Goldine Williams, Chicago Grandma Charged With Burning Grandkids And Forcing Them To Eat Cat Food

Shattering the image of the kind and loving grandmother, a Chicago woman has been charged with burning, biting and beating the very grandchildren she was expected to protect.

Police say the 6-year-old grandson and 5-year-old granddaughter of Goldine Williams, 47, were beaten with items like extension cords and accessories from a Halloween costume, burned with hair irons, scratched, bitten and even forced to eat cat food, the Chicago Tribune reports.

According to ABC Chicago, the abuse took place in October and at a different home than the South Shore apartment where Williams was living at the time of her arrest.

The Department of Children and Family Services said the kids had been taken from their biological mom in 2008 after "sustained claims of abuse and neglect," reports Fox Chicago. DCFS put the two children in Williams' care and worked with her until she was given guardianship in 2011, according to DCFS spokesman Jimmie Whitelow.

The two youngsters are with different relatives now, according to CBS Chicago. Meanwhile, Williams will sit behind bars, held in lieu of $200,000 bond on charges of aggravated battery to a child.

Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu’s Will...Guess Who Gets The Biggest Slice?...Mention Of A Secret Child!

 Ojukwu's Will: " Fair, but i am shocked by his mention of a secret daughter"-Bianca

 

Members of the Ojukwu family will definitely be bracing for another round of battle as the will of the late Ikemba Nnewi, was on Friday presented to the family with his widow, Bianca, getting the lion’s share.

The presentation of the will by the Chief Registrar of the Enugu High Court, Mr Dennis Ekoh, was witnessed by Bianca, Mr Val Nwosu, Ojukwu’s first cousin, and Mr Mike Ejemba. In the will, the late Ojukwu identified one Tenny Haman as one of his children.

Ojukwu’s children, as listed are: Tenny Haman, Chukwuemeka Jnr, Mmegha, Okigbo, Ebele, Chineme, Afam and Nwachukwu.

Meanwhile, the Ikemba gave the Casabianca Lodge at No. 7, Forest Crescent, GRA, Enugu, two properties at Jabi and Kuje in the FCT as well as all his money and personal effects to his widow. He also said that Bianca should replace him as the trustee in the family company, Ojukwu Transport Ltd, while also giving her two plots of land in his village at Nnewi. He, however, added that if she re-married, the land should be taken away from her.

The first son, Emeka Jnr., got the family house at Nnewi, while the newly mentioned daughter, Tenny Haman, got the Jubilee Hotel located in Zaria, Kaduna State. The Biafran warlord also shared other landed property in the village among all his children. Ojukwu listed the trustees and executors of the will to include Bianca, Emeka Jnr and Mr James Chukwuneme.

However, reacting to the will, Bianca, who is Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain, expressed satisfaction with its contents. According to her, “It was a fair will. This time round, he did not disappoint us,’’ she said. The ambassador, however, expressed shock at the disclosure of a new daughter in the family, whom she said had never been mentioned by her husband. None of the children was present at the presentation of the will.

Michael Jackson's Father Suffers Mild Stroke

LAS VEGAS — A spokeswoman for Michael Jackson's father says the musical family's patriarch has suffered a mild stroke.
Angel Howansky says Joe Jackson went to a Las Vegas hospital late Wednesday night when he had trouble standing up and walking. She says the 83-year old Jackson was having pains in his head but reports he is feeling fine Thursday and should be released on Friday.
She says he called a friend who drove him to the hospital.
Jackson's wife, Katherine, is reportedly on her way to Las Vegas to be with him. Jackson has maintained a residence there for many years while his wife lives in Los Angeles, where she cares for the late pop star's children.
Howansky says Jackson has had small strokes at least twice before this.
