Our first in what I'm sure will be many Florida stories for 2008.
Police: Toddler's Skin Burned Off During Hot Oil-Hair Dryer Torture:
Reason to Blow Up the World...
APOPKA, Fla. -- A Central Florida man is accused of pouring hot cooking oil on a 17-month-old and using a hair dryer to burn his skin off because the toddler apparently would not stop crying and whining.
Police said Darlanne Toussaint was charged with felony attempted murder on suspicion he abused his girlfriend's son in an Apopka apartment building Thursday.
The mother of the child, Marlita S. Stokes, 23, was arrested on Friday and faces charges of child neglect and providing false information to police.
According to a charging affidavit, Toussaint poured the hot cooking oil on the boy, shook him hard for 10 minutes and then burned him with a blow dryer to the point that his skin fell off, Local 6 reported.
What the fuck? Is there like some underground society of child abusers that are trying to outdo each other?
What 'They' Should Do: Slowly lower him feet first into a giant deep fryer.
