Angelo Vidal Mendoza Sr.
A big part of my job as editor of this website involves reading online newspaper articles, and between researching the stories I write myself, fact checking the ones that our writers submit and checking out the 10 or 12 articles that are sent in by readers as suggestions each week, I read about alot of twisted, sick individuals and the unthinkable crimes they commit.
You’d think, after all this time, I could comfortably say I’d seen it all, and to be honest, there have been days when I have finished an article and felt that man just couldn’t commit a more cruel, evil act. Richard Anthony McTear Jr., the clown who threw a three month old baby out of a speeding car is a perfect example.
Then Baddie76, one of our regular contributors, emailed me a link to a story that literally left me speechless. I’m serious, I could not speak for several minutes for fear I would break down or lose my famous temper. If any of you doubt the existence of evil in the world, I’m pretty confident you won’t by the end of this story.
Angelo Vidal Mendoza, age 35, of Bakersfield, California, is a very bad man. When I looked up his criminal record, he had no less then twenty-one arrests dating back to 1997, for everything from drug possession and being under the influence of drugs to aggravated assault and child abuse. Apparently, Angelo has a taste for PCP, also known as Angel Dust.
On the afternoon of April 28th, 2009, Angelo was at home with his son, Angelo Mendoza Jr., 4, who he has custody of. Earlier that day, Mendoza, who is confined to a wheelchair, had asked his neighbor Elizabeth Rodriguez, 36, for a ride to a work-related appointment later in the day. At 6 p.m., she sent her 12-year-old son to get Mendoza. The boy said Mendoza opened his door slightly and looked nervous, but didn’t let him in. Mendoza said he would be right out.
But a few minutes later, Rodriguez saw Mendoza rolling his wheelchair quickly away. The 12-year-old boy and another neighbor, Ramon Rodriguez, went to Mendoza’s apartment and discovered little Angelo on the floor naked and bleeding. He had numerous bites to his hands and his eyes were swollen shut. They immediately dialed 911.
Meanwhile, Angelo Mendoza Sr. rolled himself into the backyard. Ramon Rodriguez described what happened next for KERO Channel 23:
Rodriguez said the boy’s father wheeled himself into the front yard and asked Rodriguez to play with him and a pet dog. He was wearing boxers and a sweater. When Rodriguez refused, Mendoza got off his wheelchair and dragged himself into a back yard, where he found an ax.
By then Mendoza, who police determined was under the influence of PCP, had stripped naked. He chained himself to a tree in the back yard and began hacking at his leg with a pickax while yelling incoherently.
“He told me to look into the sun and pray with him. I was kinda scared for a minute,” said Rodriguez, “The guy was crazy. Real bug-eyed; he had to be on drugs,”
Then Rodriguez jumped on Mendoza and wrestled the ax away.
“As soon as I grabbed the ax he tried to bite me, and I had to hold him down with my knee. There was dry blood around his mouth. I don’t know if it was his own, but I’m pretty sure it was his son’s now that I hear the story,” said Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said had he known about little Angelo, the outcome would have been different.
“I would’ve just let him cut his leg off. What happened to his son is not right. I would’ve left him alone,” said Rodriguez.
The reason Ramon Rodriguez would have let Mendoza cut his legs off is so unbelievable, so horrible, that I’m still having a hard time wrapping my mind around it.
When little Angelo arrived at the hospital, Doctors were aghast at what they found; the boy’s left eye and muscle were completely missing. His other eye was mutilated beyond repair. The boy told them, “My daddy ate my eyes out.”
I researched this story, read that quote a couple of dozen times, and it still hurts me to write it now. My God, how terrifying it must have been for that poor little child. It breaks your heart to think of it.
And here’s the kicker folks. The boy’s mother, Desirae Bermudez, was partially a witness to the incident. She said Friday that she was delivering pizza to the apartment when she heard her son screaming for help and decided to leave.
“My son was just crying, ‘Mommy, mommy, I want to go with you. I’m scared,’” said the boy’s mother, “(I’m) just like ‘Should I take him or leave him?’”
Desirae said she left, thinking the boy was safe with his father.
Good call there Dez. Could you be anymore stupid?
Angelo Vidal Mendoza Sr. was arrested on charges of torture, aggravated mayhem, and cruelty to a child. The toddler is now in the custody of Child Protective Services. Mendoza is due in court May 20. His bail is set at $1 million. Doctors say there is no chance of Angelo Jr. regaining his sight.

