21-year-old Mark Edward Vaughn was arrested in Los Angeles County for the murder of his girlfriend’s 17-month-old daughter, Jayden Brianne Turner.  Although he has insisted that she fell and hit her head on a carpeted floor, the coroner said that this story is not consistent with her injuries and ruled her death a homicide. I […]

Yet another victim of child abuse for you today.  This time it was 4-year-old  Malisa Delasancha.  The mother’s boyfriend Travis Gauldin, 21, has been charged with murder in the case.  He called police to report that she had fallen down the stairs.  Unfortunately, she died in the hospital from her injuries two days later.

Sharon Worthy, 22 has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for her role in the death of her 3-year-old son.  It was actually her boyfriend who killed the boy (Curtis Copeland, 28, was given life in prison), but there appear to have been several points in this story at which Worthy could have saved […]

Marchella Brett Pierce Starved to Death

I typically read so many articles about crimes against children that it takes a lot to really disturb me when I’m doing research for One By One.  I sort of expect to be sad and can prepare for what I will read. This article really got to me though.  A little girl was starved to […]

Kiyana Higgins: History of Abuse

I found an article regarding the Kiyana Higgins trial with many more details.

Eddie Salazar Sr.- What Really Happened?

This story is despicable.  A man invented four different stories to cover up the fact that he murdered- possibly accidently- his infant son. At first, Eddie Salazar Sr., 31, even created an elaborate scenario involving men breaking into his house and him being knocked unconscious as explanation for the baby’s disappearance.  What actually happened was […]
