Rickesha Burns Accused of Shoving Vibrator Into 2-Year-Old Son's Anus

From PhoenixNewTimes.com

A Phoenix woman is accused of shoving a vibrator into her 2-year-old son's anus, and doctors told police that surgery will be required to remove it.

According to court documents obtained by New Times, 21-year-old Rickesha Burns called police Sunday, reporting that her son was bleeding from his anus. 

Burns said she didn't know what happened. 

She said she was at a park with her son, and while she was "looking at a text message for about 10 seconds," a boy she didn't know at the park did "something" to her son, according to the documents. 

"She said she does not know what he did, but is sure he did something," a probable-cause statement says.

The boy was brought to Phoenix Children's Hospital, and doctors discovered that he has numerous bruises around his anus, a "hanger type" bruise on his hip, and yet another bruise on his neck.

Doctors also found an object lodged in his rectum, which appears to be "a vibrator or some other sex toy."

Police interviewed Burns, who still claimed that a teenage boy at a park did it, even though she "believes it is her vibrator," and police found the boy's blood on her shirt, according to court documents. 

Phoenix Police Officer James Holmes says there was zero evidence that the boy was assaulted at the park.

Burns told police that she "worked hard to get her son back and would not do anything like this to hurt her son." 

[C]ourt records show that Burns was investigated for child abuse in 2011, but it doesn't appear that criminal charges were ever filed. 

The boy was slated to have surgery to get the vibrator removed, according to court documents.... 

Meanwhile, Burns was booked into jail on charges of sexual conduct with a minor, and child abuse. She's being held without bond.

"The foster parents of this little boy are my family. He had 8 broken bones when they first got him from his abusive home and for a year they loved and cared for him to the point where he was finally back to normal and was so happy. He is the sweetest little boy on the planet! Judge Aimee Anderson let the family take this baby back after repeated abuse. This is a huge injustice to this sweet little boy, and this judge should be mortified and quit! Please pass the word along as this should never get to happen to a child under our justice system ever again!"
