Woman’s live-in girlfriend charged with abusing her son

Sandra Rose June 16, 2008

Police said the boy had countless cigarette burns all over his body, including his genitals, was unable to open his hands because he had been forced to put them flat on a hot stove, and was repeatedly beaten and forced to sit in his own urine.

“In my time in policing in 27 years, I have never seen anybody with these kinds of injuries that has lived,” Los Angeles Police Department First Assistant Chief James McDonnell said. “And this kid must have a tremendous will to live to be able to still hang on despite what he’s been through.”

The boy’s mother, Starkeisha Brown, 24, was arrested after she turned herself in to police on Friday evening.

Krystal Matthews, 19, who police described as Brown’s live-in girlfriend, was arrested earlier Friday when she showed up for an appointment with the state Department of Children’s Services, police said.

Thanks to loyal reader Kay for the tip!

What happened to the Warning about Yall Women need to Watch Out for these NO GOOD MEN WATCHING YOUR KIDS !!!!!! … Where’s the Moral Outcry for this Kid ?? ????

OH MY GAWD … Po Baby … I am literally tearing up at How much this poor baby had to go thru ….
alana

I hope both of those sorry heffa’s burn in hell for what they did to that poor child. People out here are CRAZY!!!
Made4Success

In Jesus’ Name I pray for this 5-year old. God we don’t always understand the things that go on in this world but we know that in the end, judgement belongs to you and you only!

…can’t even imagine, such innocence lost.

All women are not meant to be mothers.
Kymystry

@Made4Success … AMEN .. and AMEN
shunda

Those crazy bitches need to burn in hell. I don’t understand how people can mistreat a kid. If she did not want her son there a plenty of people that would of loved to have him and care for him.
DivaMama

This is too damn sad…I think of my kids and how I would RAISE ALL HELL if anyone were to do something like that to my children, especially when they are not blood. My prayers go out to this little one.
MOCHAMOMMY

So i guess its not only the men u meet in clubs that will hurt & abuse ur child. I pray that this child pulls thru & the bi+ches who did this is punished to the fullest extent of the law

My question is, what would make a person do this to her own child??? Lord, I hope it wasnt because this butch didnt want children. that would make this even sadder

I hope this child was saved in time and I pray he gets proper care going forward which sadly is not a given with the foster care system.

No words for this. Those “women” will be handled severly in jail, that’s for sure.
VAALLDAY

Goodness. I hope this little boy gets both the physical and mental help that he needs to combat the torture he has endured. I look at this and I wonder why some women who could care less about a child are given the rights to have one, but some women who desperately want a child and could show love sometimes have a hard time. I hope she is made to pay for what she’s done. Both of em.
Kymystry

I say .. Give these “women” the same punishment they inflected on the child .. skip the trial .. save the taxt payer’s money … Burn these heffa’s with Black N Milds .. put thier hands AND Feet on some buring hot coals … then let some mother who lost her child beat them senseless …. repeat this once a month …

A bit harsh may … well.. the baby didn’t have a chance and I’m PISSED to the highest level PISSTIVITY !!!

I cannot continue to read things like this. It’s sickening. This morning in the paper I was reading a story about how a 27 year old man had to be pulled off of a 1 or 2 year old toddler who he punched, kicked, and stomped to death. How in the world can these people do this to children. Makes me really hate people.
prynsexxx

My LORD! What is the state of this world coming to.

I just read where the police had to SHOOT and KILL this man who was beating, stomping, kicking, and slapping the child. People tried to intervene and the man did not stop. The literally had to shoot and kill this man. They said the baby had to be identified through DNA and blood, because of the severity of his beating.

These broads are/need to be……hell I’m at a loss for words. Seriously. How dare you do those things to a child! They better NOT let these tricks go. Starkeisha? Huh? 24 and 19? What? I’m done.

Damn #12 Mika

I just said the same thing. They (the police) killed that man!

http://myspace.com/latituded400 H-Town Shan

Everyone is not to meant to be a parent and there is nothing wrong with that. I wish more people would realize this. If so, more children’s lives would be saved. Children are just little versions of us and nobody deserves to be beat or whipped. This type of beating will scar this child mentally and will stay with him forever. I hope that the cycle of violence will stop here and that he won’t carry it forward to his own children.
http://notenoughrealmen.blogspot.com 2thick4u

Anyone can hurt your children.

Men or women.

She even played a part in the harm of her child.

This poor baby. This child has suffered some much. He will never be normal. He has been to torture.

I hope that be palced under the jail cell and burn in hell for destroying this child innocence.
DCREALEST

Lord have mercy on this child and his parents.

John 8:7
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”

so if any of us are without sin…then judge. if not, let us lift them all up in prayer.

