A former foster father was convicted by an Anchorage jury Wednesday on four counts of assault for strangling a 4-year-old child in his care.

A jury found 40-year-old Jason Madison guilty of first-, second-, third- and four-degree assault in Anchorage Superior Court for using a belt to strangle his foster child, who sustained injuries as a result, the Alaska Department of Law said in a statement. The strangulation happened in January 2018, according to the charges.

A teacher noticed wounds on the child’s neck and contacted authorities, the statement says.

The treating forensic nurse testified during trial that "the child potentially faced a substantial risk of death,” according to the statement.

Madison is being held without bail pending sentencing

Flog him with a belt until you hit bone.

They should interview any other children that were placed in the home to see if he abused them and if the foster partner (if there was one) knew about the abuse and did nothing to stop it.
