A mother in Murrieta was arrested Wednesday after her 3-year-old twin sons were hospitalized for malnutrition and neglect.
Police arrested Courtney Lynn Stewart, 24, and charged her with willful harm to a child and corporal punishment or injury to a child.
According to police, one of Stewart's 3-year-old sons was hospitalized in critical
condition at Rancho Springs Hospital Nov. 7. Hospital staff found the child to be severely malnourished, weighing less than 15 pounds. He also had what they determined to be suspicious bruises. Staffed called police to the hospital before the boy was taken to Rady Children's Center in San Diego. He remained hospitalized in the ICU Wednesday.
Police launched an investigation at the child's home later that day. They found the child's twin brother also appearing to suffer from malnutrition. He was taken to the hospital for an examination, where staff determined he had a fractured jaw, and severe case of nutritional and medical neglect.
Stewart is being held at the Southwest Detection Center.culled
Na wah.this child abuse thing is really confusing and varies.especially if you live in the diaspora...where does discipline end and where does child abuse begin?
So many times I wanna discipline my kids the Nigerian way but If i try it,i will do time oh..lol
Instead of u honker to maltreat ur kids, bring them to me..let me give them good life..they would forget u in a hurry. C'est comme ca
ReplyDeleteStellikoko make I teach u jare,take ruler beat under der feet,oyinbo no go c traces......hehehehe
DeleteOmg@beat under their feet!!! Why would you want to spank a child to the extent of leaving marks or with intentions of concealing bruises?? Like how hard do you spank?? Abeg oooh
DeleteLol
ReplyDelete..Stella abeg no try am oooo.
The only discipline Nigerian Parents know pepper down there and the eyes..hehehe
Una good morning jare.
Have a fruitful day!
Malnutrition isn't discipline.
ReplyDeleteWith the current wave of news cropping up here and there from obodo oyibo and here regarding how people kill, maltreat their kids, am beginning to think there is something they breath in the air or eat from their food or drink from their water that makes their brain alter and go gaga. The other day I read how parents beat their own baby to death. They beat the child so much his intestine ruptured.
I just don't get it anymore.
Nne,exactly.There must be something making their brains go gaga cos dere is no oda way i can even begin to understand dis Bikonu.
DeleteKids suffering at d hands of d very people Who are supposed to love and protect dem....Odiegwu o
Its called bills !! The amount of stress we get from these companies ! Letters in red if ur just few days late , attention we coming ,we coming ,hiannn everybody works crazy hours ,tiredness n exhaustion leads to anger ,depression and frustration to the ones closest to us ! Sad but its the abroad life hence more abuse cases
DeleteI read about a couple that were forcing their tender child to become a vegetarian..cutting off vital nutrients from the child's diet without proper knowledge of what they were doing...the child kept losing weight..and dunno if he eventually gave up..but relatives reported they couple and they got arrested!
DeleteServes her right, the long arm of the law has caught up with her.
ReplyDeleteYour comment will be visible after approval
Well discipline doesn't mean deprivation,parents need to learn to discipline in love and not out of anger. Why deprive a 3year old food?A 3year old would always behave like one,it takes patience,love and maturity on the parents part,and these are your kids not someone else's,abi dem force you to born?reminds me of the maid that was sentenced somewhere in Africa.#SayNoToChildAbuse
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm,oriegwu! This child abuse of a thing is now like everyday news,too bad.morning sdk visitors,morning Stella.. *LEENDAH*
ReplyDeleteIt is really child abuse or how can she account for a 3 year old with a fractured jaw and the other one with bruises? They shouldn't even be malnourished... If she is jobless she can get welfare for the kids ... Sick woman... Wey people they find pikin she wan kill her own...
ReplyDeleteIt would have been better to either abort or give up the kids for adoption since she isn't ready to be responsible for them. Nah wah o!
ReplyDeletestarving a child is very wrong tho.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmn! Na wa oh.
ReplyDeleteWhy will someone bring a child to life that u know u cannot take care of? It just baffles me. I pray the child survives.

DeleteTanx @u'all @TGW na nysc do me strong thing ooo :)
Deletei know the laws abroad can be quite crazy when it comes to child abuse but this particular case is a clear cut example of child abuse. A 3 year old weighing less than 15 lbs along with fractured jaws and all. Even if you were to discipline your child, would you do that to the extent of starving and breaking his or her jaws? I think not...at least if you're still sane that is.
ReplyDeleteLol@the nigerian way....
ReplyDeleteIf all those laws work here,majority of our parent would know wsp but a typical child is prone to beating but abuse no no...When you abuse a child too much,hanhan datz wickedness na or how do you sleep@night?
We may not really know cos somtimes abuses can for a long time but u can enlighten urself bout child sexual abuse by clicking my name.

