Child Abuse Charges For Muslim Mother Who Burned Daughter After She Resisted Arranged Marriage
NBC Miami News Article; Child Abuse Charges for Hollywood Mother Who Burned Teen Daughter Over Arranged Marriage -

A South Florida mother who used a knife to burn her teen daughter after the girl resisted her parents’ wishes to marry her cousin in an arranged marriage is facing child abuse charges, Hollywood Police said Tuesday.

Sahar Thabit, 35, was arrested Friday and is facing three counts of child abuse on her 17-year-old daughter, according to a Hollywood Police arrest affidavit.

According to the affidavit, the abuse began in early January when Thabit used a stove to heat up the metal on the knife and burn her daughter’s arm three times, twice on her left forearm and once on her upper right arm.

“I swear to God I didn’t see anything,” the victim’s grandfather, Ali Alomari, told NBC 6 outside the family’s home Tuesday.

The burns caused permanent disfigurement, the report noted.

A friend of the girl reported the abuse to a school administrator, who later called police, the affidavit said.

According to the friend, the teen said her parents became upset because she didn’t want to marry her cousin, but wanted to marry a boy in Yemen she had met on the Internet, the affidavit said.

The daughter later told police that she had been talking to the boy in Yemen through the Internet, even though it’s not allowed in the family’s religion.

The girl’s friend also said the parents verbally and mentally abused their daughter calling her a whore and slut, the affidavit said. The friend also said the girl had attempted suicide over the incident, the affidavit said.

When the victim’s father was questioned by detectives, he claimed she had been burned by a stove until it was pointed out that the burns were in three different areas, the affidavit said. The father then asked for an attorney, the affidavit said.

The girl’s grandfather gave the same explanation Tuesday, saying, “She burned herself in the stove.”

After interviewing witnesses and the victim, police determined Thabit had placed the knife on her daughter’s arms, the affidavit said.

Detectives weren’t able to interview Thabit because she only speaks Arabic, the affidavit said. She was arrested and later released on bond, and it’s unknown whether she has an attorney.

The girl’s father told NBC 6 over the phone that the family is going through difficult times with the allegations and said he had no comment.

Lenore Walker, a psychology professor at Nova Southeastern University, said the alleged abuse in the case is similar to an honor killing.

”The rationale is that you’re shaming your family by getting involved with a boy or a man who is unacceptable for whatever reason. In this particular case, it’s because she was promised to another man and so she talked on the Internet, not even face to face,” Walker said.

Oklahoma Mother Tries To Sell Her Two Young Children On Facebook So She Could Bail Out Her Boyfriend
Misty VanHorn, is a 22-year-old deadbeat mother from Sallisaw, Oklahoma. She is accused of trying to sell two of her children for $5,000 so she could waddle her way down to prison and bail her criminal boyfriend out of jail.

Apparently, the mother’s two-year-old was only worth $1,000 while her four-year-old was worth a staggering $4,000. Maybe it was a buy one get one 75% off sale?

The mother-of-two contacted a woman in Fort Smith via Facebook and talked about selling the kids. The woman, who has not been named, contacted the Oklahoma Department of Human Services when she realized that VanHorn was not pulling her leg. The ODHS then notified Sallisaw Police who conducted their own investigation.

Neighbours of VanHorn said she had been begging for money to bail out her boyfriend, who was arrested for unknown reasons.

‘She was going door to door, here to all the way across town asking everybody for money to get him out,’ said Tony Mosby, a neighbor of VanHorn.

Authorities confirmed that the state took custody of the children.

VanHorn is being held on $40,000 bond. That’s 7 times more than what she thought both of her children were worth.

Mother who called herself a ”monster” in court is sentenced to 99 years for beating her daughter into coma and gluing the tot’s hands to the wall.


Elizabeth Escalona (left) was sentenced to 99 years for the brutal beating of her toddler daughter (right.)

10/12/12 Dallas, TX →After 5-days of gruelling testimony, Texas mother, Elizabeth Escalona, 23, sat tearfully in court today as she was sentenced by Judge Larry Mitchell to serve 99 years in prison for the savage torture-beating of her two-year old child.

”You savagely beat your daughter to the edge of death,” said the Judge.

In 2011, Elizabeth became so frustrated with her daughter (who isn’t being named due to legal reasons) during potty-training that she glued the child’s hands to the wall and brutally beat her.

Two of Escalona’s other children revealed in court today that their mother kicked their little sister in her stomach and hit her with a milk-jug before gluing her hands to a wall. She also dragged her (although uncertain if she was dragged by the hair.) Some skin had been torn off her little hands. She was hospitalized and in a coma.

Prosecutor Eren Price showed Escalona photo’s of her child’s injuries and asked her if she was a monster. ”A monster did this.” Escalona shook her head and replied a tearful ”Yes.”



Photo’s showed bruises and marks all around the childs little body were also shown in court.



She hit her with large items including a jug and dragged her across the floor.



Photo’s of the toddlers bloody hands after they were glued to a wall were shown in court by prosecutors.

LIAR: words shown on an overhead display were written by prosecutor Eren Price, (left) and were shown in the Dallas County Courtroom as Escalona responded to multiple questions in Yesterdays court-proceedings.

Escalona pleaded with Judge Mitchell for leniency, blaming her ‘black-out’ on childhood sexual-abuse and saying she did not remember the incident that unfolded last year. She said she didn’t remember where she got the glue or why she glued her toddler’s hands to the wall nor did she remember dragging her daughter, throwing things at her or kicking her in the stomach. Overall, she claimed she didn’t remember beating the poor girl into a coma because she wouldn’t potty-train correctly/quickly. Escalona continued to put on the ”water-works” but Price wasn’t buying it and showed her no mercy calling her a ”liar.”

Cross-examination by the prosecutors pointed out that Escalona was a consistently abusive mother who did drugs and beat her children. Proving she lied once again. They also showed she lied when Price was calling her a monter, Escalona was agreeing, calling herself a monter, contradicting her earlier statements of not ”remembering.” ”I hit her, I kicked her constantly, and she didn’t deserve that,’ said Escalona. ”Only a monster does that.”

Judge Mitchell, while agreeing that Escalona may have been sexually abused growing up, that it is no excuse for abuse and Judge Mitchell said the simple fact remained, the vicious assault on your child.

‘You savagely beat your child to the edge of death,’ he said.

Escalona was sentenced to ninety years in prison and must serve at-least thirty to consider parole. Her loved ones cried out, some hanging their heads down in grief and disbelief. The mother of three surprisingly, showed very little emotion considering her theatrics threw-out the trail.

Her children are now in custody of the state and will hopefully get past the trauma they endured and grow up to be everything Elizabeth Escalona is NOT.
