An Indiana man was arrested earlier this week in connection with the death of his 4-year-old son.

Alan Morgan, 28, stands accused of murder in the first degree after LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office deputies discovered the dead body of Judah Morgan inside of his rural home early Monday morning.

Mary Yoder, the child’s mother, was also arrested Wednesday morning. It is presently unclear if charges will be filed against her. Currently, Yoder is in custody on a 48-hour hold, LaPorte County Jail records show.

Responding officers found the boy along with three other children, who were unharmed, and immediately began looking for the elder Morgan as a person of interest. He was arrested just hours later.

Judah Morgan was discovered sometime around 3:00 a.m. without any clothes on and wrapped in a blanket after Yoder dialed 911, according to local CBS affiliate WSBT, The station notes that an autopsy showed the boy was covered in bruises and died from blunt force trauma to the head which caused bleeding on his brain.

Court documents obtained by WSBT allege a distinct pattern of abuse. The father is alleged to have regularly beaten and punished his son to the point of torture, locking him up in the family’s dark basement, naked, for days at a time over toilet training issues and often duct-taping the boy’s mouth shut.

A probable cause affidavit was presented to La Porte County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Julianne Havens and the La Porte County Circuit Court on Tuesday, resulting in the formal murder charge along with five neglect of a dependent charges and one count of cruelty to an animal, according to local NBC affiliate WNDU. The report did not explain the basis of the animal cruelty count.

Jenna Hullett had been the dead boy’s legal guardian via kinship placement custody since he was 4-months-old until April of this year when she was forced to return him to his biological parents, according to local ABC affiliate WBND.

“He was an angel,” she told the station in remembrance. “He was very very bright. He was very very happy. Energetic. I was kind of already mourning, but I kept hoping we would see him again, and I told my husband I was going write him letters so that when he got older he would know that we didn’t just leave him and that we did love him and that we didn’t give up on him.”

Jenna Hullett says that Hoosier State child protective services were well aware of the abuse and that she repeatedly contacted them about the situation, providing visual evidence.

“DCS was aware of it,” she said, “The casa was aware of it. I gave the casa and DCS messages, pictures of abuse with the older child. There are too many children that this is happening to that are going through the system…I think the system failed him, along with many other children and it needs to stop.”

Indiana Father Charged with Murder of 4-Year-Old 'Angel' of a Son After Months of Alleged Torture. The Victim's Mother Was Also Arrested.

“He had the curliest, like most cherub face, like always so happy, running around,” Judah Morgan's cousin Kyle Hullett said.

Inside they found Judah dead with bruises and red marks around his face and head, court documents say. Three other kids in the house at the time were taken to the hospital, though no adults were there.

Court documents say that Yoder called 911 dispatchers and said that Morgan had lost his temper and hurt Judah. And, she said, he might run from the house.

Police then spoke with Yoder, who told investigators that Morgan would abuse Judah by tying him up in the basement, not giving him food and sometimes beating him "as punishment for not being potty-trained," court documents say.

Sometimes Judah would be kept in the basement for days at a time, court documents say, and Yoder admitted to sending him to the basement herself on occasion.

Anyone with half a brain knows this had absolutely zero to do with potty training. I have little doubt this smart, happy boy was fully trained before being sent to this house of torture.
The boy had been removed from these abusers for most of his life. The wise zen masters who chose to return him have his blood on their hands also.
 
My children were fully potty trained right under thru a little over 2 years .. my oldest grand just turned 4 and is fully potty trained but every once in awhile has a night accident .. he was deathly afraid the toilet would bite or eat him .. lol .. my youngest grand just turned 2 and pulls his willy whacker and runs for the pot .. we had to get a box for him to stand on .. he's still too tiny to get it over and in..
 
When I was 4 years old I was out in my yard with my older brother (by 1 yr), and had to pee badly. I knew I wouldn't make it into the house without wetting myself so I went behind a bush, dropped my drawers and took care of business. Unfortunately my brother saw me when I was pulling up my pants and with a shocked gasp said the classic "I'm gonna tell!" Well, my asshole father (alcoholic paranoid schizophrenic) decided to teach me a lesson by putting a rope on my potty chair, hanging it on my neck in front of me, and told me to go back outside, walk around the house and be sure the neighbors saw me.

Of course I was in tears, humiliated and also stunned that my brother ratted me out.
He was ridden with guilt and never again ratted on me or any of my siblings. It was the first lesson I learned about my father: that he was mean, nuts and to avoid him as much as possible.

I never had a problem encouraging a parent to surrender their rights but most agencies have a quota of reunification, adoption and aging out to get their funds from the government.

Also when the child rejoins the family your benefits can increase - help with housing, food and cash assistance.

I want to beat this bitch's ass so fucking bad - no one made you take this child back

This bitch needs a beat down. She is begging for it. Of course, it never occurred to her to ask why a potty-trained four-year-old began to urinate on himself. Of course, she never looked inward to find out what part of the situation was her part. Of course, it never occurred to her that the abuse this very young child was receiving confused and frightened this boy to the point of losing control of his bladder. How did she become an adult without having the least little bit of intelligence??

Once again, CPS failed at their job. In any other profession, the people who fail at their jobs are fired. Some are prosecuted. But CPS is apparently untouchable. Once again, there is a dead child after they rehomed a child or after they failed to rehome a child. Have you noticed they never ever speak up, even on condition of anonymity?? Not one person from all 50 states' CPS/DSS has any suggestions for ways to fix their obviously broken system. None of them even point fingers at each other or accuse the higher ups for wrong doing. The reason for this is they do not care. They are not doing their jobs. They are not even trying.

