Monster Mom Who Tried to Take Out 'Hit' on 3yo Tot Avoids Prison| Crime Alert 7PM 03.24.2026

Crime alert, hourly update, breaking crime news now.

I'm Jennifer Gold, a South Florida mother who begged a parody rent a hitman website to

murder her own toddler son, just to win back a boyfriend, has officially dodged a 40-year

prison sentence.

Jasmine Piaz, 20, stood in a Miami-Dade courtroom and pleaded guilty to solicitation of first

degree murder, but she walked out of free woman under a stunning plea deal.

The schizophrenic mom received zero jail time, instead being handed two years of strict

community control, followed by 12 years of probation.

The chilling plot began in July of 2023, when the then 18-year-old logged onto a satirical

site that actually functions as a law-enforcement honeypot.

Piaz did not just browse.

She submitted a detailed service request, offering $3,000 to have her three-year-old son,

taken away, far, far away, and possibly be killed, but ASAPN quote, she even uploaded

the little boy's photo and address to ensure the quote-unquote job was done before the

weekend.

The site's creator, Robert Inez immediately flagged the request to Miami-Dade police, who

did not believe him at first.

Inez spoke to WTVJNBC6.

They were not interested.

They sent me an email saying, hey, if I contacted him one more time, they were going to send

me a cease and desist letter.

Eventually a detective was put on the case and launched a sting operation that caught

Piaz red-handed.

Prosecutors revealed a disturbing backstory, noting the boy was likely the product of an

incestuous relationship, and that Piaz was quote-unquote ill-equipped from motherhood after

giving birth at age 15.

The impetus for the hit was a breakup with a new flame who reportedly told her, quote,

get rid of the child if you want me back and quote, while Piaz's parental rights have

been terminated, and she is barred from seeing or contacting the boy until 2040.

She will remain under mental health supervision at her father's home where she now lives.

However, one slip up in her 14-year sentence, and she faces the full 40 years behind bars,

she originally narrowly escaped.

The child has since been legally adopted by Piaz's mom, more crime and justice news after

this.

A furious provo mother did not wait for the school yard system to handle her son's problems.

Nope.

She allegedly took matters into her own hands by hunting down an 11 year old boy, locking

his bicycle with her car and forcing him inside for a terrifying ride to her home.

Shannon Tafuga 40 was slapped with two second-degree felony counts of child kidnapping and aggravated

child abuse.

After authorities say she transformed into a neighborhood vigilante of sorts to settle

a playground score.

Tafuga reportedly spent the afternoon prowling the streets of her Utah neighborhood like

a predator, specifically looking for the child she believed was bullying her autistic son.

The ordeal did not end with a lecture though.

Tafuga allegedly chauffeured the kidnapped kid to her own house without his parents' knowledge

or permission once inside the home.

She reportedly held the boy captive until he begged her son for forgiveness, even after

the 11 year old caved to the pressure and apologized.

The mama bear claws did not retract, charging documents alleged.

Tafuga issued a chilling ultimatum, threatening to have her husband beat the boy and allegedly

snarling that he was, quote, lucky she did not run over his bike and, quote, during the

initial snatch and grab while the charges were downgraded from first-degree felonies in

the, quote, unquote, interest of justice.

Tafuga is still staring down a potential sentence of 15 years to life, if convicted.

Tafuga, who is not currently in custody, has not yet entered a plea.

A judge has ordered her to report to the Utah County jail no later than April 30th.

And finally, this viral confession is leaving a killer aftertaste.

DD, shocked followers by making a choking noise and arm gestures while joking about the

slaying.

Listen, we listen and we don't judge.

I went to prison for eight and a half years because, like, my own mom, oh my god, hey, we

listen and we don't judge.

While the life after lock-up star tried to ride the wave of the viral challenge commenters

were quick to swipe left on her lack of remorse, calling the stunt, quote, unquote, not cute.

After years of being a TV sensation, this real-life performance from the new mom herself
