Florida man in werewolf mask allegedly burned, shocked 2-year-old girl
Sheriff's officials said he recorded the abuse on his cellphone and on home surveillance video.

A man from Florida's Gulf Coast has been arrested for allegedly putting on a werewolf mask and repeatedly abusing the 2-year-old daughter of his girlfriend.

"We’re comforted to some degree by the thought that this precious child will not be harmed tonight," Chief Deputy Chip Simmons of the Escambia County Sheriff's Office told reporters.

The suspect, Andrew Bennett Ross-Celaius, 37, previously stood trial for the 2006 murder of another 2-year-old, but a jury found him not guilty, NBC News affiliate WPMI in nearby Mobile, Alabama reported.

Ross-Celaius was arrested on suspicion of aggravated child abuse, child abuse and possession of a controlled substance, authorities said.

2 years old.

not voting. We all know how people of color are charged at a much higher rate than Whites that use it.

I say no one that can't vote should be paying taxes. That is one the major reasons for the Revolution of 1776.

women who take up with these monsters.

I divorced my first husband, the love of my life, when our daughter was two years old. He came back from Vietnam with a short temper, etc and I didn’t want her to grow up in that environment. Even so, we remained friends until his death last year. My daughter still mourns him.

I blame the mother who exposed her precious daughter to this monster. She should bear some responsibility for this as well.

Doesn't matter what they did in the past, her answer is always "Everyone makes mistakes, who am I to judge, only God can." Her current husband doesn't even have any veins left in his arm from heroin. She said he was a changed man. One look at him and I can tell that he wasn't. She's also clueless as to what's going on. Unless she sees it with her own eyes, she won't believe it

had a friend who was so concerned about exposing her sons to any such problems that she decided to not even date until the youngest was 18. She held to her word. I really respected her for making that decision.

Article does say that the mother was arrested for child neglect.

Look like two completely different people. Crazy!

What a monster though. Already on trial for the death of another two year old... I don't care if he was found not guilty. This stuff adds up.

Read the post by dalton99a, watched the video, and they said explicitly, that the 2nd photo is this monster's friend, whom he called to ask to destroy some more phone evidence, which he did!

Had to return to tell you you were on the right track, for sure, and add the link from dalton99a:

I hope they are able to lock him up for many years. The horror. And the mother of that child needs to looked at by Child Services. Any woman who would leave her 2 year old child with this nightmare needs to be seriously looked at as to whether she is capable of raising a child safely.

That man -- Eric Furnans -- is also in jail tonight.

Investigators think some of the abuse videos may have been shared and ask anyone with information to call Escambia County deputies."

So now it is clear this creep actually DID MURDER another 2 year old child, already, but wasn't imprisoned for it.

Thank you, so much, dalton99. (a)

Outstanding short article, video, not to be missed.

Sometimes "stepfather", but mostly "boyfriend".

And I don't know why, or why a mother would be with someone who could - even with the most remote of chances - be with this person. Especially one who had been suspected of murdering another 2-year-old years before!!

"Investigators believe the mother was unaware of the diagnosed abuse."

Bullshit! Bullshit. Heard that bullshit before, too.
