EAST PEORIA — Police are investigating the cause of an incident involving a 2-year-old boy who was transported Saturday night to a burn unit in Springfield with severe injuries.
Peoria police responded about 9:40 p.m. Saturday to a hang-up call at a home in Peoria.
When officers arrived, they discovered the toddler had severe burns to his head, chest and neck area. The child's mother, Shaquana Hannah, 25, told police the toddler had pulled a pot of boiling water down on himself, said Sgt. Mike Hermacinski.
Police arranged for transport of the child to the burn unit at a Springfield hospital.
The case was turned over to East Peoria police because Hannah's story was inconsistent and because she told police the incident occurred earlier at an undisclosed location in East Peoria, Hermacinski said.

FOLLOW -UP---WOMAN WHO WAS FOUND BEATIN TO DEATH,DAUGHTER AND BOYFRIEND REMAIN MISSING...
The mother of the "person of interest" Vernon Hills police are seeking in connection with a beating death in the north suburban community last week said today that she has reported her son "missing and endangered."
Diane Baker said she has no idea of the whereabouts of her son, Daniel, 21, who along with his girlfriend Kristina Aksman, 20, have not been seen since Aksman's mother, Marina Aksman, was found beaten to death in her home April 1.
In a phone interview Baker, a Deerfield resident, said she filed a missing-person report for her son to police in that city Saturday night. She declined to answer other questions, referring all inquiries to her lawyer Ed Genson.
"I love my son very much," she said. Asked why she believed her son was endangered, she said: "He's missing. That's it. I have no further comment."
Vernon Hills police initially deemed both Daniel Baker and Kristina Aksman "persons of interest" in the investigation but later revised the characterization, calling Aksman "missing and endangered."
Police said she has physical and mental disabilities and that it wasn't clear if she had her medications with her.
Reached this afternoon, Genson confirmed that he was representing the Bakers.
"The fact is both kids are missing. The fact is no one knows where they are. The fact is that no one knows what they did, if anything," Genson said, speaking of Daniel Baker and Kristina Aksman. "We're just waiting to see what pans out when the children are somehow caught or surrender or come in for questioning. Then we'll know where we are."
Genson is one of the Chicago area's most prominent defense attorneys. For a time following Rod Blagojevich's arrest, he represented the former governor. Genson also represented R&B star R. Kelly, who was acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008.
In March, a judge appointed Marina Aksman as her daughter's legal guardian after a doctor said Kristina Aksman suffered from "a seizure disorder and developmental delay," had received special education at school and was "not fully capable to take care of herself."---http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/

MAN STABBED FOUR TIMES AFTER COMING TO THE AID OF WOMAN...
GENEVA – A Geneva man has been charged with attempted murder after police said he stabbed another man at least four times late Saturday night.
Police said Brent A. West, 26, of the 700 block of North Street, Geneva, stabbed the man after he intervened in an altercation between West and a woman. The man is recovering at Delnor Hospital, police said.
West was charged armed violence – a Class X felony – attempted first-degree murder – a Class 1 felony – aggravated domestic battery – a Class 2 felony – and two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, both Class 3 felonies.
The Geneva Police Department responded to the scene at 11:24 p.m. Saturday after hearing a report of a fight in progress with a knife involved. Police said they arrived to the scene in the 700 block of North Street in Geneva and the victim was on the ground with four possible knife wounds.
Police said that the victim intervened in a fight between West and a woman. West then grabbed a 4-inch kitchen knife and confronted the victim while holding the knife. The victim tried to calm West down, police said, but West stabbed the victim in the rear of his upper left leg. The victim put his hand up to block the next attack, and West stabbed him in the left wrist. Police said the victim then fell to the ground, flat on his back.
While on his back, police said, West stabbed him two times in the abdomen. The victim was unarmed, police said. The victim, who was conscious, was transported to Delnor Hospital, where he still is recovering.
Based on witness reports and evidence, police said, they located and arrested West inside his apartment. West currently is being held at the Kane County Judicial Center on $500,000 bond.

