the girl was at an apartment complex on July 14, when she was lured to a storage shed by the boys. Allegedly, the boys offered the little girl some gum and then proceeded to restrain and sexually assault her. Police called this case “one of the worst cases they have investigated in many years.” The oldest suspect, who was 14, was charged as an adult and faces 2 counts of sexual assault and one count of kidnapping. The other three boys will be charged as juveniles. All the boys lived in the apartment complex except the 14 year old.

All these children came from refugee families that came to the US from the war-torn West African nation of Liberia. The mentality of these children is quite different from typical American children, but nonetheless, they are children. The little girl’s condition is not yet known, but she has been removed from her family because of their negative attitude towards her. Her family feels embarrassed and ashamed of the little girl, and blames her for what happened to her. The little girl’s 23-year old sister was babysitting her at the time of the alleged attack; the sister wants the boys released from jail because she says, “we are the same people.”

Instead of the community embracing this little 8-year old girl, she is being treated like an outcast. The family blames her for bringing confusion to the refugee. Cultural differences definitely separates one group from the next, but some things are embedded in just being human. Up until 2006, rape was not against the law in Liberia. Children and women have been mistreated for centuries, not only in Liberia, but all around the world, and it’s time for change. No matter where you are from, I don’t care if it’s your culture or not, it’s never ok to engage in sex with a child. We are ruining our children who were given to us by God to protect. This 8-year old child didn’t deserve to be sexually assaulted or raped, and she surly doesn’t deserve to be ostracized by her family. Giving up on our children means giving up on our future.

MJ's Immortal Legacy

Michael Joseph Jackson, the King of Pop, was such an inspirational, kind, loving, selfless individual that cared deeply for all of humanity. Born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana, Michael grew up during a time when racial barriers controlled a great portion of human interactions with one another. During the 60’s, many blacks were in segregated communities, schools, churches, restaurants, etc…, and they were totally ostracized by their white counterparts. Most blacks were afraid to step across racial barriers for fear of losing their life or getting arrested, and the others were too ignorant to care. Racism was intricately woven into communities all across America, and more than anything, the black communities felt the pinch.

The Civil Rights Movement (1955-1965), proved to be a channel for many blacks to prevail and to be able to stand for justice and challenge their white oppressors. Many leaders began to sprout from the black communities and fight for equal justice for all blacks. There were very few black owned business, artist, entertainers, writers, athletes, and black professionals in general. Once Civil Rights Leaders laid the foundation, many blacks were afforded some of the same opportunities as whites. The Civil Rights Movement opened many closed doors, but blacks still struggled to maintain lifestyles like whites. There were very few black entertainers and other professionals that were made public figures. The few blacks that were recognized publicly in the communities were immensely idolized. Music for blacks was a way to free the spirits and unionize the community. Music was therapy to the black community and has always been a critical part of the culture. There were very few black musicians to look up to, so when the Jackson 5 came along, the black community began to feel a great sense of hope and accomplishment and embraced the music.