DeleteOlivia, wow.
DeleteBest mature reply, ever.
Stella, this is what we call James Blunt kinda epic reply.
Olly Popo, the Fixer. Lol.
You shouldn't have joined issues with a morally bereft individual.
It's not worth it.
*sigh* here we go again...
DeleteEveryone is entitled to their own opinion. Its really funny how we make a fuss out of very trivial issues.
Everybody can't like you, the fact remains that we now live in a world where it's "legal" to kiss ass and a crime to be real. Some days I like Stella's comments/posts and some days I just waka pass. That doesn't make me an enemy. I'm a strong believer of airing your views without insults. I have this close friend who I confide in but the closeness doesn't mean that we don't have heated arguments. In fact if you want to see a real "fight" just ask us about our political views. But after everything, friendship continues.
This is just a blog and even if you have a blog ID, you are still anonymous except in cases where you use your real name and photo.
It won't be surprising (to me) to find out that all the people that shower accolades on you in the open are the same ones that murder you in secret.
The same person that you insult for airing his/her views might just be the neighbour that gave you your only meal yesterday or someone you helped... might even be your mum ( my mum is 62 but she's tech savvy)
We have so many brave people here but in reality, they are cowards.
There's so much energy flying around on this blog and I wonder why Nigeria is still the way it is. This is the kind of energy we need to stop police officers that harass innocent citizens but when that time comes, the heavyweight champions we have here will automatically turn to featherweights....
Enough of my ramblings
Hahahaha
DeleteDrama!!!
Easy babes!!!
Am outa here!!
I read olivias comments yesterday and she was rude.i am waiting for in house news.
DeleteTeam Ezenwanyi.
Goddess of Dawn, abeg change this your photo. I liked the old one better.
DeleteSorry it's you blogger account and your photo, it's just my opinion.
.....My goodness!!...why people choose to fight with complete strangers is beyond me. Just because we gather to read a blog does not mean we know eachother. Some people have taken this blog too personal and its becoming annoying. Enough of the catty fights and insults. Read, comment if need be and move on for petes sake!!!

Oliviasilk ran away after so much bashing on her birthday post and she crept back and thought we had forgotten all about it.
Oliviasilk take it from me,U are very handsome. Bwahahahaha.......
Stella, I swear I don't understand you most times. You said you don't like people calling other people "UGLY" yet you did not waste time in posting Ezenwanyi's several comments where she called Oliviasilk UGLY and rained curses on people's parents. If na someone else now u no go gree post.
DeleteExcuse me please, who the fuck is Ezenwanyi that everybody is licking her smelly ass? For crying out loud who?
Uniki pussy Daniel, I thought you were a man. A big shame on you!
For all we know, Ezenobody is posting comments from an asylum and only gets to use a pc or phone once in a while cos hers is a special kind of madness (the off and on type). Abi how else would you explain why a SUPPOSED wife of a billionaire only derives pleasure in constituting a public nuisance on SDK's blog? (Oniro oshi) Is it not obvious? No happy, decent, respectable woman with a life would descend so low as to put herself in situations where every Tom, Dick and Harry insults and disrespects all in the name of "I get crase for head". Wetin? Which crase? People dey wey go bring dat crase down for you if only the owner of this blog isn't the partial type.
You better go chillax, calm your nerves, coolu temper so you don't trip and break your neck. Ahn ahn. Won fi she yin ni? Get a freaking life jor. Shameless, annoying piece of shit. Come and start barking as usual. Were alaso!
Bwahahahaha.........see old spinsters like eka,olivia and bitchbiko....even in their "chastity of decency"thry still cant find a decent man.
DeleteI am who I am,just hating me wont make make U.
Bring it on jhor!!!
Ezenwanyi Ukwu Sugar is a powerful and rich woman @ Arabanko and other bittered souls,it pains U guys so much to read about my fabulous life and I sometimes wonder Y d painment but I get it cos "bitterness is d only skill U guys ve got,and that achieves one thing alone..it burns souls,so keep burning while I continue shinning after all Ezenwanyi Ibilibi Ogada is a STAR.
DeleteBwahahahaha.........
Guys like Arabanko,Eka,Oliviasilk and Bitchbiko are like graveyard than can never be satisfied.
DeleteThey ve set themselves up for failure,cos they ve put Ezenwanyi in d center of their lives and thus can't peace cos there will always be something about Ezenwanyi that will keep them downcast and send them into deep mourning..
...am telling U guys,just as I've told d fools b4 U that 2000000 all joined together cant do shit!!U ve no balls,spineless,cowardly and utterly useless.
Queen ndi Arabanko is so poor in spirit that Ezenwanyi's affairs is central to everything she represents...she is my slave!!!cos when I sneeze,she will catch bird flu,her dream is in black and white,that's y U see her always quacking like an epileptic duck.
DeleteI ve serve U breakfast and lunch,digest and let me know ur thoughts as I will be extremely busy today but trust Ur slave master to serve it to U HOT when she returns.