OMFG!!!! Just the short article I read was horrifying but the extra details you found are beyond comprehension, Max!!!!
WHY WHY WHY do they let men like this creature be free when they have a long criminal history and how the F#*@ did he have custody of the child??
I can’t believe that thing that birthed that beautiful child left him there while he was screaming in fear. I would go to hell and fight all the minions and devils to see what was wrong if my four year old daughter was screaming she was afraid and for me to take her with me.
Thanks for writing it up, Max. I think people should be aware of the evil in the world. I also think this story highlights that we each have an obligation to help children and that we, as individuals, might be the only chance a child has.
I am going to go cry now. . .
I am actually crying now…..as soon as I read the words “my daddy ate my eyes out” …waterfalls…..I am sickened by this POS.
I can’t believe it…that’s about the worst thing I have ever read. It would have been better if the child had died…not because he’s blind, but because he remembers why he’s blind :( What a sick freak…drugs are not any excuse to do something like that
yeah thanks mom…for not helping your child…that was real smart….who cares if he had full custody…..are they gonna charge her for anything? Being stupid maybe?
Now we know why he had custody in the first place.
Max, you are right. This is just terrrible… Both parents failed this child. I think the mother is just as responsible for her sons newly found fate. If the father had that kind of record and he got custody imagine what the mother must have in her past. Typical, she heard him screaming, and now the feels bad. Always after the fact. Sad thing; the mother will most likely sue CPS and get rich for being a terrible mother.
What concerns me is if such a parent (Angel Dust and criminal record anyone?) can get CUSTODY of their child, WTF is in the mom’s background? If I was a praying person, I’d get down on my knees right now and ask that that poor child does NOT end up with the sperm depository that birthed him! It’s bad enough that his dad ate his eyes…. that is just incomprehensible to me…. but to add whatever crap mom is likely to spew out? PLEASE tell me the law has more common sense where he is from and will place him with a family that cares! >=|
Medical advances come every day. Some DAY he may be able to see the world around him again. But the mental and emotional damage is up for him to repair. I just hope that life gives him that chance.
We execute rabid dogs. I say we do the same with “dad”. Quickly.
I wish I could say the law has common sense, but if I read his rap sheet right for all the shit he did, he was given small stupid amounts of time. if he had stayed the amount of time he should have on the last charges with no good time this beautiful child would have his eyes. I can not even imagen this it is the sickest thing I have ever heard…this is such a tragic thing to happen to this child, they could have given him to foster care but no they give him to this piece of shit drug addicted gangbangin theif that keeps getting busted for carring a firearm. what the fuck is wrong with the courts? dismissed in the furtherance of justice??? the judges need to be held accountable for what happened to the little boy. it is a shame they took the pick from him he might have aimed for his head sooner or later.
I hope and pray that beautiful little Angelo has been placed with a loving family where he feels safe, secure and loved and that he gets adopted into that environment. That is the least that this soul deserves.
The mom should be tried right alongside the dad. Your son is scared you bitch and you ask yourself if you should stay or go, then you decide to leave him? She knew her ex was a drug addict but she felt her son was safe with him, despite his record?
I just wanna hug this little precious boy.
what the FUCK i just saw the video and the CPS guy, in response to why a 4 year old child would be placed in the custody of a father with such an extensive criminal history INCLUDING CRUELTY TO A CHILD said that it would depend on how long ago those offenses were…. did i hear that correctly????!!! are they trying to increase abuse????
California CPS is wtfphail, and it looks like they are in full CYA mode. Did you see that guy blink and swallow when she mentioned the offenses vs a child? It’s funny that we can even be surprised anymore.
Yeah, that’s just unbelievable – The records they were looking at were the same ones I saw & made available with the link at the end of the story (to view Mendoza’s criminal history).
One of the other things that killed me was how many time this asshole had his charges dismissed “in the furtherance of justice” . I think if they had been a little more diligent about prosecuting those charges, many of which were violent felonies, he would at the least never had custody of Angelo Jr. and more likely would have been ended up in prison for a long time.
I just read this article and was going to submit, but apparently you guys are right on top of this. This story literally turned my stomach. Drugs are bad, mmmkay?
Did the father have sole custody? Did the mother live with them? Did dad order a pizza because he knew two eyes were just an appetizer? Or did Mom just happen to show up with a pizza?
