CHILD ABUSE NEWS – 3/25/10

Prosecutors say parents Carolyn and Michael Riley, fabricated symptoms of mental illness to the doctors, about Rebecca Riley, just to have little Rebecca declared mentally disabled so the family could collect Social Security Disability payments. They’d then drug her up with the medicine so they wouldn’t have to deal with her. Rebecca developed pneumonia, and her parents never took her to the hospital despite being urged to. On her last night alive, a sickly Rebecca kept knocking on her parents bedroom door asking for a hug and wanted to sleep with them. Dad, Michael Riley kept telling her to go back to her room. They finally relented and made her sleep on the floor where she was found dead the next morning!

Here’s a description of the crime scene photo. Little Rebecca Riley was found lying on the floor next to her parent’s bed:
The photo, taken by police after her mother found her dead on the floor of their bedroom, shows the little girl wearing only a pink pull-up diaper, lying on a pile of magazines and clothing and a stuffed bear. She had a pink liquid oozing from her nose and mouth.
Closing arguments were today in the murder trial of Michael Riley, charged with overdosing his 4 year old daughter Rebecca Riley, to death. Prosecutors called him a bully who overmedicated little Rebecca “to shut her up”! The jury is deliberating right now. Here are two more articles: ARTICLE 1, ARTICLE 2

The two men were baby-sitting when they set the 5-year-old boy’s hair on fire with what they called a “redneck flamethrower.”
They lit an aerosol spray on fire and aimed it at the boy in what they said was an attempt to scare him to toughen him up.
The boy’s hair was singed, and he suffered burns on the side of his face. The men called it an accident.

ARUBA- NATALEE HOLLOWAY: DIVERS IN ARUBA FIND NO TRACE OF NATALEE HOLLOWAY’S SKELETON! Joran Van Der Sloot Natalee Holloway was an American teen girl who was vacationing in Aruba in 2005. Last seen getting into car with 3 teen boys, disappeared. An American couple who were snorkeling in the Aruban waters took a pic of what appears to be a skeleton at the bottom of the ocean. This case received international attention. Update: Aruban cops are calling off the search. They’re saying that they’re assuming the skeleton photographed was really “coral”! Personally, I don’t think they want to find Natalee Holloway’s body because it would mean they were incompetant all of these years. Her’s the ARTICLE with the update.