Yup…sure did! I had to stop reading cause my stomach started knotting up. I have a two year old son and couldn’t imagine for the life of me something like that happening to him.

Wait…WAS or IS fighting for his life? Sorry, I work in Marketing and notice these things. He is still alive right?
trulyposh

PREACH, dcrealest!

it’s a terrible story and i definitely feel for the child. but we can’t judge those women; that’s something none of us here have the authority to do♥….
DMNB

How sad, I guess he didn’t have no one to come see about him.
ThatCarmen

May God be with this child now and forever no matter who’s care he is in.

May these women pay for their sins here on earth and forever in hell.

To all you parents: No matter what your child does during the course of the day, make sure that before they close their eyes at night; you tell them you love them and hold them close to you.

If your partner is more important than your child and you feel that you cannot give to someone who will properly care for them, …dont hurt the child….kill yourself.
Naturally_Sexy

What could a child possibly do to make a person hurt him that way? You have to be pure evil to do a child that way. This situation really saddens me.
shunda

I read about that man (dog) police had to kill as well. If I was a police officer I would have had no problem pulling that trigger. Kids are supposed to be raised to become future leaders not punching bags. I spanked my son for running out in the street and it was just a pop on the butt with my hand and I felt bad for days. These people have no feelings.
MOCHAMOMMY

Sean Bell gets killed for coming out of a strip club, but these women get to walk around, living life after damn near killing a child. Truly amazes me and scares the hell outta me.

Disbelief! For real, I’m with the ‘eye for an eye’ punishment. Getting back what you dish out policy.

Some of these people betta be lucky that vengence is not mine and I’m not the judge cause for all phedophiles (R’RUH KELLY) and abusers, men and women alike…I would begin with rusty razors to the private parts accompanied by hot alcohol and bleach. After that we’d follow up wit a dip in a tank full of hungry-azz piranahs (sp?), and then made to walk over some hot bar-b-que coals with a pair of cheap dollar store flip-flops on….*crazy look in my eye*, then they’d be free to go.

We’d have a lot less crime and crowded jails if our courts were like some third-world countries and their justice system!

This is just sad..I wish people would give up their kids for adoption if they dont want them, putting a child through this type of abuse will scare him forever and god forbid turn him into a serial killer.
Kymystry

Judgement Does belong to God and God only …

Just expalin this to me .. HOW did the lil boy get SO badly abused? ? ? WHY did the police arrest the mother and other woman if they didn’t have evidence to arrest ???

Not judging .. reacting to the FACTS presented …
PAGESINADIARY

SANDRA, ANY STORY INVOLVING KIDS BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES LITERALLY JUST READING.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS
ckarinwhite

As a social worker events like this don’t surprise me…I see stories like this daily. This little boy will be in my prayers as well as the other children whose abuse is going unreported.
cjlessie

Wow, and think that is all I can say. Well, pagesinadiary, my eyes are watery too. People don’t even treat animals like that, but will treat an innocent baby like that. Just sad:-(
prynsexxx

My question is –

Did the B!tch turn herself in OUT OF CONSCIENCE or did they find the boy in such a state, she went on the run and THEN turned herself in?

Did somebody report them?

What was butch b!tch going to an appointment with the state Department of Children’s Services for?

Does she have any kids of her own?

I pray for these ppl.

Like Whitney Houston said:
I believe the children ARE OUR future, teach them well and let them lead the way.

But how, when they have ppl/parents like these behind them!

May The Almighty bless.
MzDetermined

This is not cool at all…I pray for this poor innocent child and hope he recover’s with not too much damage. How could someone be so cruel to hurt a helpless child. Just sad!
PAHairston

Children don’t ask to be born, it’s the choices that we women make, primarily. There should be laws against some women having children, especially when they choose to have 3,4,5 babies by 3,4,5 different men, and in most cases all parties involved are unmarried, uneducated but most importantly unemployed. (How did Tupac put it: women with a church full of children.) Our children deserve better, yes they do. That’s all I’m saying. Ain’t trying to preach here but you know me. Just call me “Preacher Pam”. Remember, I ain’t got nothin’ but love for my people, nothing but love, especially for the children.

__________________________________________________

Dollar store flip flops? You better than me. I wouldn’t spend one buffalo wooden smashed penny on their asses to take cover behind some flip-flops. They wouldn’t get the satisfaction of having something covering their feet. They didn’t put the baby on some Dollar Store winter gloves when they made him lay his hands on a hot stove top.