Okay, so I watched the video and got some answers. Still doesn’t explain where the pizza fits in though.
Angelo Sr. had sole custody Rick, and the mother didn’t live there. I’m not sure why she was bringing that pizza over to his house, but I can’t understand why she didn’t at least check on the kid when he was begging to go home with her.
If the father had legal custody, wouldn’t the mother have risked arrest for kidnapping if she took the child?
I shouldn’t have to state the obvious, but: I’m not defending what the father did to the child. I’m trying to understand the mother’s reasoning. She didn’t know what had happened, or that the child was in danger: she only knew that he was upset. I’m pretty sure the police and courts wouldn’t find that sufficient justification for removing a child from a custodial parent.
True perhaps, but after sifting through all the custody shit mess for the past several years, I have found there is something called a “Wellness Check” that the police will do pretty much upon request.
Might have slowed his roll, or maybe saved an eye… =(
Either way, the mom doesn’t have custody regardless, which speaks volumes under the light of his criminal history…. disturbing so many levels..
she could have just called 9 1 1
How did this lunatic have custody? The kid’s mother is even worse?
I did a little more digging, and I found out that the reason the Mother, Desirae Bermudez, lost physical custody of little Angelo, was because of here failure to comply with the terms of her probation from her conviction in 2006 for being under the influence of PCP. She was supposed to comply with a treatment plan, and she failed to do so. I also found that the was an active arrest warrant for a probation violation.
Funny thing is she was arrested with Angelo Mendoza Sr.. He was charged and convicted of the same offence, but because he completed his treatment plan (which was VERY effective I might add), he was awarded custody of their son.
As part of his sentence, Angelo should have to tell his story to high school classes regularly for the rest of his life as part of an anti-drug education campaign. And the kids should be allowed to throw stuff at him, and hiss and spit, and even kick his balls.
I like the idea of kicking his balls. . . a LOT!!! Really hard, multiple times!
AAAGGGHHHHHH! For those of you who are sensitive to foul language, don’t read the following. Mother fucking cock sucking skank ass reason abortion is legal cunt! She had to THINK about it? You hear your child screaming for you and you have to think about it? AND decide it’s no big deal? Fucking bitch left her son. $10 bucks she was on something and afraid of getting popped for possession or being under the influence. Again, choosing drugs over your child.
As for the PCP loving sperm donor? If he is in a wheel chair, kicking him in the balls probably would not do any good. How about taking a teaspoon and popping his eye balls out? Jesus, Mary and Joseph there are no words to describe what needs to be done. The one that said he should have let him hack his leg off, should of helped him aim the ax higher. Give me the ax, I know just where to put it.
And imagine what a POS the mother must be if the wheelchair-bound, PCP-addicted batshit crazy father was the one who had custody. The court actually found HIM to be the better parent? Or did mother just dump the kid on father without getting the courts involved.
OMG!! That poor beautiful boy! I don’t think either of his parents were fit to have custody of him, after reading about their past offences, they’re obviously not fit to look after a dog. Why on earth would any mother question a situation where their child is begging you not to leave them because they’re scared? The stupid, stupid bitch!!
I’m in tears as i write this, as it’s such a horrific story and that little boy has such beautiful eyes on that pic. The ‘dad’ should be in a real life version of that scene from ‘Damien, omen 2′ where that crow pecks the womans eyes out.
jesus christ….you have got to be freakin kidding me! I thought the kid had died until I got to the end…”my daddy ate my eyes out” thats a line straight out of a horror movie….I too am speechless..I hope there is enough therapy out there to give this kid the healing he will need. and his father is obviously on drugs, I hope to hell he doesnt get off on the insanity plea….Ill come down there and be his judge and jury MYSELF…..you sick, twisted, fuck. drugs or not….I cannot believe it…. WOW…. I am gonna hold my kids extra tight tonight….
P.S. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=83560906963 It touched me too much….
