Two teens, who were asked to babysit two small children, have been arrested after a 2-year-old boy arrived at a Minnesota hospital with a skull fracture and covered in bruises and cigarette burns.
Online arrest records confirm the arrests of Diego Ramon Calzada-Russette and Jamie Rae Wilson, both 19.
Calzada-Russette was arrested on Sept. 22 and charged with malicious punishment of a child. Wilson was detained on Sept. 25 after a warrant was issued for her arrest; she is charged with two counts of felony child torture.
Paramedics were called to a St. Paul residence on Sept. 22 on a report of an injured boy who’d fallen down a staircase.
However, at the hospital doctors noticed the bruises as well as the burns from cigarette butts.
The boy was transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit where he was diagnosed with brain bleeds, both old and new, and a fractured skull.
Wilson, who rode in the ambulance with the boy, explained to police that his mother had asked her to watch him for a few days. She told police the boy arrived with numerous injuries and markings on his body.
Police eventually learned that a 5-year-old girl had also been left with Wilson, along with the boy.
Calzada-Russette had stayed home with the girl, but the court records claim neither he nor Wilson mentioned the girl to police.
The girl was also taken to the hospital for evaluation and allegedly had injuries on nearly every part of her body.
Police also allege the girl’s entire body was badly bruised and had been burned by cigarettes in places.
Doctors also clarified the girl suffered damage to some of her internal organs. One of the doctors said, “This is the worst case of abuse I’ve personally seen in over 20 years.”
Both defendants denied involvement in the abuse. It is unclear if the teens are related to the children or how long the children were in their care.
It was unclear Tuesday if Wilson and Calzada-Russette had entered pleas.
You just can’t fix stupid.
This is exactly why you don’t leave your children with anyone and if absolutely need to then a hidden camera is a must have People who abuse children need their hands cut off, period! The most vulnerable of society. It is sickening, disgusting and beyond incomprehensible. My only hope is they get their ass beat in prison every single day.
PURE EVIL!
God have mercy on us 🙏
We’re is the mother , father ? That’s what I want to know
did you see that part where they were babysitting?
God have mercy on those two little children. We will never know what they went through, but can pray that God’s judgement will be swift.
This is a result of social programs ie. welfare. They only keep the children to continue with food stamps, HUD, WIIK, earned income credit, medical cards, cable bills, etc. The list social programs to cheat is endless. The children are a pawn to social programs. Way to go Democrats. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
So true!
IF….. these babies parents didn’t do this before they dropped them off, ???
Eye for an eye. They both need to be strapped down, facing each other and beat, whipped and burnt just like those 2 defenseless babies. Then put them out on the court house lawn. Repeat daily.
JMO
Amen!
Where in the unholy hell were the childrens parents? Why didn’t they see the abuse and call police immediately? What the heck is going on here? The teens definitely need to go to prison but so do the uncaring parents
Agreed!!
Two possible punishment for them, impaled or hung them high .
Over a nice roaring fire…on a rotisserie would suit me. Good job Fidel!
Calling them teens is a bit misleading . at 19 they are both adults . And should be charged as such . And if the did this their time in jail should be at least a decade or two . There is no excuse for this . and with internal damage i would call it attempted murder
I personally would call it kidnapping, gross molestation, they / he kept the girl and tried to kill the boy? Hmmm… skull fracture- attempted murder, obviously— breaking his skull and/or them pushing him down the stairs to finish him off and have an excuse (he fell down the stairs) she needs to be burned at the stake nice and toasty all day long for at least 10 hours then cooled off to die in morbid pain, and the man she tried to impress by going along with him and happily suggesting and initiating child torture to entertain herself and her boyfriend- he should have his limbs impaled/ detached his kidneys and organs impaled or removed and burned and branded repeatedly as a sadist… don’t know what half that meant but I’m sure it fits.
