kyburgAlbuquerque police said Tiffany Toribio, 23, confessed to suffocating her 3-year-old son, Tyruss "Ty" Toribio, as he slept on the climbing gym - a crime so cold-blooded that neighbors struggled to comprehend it, and even veteran officers became choked up.
...
Toribio was homeless and sleeping in the park, having been kicked out of her mother's home and a friend's apartment in the days before her son's death because she was ignoring the boy and withholding affection, investigators said.
"What makes this story especially sad was when asked the reason why she took Ty's life, Tiffany said that she did not want him to grow up with no one caring about him the same way that she had grown up with no one caring about her," said Police Chief Ray Schultz, his eyes watery and his voice thick with emotion.
Again, I say. Yay for being an adult in your majority and untouchable until you actually Do Something Bad.
(Do you REALLY think I'd toss someone OUT if I was concerned about their attitude towards their child?!)
The amount of glurge in this is almost infuriating in the bargain. Coulda, should, woulda. The upend of this is that the kid was at risk, both he and his mother were dumped on their heads and only now is the kid special, sweet, mild...and valued.
And at the first opportunity, his mother will kill herself - count on it. Or the courts will for it for her.
Wish you'd been at the park. Bah. Two places, two opportunities to call the cops. Nobody did. BAH TWICE.
(And where the bleep was his father? Don't bother.)
