Before I start, I am ending the Good Service Award. I can't find any one person to give the awards to each month, so this month, the second and final Good Service Award goes to everyone who is eligible.
The Bellend of the month for October 2012 is Elizabeth Escalona. This month, she was convicted of child abuse after she stuck her daughter Jocelyn's hands to the wall at the end of a brutal beating last year - one that left the toddler with a fractured rib, bleeding in her brain, and bite marks. It sent her into a coma for days. The 23-year-old mother of five exploded in rage because of potty training challenges with Jocelyn, and because of that, she is now behind bars for 99 years, but will be eligible for parole in October of 2042 (after 30 years). This sentence, while disproportionately severe, will send a very strong message to anybody engaging in child abuse or any other criminal behaviour: crime doesn't pay.
