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.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models

      UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
