Vallejo tot dies after object jammed down throat; teen faces charges

(12-19) 17:21 PST VALLEJO - An 18-month-old Vallejo girl who was rushed to the hospital last week after an object was jammed down her throat died today of her injuries, which means the 16-year-old boy accused of attacking her will now face a murder charge, investigators said.
Vallejo police Lt. Rick Nichelman said the object had been inserted into Tania Rose's mouth deliberately, but investigators have not yet figured out why.
"This was not as a result of play," he said. "We're still trying to determine what exactly took place." He would not say what the object was.
The teenage suspect was living with Tania and her 19-year-old mother in an apartment on Carolina Street. Investigators are trying to determine if he was the girl's father, Nichelman said.
The boy is being held at Solano County Juvenile Hall on suspicion of homicide and child abuse. His name has not been released because of his age.
Paramedics received a report the evening of Dec. 12 that a child had stopped breathing, and when they got to Tania's apartment they found her unconscious. They removed the object from her throat and took her to a local hospital.
She was then transferred to Kaiser Medical Center in Oakland, where she stayed on life support until dying today, authorities said.

Oh, well, he'ws just a keeeeud. I mean, he's obviously mentally ill or something becasue there's no way someone could just be mean on purpose (sarcasm off).

Glue his nose shut and then gag him so he can't breathe. Sorry bastard.

He just needs some loving. He probably wasn't loved enough as a child. Or his daddy beat his momma. Or he wet his bed till he was 10 and kids at school made fun of him. Just give him some therapy for a few years to "rehabilitate" him so he can someday be let loose on the general public and become a contributing member of society.

Disgusting.
The event that took place, and the fact the poor baby's mother was a fucking 19 year old. Kids shouldn't have kids.

I know people had babies at 18 back in the day, but people were more mature. Most of these young mothers get pregnant because they got smashed at a party and their scumbag boyfriends/one night stands dont wear protection.
