Cops: Woman marks birthday by aiding son in heists AP

 

MILWAUKEE -Police in Wisconsin say a woman celebrated her birthday by helping her teenage son rob two gas stations. Officers in the Milwaukee suburb of Greenfield say the 37-year-old woman acted as the getaway driver while her 17-year-old son robbed the stations at gunpoint.

Authorities say the pair were in custody Wednesday awaiting charges. Their names were not released.

Police say the teen was visiting from Chicago for his mother's birthday.

And they say the woman's 13-month-old daughter and two boys ages 10 and 14 rode along during the robberies in Greenfield and Milwaukee. Greenfield police Deputy Inspector Bradley Wentlandt says the younger children have been turned over to child welfare.

Mom Accused of Stealing Girl's Identity

 

GREEN BAY, Wis. (Sept. 13) - A 33-year-old woman stole her daughter's identity to attend high school and join the cheerleading squad, according to a criminal complaint filed against the woman.

Wendy Brown, of Green Bay, faces a felony identity theft charge after enrolling in Ashwaubenon High School as her 15-year-old daughter, who lives in Nevada with Brown's mother.

 

According to the complaint, Brown wanted to get her high school degree and become a cheerleader because she didn't have a childhood and wanted to regain a part of her life that she'd missed.

Brown allegedly attended cheerleading practices before school started, received a cheerleader's locker and went to a pool party at the cheerleading coach's house.

The $134.50 check Brown gave to the cheerleading coach for her uniform bounced, the complaint said.

A high school employee, Kim Demeny, told authorities that the woman, posing as the teen, seemed very timid. Demeny said she told her she was not good at math and even cried when she talked about moving from Pahrump Valley High School in Nevada. Demeny said she looked older than a student but had the demeanor of a high school girl.

A school liaison officer started investigating after Brown only attended the first day of classes last week, the complaint said.

Assistant Principal Dirk Ribbins later learned Brown's daughter was enrolled at Pahrump Valley High School. Ribbins also spoke with Brown's mother, who told him she had custody of the girl. She said Brown has a history of identity theft crimes, the complaint said.

Brown made her first court appearance Friday by video conference. The judge set bond at $8,000.

If convicted, she could face up to six years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

There was no attorney listed in Brown's online court records. Her home number could not be found.

Man cited for allegedly buying beer for young sons

FOND DU LAC, Wis. -A father who bought a beer for his 4-year-old son at the Fond du Lac County Fair and shared it with the boy's 2-year-old sibling was cited after becoming belligerent when he was approached by police.

A woman working at a beer tent last July told an officer she thought the man was joking when he asked for two beers — one for him and another for his 4-year-old son.

When he was questioned by an officer, he told him it's legal for underage children to drink in Wisconsin, as long as they're with their parents. The officer countered that the boys weren't old enough to know what they were drinking.

A police report said the man began yelling and swearing and was kicked off the fairgrounds.

The Fond du Lac County district attorney recently requested that the man be cited for disorderly conduct.

MOM TELLS COPS ICY BODIES IN FREEZER ARE HER KIDS

 

LUSBY, Maryland (AP) — A mother told police that child-sized human remains uncovered in her basement freezer were those of her two adopted daughters, and police believe that she is responsible for their deaths.

 

Renee Bowman, 43, told police the bodies of two of her children were in the freezer since February.

 

Police were investigating an abuse complaint Saturday when they discovered the remains encased in ice.

 

The mother told investigators that they had been in her southern Maryland home for at least seven months, and police said they are considering the case a homicide.

 

“We have reason to believe that’s the two children in the freezer,” Lt. Bobby Jones of Calvert County Sheriff’s Office said Monday. “We believe that the mother, who adopted the two children, is responsible for it.”

 

Autopsies would need to be completed before they know for sure that the remains are of the girls, who would be 9 and 11.

 

Deputies made the gruesome discovery in the home in Lusby, about 50 miles southeast of Washington. They were there with a search warrant to investigate the treatment of a girl who had run away and “showed signs of extreme abuse and neglect,” the sheriff’s department said.

