So it's Monday, which I like waaaay better than Sunday, but which also means a stew of news of sick fucks at work hoping for at spot in the Sick Fuck Hall of Fame.
Woman set on fire in Houston
First we have the case of a 33-year-old woman in Houston who answered her front door Saturday "to an unknown person" only to be doused with a flammable liquid and set on fire.
Neighbors said they saw her running and described her as being on fire "from head to toe."
No one has been arrested.
The woman, whose name has not been released, was hospitalized in critical condition with burns over most of her body.

Woman webcasting live sexual abuse of her kid busted
British detectives said Monday an investigation into Internet child pornography uncovered a woman in the U.S. suspected of using a webcam to broadcast live sexual abuse of her young child.
Another one for the Mother of the Year award...
British police launched the investigation last Thursday when officers arrested an 18-year-old man in central England, who was later charged with possessing and distributing abusive images of children, Reuters reported. The following day, detectives contacted Britain's Child Exploitation Online Protection agency and the U.S. Embassy, leading to the arrest of the woman in Maine.
Police said the woman's four children, aged between 18 months and five years, had been taken into protective custody and she had been charged with gross sexual assault and was being held on a $20,000 bail.
"Our officers worked through the night on Thursday and Friday to ensure the identification and safety of these children across the other side of the world," said Detective Chief Inspector Dave McCrone of West Midlands Police.
That's all we know so far.

They 18-year-old punk was arrested Saturday and charged with 19 counts of animal cruelty, 19 counts of improper disposal of dead animals, and four counts of burglary.(See Serial cat killer caught, posted June 14)
Weinman lives in Cutler Bay and has lived with his parents in Palmetto Bay, the two towns where the 19 cats were killed.
Pet owners and police began discovering skinned and gutted cats May 13. Thirty-four cats have been found dead in the towns, but only 19 could be linked to the serial cat killer, as some of the cats were killed by dogs.
Weinman, who works odd jobs but spends most of his time at home and unemployed and whose sealed juvenile record includes two prior offenses, had been a person of interest for several weeks, police said.
"The cruelty of these crimes were horrific for the animal victims, but there were many human victims as well," Cutler Bay Mayor Paul Vrooman said."Let's not forget the children and the families who found their pets mutilated. These awful scenes inflicted a human toll."
More likely to come later...
