This is one of the many reasons I am in favor of forced sterilizations.

18-year-old Chekayla Ariel Dampier, of Port Richey, Florida, was arrested Tuesday, April 17, 2012, and charged with with aggravated child abuse.

According to police, Dampier held her 7-week-old son, Emilio Jesus Bautista, under scalding hot water, because the baby wouldn't stop crying.

The infant was so severely burned, his left nipple came off when his shirt was removed, said authorities.

Initially, Dampier lied and blamed the child's injuries on her family members, but later confessed to placing her son in a washtub and running scalding hot water over him for nearly three minutes, said investigators.

Tampa General Pediatric Burn Unit physicians said the infant sustained second-degree burns to his head, chest, arms, eyes, and ears.

Citing a March 13, 2012. post on Dampier's Facebook page, little Emilo was born February 20, 2012.

The child is African American and Mexican.

Little Emilo's life will never be same... thanks to his mother.

I know people are going to blame this on postpartum depression, but after what she did, her reproductive organs should be ripped out and burned.