I often write provocative things like this about CPS/DSS. Do you know nobody has ever challenged me? Not one person from CPS has responded with, "I have some insight as a social worker" or "I can tell you what this state needs to do to fix the system..." Even the people at the top rungs in CPS are not afraid of losing their jobs. Society needs to get mad about all of this.

LaPorte man pleaded guilty to murder Wednesday in the death of his 4-year-old son, who was found beaten to death on the floor of his home in October 2021.

As part of his plea agreement, Alan Morgan, 29, admitted he committed murder and battery.

In exchange, the prosecutor agreed to take “Life without Parole” off the table as a possible sentence. The prosecutor also dropped charges of neglect of a dependent and animal cruelty.

LaPorte County deputies first went to Morgan's home in rural Union Township at 2:45 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 11, following reports of an unconscious child in the home.

When deputies couldn't get in touch with anyone inside the home, they decided to enter it. Soon after, the deputies found 4-year-old Judah Morgan dead on the floor.

A review of court documents obtained by 13News from that morning paint a sobering picture of the conditions Judah's longtime foster mother, Jenna Hullett, suspected he faced inside the home for years.
Court documents show Alan Morgan and Mary Yoder, Judah's biological mother, had a kitchen fridge with a cord attached to a key-style lock, "so no one could open it," detectives said in an affidavit.

Filth, garbage and animal feces were found throughout the home.

More disturbing, though, was what police reportedly found in the basement.

It was cold, with no working lights. Torn-off bits of silver and camouflage duct tape were strewn about the cold room, and several pieces were taped to a wall.

In one corner, police found a small pair of training pants and an infant-style toilet.

Human waste rotted inside, not far from where a lone fluffy blanket was found, with small pieces of the same silver duct tape that was on the walls, attached.

When detectives later interviewed Yoder, she told them those were all techniques her husband would use to punish Judah for not being potty-trained.

A judge sentenced Allen Morgan, 29, to 70 years in prison Tuesday for the torture death of his 4-year-old son he was seen on video punching at least 28 times over two days over potty training.

The lead LaPorte County investigator in the case, Jacob Koch, described video footage from inside the family’s home that showed Morgan repeatedly abusing Judah Morgan in the days leading up the discovery of his dead body on Oct. 11, 2021.

The footage showed Morgan repeatedly punching his son, holding the boy up by his neck and dropping him on the floor and leaving him alone for hours in a cold, dark basement that had no furniture, Koch said. It showed Morgan punching the boy at least 13 times on Oct. 7 and at least 15 times the following day.

Forensic pathologist Dr. John Feczko testified an autopsy showed the boy suffered bleeding on the brain and trauma to his abdomen and back, Feczko said.

The coward did not make a comment or show any remorse.

A civil suit filed against a man convicted of murdering his 4-year-old son also accused the Indiana Department of Child Services of failing to protect the child in the months leading up to his death.

Last September, 29-year-old Alan Morgan was found guilty in the October 2021 torture and murder of his son, Judah Morgan. Morgan will serve 70 years in prison for beating his son to death and will serve at least 75% of that sentence.

Now, two months after that murder conviction, the estate of Judah is seeking additional damages against the man who killed him.

But the lawsuit also took aim at the Indiana Department of Child Services, and accused the organization of dropping Judah's case file even as he remained “an endangered child” and “ward of the state.”

"From his birth on June 17, 2017, until the year of his death, Judah was a 'child in need of services' or CHINS, a ward of non-party Indiana Department of Child Services, the state agency responsible for the safety and well-being of Hoosier children who come into contact with the state's child welfare system," the suit read.

It further outlined how, under Indiana law, DCS's responsibilities included providing child protection services and providing child abuse and neglect prevention services for children like Judah.

The suit also said Judah, at the time of his birth on June 17, 2017, tested positive for drugs. Six weeks prior, the suit said allegations of physical abuse and neglect of Judah's older sibling by Judah's parents were substantiated.

“Three days after Judah’s birth, he was placed in a kinship placement and not allowed to go home with his parents from the hospital,” the suit read.

However, in April 2021, DCS removed Judah from foster care and placed him, "for the first time in his life," in the home of his parents.

The civil suit also pointed out that in November, the LaPorte County prosecutor amended criminal charges against Mary Yoder, his biological mother, to allege that Judah was an endangered and neglected child "from the moment that Judah was placed by DCS in his parents' home".

Judah was found beaten to death on the floor of Alan Morgan and Mary Yoder's northern Indiana home, which was littered with animal feces and had a lock on the refrigerator, seven months after a court ordered he return there.

“Despite that fact that Judah was a neglected and endangered child, in June of 2021, DCS closed its case involving Judah," the suit said.

The suit stopped short of naming the Department of Child Services as an actual party.

“As a direct and proximate result of the reckless, careless, negligent, and wrongful acts and omissions of other persons and the intentional acts of Alan Morgan, Judah Morgan was beaten, tortured, and eventually murdered on October 11, 2021,” the suit said.

Suit should be against DCS, they’re the ones that are responsible for the child’s death. As usual they ignored the facts, refused to take reasonable action to insure the child’s safety and to be honest were totally incompetent. I’m sure no one will be fired or even reprimanded, just another dead child. Business as usual, everyone gets their yearly raise and praise for the ones they didn’t kill
