BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- "It was pretty bizarre," said neighbor Ramon Rodriguez.

Rodriguez was one of the first to discover 34-year-old Angelo Mendoza on April 28 after police said Mendoza bit an eyeball out of his 4-year-old son's face and ate it.

"The guy was crazy. Real bug-eyed; he had to be on drugs," said Rodriguez.

Court documents said neighbors checked on Mendoza's son, Angelo Jr., after they noticed the father acting nervously and fleeing from his east Bakersfield apartment in his wheelchair. Inside, they found little Angelo naked and bleeding. Police said the boy had numerous bites to his hands and his eyes were swollen shut. Doctors said the boy's left eye and muscle were completely missing. His other eye was mutilated beyond repair. The boy told them, "My daddy ate my eyes out." Rodriguez said meanwhile Mendoza approached him at a neighbor's vacant house down the street.

Rodriguez said the boy's father wheeled himself into the front yard and asked Rodriguez to play with him and a pet dog. He was wearing boxers and a sweater. When Rodriguez refused, Mendoza got off his wheelchair and dragged himself into a back yard, where he found an ax.

By then Mendoza had stripped naked. He chained himself to a tree in the back yard and began hacking at his leg with a pickax while yelling incoherently.

"He told me to look into the sun and pray with him. I was kinda scared for a minute," said Rodriguez.

Then Rodriguez jumped on Mendoza and wrestled the ax away.

"As soon as I grabbed the ax he tried to bite me, and I had to hold him down with my knee. There was dry blood around his mouth. I don't know if it was his own, but I'm pretty sure it was his son's now that I hear the story," said Rodriguez.

The police report said Mendoza appeared to be under the influence of PCP. Rodriguez said had he known about little Angelo, the outcome would have been different.

"I would've just let him cut his leg off. What happened to his son is not right. I would've left him alone," said Rodriguez.

Mendoza was arrested on charges of torture, aggravated mayhem, and cruelty to a child. The toddler is now in the custody of Child Protective Services. Mendoza is due in court May 20. His bail is set at $1 million.
 
Shoulda put 'NOMNOMNOM' in the thread title.
 
"My daddy ate my eyes out"...I admit, I giggled at this.
 
:wow::huh::csad::cmad: <--- exact re-enactment of the stages i went through while reading.
 
Stories like these are sadly becoming all too common now.
 
Humanity is ****ed up. First spaceship off this rock, and i'm on it.
 
And guess what, they'll be on that spaceship with you

Thats where my plan comes in: terminate everyone on board except me and the pilot.... hell depending on the ships technology, I may not even need the pilot! :D:up:


But then I wouldnt be much better than them, would I? :csad:
 
I'm curious to know about the mother or some other guardian. Is a father in a wheelchair aloud to look after his son?
 
Unreal. Thats straight out of a horror movie. Poor kid.

the neighbor sounds awesome though:

then Mendoza had stripped naked. He chained himself to a tree in the back yard and began hacking at his leg with a pickax while yelling incoherently..."I was kinda scared for a minute"..."I would've just let him cut his leg off."
 
This is why some drugs are illegal and should stay that way folks. Futhermore I hope that due to the drugs involved and the fact that he'll probably get a court appointed attorney that he doesn't try an insanity plea and actually goes away for a long time.

Poor kid.

this gets used way too much

Stop making us facepalm then.
 
This has to be the most disgusting thing I've read in a LONG time. :cmad:
 
This sounds like something out of a horror movie. That guy should never see the outside again.
