Landlord spots centerfold from Hustler magazine in boy's room, calls deputies

The Bakersfield Californian

It's not every mother who would put up a Hustler centerfold picture in her 2-year-old son's room.

KW Associates, Realtors Just because he asked her to.

It might have just been a parenting issue for the mom, Marisa Nicole Sivesind of Bakersfield, who reportedly said she put up the graphic picture because she didn't want her son to call her vulgar names, Kern County sheriff's reports say. She allegedly told a deputy that it was her son who asked her to buy the porn magazine a week earlier when they were in a liquor store.

As the boy was thumbing through the magazine in a bedroom he shares with his 1-year-old sister, he picked out the centerfold of a nude woman purportedly named "Lexi Marie."

He asked his mom to put it up on the bedroom wall. That's where an apartment manager saw it and reported the incident to authorities.

Deputies arrested Sivesind on Jan. 21 in the 600 block of Morning Drive after a neighbor and a landlord reported the matter to the deputies.

Sivesind is charged with providing harmful matter to a minor.

The 22-year-old mother was also charged with a misdemeanor criminal threat, for allegedly threatening to kill a neighbor.

The alleged threat came as Sivesind sat in a patrol car and saw her neighbor taking the 2-year-old to a social worker, the reports say.

The threat was "I'm going to get you," but later, as she was being booked into jail, she reportedly said, "I might be going for six hours this time, but I'll go for 25-to-life for murder the next time."

The threats came after she allegedly called her neighbor the same bad names she didn't want her son to call her.

Sivesind pleaded not guilty to both charges Friday and was set for a pretrial hearing Feb. 25 in Kern County Superior Court.

She is free from jail after posting bond.

If there are other such clues, I'm not going to infer them out of nothingness. I think it pretty unfair to judge whether a person is 'balanced' or not - and I don't recall 'balance' being a requirement for one's basic rights - based on their behavior after someone has perfidiously taken their child away.

I think the busy bodies should have minded their own business.....no harm was being done, no abuse, no lack of love...this was a picture on the wall, and now the children are in the horrors of no parent, no Mother because of some SOB with no life.,.... Horrible move, horrible neighbor and total abuse by the state. Get the F out

I'm going to side with you on this one. The authorities have really over reacted. When you consider the damage that will be done to the kid by their actions, it is far worse than a two year old looking at a centerfold on the wall.

"Hey mom! Tie that tourniquet on my arm and shoot me up proper!...uh...I mean...ga-ga-goo-goo?"

I guess the slutty magazine made her look lady-like in comparison?

"Here's an idea...if I teach my kids that SHE'S ok, then he'll KNOW I'm not a whore..."

What on earth does one have to be smoking to have these thoughts??

This was hustler... there has got to be some kind of law against exposing a child to pornography. I'd like to hear the take of some people here if a single father had put pics of a hustler centerfold (that he bought in a liquor store at the request of a 2yr old!?!) on the wall in his 2 yr old daughters room.

This is sexual abuse... it's not about naked people ,it's HUSTLER, those photos are porn meant to arouse men.

Yes. The two year old dicn't have a clue what that center fold was about. He may have liked it because of the pretty colors in the picture or the model may have been holding a cute teddy bear or something.

The Mother may be guilty of bad judgement in the "reading" material she let her toddler have access to and may have been guilty of caving in to the demands of a two year old. Neither of which is a crime and not worthy of losing her child over.

On the other hand I wonder where the child picked up any bad names to call his Mother and what might they be? I'm thinking he may have called her "poopie head" and it hurt her feelings. Still no crime though.

The whole story stinks,

Who on earth would find that funny???

Surely you have heard the joke, Like father like son. The dad probably reads Hustler so someone thought it would be funny to have the kid doing something that looked like what dad did.

It does not have to a pin up picture of a girl. People do the same thing dressing their kids up like adults, putting them in simulated adult situations.

The next thing you know we will be arresting people that take a picture of their kid with a beer in their hand or pretending to be working with a power tool (guess that would be someone claiming it promotes breaking of child labor laws).

This country has gone off the deep end.

Two year olds are weaned off the bottle and should be off the boob also.

The nastiest thing I ever saw was a toddler running up to it's mother and popping her tit out to suck on. There's a time and a place and 2 and 3 have passed their time at the breast.

Neither would I. She said that her 2 yr old told her to put up the pic as a remedy to his bad behavior. That is substantial evidence ... of her deranged state of mind. She said he was "thumbing" through a magazine at the liquor store. That's a substantive statement which sounds so odd that a rational mind would call it into question. She made death threats in the presence of LEO witnesses. That is so substantive it bears enough weight to have her arrested which she was.

That is not nothingness. That's more than enough to infer her state of mind which is why she was charged with a misdemeaner for making threats. Nothing is said about why the landlord was there yet you infer wrongdoing on his part. Nothing was said about what the neighbors did or did not witness yet you infer wrongdoing on their part. You apparently will infer lots of things out of nothingness if it suits you yet ignore substantial clues about her state of mind.

I think it pretty unfair to judge whether a person is 'balanced' or not - and I don't recall 'balance' being a requirement for one's basic rights - based on their behavior after someone has perfidiously taken their child away.

No one has judged her. That's what the due process of court is for. For my part I suspect her not judge her and legally it was enough to be probable cause. There is no indication that her rights were denied. If the arrest was wrongful she can avail herself of due process like anyone else. It doesn't give her the right to break the law. Threatening people violates their rights.

Don't spit on the street... There's a law for everything, now, and the chances are good that you are breaking some of them...

Prude bump!

Do women look at Hustler? How would that be funny to have a picture of Hustler in a 2 year old girls room? That does not make sense. Maybe if it was a chippendale dancers poster, that might be funny. And certainly nothing to get arrested about.

You make a good point about frivolous laws.

Is misdemeanor criminal threat for threatening murder one of them?

Where I read reaction like this I am real glad I don't have any more children to raise. They could be taken away at any moment for any reason. The two year old is not going to be corrupted by a picture from Hustler magazine. And by the time he is eight he is going to have a couple of them stashed aways somewhere to look at with his friends.

You people act so surprised by the world. It has been the same way for all of time. If you are concerned about this sort of thing, teach your kids what is right and wrong. They will still look at the Hustler magazine but at least they will know what it is they are looking at, what you think of it.
