WTF is wrong with people, this incident just happened in Escondido where Irmanator and I live. You should have seen her antics on the NEWS, screaming and crying, a day after she put her sons body in a bag in a dumpster, makes me so gosh darn mad...

ESCONDIDO -- The mother of a toddler missing since Sunday was booked into Vista jail Tuesday night after leading sheriff's detectives to a trash Dumpster containing the baby's body near the family's rural Escondido-area home.
Erika Panyavong directed detectives to the body of 19-month-old Keithan Panyavong after she and the baby's father, Chen Phrakousonh, were taken to the San Marcos Sheriff's Station for questioning Tuesday afternoon, sheriff's homicide Capt. Clay Reynard said in a briefing following the discovery.
Erika Panyavong was later taken to the Vista jail, where she was booked on suspicion of first-degree murder.
Reynard said the mother told detectives the child's death was accidental, and that Keithan was sick and she medicated him and he stopped breathing, Reynard said. Detectives are still trying to confirm that information.
Earlier Tuesday private investigator Bill Garcia, who is working for the Panyavong family, had told reporters in a guarded statement outside the family's home that the mother was responsible for the baby's disappearance.
He did not say at that time whether the child was dead or alive.
Garcia made the statement immediately after Keithan's parents were whisked away by sheriff's detectives in an unmarked sedan for questioning.
"She is responsible for the boy's disappearance," Garcia said. "She told me she's been holding this in ... it's been bothering her since Saturday evening," Garcia said. "She was the last person to see him."
The boy was reported missing from his home in the 900 block of Deodar Road, a rural, wooded area, about 1 p.m. Sunday. The older single-story home is in an unincorporated area in the northwest part of the city near Rock Springs elementary school. The family initially told detectives they last saw the toddler active about 11 p.m. Saturday night when they put him to bed. He was discovered missing sometime before 8 a.m., they said.
The mother told investigators she went on an errand after putting Keithan to bed, and detectives said they suspect that this is when she took the toddler out of the house and put him in the Dumpster in front of someone's home in the 1600 block of Rock Springs Road. The family in the home does not know the Panyavongs, Reynard said.
Following the toddler's disappearance, the mother made tearful statements to television reporters saying she was worried about her missing son. Later, she made comments that she was upset when authorities took her two older children into protective custody about 10 p.m. Monday.
Reynard said investigators had not examined the child's body as of 6 p.m. Tuesday. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
Both took lie-detector tests but Reynard said he would not discuss the results.
Reynard said detectives suspected from the beginning that the mother was being evasive and was holding some information back. Detectives suspect she came forward because of pressure from her husband and the private investigator to talk to authorities, Reynard said.
When Garcia spoke to reporters about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, he said this has been a difficult time for the family. He said when the mother's other two children were removed from the home, that prompted her to come to her family with the information. The family asked her to do the right thing and that's what she is doing, he said.
He said Keithan's parents "both cried, and they held a religious ceremony. They made peace with what happened."
Reynard said Tuesday morning that they felt it would be prudent to remove Keithan's 7-year-old sister and 12-year-old brother until they understood what happened. Reynard also had expressed an interest in questioning the children Monday, but it was unknown if that had occurred Tuesday morning.
The children remained in protective custody Tuesday evening, Reynard said.
Late Tuesday night, more than 20 members of the Panyavongs' extended family gathered outside the home.
"All the members of our family are coping as much as we can," Erika Panyavong's sister, Katrina Panyavong said. "We're in shock ... There's a lot of tears and heartache."
Katrina Panyavong and Kelly Keophachanh, Keithan's cousin, remembered the child as an energetic, friendly boy who "wouldn't harm even an ant."
Keophachanh said she had spoken with Keithan's siblings, and "they're doing OK."
The family plans to adopt the two kids, she said, and "we're working on that."
Sheriff's deputies searched the home and property extensively and reinterviewed the child's parents Monday, Reynard said. The search and rescue had turned into a missing-person case Monday as well, and was turned over to the sheriff's homicide team which handles those investigations.
Late Monday, detectives left the scene, and only returned Tuesday to pick up the parents.