SWEET DREAMS--My Best Friend 8---In search of......
I don't remember very much about anything that happened after being hit.I remember seeing him run away before the police arrived.I don't remember being transported to the police station,I just remember a detective taking me into a room to talk with my abuser.They had caught him and he had asked to speak with me.He begged me not to press charges and of course told me that the whole incident was MY FAULT.He made promises that he would leave me and our kids alone.He promised if I didn't press charges he would pay my dental bills and see to it that my teeth were fixed.He cried and begged like a wounded animal and I felt guilty for the choices I had made.I should have done things differently,I don't know how but could have looked for another way out.I agreed not to press charges against him and he was released.Almost immediately he went back on his promises.We started arguing over our two young children and even his Mom had come to his defense,I said they were my babies and he had no right to take them from me.His Mom said that he had just as much right to have custody of them as I did.I did not agree with this because I loved my babies and had cared for them and taken care of them,while he would go out on his many,many drunken escapades.My Daddy had taken care of my children financially.He had never bought anything that our children had needed.Not even basic their basic needs like formula and diapers but now all of sudden he wanted to take my children from me.I knew it was out of his own selfish need to punish me.Abuser's ALWAYS have to be in CONTROL.Anyway I had seen the Dentist once shortly after I lost my two upper front teeth and the dentist had told me that if I had come in immediately after he hit me,my original teeth could have been restored but now it was too late.I would have to get a bridge or a partial and he explained the difference to me.I choose the bridge and thank Jehovah God my Daddy still had me covered under his Blue Cross/Blue Shield Insurance plan,if he had not I would not have been able to get my mouth fixed.I can remember looking in the mirror after styling my hair and doing my make-up,I would smile and then break down crying uncontrollably.My beautiful smile was gone,there was this big open space in the front of my mouth where my two upper front teeth use to be.The only good thing that I can remember about that time was that he was gone,my abusive husband was all moved out of our apartment.Finally I no longer had to live under the same roof with this horrible and disgusting person that I dispised.But little did I know at the time,it was a FAR CRY FROM OVER.I had applied for public assistance and now had a home phone installed in my apartment.Now my best friend and I were talking by telephone and one day she called me and told me something horrible.He current boyfriend that she had been known since childhood had attacked her and hit her mouth on the kitchen sink,knocking out her two upper front teeth.I couldn't believe that she was now in the same situation as I.I can't remember what she told me that triggered the attack but this was so unreal.Why were these things happening to us???

ALLEGED BROOKLYN RAPIST NABBED
A 26-year-old man was busted Saturday for a pair of gunpoint rapes that rattled residents of two Brooklyn neighborhoods, police said.
Dupree Nicholson was charged with rape, assault and robbery after his DNA matched evidence taken from the March attacks near the border of Clinton Hill and Bedford-Stuyvesant, police said.
In both assaults, Nicholson approached his victims and brandished a handgun, police said. He then pulled the women into nearby alleyways and raped them, police said.
After receiving a tip that Nicholson matched the NYPD's description of the rapist, detectives asked the suspect to supply a DNA sample - which he agreed to do, police said.

Ivanka Trump's Stalker Threatened to kill himself in her jewelry shop
Ivanka Trump's accused stalker was so obsessed with her that he threatened to kill himself in her posh Madison Ave. jewelry boutique, prosecutors charged yesterday.
A crazed Justin Massler terrorized the 27-year-old daughter of real-estate mogul Donald Trump for two years with creepy e-mails and on Twitter, where he posted a picture of himself covered in blood, prosecutors said.
Massler - who has a history of mental problems and once legally changed his name to Cloud Stormchaser also purchased an $800 pair of earrings from her jewelry store, then became infuriated when store employees failed to deliver them to her, according to court documents.
Extradited from Nevada to face a New York judge, Massler, 27, posted on Twitter that his "dream in life" was to marry and start a family with Ivanka Trump, the blond co-host of "The Celebrity Apprentice."
"I used to stalk her but psychiatrists chased me out of NYC, so I can't now," he tweeted.
The twitchy, long-haired Massler is also accused of sending disturbing messages to Ivanka Trump's husband, media scion Jared Kushner, vowing to "commandeer" his newspaper.
Massler repeatedly attacked Kushner by saying he "has stolen everything from me" and saying that because of Kushner, "there is no sun in the sky, no stars in the wind."
Then, in an e-mail sent to Kushner before the couple's high-profile fairy tale wedding in October, Massler threatened suicide.
"I will specifically kill myself at Ivanka Trump jewelry," Massler wrote after complaining that previous suicide threats were ignored by Kushner, who owns The New York Observer newspaper