I know I almost got my ass kicked last time I insinuated, people of this ethnic heritage do things more savagely…Or in a weird way, like an Ani-Mal! Come on, biting the eyes out of a child’s skull? While wheeling yourself around by wheelchair… That’s ridiculous…Geezus fu*#@n’ Christ… Remember the guy that bit the baby lips… Were they neighbors…lol..Come on, I am the most diverse person you’ll meet… I have a bleeding heart.. I’m a Hispanic, fine, I’ll tell ya… I’m one fine looking Hispanic woman, eh 1/4 Iris, 1/4 Italian, and so not afraid to call it as I see… The only other abusers that even come close to this type of infliction are the crazy devil people, they don’t count… They are not an average statistic… Long time no write.. I have missed you guys a ton… I hope the feelings were mutual…
Max please email me, I lost your add… I really want to post a story.. That’s write people, I think I am ready… Please be cool about it, as I am very nervous about this sort of thing… They keep popping up, as I like the funny ones you know… Some guy drove into a a statue of General Palmer in our city… Trying to commit suicide, he survived, although in critical condition, the statue only has a knick in it’s concrete base… I always laugh driving by the blasted thing, thinking, “God! Someone is going to die, driving into this damn thing!” It’s placement in out central bar district, only makes matters worse… Anyway, seeing this story will not longer be exciting, I’ll find something to make it work… Just need to feel the love though ya’ know… How ya guys doing?
I also desperately need to hear from Turtle, I was serious about that, on my hatemail… Okay, well we’ll see. Glad to be back, momentarily perhaps, depending… Look forward to hearing from you Max…
P.S. How the heck do I post a pic icon, by my name?
Outstanding Iris, I’m looking forward to it. I still have you email address, so I’ll send you an email. but just in case:
editor@pysih.com
Both parents were jacked on PCP, they gave th kid to the dad–the boy should have been removed from both parents–before he was blinded. So sick, and yet simple to remedy from the start….what a beautiful little boy.
“Mommy mommy, i want to go with you. I’m scared.” Please, someone tell me how a mother can turn her back on that? Please explain how ANYTHING, work, play…ANYTHING could possibly be more important than saving your desperate, screaming child???
That poor little man. The fear and abandonment he must have felt as his only chance walked away to go deliver some more pizza’s.
And the father…OMG. Gimme the fucking axe. Ill do more than chop his fucking leg off.
You know, when your single and no one depends on you, sure, go out and experiment and party hard. But the SECOND you become a parent, all that HAS to stop. All that matters is that you have this precious life that depends on you for safety and love. Mmmy’s and daddies who do drugs need shooting!!
Amy has rage today.
Amy has rage every time i read another story like this….
Too bad this POS didn’t hack his femoral artery open, he would have done us all a great community service by bleeding to death….
This is one of those stories that gives you chills- It’s hard to believe that shit like this actually happens in the world. That poor boy. I can not imagine what life will be like him now… There is no punishment fitting enough for either of the motherfuckers that spawned him.
I’m sitting here bawling right now. No story on here has made me do that. That beautiful boy looks like my son. How horribly sad. I just can’t take it. Not sure if I’ll be back to PYSIH very soon. It’s making me think the world is full of evil and darkness.
I have been reading articles on PYSIH for a few months now. Sometimes I am so enraged by what I read. I can’t believe the depths supposedly intelligent beings can sink too, higher life form my ass, the majority disproves this statement too frequently!!! Sometimes I want to comment on the stories, but refrain because I know I will only get more pissed off at humans and start harboring dark thoughts of my own as I imagine exactly how these sick fucks should meet their demise! I am not a very compromising person and I do not believe in rehabbing most of these useless piles of shit. They should be dispatched and quickly so as to not cause a large bill for the honest taxpayer!
This story though………it truly breaks my heart. This boy looks exactly like my son at 4. My son is the world to me (my daughter too). I would do anything to protect him, make him happy, show him he is very much wanted and loved. I would also do anything to see that love I have showered on him reflected in his beautiful black eyes, so full of hope, curiosity, undeniable adoration and trust. Nothing makes me move faster than a cry for help from my children. Let me tell you that son of a bitch Angelo Mendoza Sr. is lucky I wasn’t there that day…I would have murdered the hell out of him for what he did to that baby!!!!
I wish I could be this little boy’s mom. He is going to need so much extra love every day. Some one who will be there every minute to hold his hand, reassure him….If I had it my way I would adopt him and take him away from everything he has known up until now. Show him a new life filled with love, guidance, beautiful experiences that will help him see his world even without his beautiful eyes…..just to hug him for as long as he wants and put sweet little kisses on the top of his head.
I have to stop now before I get snot and tears on the pc! Damn you PYSIH for making me cry like a little sissy!
