August 15, 2007 -- The monster mom accused of standing by and letting her beaten baby die scoffed when told she was being charged with manslaughter, authorities said yesterday.
"Manslaughter? That's not too bad - I'll be out in three to five," Marlene Medina, 24, of Staten Island, allegedly told cops when informed she'd be facing that charge after the death of her 21-month-old daughter, Hailey Gonzalez.
According to a source, Medina's shocking indifference was in line with what she had previously told cops when she was arrested last week: "Am I going to jail? I'm going to lose my apartment. All my stuff is in my apartment."
Medina was arraigned yesterday along with her boyfriend, Edwin Garcia, 30, whose charges were upgraded to murder when Hailey was taken off life support and died Sunday.

Ms. Cintron's husband, Gilberto Reyes, said he had to resist the urge to rush the suspects as they stood before the judge.
"I saw my hands around their necks," he said, adding, though, that he realized he couldn't meet one wrong with another. "Let the system handle them."
But second-degree murder -- and, for Ms. Medina, the lesser charge of second-degree manslaughter -- isn't severe enough for Ms. Cintron and her family.
"Life -- let her sit there, just rot," Ms. Cintron said.

The mom from hell.
I call “meth”. Of course these days, more and more folks are pure evil, but you have to also consider man-made drug use as well.
This isn’t like all these poor kids, but this is what habitual drug use does. My son got an email on myspace from his “stepsister” stating that her mother’s bf had broken Snowball’s back. He came in, and I guess the dog tripped him or something. My son called the house, and the asshole answered. They got into a heated discussion, to put it mildly. My bf wanted to drive 200 miles and throw Wayne up against the wall to see how he liked it.
Well, my bf’s girl called the next day, and said it was an accident. Yeah right. Then her godforsaken mother called my bf, and said she needed money, because they had to put Snowball down. Nerve of her. Put the pipe down, you worthless (can’t print what I really think of them).
The middle one told her daddy that the cops were watching the house, several months ago. This makes me smile :-D
The only thing Marlene Medina cares about is losing her Section 8, welfare, WIC, and food stamps.
