A thirteen month old baby was beaten, gagged and shaken by her babysitter earlier this week, leaving her in a coma. Her mother, Adelina Palacios, had been subletting a room in a Queens apartment from Delores Guzman and her husband, and Guzman had agreed to watch baby Andrea while Palacios started a new job. Guzman had originally claimed the baby fell by accident, but the doctors disputed that. Guzman, who has three young children of her own, taped a pacifer to the baby's mouth in order to keep it in, and then shook and dropped her when the baby wouldn't drink from the bottle. The Queens DA's office says that Guzman had duct taped over the baby's mouth and nose "until her eyes bulged out," only calling 911 after the baby lost consciousness. The Daily News reports that the baby's heart had stopped for 10 minutes, suggesting that she may have suffered permanent brain damage. Guzman is being held without bail on assault and child endangerment charges.

It's hard to be against the death penalty with people like her.
that's one ugly baby and now she'll be retarded on top of that...
sux for her
I love The Gothamist because they don't report about babys being beaten and all the negative trash every other news paper covers. Keep things positive and interesting or I'm going to stop dropping by.
Wow. Latinos sure don't like their kids. First Nixmary now this.
who's this "the gothamist" people keep talking about? i don't know of said website.
Crap, no one told me it's National Insensitive Day. Now I have to go find a puppy to kick.
Jett - I know you're trolling, but you're a complete asshole. Your comment isn't funny in any context.
jett- that kind of post makes you feel good? as in a drive-by? you got some deep shit going on in your head
We must educate our Latino Friends that it's not right to beat your children to a bloody pulp. Geez Louise, We've got to make a national Latino don't beat your children seminar or something.
Wow some of you guys are pretty fucked up.
And this is coming from ME.
And of course we were all awaiting the inevitable generalizations and extrapolations(it's as if it comes natural to them).
FYI Latinos/Hispanics are some of the most family centric ethnic groups in the western hemisphere.
FYI, if they aren't, it means they have been Americanized!
