Aunt pulls nephew's eyeballs out with a knife

[two dollars says she's a neo-con republican]

A Lauderhill woman was charged Saturday with attempted first-degree
murder, accused of partially blinding her autistic nephew with a
military-style knife as the boy's grandmother looked on, then leaving
him to bleed overnight, authorities said.

The boy's aunt, Lisa Babington, 40, was in stable condition Saturday at
Broward General Medical Center after undergoing surgery for a self-
inflicted eye injury, police said. Detectives said they would interview
Babington about her alleged role in the horrific incident once she awoke
from sedation.

Initially thought to be mute, Edward Alexander Clark Babington, 14,
awoke early Saturday to say his aunt attacked him, said Lt. Rick Rocco,
a spokesman for the Lauderhill Police Department. The boy was blinded in
one eye, and remained in stable condition Saturday afternoon as
specialists tried to salvage the sight in his other eye at a "secure
hospital facility" in Miami, Rocco said. It was not clear whether the
boy would lose vision in his second eye.

Police said they had not determined what, if any, charges they would
file against the boy's grandmother, Stella Babington, 72, who said her
daughter told her not to call 911 when the attack began, and that she
didn't want to get her daughter in trouble, police said.

"This is ghastly, I have never seen anything like it," said Rocco, who
has worked in law enforcement for 23 years. "This is off the scale in
terms of how could someone do something like this to anybody, let alone
a juvenile."

The attack began between 10 and 11 p.m. Thursday, when Lisa Babington
found her nephew asleep in a bedroom at the home they share with the
boy's grandmother in the 8500 block of Northwest 53rd Street, Rocco
said.

Stella Babington told police she saw her daughter plunge a 7-inch knife
into the boy's eyes as she uttered biblical verses and invoked the
devil, Rocco said. The boy was left to bleed in bed overnight, Rocco
said.

At some point Lisa Babington pierced her own eye and staunched the blood
with a towel before driving Friday morning to see her boyfriend, Jason
Willoughby, in Pompano Beach, Rocco said.

She asked Willoughby, 29, to drive her to a church, but then changed her
mind and the couple returned to her Lauderhill home, Rocco said.
Willoughby discovered the bloodied boy and summoned police at about
10:30 a.m., Rocco said.

Reached by telephone Saturday, Willoughby declined to comment.

As police escorted Lisa Babington from her home Friday, neighbor Joanne
Kull, a retired bank employee, said she "was raving on that autistic
children are a gift from God. She said 'please don't let them take me.'"

Court records show Lisa Babington has had a troubled life. She was cited
in 2000 and 2002 for drunken driving in Broward County. They also show
financial hardships ranging from an eviction to debt.

Kull said she couldn't fathom what incited the attack, saying the boy
and his family appeared placid and largely kept to themselves.

The boy takes the bus to Piper High School where he was enrolled as a
ninth grader in September, and often accompanied his grandmother to
Publix, Kull said. He was rarely seen with his aunt, whose father died
in April, Kull said.

No records show that the state Department of Children and Families
contacted the Babingtons before the stabbing, Rocco said. Leslie Mann,
DCF's Broward spokeswoman, said Saturday that she could not say if the
agency had contacted the family.

Stella Babington told police that she and her daughter were the boy's
primary caregivers, Rocco said. It is not clear whether a court ruled on
the boy's custody, or if it was a more informal arrangement between
relatives, Rocco said.

"We are reviewing the entire situation, what will happen to him from
here and who is going to care for him," Mann said.

Jason Knight, who worked with Lisa Babington for five years at Citrix
Systems until early last year, said she often described her nephew as
her "pride and joy."

"Finding this out came as a big shock," Knight said, noting that she was
well-liked and dependable in her job as a software tester. "She had a
picture of her nephew in her office on her desk. She is the last person
I would expect to do this something like this to him.".

It figures that a grandmother would be in the middle of something like
this....and, try to keep it in the family.


The boy's aunt, Lisa Babington, 40, was in stable condition Saturday at
Broward General Medical Center after undergoing surgery for a self-
inflicted eye injury, police said. Detectives said they would interview
Babington about her alleged role in the horrific incident once she awoke

"If any"?


who said her
daughter told her not to call 911 when the attack began, and that she
didn't want to get her daughter in trouble, police said.


Aww, how "motherly".

I'll bet if it was a grandFATHER, though, they'd be charging him with
not reporting it....if not neglecting to place himself between the
knife and the boy's eye.


