The mother of an 11-year old boy is being charged with endangerment of a child and malicious punishment of a child after she stopped her son from escaping their apartment where he was being assaulted by his father.
The boy’s father, William T. Hurley, was beating him with an extension cord, as well as his fist, and then burned him with an iron after the boy had received a beating with the belt from his mother after being found hiding under his mother’s bed.
The boy ran out of the apartment, so his mother grabbed him and dragged him back in, the complaint said. The boy ran to hide in the oven, and his mother turned on the stove to force him out, when he got out of the oven, Hurley started beating him again.
When officers arrived on the scene they found marks and burns on the boy’s body. The father had to be restrained, after threatening to beat his son again. The boy was taken to the hospital.

I read about this in the paper, such a horrible and sad story. I hope that child grows up to win the lottery or something because of all he's been through. It makes me so angry to read about people who could hurt a child, I don't understand it.
ReplyDeleteStories like this make my heart hurt. I am so sad for this boy. I hope he gets taken away from them and has someone sane to live with. Poor boy.
ReplyDeleteI hate stories like these. How sad. I hope he'll be OK.
ReplyDeleteI almost wrote my story on this as well. Stories like this are so sad. I can't believe someone would do something like that to their child.