*** passes the tissue box*** i can truely empathise with everything you wrote MnMom.
I read it again..and cried again. This little guy has been in my thoughts ever since I read this. Every time I look in my son’s eyes I think about little Angelo. He asked the other day why I looked sad when I was staring at him. I told him I would tell him some day, but not to worry because he is not the one making me sad. I am usually brutally honest with my kids so they understand how screwed up humans can be, but I just can’t bring myself to tell him about this….it’s too horrible!
MnMom, I share your sentiment:
“I can’t believe the depths supposedly intelligent beings can sink to, higher life form my ass, the majority disproves this statement too frequently!!! Sometimes I want to comment on the stories, but refrain because I know I will only get more pissed off at humans…”
Have any of you read “Watchmen” or saw the movie? THIS is the “face of the city” that Rorsach was talking about. Occurrences like this make you completely understand how Dr. Manhattan lost his ability to care what happens to any of us.
Makes you almost wish the end of that story would actually happen, or something like it, something just short of the Great Flood, nuclear war, asteroid impact, etc. Maybe the world needs a powerful, insane man or aliens (in the graphic novel) to do terrible things to wake us up, before “the furthering of justice” and “political correctness” and “No Child Left Behind” type programs and a lack of spanking our children sees us all ending up in a real Hell on Earth.
This story wrenched my heart more than most I’ve read in a long time. It’s completely and utterly incomprehensible to me when I hear of people killing their own child, or any child, but I think this one is worse because the little boy did NOT die. Worse, because he knows EXACTLY who did this to him and will always remember it because, well, it’s the very last thing he ever saw, and every moment he spends in the utter darkness will remind him. Every beautiful girl he can’t see, every movie he can’t watch, every serene sunset he can’t enjoy.
I would love to donate to help turn this little guy into the bionic man, at least in the eye department. Give him vision none of us have, make him a superhero, give all blind people hope. Allow him to work with the police and do great things, and turn this terrible tragedy into a wondrous benefit to him and all of mankind. Does anyone know of any site taking up a charity for this poor little guy? (I would look at the Facebook site(s) created for little Angelo but I’m at work and can’t access those, so I apologize if someone has set up a charity already.)
There is a facebook page set up for him http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=83560906963
I am looking for other sources as well…Oh how I wish I could be his mom!
I agree Rod. oooooo and I want to see that movie! Although the earth needs a cleansing I am afraid the sheer numbers of stupid humans would ensure that there are very few intelligent ones left in the pool. Damn why can’t epic scale natural disasters target the moronic hordes?
It was kinda funny to read his arrest record. Nobody seemed to see the writing on the wall. Just one more kid – c’est la vie.
WTF!!!!! someone needs to set this bastard in a rabid wild animal refuge and let them MULL HIM!!!!!!!!!!!! SON OF A BITCH!!!!
Wow. This one is a WTF for me. It is too bad they didnt let him pick axe his leg off. I would have.
What is up with the Mother? Did she not know that he was using PCP? And that poor child. Jeez. This is one of the first stories, in a long while, that I seriously am just blown away by.
And what kind of an asshole drug dealer sells pcp to someone in a wheelchair? Not to make light of this, but WTF???!!!
I would assume that it was an equal opportunity drug dealer. Seriously. If you were a drug dealer, would you be concerned that this guy was in a wheelchair? Hell, no. It’s all about the Benjamins. Money is money. Whether it be from you, me, him, her or the guy in the wheelchair. To sell PCP is to not have a high standard of moral values.
We should let him finish committing suicide.
The mother should have been spayed, but at this point spaying shoud be maditory. The father, if not allowed to commit suicide, must be neutered – or let Buba have his balls for lunch.
Not much else I can say, there is just no words for it.
I do not know how the police officers could arrest that man – I would have put a bullet into him so quickly or I would have placed him in his wheel chair and tied it to the back of he squad car then let him go in heavy traffic…….
A guy tried crossing FDR drive in NYC back in July 1984 and the police had to SCRAPE him up, maybe this is the only way we can get justice….. Looks like the only way we’ll be able to send this guy to hell is via Big Macs for the next 10 years.
Welcome to Bakersfield. I live here. My kids fled this town as soon as they turned eighteen. I spent this weekend with my daughter in a hotel room here and two separate men tried to break into the room at night. My daughter looked at me this morning and said, “Mom, that’s why I’d rather live in L.A….this place is just like the friggin wild west or something.”
And it is.
oh my fucking god.
