Fla. Couple Charged in Daughter's Death

 

OAKLAND PARK, Fla. (AP) - A couple was arrested for beating to death one of their 3-year-old twins, whom they told authorities had hurt herself.

 

Jonas Julien, 37, and Lineda Julien, 33, each face one count of first-degree murder in the death of Ediana Julien, said Broward County sheriff's spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright. The Juliens were being held Saturday without bond. It could not be determined whether they had an attorney.

 

Deputies and paramedics were sent to the family's home Friday morning after dispatchers received a 911 call about a medical emergency. The girl was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, authorities said.

 

An autopsy showed Ediana had multiple contusions and extensive internal injuries, including a lacerated liver and a broken rib, which were in various stages of healing.

 

The Juliens said their daughter had inflicted the injuries herself, Coleman-Wright said.

 

The couple's other children, Ediana's twin brother and two boys ages 6 and 8, were taken into state custody. The twin had signs he had also been beaten, officials said.

Nothing that a bit of counseling can't cure...

OAKLAND PARK, Fla. (AP) - A couple was arrested for beating to death one of their 3-year-old twins, whom they told authorities had hurt herself.

I can imagine that conversation...

 

Policeman: "Your infant daughter is nearly dead, what happened!"

Mom: "She hurt herself! She hit herself with a baseball bat!"

Dad: "Yeah, yeah, she was listening to that rap music and beat herself! Knives and everything!"

 

I'm not condoning child abuse, but even if this never happened, those two people should be killed for being so damn stupid.

Fuck them. I've seen first hand what child beaters can do to children and I'm not talking about parents who deliver a spanking for misbehaving but those who beat their own children like they would another adult. I hope they get no mercy, they deseve none.

These fuckers couldn;t even show their own children loving care and they obviously deserve to go to jail for a long long time. Anyone who takes the life of their own child deserves life in jail.
