Doctors found heroin and cocaine in his little body. Oscar Rivera, 34, has been arrested and will face a murder charge among other counts. Click to […]
Jesse Joe Hernandez: Put to Death for Crimes Against Children
Eleven years ago Jesse Joe Hernandez murdered a 10-month-old little boy and also abused his sister. He was just recently put to death by lethal injection in Texas.

Kiyana Higgins: History of Abuse
I found an article regarding the Kiyana Higgins trial with many more details. As I previously reported, her 1-year-old daughter died from malnourishment and she, her sister, and mother have all been indicted for murder one. The first article I linked to did not mention that she has two other children that the women have […]

Infant Murders in Iowa
The article below points out that two of the atrocious recent cases of infanticide both occurred in Iowa. Although the Safe Haven laws have been in effect since 2001, the last baby saved by Safe Haven in Iowa was in 2009. This actually makes sense. If stories of safely relinquished infants had been in the […]
Court in Session on 2009 Infanticide
Today’s horrific tale of infanticide actually happened in 2009, but I do not believe we reported on it and the court case has recently started. Juana Valencia, 21, was in high school at the time of the incident. She gave birth at work and put the baby in a plastic bag and threw it in […]
