  • Mother Charged With Murder After Confining Toddler Son To Booster Seat For 15 Hours As Punishment, Reports Say She Watched Him ‘Perish’

    Mother Charged With Murder After Confining Toddler Son To Booster Seat For 15 Hours As Punishment, Reports Say She Watched Him ‘Perish’

    A Florida mother, Rebecca Gussage-Johnston, 24, has been charged with first-degree murder while engaged in aggravated child abuse after restricting her 2-year-old son to a booster seat for fifteen hours in an attempt to punish him for

    “acting out,”

    reports FOX. 

    A criminal report says,

    “The victim was unlawfully caged/restrained in a table booster seat for approximately fifteen hours before the defendant released him… The defendant failed to supervise and provide the medical services needed to properly render aid to the victim.”

    Prosecutors claim that on May 18, 2023, the 24-year-old mother confessed to confining the toddler to the seat at the kitchen table in an effort to punish him. The woman said the child was

    “acting out”

    and screaming. Officials say although her son later became unresponsive and she had access to a phone, Gussage-Johnston, didn’t contact medical support for almost 24 hours. A relative later contacted HCSO to investigate. 

    The affidavit states that officials went to a

    “white/tan 1992 mobile RV parked in a truck lot located in Thonotosassa, Florida.”

    When they arrived, they discovered the young boy in terrible condition as he was in a bassinet under a blanket. 

    “Upon arrival, Deputies encountered the victim to be deceased and suffering from trauma to [his] head, a wound to [his] right thigh, and bruising throughout [his] extremity area,”

    said the affidavit. 

    The toddler was discovered drenched in vomit and feces. The woman also admitted to observing her toddler die. The affidavit added,

    “The defendant admitted to watching the victim suffer from seizures and shaking uncontrollably… The defendant described having watched the victim take their last breath and perish in her arms.”

    Sheriff Chad Chronister said,

    “The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has unrelenting fervor in our pursuit of justice for innocent children hurt by criminals… It is truly heart-wrenching to witness such senseless and preventable acts of violence targeting our youth. The tenacity of our detectives has allowed us to ensure this woman faces the consequences of her disgusting actions.”

  • Mother Charged With Murder After 7-Year-Old Girl Was Discovered Dead In Closet, Reports Say She Was Left In The Closet For Months

    Mother Charged With Murder After 7-Year-Old Girl Was Discovered Dead In Closet, Reports Say She Was Left In The Closet For Months

    Sadly, a young girl’s body was discovered decaying in an Atlanta home after officials received an anonymous tip. The victim was identified as 7-year-old Alivia Hobbs-Jordan. Although the home was evacuated for months, a man found the apartment door open and smelled a horrible odor, according to Cafemom. PEOPLE reported that the man witnessed an arm hanging out of the closet and instantly contacted officials. The unnamed man recalled,

    “She looked like a mummy.” 

    Officials believe the mother, Alondra Hobbs, left the autistic girl, at some point, between February 28 and June 25. On June 29, the mother was apprehended and later charged with felony murder and cruelty in the second degree, said The Dekalb County Police Department in a Facebook post. 

    According to ABC 7, a neighbor informed officials that it’s been several months since they’ve seen the tenant. Another unnamed neighbor informed WSB that earlier in the year, the mother expressed that she wanted to kill herself. The neighbor said,

    “Everybody like, ‘Why you want to kill yourself?’ She never said…But she never let you in her apartment. Never.”

    Authorities confirmed that the young girl was left in the closet for several months; however, they haven’t confirmed the exact cause of death. PEOPLE reported that officials believe the mother purposely abandoned the child and had no plans of returning to the apartment. When police located the girl in the closet, they found

    “what appeared to be a full head of hair and decayed flesh that was in the form of an arm and leg.”

    They also discovered mail with the mother’s name on it.

    Relatives spoke about the incident, as one family member, Latrience Robinson said,

    “I just didn’t see that in her. We all have issues, but I didn’t think she would do something to her kids,”

    Fox 5 reported. Robinson told WAGA,

    “We had no clue…The baby was supposed to be with the dad’s mom in Albany. That’s what she kept telling us.”

  • Man Pleaded Guilty To The 2021 Murder Of His Former Girlfriend After Kidnapping and Burying Her Alive

    Man Pleaded Guilty To The 2021 Murder Of His Former Girlfriend After Kidnapping and Burying Her Alive

    A man, Tarikjot Singh, has pleaded guilty to murder after kidnapping his former girlfriend, Jasmeen Kaur, back in March 2021 and then burying her alive, reports The Post. On March 5, Kaur was kidnapped from her job and driven over 400 miles while tied to cable ties in a vehicle Singh borrowed from someone he knew. 

    Singh then gave the woman surfaced cuts to her throat and buried her in a shallow grave. The cuts to her throat weren’t deep enough to kill her and reports say she was well aware of her surroundings when she later died the next day. Carmen Matteo, the prosecutor said, the murder wasn’t

    “efficient”

    and the victim was

    “made to suffer.” 

    “She had to have been consciously suffering what could only be described as the absolute terror of breathing in and swallowing soil and dying in that way,”

    said Matteo. 

    The woman’s family was in court for the sentencing submissions. Reports added that Kaur was killed merely one month after reporting Singh to the authorities for stalking her. According to the court, Singh mapped out the murder because he wasn’t able to get over their failed relationship. The court was informed that the man wrote multiple messages to the victim before she died. 

    One message said,

    “Your bad luck that I am still alive, cheap, wait and watch, will get the answer, each and every single one will get the answer.” 

    Singh later took officers to Australia’s Flinders Ranges, where she was buried. Authorities discovered her shoes, glasses, work name badge, and cable ties.

  • Dad Charges With Murder After Using Hot Water To Discipline His 7-Year-Old Son Resulting In His Death, Police Say

    Dad Charges With Murder After Using Hot Water To Discipline His 7-Year-Old Son Resulting In His Death, Police Say

    A New Hampshire man is behind bars after he allegedly poured hot water on his 7-year-old to

    “discipline”

    him later causing his death from severe burns, per the NY Post.

    Murtadah Mohammad, 25, was finally charged with second-degree murder for the tragic death of his son Jaevion Riley who died on Jan. 24. Mohammad had already been charged with

    “assault, endangering the welfare of a child and falsifying physical evidence,”

    for the same case. Those charges are expected to be dropped and bumped up to the murder charge which will be prosecuted by the state Attorney General’s office, officials said.

    On Jan. 17 police were called to a Manchester apartment, where they discovered the boy in the shower with severe burn marks to his face and body, police said. According to a report by NBC Boston, the child was already unconscious and not breathing when they arrived. The boy was taken to a Massachusetts hospital where he was placed in a coma. He died a week later from his injuries.  

    Mohammad later confessed to using hot water and physical force to discipline his son, the outlet reported citing the dad’s affidavit. The child’s mother, Rainah Riley had previously made a complaint to child services about seeing signs of abuse after the child’s visitation with his dad but nothing was done, reports note.

    “This man was trying to kill my child,”

    she told the outlet. 

    After seeing her son’s injuries she said it looked like they were

    “from boiling water or oil,”

    or he may have been

    “set on fire.”

    She also revealed that one of the boy’s teeth had been knocked out and he had a head injury.

    “It is absolutely gruesome, it is horrific, and it is sickening to look at,”

    the mom said.

    “It makes me physically ill looking at my own son because of what this man did to him.”

    “The system has failed not only my child, but so many children,”

    the mom said.

    “And something needs to be done, because this isn’t OK. It’s not. Like, when is enough enough?”
