The details of the physical abuse are bad enough, but a different type of detail is particularly heinous: Police say that when a 4-year-old girl was rescued from an abusive home in Arkansas, she thought her name was "idiot" because she'd been called it so often, reports the Sentinel-Record of Hot Springs. Before she was taken into state custody, the girl had lived with her mother and her mother's live-in boyfriend, and authorities say she was regularly zip-tied to furniture for offenses such as climbing on cabinets. Her mother told police that the boyfriend also hit the girl with a plastic baseball bat, but he says it was a thick wooden paddle.

The girl had ligature marks on her wrists from the restraints, along with bruises all over her body and scars on her back. Jennifer Denen, 30, and Clarence Reed, 47, are being held on several felony counts of child abuse. Reed admitted to regularly calling the girl "idiot," but says it was a joke. Denen, meanwhile, admitted that she failed to seek medical attention for her daughter. Police tell the Washington Post that five other of Denen's children lived in the home, including an 11-month-old fathered by Reed. The 4-year-old girl and the infant are in protective custody, and the other four kids are with their biological father. "Makes me mad," a stunned neighbor tells OzarksFirst.com.

The only use I would have for child abusers is target practice. However fitting that use may be, it is illegal.:(

DBOTW winner, easily.

Well, the week isn't over yet and here is another entry for your consideration:

In what authorities describe as a "chilling" case, New York police say a 23-year-old put his mother in a headlock and drowned her in the family's pool on Long Island on Wednesday. Assistant DA Robert Biancavilla says 63-year-old Elizabeth Cullen initially argued with her son, Denis Cullen, in the shallow end of the pool over whether Denis had taken his psychiatric medication. But when she poked him, per the AP, Denis dragged her into the deep end, "waited until she stopped moving, and then carried the body out of the pool," Biancavilla tells CBS New York.

Biancavilla says Denis tried to hide the body before stealing his mom's car, cash, and credit card. He then traveled to his sister's house where he reportedly confessed. Police were called to the scene and found Elizabeth Cullen dead in the backyard. Biancavilla adds that Denis—previously diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, per WABC—later confessed. "He said she struggled violently and he was surprised a wompan of her stature could struggle as much as she did," says Biancavilla, calling the description "chilling." Denis, who is the nephew of former US Army Chief of Staff George Casey, is charged with second-degree murder.

Dear MI2AZ:

How about deferring the vote on this "candidate" until next week?
