Child Abuse Offender (Killer) In Trouble Again

[Sugar Cookie]

A man who pled guilty to child abuse 10 years ago is again in trouble with the law after his girlfriend’s child was found with a skull fracture and severe bruising. Steven Gallegos, 31, and 21-year-old Stromy Torres were arrested earlier this month after a family took the child to the hospital.

Police say Torres told the family the boy had been running in his room, slipped, and hit his head on a toy. She claimed they had food poisoning and the bruising came from her grabbing the child into the bathroom.

When police found out Torres’s boyfriend, Steven Gallegos, had been watching the child while Torres was not home, she admitted to police she lied to the family. She then claimed Gallegos lost his balance while holding the child and the boy fell into the toys.

Later, they claimed the boy was upset about getting a haircut and threw himself on the ground, hitting his head. A medical examiner said their stories didn’t explain the injuries and that there was evidence of abuse on more than one occasion.

Torres and Gallegos are charged with child abuse and conspiracy to commit a felony. Gallegos was on parole for a previous child abuse case that resulted in the child’s death and has been charged with violating parole as well.

From Jul 21, 2014

A 24-year-old Pojoaque man charged in the child-abuse death of his former girlfriend’s 3-year-old son pleaded guilty in state District Court in Santa Fe, nearly four years after the boy, Leland Valdez, died.
According to the terms of his plea deal, Steven Gallegos, 24, will be sentenced to 17 years in prison.
Gallegos faced a basic sentence of 21 years for the charges to which he pleaded guilty — 18 years for intentional child abuse resulting in death and three years for intentional child abuse resulting in great bodily harm. But the District Attorney’s Office agreed to reduce that total by four years as part of the deal. Also, two other child abuse charges against Gallegos were dropped under the agreement.

Gallegos’ defense attorney, Dan Marlowe, said Gallegos also will get credit for time served and will be eligible to have his time behind bars shortened by exhibiting good behavior in prison. Given those considerations, Marlowe said, Gallegos could potentially be released from prison in just over seven years.

WOW WOW WOW
WHY did she ever let him near her child... He probably fed her a pack of lies and she ate it all up because he was older and seemed soooo mature and experienced and trustworthy... Good Lord, 21 year olds can be so fucking dumb sometimes.

You would think that this female would see that this wastrel of a male is a short tempered , easily annoyed , convicted child Murderer! Certainly Not someone you would ever expose your precious baby too! Wouldn’t he have been on supervision probation? Post release from prison someone telling him he shouldn’t be living with Any minor child? That little Leland’s life was so devalued and now another child seriously injured again! How many more women with children will sacrafice them for this worthless monster? When will the state value the innocent children lives enough to give the monster the DP or put them in prison for life? When will women or men throughly VET / background check any person they bring Into close contact with their precious child?

Did you forget "Thuumpr's Rule of Wonder Years"?

I'll add it as a tag line but 18-27 years of age is the time you wonder what the hell a parent has raise...

It's like Mystery Date... will they be a serial killer, a rapist, a pedophile, a wife/spouse abuser, a child abuser...
Mostly will they be a disappointment, failure, doctor, future president, fan of DD...

Woah! I resent that!

It's thoroughly 'vet' (small letters!). Will guarantee that most 'VETS' would always display a character (both public and private) that everyone would enjoy.

'VET' suggest you're complaining, well, about VETS.

And yes... everyone makes mistakes. Two 'Felon' wives for me. Apparently not bright enough to recognize trouble down the road (and no, it wasn't sex - wasn't impressed).

At the very least, a condition of his parole should be that he cannot live in the same home as children. Come on!

 

[runninfawn]

he served so little time for killing a child that really it was a joke .. it didn't take him long after release to start the cycle again and this time only thanks to the caring person that brought the child to hospital or it wouldn't have been long till this news would have read "child killer kills again". He might get a longer sentence this time only due to being a repeat offender but i doubt it cuz his lawyer will sure try hard to keep the fact that he killed a child before cuz it might go against him with a jury or judge... No time off for good behaviour for child/senior/or special need person abusers or sex offenders found guilty of abuse because it is easy to have to have good behaviour while in jail when everyone they come in contact with can and will fight back.. i sure hope this time around no plea deals, no time off for good behaviour or he will keep repeating till he actually gets to be a serial child killer....

 

[Sugar Cookie]

I can't respect any woman who would allow a child abuser or killer to be anywhere near their child.

If a man told me he was in prison I would look up what he actually did and not take his word that he was framed or took a deal because he was innocent and did not want a longer sentenced.

I do think she knew because she made up so many excuses as to why the child got hurt.

She didn’t eat anything up but his Dick. She admitted she purposely lied to protect her man. Had nothing to do with being trusting and dumb, and everything to do with putting the D above her baby.

This is such a fail.
Our judicial system needs to do better.

He should have been locked up for life, since apparently he can't stop himself from beating babies. Hopefully this time he won't get an early release!

 

[Jellyfish Brain]

17 years, but actually only 4 and he gets a pony upon release. Exactly like Fawn said, who gives a fuck about "good behaviour" in prison?! Do they have toddlers running around the cells? No? Then how the fuck do they know he'll be fine with kids again. This fucker WILL kill again. Then they'll say "Oh 60 years in jail such justice" ignoring the fact they sacrificed multiple innocent babies before they FINALLY throw the book at him.

 

[DamagedGoods]

Can't wait to see what idiot gives him her baby to murder right after he gets out of jail for trying to murder this one.

–An Albuquerque woman who allowed a convicted child abuser to care for her child received her sentence on Monday.

In 2022, a family brought Stromy Torres’ child to the hospital with a skull fracture and severe bruising. The family said Torres told them the child had hit his head on a toy and the bruising was from being carried.

Torres recently took a plea deal agreeing to plead guilty to two counts of abuse and other drug charges. Judge Joseph Montaño sentenced her to six years in the Department of Corrections.
