Further details in toddler beating death. Mom surfed for Pippa pics & music instead of calling 911.

(This was partially reported back in April, but the additional details are coming out about what the "mom" did after the toddler was beaten to unconsciousness by his 12 yr old half brother.)



When Biannela Susana's 2-year-old son was savagely beaten -- and eventually killed -- by his 12-year-old half-brother, Christian Fernandez, a few months ago, she obviously didn't think much of it. The mom waited almost four hours before calling for medical help after her toddler son, David Galarriago, was beaten into unconsciousness. What was she doing during this time? Oh, you know, just a little online banking, some downloading of music, and perusing photos of Pippa Middleton and David and Victoria Beckham. The usual stuff one does while their son lay there bloody and unconscious.

If Biannela wasn't such a sociopathological moron, and she called for help right away, her son would have still been alive. Prosecutors said by the time her son was rushed to hospital, it was too late to save him due to the severity of his injuries. His older brother had slammed David's head into a bookshelf, causing him to die from blunt force trauma. While the toddler was knocked out, Biannela did Google the phrase "when somebody gets knocked out" and went to a site about concussions 11 times. (Again, in between checking celebrity sites and watching music videos.) She and her son are getting theirs now, though. Sort of.

Christian could become America's youngest person ever to serve "life in prison" after being charged as an adult over the murder of his brother at their Florida home. This wasn't his first offense against his brother (more at link)

Every day when I get done reading the big news, I look at a couple of crime, science, and entertainment stories. It seems that far too frequently I'll get to the point where they say in a crime story that the incident happened in Florida. Is it just me noticing FL? I don't know, but it sure seems like a good quarter or more of the stories about crazy violence is from here. This lady didn't have a good start to life as it is, as she was impregnated around 11 and had this boy at 12.

1. I live in Florida

and have never hit anybody. Using man-made state lines as an indication of anything is ridiculous.
And maybe we just catch - and publicize - more people doing bad things, here in Florida.
When I lived in North Carolina, years ago, racism seemed so out in the open that I mentioned it to a black co-worker; I had just moved to North Carolina from Illinois.
She told me that people were just as racist up north - they were just sneakier about it.
Be careful of painting things with a broad geographical brush; too easy and never accurate. This is what the right wingers do, actually, demonize people and groups and places cheaply and easily.

2. He looks like a baby

What was the mother thinking?? How is it a murder case when it was the mother's fault that the child actually died??