ReplyDeleteHi uniki daniel just click on my name,I don't kno why stella is refusing to post my comments.no vex if I offend you sdk.*smiles*
DeleteHmmm
ReplyDeleteAunty Stella y not bring them home for this Christmas season make u just use the opportunity flog them well well.
ReplyDeleteU can just imagine ! Innocent kids been abused by even their mother, y not put dem up for adoption evil woman.
ReplyDeleteThere is discipline and there is child abuse
ReplyDeleteSome parents don't discipline but abuse children. Beating them its okay. But doing it to the extreme,putting pepper in their eyes,scratching and biting them is all child abuse. Looking them in a dark room without food for long is abuse. Beating them till they have bruises all over and broken bones is abuse. Malnutrition is abuse.
A fractured jaw is not discipline but abuse. The woman needs to be jailed. We grew up in the U.S and were still disciplined the Nigerian way sometimes but not in an abusive way. If you did something that required flogging, my mom will tell you that she is going to flog you and that you can go ahead and report her afterwards but you better be ready to live in a foster home afterwards...LMAO...we all know the type of abuse some of these kids in foster homes go through. We are all grown now and we sometimes joke about that period of our life.
ReplyDeleteLol@you better be ready to live in a foster home afterwards..All hail Nigerian mothers...lolz
DeleteANGELRAY SAID
ReplyDeleteNa wao how can a mother be this wicked to her own child, hian
Olosho
DeleteNo wonder some parents bring their children to Nigeria after giving birth,some children are stubborn he might deliberately don't want to eat
ReplyDeleteO chi m ooooooo some people are looking for while other are maltreating. May God forgive all of us.
ReplyDeleteHer own child? Some beings are not fit to be mothers abeg.
ReplyDeletePardon me, Stella.
ReplyDeleteWhat's discipline got to do with malnutrition and neglect ?
She left her boys hungry and uncared for.
Spanking a child is good but it shouldn't be done in excess, one needs to know when to draw the line.
I read somewhere that over flogging a ward/child actually reduces such child's IQ.
While growing up, I was spanked once or twice but it was the endless talk (sitting me down and admonishing me) by mom that worked more (or so I thought).
Because, I recollect after such talks with my mother, I would really hate myself for being naughty. (My mama sabi insult you so tey, outsiders go think say she beat you, when they see you weeping profusely).
Though, some people say such talks battered their self esteem, but for me I think it did me more good than harm.
A little spanking, here and then hurts no one,
So, it's your pick.
No wonder U turned out raw!!
DeleteStill on self hate???
Y do U loathe Urself so much???
I wonder y I trade words with lunatics and clinically insane idiots?????
Who in fucks name bears mrs bitchbiko?????go back to ur mama and beg for forgiveness U bloody skank.
Choi.
Deletedaris god o
How do two mutually exclusive events become items of comparism?malnutrition has nothing to do with discipline,grounding a child and taking away some benefits comes closer to discipline but not starving someone!
ReplyDeleteBut then,there are two sides of the story,who knows if the mum herself is just poor and can't afford to feed them?
Won't be too quick to judge her,cos police for that side too dey poke nose jare#mtceew
Thank God am in naija and having my way with the nigerian way of discipline!any child that does anyhow,will see koboko' anyhow.
Not to be a racist, but I think every white person has a tendency to snap. I for one think it because they were not flogged as kids.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone does have a boiling point though
DeleteOnly the white re more prone cos of their society and upbringin
A typical white person cant stand presure
They re easily stressed
But Black or white
We all do snap
This is not discipline,is a clear case of child abuse,is unfortunate that the woman is sick upstairs,i mean how can you starve your own child hmmmm
ReplyDeletelmao @ I will do time o
ReplyDeleteAbeg leave dem o anty
Huh! Is not easy bringing up children at all
ReplyDeleteAnd can be frustrating expecially wen u don't have helper
Kids can drive one crazy though expecially boys and two @ a time
But exccesive discipline too apart from being child abuse damage kids pshycological
Na God go help us ooh
Parenting!!!!! Unless with God
I beat well but won't starve the child
Obodo oyinbo na different tory
As stella talk am " do time"
U re on ur own ooh so cul be frustrating
Sad as it is for those boys to have gone thru dis from their mother
I pity her
Na this one deh reign now
ReplyDeleteHahaha. No try am stellastica
ReplyDeleteezenwanyi you are derailing this post with that comment that i sent to my stew pot.why dont you go to yesterdays in house news to comment there?or better still wait for todays house news and carry your comments there.......

DeleteOloriburuku!
If there is anything that eats me deep,is child abuse of any kind, some get head but no get cap,some get cap but no get head, I say it again this life is unfair, I see so many young women that come to us for treatment looking for kids and some get this kids and do them anyhow! This God is too merciful, some women's womb should be shut by God, and the painful thing is kids that end with these kind of treatment end up becoming a bully,mean and heartless.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbour has a cane in her car and one in the house for her two boys.
ReplyDeleteGod knows I will spank my kids when they misbehave and will pet them afterwards.
I believe there is something wrong with the whites.Most of them are not mentally ok.
People should stop fighting on blogs please.Life is too short to be looking for trouble.
If u are living in Abuja please be careful.they are shooting seriously in Garki atm..This city is becoming scary.Make I do relocate abeg
Some women have no business been mothers.
ReplyDeleteWhat I do is give my kids time outs or they miss out on treats. I personally think the best way to is to talk with your child/children.
