PORT RICHEY ? Chekayla Ariel Dampier is a young, new mother and, on Monday afternoon, her 7-week-old son wouldn't stop crying. The 18-year-old was frustrated, a Pasco sheriff's report states, so she punished the infant by holding his head under running hot water until his skin started "coming off and other parts of his skin were 'bubbling.' "

The baby, Emilio Jesus Bautista, sustained severe burns to his head, chest and arms, as well as second-degree burns to his eyes and ears, the Sheriff's Office said. A report states the abuse happened at 1 p.m.; Dampier brought him to Morton Plant North Bay Hospital in New Port Richey at 10 p.m. The baby was then flown to Tampa General Hospital, where, according to authorities, "the infant's burns on his chest caused his left nipple to pull off when his shirt was removed."

He remained at Tampa General on Wednesday in critical condition.

People like this should be punished the same way they committed their crime. Scum of the Earth & a total waste of skin :angry:

Seen far too many of these - kids scalded in a turkey roaster, microwaved, baked alive, thrown on a BBQ, blow torched, you name it. Makes one wish selective memory erasure was a real tech as those are mental images I'd rather forget :(

Actually physically sickened at the thought of that. Unbelievable! Its not just a case of a teenage mind not being able to cope, its mentally sick that she would do that to her child. She needs jail and some serious help for whatever mental illness she must suffer from cause no sane mother would that, no matter what.

To think once the child grows up and learns why it is hes disfigured, honestly sickening.

write this one up as dead if i had a couple million dollars and a couple good men not afraid of doing what's right.

I dont think you'd need a couple million if we had an actual "justice system"

she'll get like what, 2 years? some kid who had some ecstasy gets 10+ years...

Felony child abuse gets you 15 years in Michigan, but it's possible to co-charge her with attempted murder which is a Class A felony with a max sentence of life.

OTOH; ecstasy is a Schedule 1 drug so it's serious. 50- 450 grams gets you up to 20 years, but up to 50 grams gets you just 4 years.

    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
    • It's listed #399.99 on Amazon, per your link. It's not $299.99.
