A babysitter charged with murdering a 16-month-old boy whose family lived in the same Staten Island building subjected him to hours of physical and sexual abuse while he was left in her care over the weekend, prosecutors said on Wednesday.

The babysitter, Gloria Fields, made her first appearance in Criminal Court on Wednesday, where a prosecutor outlined accusations of torture that led to outbursts of sobbing and screaming from the child’s relatives and others packed into the courtroom.

Another excessively violent Democrat?

Amish?

This is the type situation where I would probably not call the police, because, more than likely, I’d be the one going to prison.

[envisio]

Sometimes I like to pretend that my pointy courser thingy is the front sight of my 300blackout and I place it right between the eyes of people in pictures like that. POW!

The perp in happier times:

[envisio]

She ain’t did nut’n.

[armydawg505]

I could not control my actions in that situation.

Anthony was with Ms. Fields from Friday to Sunday, and during that time, she used heroin and smoked marijuana, according to a criminal complaint.

[unixfox]

Just execute the bitch already.

[steel_resolve]

Agreed. I would stomp her until she was dead.

“Anthony was with Ms. Fields from Friday to Sunday, and during that time, she used heroin and smoked marijuana, according to a criminal complaint”

Usually, that disqualifies our choice of babysitter.

[baltimorepoet]

One can only hope that when she is sent to prison, that the cell block is made aware of the fact that she was a child abuser.

[Gamecock]

Perhaps in that neighborhood that qualifies her, since Crack and Purple Drank were not in play.

[IronJack]

The bone through her nose certainly recommends her as a reliable childcare provider.

[Crucial]

Oh, they’ll find out, one way or another.

[Gamecock]

First thing I look for!

[apocalypto]

What a monster! Cases like this deserve the death penalty.

[nclaurel]

What a beautiful boy. How could anyone do that? I imagine the mother will have a lifetime of guilt for leaving him with this animal when other family lived in the same building and could have kept him.