As far as “walking”, nah, I would save them the use of their legs and let them lie flat on their back on a bed of hot coals. NAKED. Then nurse their wounds with salt and cayenne pepper.
trulyposh

for kymystry:

the little boy was abused by his mother and the gf. there’s no disputing that; which is why they were arrested. the crimes committed against that boy were severe; i’m not down playing that.
i am saying that based upon what *i choose* to believe, no one on this message board reserves the right to judge these two women. we all have done wrong at one point or another. it’s easy to convict, judge, and damn others to hell when we conveniently choose to forget all of the wrong that we’ve ever done.
there’s no way either one of them could justify their actions to me. but ultimately…i’m not their judge and they shouldn’t have to. yes, the two idiots will be put in front of a “jury of their peers.” but in the end…they won’t have to answer to the jury, either.
that’s just my take on the story….we’ll all have to pay for our transgressions (if we haven’t already). however, i’m not damning these two women to hell because i know i’ve fallen short, as well. not as short as these two…but i’ve fallen. the best thing we can do as *a village* is pray that this young, innocent boy is placed in the custody of an adult with a clear mind, loving heart, and peaceful spirit. we all know that he’s been through too much just to get lost in the foster care system…..♥
cinnamonkisses97

WTH , this makes me sick at the stomach!!!
Kymystry

@ trulyposh … I too have made that Choice and I am a Believer … I’m not daming them to hell .. no where in my post did I say that …I’ve fallen many many times. ..Thank You LORD you’ve given me the ability to come to You and repent … These women WILL have to stand before a jury of their peers .. and live with the conswquences …. I’m angry when I think about the gift that they abused …
trulyposh

@ kymystry…i can’t recall whether or not you damned them to hell but it seems like half of the other “commenters” (i just made that up) are. we’re all entitled to our own opinions….i just wanted to put mine out there. it’s just so easy to talk about your neighbor’s business, while trying to sweep your’s under the rug. know what i mean?
i wasn’t attacking you, personally and my apologies if you took it that way.
two things i can’t tolerate are violence against children and animals. this story hurts my heart. at the same time…we don’t know all of the details and/or events leading up to these arrests. He works in mysterious ways…because of that…i’m taking my focus off of the imbeciles and praying that the lil’ boy makes a healthy recovery and gets all of the love & support that he truly needs.
auntie, why are you getting us all emotional at work on a monday? ♥
ThatCarmen

Kymystry… No doubt you have the right to be angry. Dont defend your emotions as we are all human.

I am angry as well. And Lord knows that He will have to judge me with a His striking hand if something happens to my baby at the hand of another (she is 2) because there is no doubt in my mind that I would be judge, jury , and executioner in the event. I get the whole “No one can judge but, God” thing. I too am well versed in the Bible but, what I will not do is pick parts of it out to benefit only one beleif on a subject. As there are other parts written that support us judging our peers and holding people accountable while here on earth. Their salvation rests with God….but, here on earth, during instances like this, we are allowed to judge and sentence other humans in order to prevent such actions and keep others safe. So, yes, …. I have judged. These chicks should be punished here on earth and with whatever sentence is found as being justice within our system. And hopefully, nothing I have written is taken out of context. If you are angry on this subject, there is no need in defending it. You are human and have every right to feel your emotions. And God bless those who have restraint on their emotions as that is a very hard thing to do ….and very admirable as well. And yes, unless they can truly give their lives back to the Lord, they will be damned to hell…thats not judging…thats a fact.

and that is nothing against trulypolish….. its nice to see…for once, people referring to the Bible instead of the next issue of Vibe : ) : ) ….Thank you Sandra for making us think this morning!

How anyone could put someone else BEFORE their own child? Too worried bout your “girlfriend” leaving you so you let your child suffer. I believe there should be a test and licenses given to have children.

ThatCarmen…i’m not gonna take it personally. i understand that you like, every other commenter, is an individual and i respect your opinion. i am not a mother. so, while i feel for the boy; i don’t know how you mothers are truly feeling about this. i can imagine….but i don’t know. however, i’m not just picking and choosing parts of the Bible that i think will justify my beliefs right now. that’s honestly how i feel about all people. who be it of me to talk about how so-and-so’s going to hell for being a hoe when i know that i was dropping like it’s hott last saturday night and not in church on sunday morning? how i choose to not judge these women is the same way i choose to not judge my auntie sandra for her ‘lifestyle.’ and at the same time…i don’t allow for others to judge me. that right is reserved for one individual that affects my life more than any other influence out there. i mean…after these commenters ‘punish and condemn’ these women…then what? i doubt any one here will be on the jury or sitting at His right hand side when their time comes. ♥
HouStar

Did anyone else read the link to the actual story? These monsters were called into a visit at a CPS office and tried to pass off another child as her own. They found her real child (the one that was abused) alone when these monsters were trying to pass off one of her friends kids as her boy. I cant understand how anyone in their right mind could even try to defend these monsters. Everything that was done to this little boy should be done to them 10x over this makes me sick…

BEST POEM IN THE WORLD!
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven’s door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp–
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, “What’s the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How’d all these sinners get up here?
God must’ve made a mistake.
“And why’s everyone so quiet,
So somber – give me a clue.”
“Hush, child,” He said, “they’re all in shock.
No one thought they’d be seeing you.”
JUDGE NOT.
Remember…Just going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more
than standing in your garage makes you a car!!!!!