Well, sure they did, but it’s no excuse for what he did. What responsible parent gets dusted while he’s around his 4 year old son. I was known to dabble back in the day, and believe me, that’s not a place you want to be. Hmm, well I guess that’s pretty obvious now….
He stil had a choice, just his judgement was more clouded by the drugs.
When I was at the dentist on laughing gas I had some real stupid ideas and a chicken that needed to be chocked….. BUT I knew that I was under the influence and I knew that even if it seemed right or OK that my judgment was way off…..
So with that said – even in drugs, the fact that the kid was in pain should have made an impression.
I hope Bubba fries this guy’s balls while they are attached!
I was just getting ready to go eat breakfast. I am physically sick now. I am so freakin sick of people on drugs blaming the drugs for the things they do. If I had gotten a hold of the axe, it would have been more than just his legs being hacked off. I think I am going to go hurl.
http://www.winnipegsun.com/news/world/2009/05/19/9499011.html
congratulations, you have made the papers in manitoba canada! you sick fuck…why do YOUR sick actions get credit in MY newspaper, yet your gorgeous son has no pictures whatsoever? Thats bullshit.
I created a facebook page for this little guy. please have a look
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=83560906963
I agree that not too many stories on pysih can get to me like this one did…Im pretty callous towards the world now…But I am still reeling…I opened my town newspaper and saw this story…It made me angry all over again. I want to block it out and have a nice cup of coffee and here this scum fuck is polluting my reading. Fuck you you sick twisted fuck. I hope they eat your eyes out in jail and then feed them to your heartless piece of shit..and I hope the other inmates who DO do this to you get off scott free
Words escape me. What the fuck? Why are some people against the death penalty?
I read an article on the BBC today telling of the start up of the NSPCC. I was not aware that the NSPCA was in place years before children started having safeguards and the NSPCA pushed to get children some of the same protection as animals. Unfortunately, in this day and age we still haven’t gotten there??? I hope his screams echo through his mothers head for the rest of her fucking useless life!
I am speechless after reading this today. I just want to cry for this poor little boy. He is so beautiful. I hope there is some way he can have eyes transplanted so that he can see and live as a normal as life as possible after such a horrific ordeal. I just can’t understand how something like this can happen. These fuckers bring a child into the world to neglect and abuse him, a defenseless baby. I hope this man gets beat to a pulp in prison. His arms should be pulled out of the sockets and be beat with them until his own eyes fly out of his skull. Both mother and father need to be stoned by the public.
“I would’ve just let him cut his leg off. What happened to his son is not right. I would’ve left him alone,” said Rodriguez.
i really like this Rodriguez guy, seems like my kind of people… i wouldn’t have just let him cut his legs off, i woulda helped and made sure he finished the job…
poor kid, he will NEVER be the same again all because his dad wanted to be a crackhead. Angelos mother should be ashamed of herself too… how in the hell is a man with a habit of using dust allowed sole custody of a 4 year old? did the asshole judge who made this decision know what dust does to people? its worse than prob. anything when it comes to making the user violent.. wow… theres a whole bunch of people involved here who deserve hell..
I’m sorry the world was so mean to you Angelo. And i’m definitely sorry about what the last thing your eyes had to witness.
Amazingly, if you want to adopt a cat from a shelter, they’ll ask you all kinds of questions to see if you’re going to provide a good home. If you want to put a boat in the water, you have to go take a test to show you know how to use it. But any demented, botched animal disguised as a human being is allowed to spawn. This is the worst yet, I think, although the maniac in Austria who kept his daughter in the basement for 24 years is damned special. This animal should have his eyes torn out – after he’s been skinned alive, so he can get a good last look before lights out, and then thrown in a pit to die. There are times when eye-for-an-eye just isn’t enough.
ARRRRGH. The more one considers this story the worse it is. The father-thing has a record as long as your arm, and the mother-thing walked away from her son’s begging her to get him away from the insane father-thing, as if she didn’t know he was loaded full of PCP. Whenever someone says “everything happens for a reason” I want to club them in the head with a fat, rolled up wad of stories just like this, and ask “What was the divine reason for this, huh?” Was it to make this poor kid blind, with the last memory of a visual world the inside of his father’s mouth? Did God decide this kid needed to be punished? For what? The kid’s life has been destroyed. ‘No matter what kind of surgery, therapy, or love given by real humans, he’ll never be able to forget this. These two are going to see hell, just not soon enough.
