The Phoenix woman accused of shoving a vibrator into her 2-year-old son's anus has pleaded not guilty to charges in the case, and we're wondering if there's anyone out there buying her excuse.

Rickesha Burns, 21, called police about two weeks ago, reporting that her son was bleeding from his anus but said she didn't know exactly what happened.

She said she was at a park with her son that day, March 24, and while she was "looking at a text message for about 10 seconds," a boy she didn't know at the park did "something" to her son, according to court documents obtained by New Times.

"She said she does not know what he did but is sure he did something," a probable-cause statement says.

The boy was brought to Phoenix Children's Hospital, and doctors discovered that he had numerous bruises around his anus, a "hanger-type" bruise on his hip, and yet another bruise on his neck.

Doctors also found an object lodged in his rectum, which appears to be "a vibrator or some other sex toy."

Police interviewed Burns, who still claimed that a teenage boy at a park did it, even though she "believes it is her vibrator," and police found the boy's blood on her shirt, according to court documents.

A Phoenix police spokesman said there was zero evidence that the boy was assaulted at the park.

Burns' son needed to have surgery to get the vibrator removed, according to court documents.

Now, try to keep an open mind here, and tell us, is there any possible way you could buy Burns' excuse here?