I used to get angry and pissed off when hearing ish like this, but when you sit and dissect the situation, you ask yourself, who was the someone who failed those two chicks?
Feel free to copy the poem.

@Kymstry

It hurts when we see anyone suffer ESPECIALLY children, can you imagine how angry God gets? For me, I look at it like that could’ve been me, cause just like those girls, I’m full of flaws too, but I thank God that that’s not a pathway I chose for my life, so it’s up to us to teach those coming up under us you can do better with God in the equation. Only the spirit of God can renew those two ladies hearts, so in essence, everything they’ve done to that child looks and is despicable, but they still have a chance to make it right with the Lord, as we all do.

trulyposh:

I have the right to judge anybody I would like, this is my believe just as other people will live their life at their beleifs.

Anybody that can harm a child that has done nothing to anybody deserves death. Mistakes my ass. This is not a mistake a mistake is “accidentally dropping an iron on the kid while ironing my clothes and missing the iron holder and the kid happened to be right there”. He can’t open his hands because he has been burnt on the stove??? Cigarette burns all over his body?? Even the genitals – If these gay chicks hate men so much don’t take it out on the boy. (I believe that anybody can do whatever they like live however they want, but it doesn’t mean that I have to agree with it).

Since one of the chicks wants to be a dude, won’t they lock her up in a men’s prison, so she can get the royal treatment! F&&k them h**s and their rights. They gave that up when they did that ish
trulyposh

@ dblaq:

judge whomever you want. like i said…everyone is entitled their own opinions. the difference between me & you is that i don’t disrespect other’s for not thinking like me.

my position still hasn’t changed….i’ll let the higher power i answer to cast the judgment. i highly doubt however you (or any other commenters) feel about the accused is going to impact whatever punishment they receive. sounds to me like a bunch of wasted energy. why don’t you focus on the boy, the victim in this situation, rather than try to judge two women who will be dealt with accordingly? and more importantly…they won’t be dealt with by you♥

@ kymystry…i’m out this piece like crack & steroids…and YES, i got it all done, girl.

First of all, what is up with all the judging and bible versus? Everytime something goes on controversial all yall hens get to cackling and judging. This is not sunday at church,pray for the little boy but being overly religious and judging this mother is doing a tad too much. second here is the mother Starkiesha(sp) myspace page

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=171787131

I looked at her myspace and if she hated her son so much to torture him, why did she put on her page that her son and her girlfriend meant everthing to her and that nothing in life can compare to them? I dont believe everything the media puts out. If she did it,she obviously had to be loaded or something . I cant imagine a woman publicly exclaiming her love for her child then secretly torturing him. 3rd this is a blog,its supposed to be fun and entertaing, yes this post is sad and whomever hurt that lil boy needs to get it,but yall need to look in your own life and judge and pray on that if you aint living right.Inno0cent till proven guilty is a term some of yall need to say over and over.SMH if any of you all ever serves on a jury I said this before you cant just go by what you read in papers or hear on tv, not to mention what your cousin run-run may have told you.

Yep, it happened in Turlock, CA. I just heard that crazy story this morning myself. On Father’s Day he did that off all days, so sad. Ofcourse any day of the year is never right to hurt or kill a child.

God bless the children.

To #19, anyone can be judged when they attack an innocent, helpless, child. What you said made absolutely NO SENSE. No human being in their right mind would EVER do something like this.

Is it me or do they look like they could be sisters/or brothers? Lord, protect that child. I no longer try and comprehend why people do the things they do.
dblaq

@ candi, maybe it was the girlfriend only who knows if the girlfriend is the one to the right then she looks like she whooped both of them. Either way it goes f**k both of them and whatever they wrote on their myspace. Action speak louder than words so that boy was abused that all that matters.

@ missdirection – People are evil creatures and our society is condoning things way too much. I really see that we are completely out of control, all these killings, boyfriends chopping they girlfriends up, child molestation, dudes wanna be girls, chicks wanna be dudes, etc. And it has nothing to do with the Bible. Our society does this shit. Back in the day your neighbor and teacher was able to whoop yo ass when you did wrong. We were scared to do things in our neighborhood because “Ms. Johnson” would always watch and tell our mama. Now you can’t even whoop your own kids. There is a big difference in abuse and disciplining your kid. We have no values, morals and respect simple and plain.

Karma is an BEAST these females need to pray for mercy!!!!

The difference is that the man was mentally ill and actively hallucinating when he killed that boy. These two are completely sane and knew what they were doing. There’s a big difference.