 

The girl’s mother, 43-year-old Renee Bowman, has been arrested, and a judge has ordered her held without bail.

 

She is charged with first-degree child abuse in the beating of the runaway 7-year-old, who was found wandering in the neighborhood wearing only a blood- and feces-soaked T-shirt.

 

The girl escaped from a locked bedroom by jumping out a second-story window, and Bowman admitted beating her with a “hard-heeled shoe,” officials said.

 

Bowman told detectives that she brought the remains in the freezer with her to Lusby when she moved from Rockville, about 60 miles away, in February. Montgomery County Police are investigating whether the deaths took place in Rockville. Bowman has not been charged in the older girls’ deaths.

 

It is not clear how the children might have died. The medical examiner’s office in Baltimore was to examine the freezer and its contents. It was unclear how long it would take for autopsies to be completed.

 

Authorities said Bowman adopted three children from the District of Columbia. Officials said the older girls’ whereabouts are unknown. Montgomery County Police said detectives are trying to pin down when the older girls were last seen alive, as well as where the family was living and when.

 

According to charging documents drawn up before the remains were discovered, the 7-year-old went door-to-door looking for help after jumping from the window Friday night. A neighbor gave her clothes and called 911.

 

The girl had open sores and lesions on her buttocks and lower thighs, marks on her neck made by a cord, rope or other item and bruises on her hands and lips. She told investigators her mother caused the injuries and that she jumped out the window to “free herself from her mother’s relentless beatings,” according to the documents. She is being cared for by child protective services.

 

No one was home when authorities arrived at the modest single-story house in the secluded, heavily wooded subdivision with narrow gravel roads. Bowman showed up later at the sheriff’s office and said she had locked her daughter in the girl’s bedroom while she went to D.C.

 

Bowman told the deputy who interviewed her about the 7-year-old’s abuse “that she knew what she did was wrong,” according to the charging documents. “She advised [bowman] was out of control and needed help.”

 

Sheriff Mike Evans said the surviving girl was never enrolled in Calvert County Schools. He said that neighbors had seen her and that no trouble had ever been reported at the house. Bowman’s only contact with the sheriff’s department since she arrived was a traffic stop.

 

No attorney had entered an appearance on Bowman’s behalf Monday afternoon. Dorothy Hodge, deputy district public defender for Calvert County, said an attorney from the office would interview Bowman to determine whether she wanted to be represented.

 

Nice.

Woman gets jail for using kids in volleyball scam

 

MEDFORD, Ore. -A woman will have to spend up to 90 days in jail and make restitution for sending her children door to door seeking donations for a trip to a volleyball camp.

Carley Torres will have to pay back more than $3,000 after pleading guilty to theft charges.

The 35-year-old Torres and her 33-year-old husband, Laramie Torres, sent their children through neighborhoods in Medford, Ashland and Eagle Point last year to ask for donations to send their oldest daughter to a volleyball camp.

But the couple instead spent the money on shopping mall trips, monster truck rallies and weekends at the movies.

Laramie Torres will help his wife make restitution, but he got community service instead of jail time for his guilty plea to theft charges.

 

Good role model here.......

Fla. man accused of making boy drive on beer run

 

CAPE CORAL, Fla. -Authorities in southwest Florida say an intoxicated man had his 9-year-old son take him on a beer run. Cape Coral police arrested the 27-year-old man last week, after seeing a pickup truck drive onto a median.

When officers stopped the truck, the man told them he was teaching his son to drive. Officers say the father's speech was slurred, his breath smelled of alcohol and he unable to stand without swaying. Police said an open case of Budweiser beer was in the backseat.

The man was charged with cruelty toward a child and allowing an unlicensed minor to drive. He was released from jail on $2,000 bond. The man did not return a phone call seeking comment.