"This is ghastly, I have never seen anything like it," said Rocco, who
has worked in law enforcement for 23 years.


All the more reason to kick granny's complicit, troublemaking ass into
a cage. If the boy loses his vision, completely, it probably could've
been saved if she had done what she was supposed to.


"This is off the scale in
terms of how could someone do something like this to anybody, let alone
a juvenile."


"Yeaaah." "Riiiiight." ...Dummies. So stop making a show out of
shock and start pushing to give grandma a nice Chinese caning, and
Auntie a seeing eye dog of her own.


The attack began between 10 and 11 p.m. Thursday, when Lisa Babington
found her nephew asleep in a bedroom at the home they share with the
boy's grandmother in the 8500 block of Northwest 53rd Street, Rocco
said.

Stella Babington told police she saw her daughter plunge a 7-inch knife
into the boy's eyes as she uttered biblical verses and invoked the
devil, Rocco said. The boy was left to bleed in bed overnight, Rocco
said.


I wonder which verses? Matthew 5:29 would sound likely. The problem
with most of these Carrie's mommy types, though, is that Jesus
preached these extremes to practice on the self...not others.


At some point Lisa Babington pierced her own eye and staunched the blood
with a towel before driving Friday morning to see her boyfriend, Jason
Willoughby, in Pompano Beach, Rocco said.


I wonder how long before the Scott Petersen lynch mob turns its
attention to this guy? He appears to be the nearest available male.


She asked Willoughby, 29, to drive her to a church, but then changed her
mind and the couple returned to her Lauderhill home, Rocco said.


She must've forgotten her Bible.


Willoughby discovered the bloodied boy and summoned police at about
10:30 a.m., Rocco said.


If he "discovered" what she had done, then she must've cooked up
another story to explain what had happened to her own eye in the
meantime. I'll bet that was an interesting fable. Maybe she brought
him there, without knowledge, in order to somehow implicate him.


Reached by telephone Saturday, Willoughby declined to comment.

As police escorted Lisa Babington from her home Friday, neighbor Joanne
Kull, a retired bank employee, said she "was raving on that autistic
children are a gift from God. She said 'please don't let them take me.'"


Which parts, Lisa? The eyes?


Court records show Lisa Babington has had a troubled life.


Here we go.....


She was cited
in 2000 and 2002 for drunken driving in Broward County. They also show
financial hardships ranging from an eviction to debt.

Kull said she couldn't fathom what incited the attack, saying the boy
and his family appeared placid and largely kept to themselves.


Why do people like Kull always expect to? Is it just that they like
having some excuse to get themselves onto the news?


The boy takes the bus to Piper High School where he was enrolled as a
ninth grader in September, and often accompanied his grandmother to
Publix, Kull said. He was rarely seen with his aunt, whose father died
in April, Kull said.


It sounds like this ought to refer to the boy's father, but it reads
like Babington's.


No records show that the state Department of Children and Families
contacted the Babingtons before the stabbing, Rocco said. Leslie Mann,
DCF's Broward spokeswoman, said Saturday that she could not say if the
agency had contacted the family.

Stella Babington told police that she and her daughter were the boy's
primary caregivers, Rocco said. It is not clear whether a court ruled on
the boy's custody, or if it was a more informal arrangement between
relatives, Rocco said.


Yeah, makes sense. This is all what typically happens when you give
multi-generational matriarchs some throwaway kids in order to allow
them to play house.

They ALWAYS collect whatever kinds of support/charity they can mooch
off of society to support themselves, while the kids (especially the
boys) are generally allowed to run to ****......or, else, totally
abused.


"We are reviewing the entire situation, what will happen to him from
here and who is going to care for him," Mann said.


You do that, Mann.


Jason Knight, who worked with Lisa Babington for five years at Citrix
Systems until early last year, said she often described her nephew as
her "pride and joy."


Hahaha .....classic female-guardian/child-abuser phrase.


"Finding this out came as a big shock," Knight said, noting that she was
well-liked and dependable in her job as a software tester. "She had a
picture of her nephew in her office on her desk. She is the last person
I would expect to do this something like this to him.".


Well, this dude owes me a new monitor, keyboard, and Pepsi for yet
another laughably trite observation.

I'd just love to see some statistics researched as to the number of
exposed female child abusers who always kept up the "my kids are my
life" charade for their family, friends and co-workers, using cheap
scripts like that one...
