Police: Mom Killed Boy, Buried Him in Playground Sand - New Mexico
A 23-year-old woman suffocated her son and then buried his body beneath the sand of a playground, police in Albuquerque, New Mexico, said Thursday. Police arrested Tiffany Toribio about 4 a.m., just hours after they said they wanted to speak to her about her missing 3-year-old son, Ty.
Family members had contacted authorities, saying her son matched the description of a boy found Friday at an Albuquerque playground. Police Chief Ray Schultz said she confessed to killing the boy soon after being apprehended.
"She placed her hand over her son's mouth and nose and suffocated him. She had second thoughts about what she did. She performed CPR on her son, brought him back to life and then decided to go forward with that original act she had started to commit," Schultz said.
Toribio was charged with first-degree murder and an array of other charges, including abuse of a child under 12 that caused death. (continued)

What happened to the "mary poppins" fake nanny sighting? It's been completely removed it looks like. WHat's the deal?
ReplyDeleteThis is just horrible. I feel so awful reading these news reports. What makes a person, a mother do things like this? We really do live in a sick, sick world. I of course get frustrated with my child but to ever do anything to hurt them is just...there are just no words for people like this. I hope the mother who killed her son fries for this. She is the lowest form of life, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of mother would murder her child? That child was real to her before it was real to anyone else! For those moms out there you know what I mean, those little butterfly feelings when they first start to move and then that hard kick that wakes you up at 2 am. How can you harm something that was a part of you? And how can you do that, bring him/her back to life and then go thru with it anyway? Lock this nutcase up!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think that is the sickest part of this whole sickening act. That she performed CPR and revived hom, THEN murdered him a second time. I always think, when I hear that people like this are put on a suicide watch, "why bother"? Save the taxpayers some money.
ReplyDeleteWBN and Cali mom:
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more.
All stories are very distrubing to me. The one where the mom kills her kid and buries him in sand. For her sake and ours, I hope she does not have any other children. It is also my hope that she is never allowed to be around any child ever again. That is the doing of a really sick and twisted mind.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the teacher assistant goes. Being a cert. teacher myself, this is very distrubing. I really do doubt that this is the first child this person has sexually abused. I wonder if they completed all the background checks that are needed. There is a good chance this person seeked out this job, for only the purpose to find kids to abuse. Which is also very sick and twisted.