Mom Sells Twins For Plastic Surgery

by Amy Hatch Dec 15th 2008 1:00PM

 

A mother in Belgium stands accused of selling her newborn twin boys to fund her liposuction surgery. The woman, Sonia Ringoir, 31, is a restaurant worker in Ghent, Belgium, and according to an interview with her current boyfriend, she did so because her estranged husband "put pressure on her to have her body rebuilt."

 

It was that same estranged husband, Marc Poppe, who turned Ringoir in, telling undercover cops that the couple searched the Internet for ways to make money off their babies, because of course they wouldn't give them away "for nothing."

 

Belgium does not have a law that addresses the sale of children, and so Ringoir has been charged with "degrading treatment" of her twins. She was also charged with fraud, after a Dutch couple alleged that she falsely offered to be a surrogate mother for them. She is facing a sentence of 30 days to five years if she is convicted.

 

Ringoir has five other kids ranging in age from 3 to 13, from two different fathers, and has been released pending the results of a police investigation. She claims she gave the babies to a friend "for free" out of the goodness of her heart, when learning of her pal's infertility.

 

The kicker? Ringor didn't even have the lipo. Instead, she opted for gastric-band surgery to "reduce" her appetite.

 

I'm not a proponent of forced sterilization, but for goodness sake, if ever there was a candidate for that punishment, this is the woman. And Belgium? You might want to consider the fact that selling your babies should be against the law.

Store Refuses to Make Birthday Cake for Adolf Hitler

by Sandy Maple Dec 16th 2008 2:00PM

 

When you give your children names inspired by Nazism, you are pretty much asking for trouble. Finding your kids shunned and rejected by mainstream society would seem to be an obvious consequence of saddling them with such names, right? I guess 35-year-old Heath Campbell wasn't smart enough to have seen that coming when he named his children Adolf Hitler, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler.

 

Campbell, a self-proclaimed Holocaust denier, is outraged that the ShopRite grocery store in Holland Township, New Jersey refuses to make a cake that reads "Adolf Hitler" for his 3-year-old's birthday. Campbell's wife, 25-year-old Deborah is equally surprised. "ShopRite can't even make a cake for a 3-year-old," she said. "That's sad."

 

No, what is sad is that these two don't even appreciate what those names will mean for their children. The kids haven't started school yet, but when they do, their parents don't foresee any problems at all. "I just figured that they're just names," Deborah Campbell said. "They're just kids. They're not going to hurt anybody."

 

Those poor children..........

Cops Say Dad Sold Teen for Cash, Beer

 

GREENFIELD, Calif. (Jan. 13) - Police have arrested a Greenfield man for allegedly arranging to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat.

 

Police said they only learned of the deal after 36-year-old Marcelino de Jesus Martinez went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised. Martinez was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.

Officers also arrested an 18-year-old man on suspicion of statutory rape. Investigators believe the girl went willingly with the man, but she's under California's legal age of consent and can't legally marry.

Police say arranged marriages involving underage girls have become a problem in this small Central Coast farming community.

Adolf Hitler Campbell Removed From Parents' Home

by Sandy Maple Jan 14th 2009 6:00PM

 

Categories: Health & safety, In the news, Weird but true

 

Remember little 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell? How could we forget the poor New Jersey boy whose parents saw no harm in naming their son after one of the world's most notorious murderers? Perhaps now they are beginning to see how that wasn't such a great idea. According to Holland Township police chief David Van Gilson, Adolf and his younger siblings JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler have been removed from their parents' home by the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services.

 

The children's father, Heath Campbell, denied to a reporter that his children were taken and, as is their policy, the Division of Youth and Family Services would not comment. But Chief Gilson says that the kids were taken last week in the presence of a township police officer. He goes on to say that a hearing is scheduled for Thursday to decide whether the state can place the children temporarily in another home.

Gilson didn't say why the children were removed from the home or where they were taken, but says his department has received no reports of abuse or neglect.

 

Since the story of Adolf and his family hit the news, Heath Campbell says he has received numerous threats. I find that disturbing, but not surprising. And while I am heartbroken for these children, I am somewhat relieved. With such inappropriate names, these kids are facing a lifetime of hardship, rejection and worse.
