Police arrest two in squalid home; woman found chained to machine:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

A mother and son were arrested after police found them living in squalor with another family member chained to a weight machine.

Police were called after a 27-year-old man complained that his 2-year-old son was being kept from him by the boy’s grandmother, Sally M. Adams, 56.

At Adams’ residence police found the house so cluttered that it was difficult to move, according to reports. There was a strong smell of urine and feces, “so strong that it almost made me vomit,” one officer said.

The child was found strapped into a car seat on top of a mattress in a dark bedroom. His diaper had apparently not been changed in several days.

Officers also found a 38-year-old woman, daughter of the 56-year-old woman, tethered to a weight machine by a rusty chain around her ankle. Wearing only a T-shirt, she was covered in and surrounded by urine and feces, police said.

The woman, who weighed only 60 to 70 pounds, was not able to walk, and numerous marks were found on her back.

Adams told police her daughter suffers from mental health problems and had the mental capacity of a 5-year-old.

Her 34-year-old son, Ernest Claiborne, said he chained her up to prevent her from running away.

At what point does someone think "You know it would be a great idea to chain my handicapped daughter to weight machine and let her crap all over herself"?

One point for the crap house, another point for the two-year-old being strapped in the car seat, another for him being in a days old diaper, one more for chaining the daughter to a weight machine, another for using a rusty chain, one more for letting her stand in her own waste, another for obviously beating her, another for starving her, and one last point for thinking in some twisted way that this was a good idea. That's 9.

Dog euthanized, police say after St. Croix County man used plastic spoon to hurt animal:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

A Wisconsin man has been arrested on suspicion of animal mistreatment after he allegedly put a plastic spoon in a dog's rear end, resulting in the dog's death.

It was reported Jan. 1 that a dog had been yelping for a couple hours at a residence in Roberts, Wis. A neighbor went to check on the dog and reportedly found a plastic spoon protruding from the animal's rectum, police said.

When officers responded to the home, they found an 8-inch plastic spoon with blood on the handle, said St. Croix County Sheriff Dennis Hillstead.

Police arrested Michael Wondra, a 25-year-old resident of the home where the dog was found, on suspicion of intentional mistreatment of animals. Hillstead said he did not know if Wondra was the dog's owner.

Police: Plymouth man woke up six kids to beat them:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

A 23-year-old Plymouth man was charged Monday with six counts of felony physical abuse of a child causing bodily harm and three misdemeanors – disorderly conduct, criminal trespass and mistreating animals – after allegedly waking up six kids from bed and hitting them.

Jerry J. Lundy could face up to six years in prison for each of the felony child abuse counts and 21 months in prison for the misdemeanors.

Plymouth Police was dispatched at about 3 a.m. Sunday. At the home, Ronald Lesko told police that he was the father of the six children in the house – ages ranging from 10 to 17 – and that Lundy had been hitting the children.

Lundy had let himself into the unlocked home and started yelling at the children to “Wake up and get out of bed or I’ll kill you.” He went into the children’s bedrooms, tried to drag them out of bed and pushed and hit them.

During the incident, the children’s chocolate lab, Hunter, was trying to protect them. Lundy kicked the dog four to five times and also hit the dog in the head with his fists three to four times.

Lundy admitted that he may have hit the kids harder than he wanted to due to his level of intoxication and that he was irritated that the kids were not respecting their father. He said he was trying to scare them a little. He also said he needed to “show authority” to the dog.

Lundy’s blood-alcohol level was 0.234, almost three times the legal limit.

What a big man. He needs to beat kids and a dog to show authority. I hope he tries to show authority to the prison guards and other prisoners.

One point for each kid that he beat (6), another point for beating the dog, another point for being such a pseudo-macho douchebag, another point for basically breaking into the house, and three last points for being three times over the legal limit. That's 12.
