FULL TITLE: ‘Pure evil’ Ohio stepmom charged with murder after sticking 4-year-old in bath of scalding water as punishment
A “pure evil” Ohio stepmom killed her 4-year-old stepson by sticking him in a bath of scalding water as a horrific punishment, officials said.
Anna Ritchie was indicted Monday for the March death of little Austin Cooper.
Prosecutors said the 25-year-old — who now faces murder, involuntary manslaughter, felonious assault and endangering children charges — resented being the tot’s stepmother and used the 130-degree soaking as a sick form of punishment.
“Anna Ritchie is pure evil,” Austin’s grandma Sheri Gredig said, adding that the heartless stepmom deserves a life prison sentence.
Ritchie drew a bath of boiling water last month and held the boy down in it for at least 20 minutes, prosecutors said. When she finally let him out, the crying child was bleeding and blistered skin was coming off of his legs — but the cruel caregiver sent him to bed without any treatment from a medical professional.

The father needs to be locked up to or sterilized. He’s too weak minded to rescue his own son, instead obeying a crazy woman, bent on torturing a child, his child. RIP little one.
If there is reincarnation, I hope your next life treats you far better.
You know that just gets me. He heard his son crying and did not go check on him? Did not see what was wrong?
Come on FReepers you know your kid. You can tell when they are screaming in temper tantrum and screaming in pain and agony. There is a difference. Why this dad could not hear screams of pain and go in I is so beyond me.
As Tommy Sotomayor says he’s a SIMP.
Too much tragedy in Ohio.
There is this evil woman and then the seven people that were killed today.
Shoot it (the stepmom).
Shoot it now, and repeatedly until it is an unrecognizable pile of protoplasm slowly seeping back into the dirt from which it arose.
I know, I will probably get this post pulled because of what I just stated, but I can not as a parent fathom doing this to a child under any circumstances.
That horrible female should be deported to the muslimist countries closest to her, where her particular evil mindset will find many comparable minions to mingle with.
All I can presume is that this ‘man’ was high on dope or kept coma-drunk and submissive by his wife. His presence of mind was severely compromised. The other possibility is almost worse, that he was so intimidated and dominated by this woman at the height of her craziness, he decided not to challenge her. I don’t know if a court can forbid you from having children, but both people deserve it here.
Ahrmmm... I understand and agree with the first pic, but fail to grasp the significance or meaning of the second...
A stone cap for a vampire’s gravesite, perhaps? (a la ‘Underworld’?)
Not seven, but eight dead in Ohio. Surpassing Neil Young’s lyric.
In olden times she would have been dragged from her home and racked
Then eviscerated slowly
Or the Norse Take The Walk torture death though that was reserved for heroic warriors
Remains to be gibbeted with a sign nailed to her corpse
“Child Boiler”
Wisdom in that
It’s a millstone.
“Better that a millstone be tied around your neck and you be tossed into the sea than to harm one of these (a child)”
Paraphrased....
And of children who died at the hands of one parent between 2001 and 2006, 70.8% were killed by their mothers, whereas only 29.2% were killed by their fathers.
Furthermore, contrary to media portrayals that leave the viewer with the impression that only girls are ever harmed, boys constituted fully 60% of child fatalities. (Table 4-3, p. 71, Child Maltreatment 2006, http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/pubs/cm06/cm06.pdf, reports that 675 boys died in 2006 as compared to 454 girls).
That is stats on parents, what about step parents/mommydaddy’s new fling?
It’s a millstone. He should be ground into flour.
Thank you. :)
My thanks for the info. :)
I’m not sure but I know non blood related are far more likely to kill offspring than blood related
Which is no surprise
Incomprehensible evil.
I really wish I had not read this. That poor little child continued to cry through the night and she ignored him. Can you imagine his pain? God, where are you? Even the innocent little ones are not spared the worse on this earth. I’m a non confrontational person who is squeamish of violence but let me tell you I would absolutely relish having 10 minutes in a room with this creature.
Mothers can claim postpartum depression in court cases where they murder their children.
Not Guilty By Reason of Ovaries.
If society admitted that women can be killers, we would have to think long and hard about what abortion is - and they will not do that.
