Gomez-Romero told investigators that the beatings had gone on for months, the sheriff's report stated.

And I'm sorry Dubya, but these people - and I use that term loosely - can stay SOUTH of the Rio Grande with their 'family values'.

(killings and beatings aside, I'm suuuuuuuuure he was a ... "hard worker") /s

Which “diverse” group does this person represent? I assume you mean “dirtbags”.

I don’t believe it is in the “Hispanic” culture, either in the US legally or illegally to murder children.

and here it sounds like they may charge the mother.

Just more of that Machisimo Calderone spoke about.

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/11/26/america/LA-GEN-Mexico-Machismo.php

[snip]MEXICO CITY: President Felipe Calderon said Monday said that despite the passage of anti-discrimination laws, millions of women suffer from workplace bias and physical and psychological abuse due to an enduring “culture of machismo” in Mexico.

“As a citizen, as a husband, as a father, as president, I am worried and indignant over the mistreatment millions of Mexican women still receive,” Calderon said during an event on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

Last year alone, the president said, more than 30 million Mexican women suffered some type of violence, while more than 80 percent of women who were murdered were killed in their own homes.

At fault? A culture still dominated by “the false premise of subordination, submission and even inferiority of women with respect to men,” he said. “This is a cultural obstacle that we have to reverse.”

“Another ‘slippery slope’ consequence of the devaluation of human life.”

Couldn’t agree more. Just think of the recent headlines: Man Beats Daughter to Death Because He Wanted Son, Man Tosses Four Children Off Bridge After Fight with Common-law Wife, Man Shoots Teenaged Daughters for Dating Against His Will, Woman Drowns Her Five Children, Woman Drowns Son if Reservoir Then Claims Assailant Kidnapped Them, Wife Shoots Husband for Sneaking Look at Christmas Present, Father and Brother Beat Woman to Death for Marrying Outside Faith, ad infinitum ad nauseum. Truly this is a time when the love of man is waxing cold. Family members seems to be just accessories du jour to be disposed of when they become inconvenient, embarrassing or out of style.

Well, the mom - Juana Rodriguez-Perez, saw the abuse and did nothing.

Not in this story -

The little girl died Christmas morning.
The little girl has a name - Ariana Rodriguez Romero .

The injuries were horrific —
An autopsy done the next day showed the baby had five new left rib fractures, eight old left rib fractures - some of the old fractures were in two places - and seven old right rib fractures.

She also had a bruised liver, a hematoma and laceration on her spleen, a hemorrhage in her left eye, a bruise on her shoulder blade, a hemorrhage to a back muscle and bruising on each side of her mouth.

If your breakfast is still in place

This pair of loozer still has a 2 year old at home with them.

Even more telling

I did a web search of Fl newspapers and TV outlets that identify themselves as serving the Spanish speaking community. I used “Marcos Gomez-Romero” as a search term and came up with
Nada
Zip
Zero.

Not a single news source would identify a country of origin of these pieces of human refuse. They must be Native to FLA, 'eh?

You’re right. It’s not part of Hispanic culture. But is is not uncommon to kill little children in the sub human, hip hop, gang bangin’, knuckle draggin’ urban culture to which more than a few Hispanics gravitate.It's usually the kid of a girl friend but sometimes not.

I don’t see where that is an issue. Legal or illegal this crime is beyond cruelty. The only difference is if he is illegal he could be deported. Though I normally would be for that. It must be remembered that Mexico and most Central and South American countries do not have the death penalty. I don’t know what penalty he would face in his country of birth. But if it is less than having his gonads chewed on by rabid weasels he is getting off lightly.

If the DA goes for the death penalty keep the bastard here and fry his ass ASAP. Otherwise deport him to the middle of the Atlantic ocean sans life boat.

I’m not sure its that different in the United States.

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/gender.htm

Looks like even here women are most often murdered by a close acquaintance, probably many at their own home too.

I imagine the “violence” incidents are much more skewed than the murder rates.

victim/offender 100.0 %
relationship female homicide victims


Intimate 30.0 %
(spouse, ex-spouse,
boyfriend
Other family 11.8 %
(parent, child,
sibling)
Acquaintance/known 21.8 %
Stranger 8.7 %
Undetermined 27.6

Probably many undermined are actually an acquaintance too.

Source: FBI, Supplementary Homicide Reports, 1976-2005.
See also Additional Information about the Data.

Note: The victims of the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks are not included in this analysis.
