HOUSTON Police say a 6-month-old Houston girl was sexually assaulted, had her tongue nearly severed and suffered broken bones from head to toe.
She's clinging to life today, and her parents have been charged with injury to a child.
The infant is in critical condition at Texas Children's Hospital.
Twenty-one-year-old Ivan Castaneda and 19-year-old Donna Marie Norman brought their daughter to the hospital Wednesday.
Child Protective Services spokeswoman Estella Olguin says Castaneda and Norman originally took the baby to a hospital in north Houston to be treated for congestion.
Doctors, however, discovered the baby had severe internal and external injuries and transferred her to Texas Children's Hospital, where medical officials contacted police.
Officers interviewed and arrested the baby's parents.
You may be right....
These people need to be impaled on a stake and left in the desert to die.
"Twenty-one-year-old Ivan Castaneda and 19-year-old Donna Marie Norman brought their daughter to the hospital Wednesday."
I always wonder what they are thinking when they switch from assualter back to parent mode. Do they really think they won't be found out?
Really, people like this should be executed.
Or buried up to their neck next to a fire-ant hill.
Maybe it's matter of IQ or something. We had a case here where they brought in a baby that was OD'd --- the father right away told the doctors they gave the baby drugs to keep him from crying. I guess they didn't realize their infant couldn't handle the same dose as they could.
I hope this pair finds their names have not been written in the Book of The Living.
Or, have their knees broken and left in the desert crawl around and die.
If proven guilty, these subhumans deserve the death penalty.
I think they should receive 3 squares a day, a trip to the salad bar, a nice mattress with blankets, daily visits to the gym and their own cable TV. How horrific is the truth!!!
This is what capital punishment is for.
Clarification --- I think it's maybe IQ that makes them not realize taking the baby to the doctor isn't going to get them in trouble --- but not IQ that makes them hurt the child in the first place. Animal parents show far more compassion and nurturing than these humans.
Simply put, and well-said!
And then some.

Parents Charged In 'Worst Case Of Abuse Ever Seen'
Parents Could Face Capital Murder Charge If 6-Month-Old Daughter Dies
"This is the worst case of abuse that I've personally seen," Houston Police Department Sgt. Randy Upton said. "She had some skull fractures, brain contusions, hemorrhaging, liver injuries, lung and kidney problems, signs of sexual abuse, as well as a severe laceration across her tongue."
This gives more gruesome detail..God forgive me for how I feel about what these parents deserve.
Child welfare had them in their sights over another child earlier..Grrrrrr
It's like the case in NM the other week --- a 5 week old baby --- the father admits to deliberately breaking her leg bones and ribs --- yet the parents took her to the hospital when she was close to death.
"Maybe it's matter of IQ or something."
I'd agree with you, but then I recall Joel Steinberg and Hedda Nussbaum. They were both sick and murderous people, but I'm quite sure their IQs were up near the top.
Nah, it ain't smart vs. stupid; it's good vs. evil.
