Girl tells police: Mom 'cooks me in oven'

http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll...imw=Y&0xccff00

HAMTRAMCK -- The license plate in the window of the family Cadillac reads "Best Dad." But a 4-year-old girl told police Mom wasn't nearly so kind.

"Mom cooks me like a turkey in the oven," she told police.

Hamtramck cops stumbled onto the graphic allegations of burnings, beatings and torture after the girl's mother phoned police Jan. 23 and confessed to "harming her children," Detective Ben Bielecki said Thursday.

The allegations belied outside appearances of a happy family, shocking neighbors of the family whose front picture window is adorned with the sign "1 God."

"They were new to the neighborhood," said Deandre Martin, 28, who lives next door to the white, two-story home near Holbrook. "I didn't realize what was going on. It's horrific. I'm just happy the kids are alive."

Reyna Valentino, 40, a mother of five, faces life in prison on allegations that she burned her 4-year-old daughter in an oven, used a hot nail or screwdriver to singe her eyelids and beat her 5-year-old daughter's leg with a pry bar.

She was arraigned Wednesday on felony charges of first-degree child abuse and torture in 31st District Court.

The 4-year-old gave her account to investigators.

"She said, 'Her heart is hurt and broke because momma doesn't love me anymore,' " Bielecki read from the report.

"  'Mom cooks me like a turkey in the oven. I felt fire. It burned my back,' " he read. " 'She hurts me with a screwdriver all the time.' "

Police said Valentino's husband, Randy, wasn't home and there's no evidence that he abused their children.

After the incident, Valentino called police about 3 p.m. to come get her.

"She said she is harming her family," Bielecki said. "It's extreme. It's an awful thing that's happened. I just hope she doesn't get custody of the kids -- ever."

The couple has three other children, two boys believed to be 7 and 8 years old and an infant who is about 8 months, Bielecki said.

All five children are in foster care and doing well, he said. Martin said police removed them from the house about a week ago.

Martin said the family moved in during the fall. He never saw Valentino but said her children were always smiling, laughing and seemingly healthy.

Valentino spent more than a week undergoing a psychiatric evaluation at Detroit Receiving Hospital after the incident.

She's now being housed in the Wayne County Jail awaiting a preliminary hearing on Thursday. Social Services officials are assessing her mental condition, police said.

Valentino will have a court-appointed lawyer next week, court officials said.

That is absolutely disgusting. How could one be so heartless as to harm your own children?
Something I find interesting is a lot of these mothers you hear on the news abusing their children are extremely religious.

What amazes me more than the harm she did to the kids is that she reported herself. Makes me wonder what's been going on in her head, honestly..

If Geo had a horrifically abusive father, then no, it's not stupid. :P

The father was not the abusive one.
I don't know what Geo is implying, but all of you are just shooting in the dark.

Yes, he was abusive in unthinkable ways.
And yes, Necro is stupid.

I also just read about a 2yr old who died with over 100 external injuries. the mum and her bf have been jailed. him for atleast 23yrs and her for 9. Makes me fucking ill keep reading about these. The worst thing is, there is nothing that will give the dead back their lives or the living back the years they lost being abused and treated worse than animals.

Guys, why do you keep responding to necro?
He's a little bitch, we all know it, that's why he craves the attention.

Geo: I'm sorry that you had to go through that. No child should have to suffer abuse or neglect.

Why do you need to know so badly? Abuse is hard to talk about for some folks who have lived through it.

Well, hey. I don't have a hard time talking about when I was six and got molested by another six year old.
But, fine. She can keep it a secret.
