TEMPE, Arizona (KPHO) – A Tempe woman was arrested Saturday on suspicion she forced a three-year-old girl under her care to eat feces as punishment, police said. The victim said she had spent six days with her father and Nicole Candelaria, 27, his girlfriend. The girl, who arrived home on Friday, told her mom she had defecated in the bathtub, according to a court document. The girl said Candelaria became upset and forced her to eat the feces, then forcefully held her down on the toilet, court paperwork stated. The girl’s two siblings, ages three and five, also reported that Candelaria forced the victim to eat her excrement, according to the probable cause statement. The victim was taken to a local hospital during early Saturday morning, where she was forensically examined. The medical team noted significant injuries to the girl’s private parts, the court document said. Bruising was observed on the girl’s chest, back, sides and legs. During her medical exam, the girl said that Candelaria held her down on the toilet seat and put soap in her mouth, according to court paperwork. The bruising on the victim’s side was consistent with being held down, the court document stated. After her arrest, Candelaria told police the victim lies often and said the injury on the girl’s back came from when she was playing with her and she playfully hit her too hard, court paperwork said. Candelaria told police she takes care of the three children while their father is at work. She admitted to bathing the children on Friday but denied injuring the victim, police said. Candelaria was booked into the Tempe City Jail on one count of child abuse – domestic violence.
I should hope so.
Bad Eyebrow Syndrome.
Drug addict face.
And those star tats ain't helpin' none.
That said, women are not the only ones to inflict bizarre child abuse, as your post implied.
You left a kid with that??!!!
Look where eating feces got her.
who in their right mind would put that person in charge of a toddler??
Who would even let such a creature around their children?
And, and what the heck are those stars supposed to mean!?
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
“I wonder if Laz would hit that?”
Funny I was thinking the same thing...
Headline should read, “Registered democrat.......”
Ohhhh, guilty as charged!
I bet the baby daddy doesn’t look like her
She should be sterilized.
You aren’t the only one I assure you!
I’m willing to bet the mother looks a lot like the perp, and is a raving moron.
As I understand it, she’s not the child’s mother or even stepmother. Children in the care of parents love interests are at higher risk for abuse. I don’t mean to slam people who have lovingly cared for a boyfriend or girlfriends children, but just saying. When people say that a marriage license is just a piece of paper, it’s something to keep in mind.