WTF
Just when I think I can get through these stories, I come across this. I guess I’ll be back in another six months or so…
and I thought I was the only one…Just when I think it cant get worse.
I work myself up for months, thinking I can get through these articles and do OK for a bit..then BAM, one like this knocks me right on my “you have got to be fu**ing kidding me!” ass. I swore after the whole “kids beat to death with hammers” article I would never recover enough to read again…yet here I sit. I hate to say it but I wish this beautiful little guy had just died. It is inevitable he will lead a tortured existence. I am going to throw up.
Believe me guys, I know how you feel. But this is the world we live in, unfortunately.Angelo Mendoza Sr. is possibly the most evil person I’ve ever written about – what he did the Angelo Jr. certainly is one of the most evil acts I’ve ever heard of. I wasn’t kidding, or exaggerating for dramatic effect, when I said that I was left speechless after I read about it for the first time. But after I composed myself, I also knew I had to write. Write about what he did, about little Angelo, about his idiot mother who left him there even as he cried out for her to save him., because people need to know exactly how broken things are before they can fix them. This story is just a very extreme example of a kid that nobody cared about and a child welfare system than hasn’t got the common sense God gave to a pile of horse manure. Everyone let Angelo Jr. down, and way before his dad assaulted him so horribly.
I don’t know if I can keep reading this site.
Shit like this makes me wonder if having a free country is such a good idea. People have got to be controlled better than this.
At the very least, some serious eugenics are in order. The mother should be put on mandatory birth control until menopause. As for the father…
There should be a death penalty for this. The torture charge should carry the death penalty in any case, especially one involving a child. You could probably get a member of Amnesty International to pull the trigger on this freak. Maybe the other prisoners could be tipped off?
Obama supports the death penalty for child rapists – maybe his next Supreme Court pick will reflect that, and set some precedent.
It’s just like that rapper “Big Lurch” – the guy who got high on pcp and ate his girlfriend. I can’t imagine how it would feel to wake up the next day and realize what you’ve done..or worse yet have someone tell you what you’ve done. I can imagine that they are in their own personal hell right now…and nothing is worse that that (not counting physical pain).
Anything..anything at all mind altering is terrifying. I wish people could get off their ass and start fixing their problems instead of masking them with drugs…and alcohol and disgusting fetishes. I think it’s high time (pardon the pun) we all get on the AA train and give up the vices and start DEALING with life on life’s terms. AA is my key to happiness…the key to control in my life…the key to serenity.
People are so F!@#(%@^&#@(*#!@(i SELFISH it makes me SO MAD.
Oh and btw, I am always on this site (a silent lurker- usually too upset to comment) and I wanted to pass along some advice. Right after I visit here and read the articles I always make a point to go over to http://www.cuteoverload.com before I do anything else. It doesn’t take the pain away, but it certainly helps:)
I use a similar method of mental bleach with icanhascheezburger, but my caveat here is avoid going to either site immediately after reading about Timothy Kooyman.
icanhascheezburger is great man – and yeah, if you go there after reading the Timothy Kooyman story, you will try and find him and commit murder.
I haven’t stopped thinking about little Angelo since I read about him on dreamin’ demon. I keep looking at my 4 year old son and wondering how could anyone do that. It occurred to me the other day that Angelo’s hands were probably bitten while he tried in vain to cover his eyes. I’m still crying for little Angelo :(
Max: Another one of those sick, sadistic cases where CPS should be in jail right beside this sick, bastard!!!!!
Jeez: Max…blonde moment…I was thinking of Felix the cat for some reason and typed that name…lol on bended knee forgive me….
Hahaha
I’ll do better than that Lawdoll – I’ll go in and fix it for you.
I looked this sicko up following a tip off from max… I can’t put into words how this story made me feel, disturbed is the best i can manage… Poor little chap, this dont beggar belief. ;(
I actually met the guy a few months back. Along with the boy. Things seemed fairly normal. The Angelo Sr. claimed he was getting together some other wheelchair-bound people and doing a cross-country thing. He showed us his business plan and wanted donations. His relationship with the boy was a little distant, but he was and happy with the other child he was playing with, romping around normally. I got a strange vibe from the man himself. I’m a massage therapist and gave him my card anyway, since I was just starting out, but I thanked the stars when he never called–he gave me the creeps.
To know that that sweet little boy has been traumatized like this…I just found out about this today and I’m still in shock.
Update!!!:
