Sentenced: Ohio Parents Hog-Tied Child, Left Him Bound For Nearly 10 Hours

[Sugar Cookie]

Two parents in Ohio are facing child abuse charges after police say they tied up their child and left him bound for nearly 10 hours.

Court documents show the victim’s mother and stepfather, Tabetha Sosnowicz, 38, and Jason Sosnowicz Sr., 42, are facing felony charges of endangering children – administering corporal punishment.

According to the affidavit, law enforcement officials responded to the Baymont Hotel on July 22 for a check safety call.

Officials found a 12-year-old boy hog-tied in one of the hotel rooms where the family had been living. The affidavit said the boy “had his wrists tied behind his back with white shoestrings, and his wrists were tied to his ankles” on the hotel room floor beside the bed.

The documents said the stepfather was in the room with the child when police arrived and told officers the boy was tied up because he “gets into things.” When the mother returned to their hotel room, she told police she knew the boy was tied up.

Officers said both parents told them they “normally” tie the boy up “to keep him from accessing candy while they are asleep,” according to the affidavit.

Court documents said there were other children in the hotel room; a 6-year-old and a 14-year-old. Those children were not tied up.

Singled out, I'd bet. The only things missing are drugs, dogs, and shit.

Well it IS a hotel, so they probably hadn't had time to turn it into a hovel....

They tied him up at night to keep him out of candy? Why not just don't have candy in the rooms? Wouldn't that make more sense?

Of course not, because they're probably junkies and craving the sugar and they'd rather hog tie a kid on the dirty ass floor than just not have shit around that they want him to stay out of.

Tabetha Sosnowicz was sentenced to a total of nine years in prison on multiple Endangering Children charges in separate cases in a Wood County courtroom on Monday.

Sosnowicz was charged after police say she and her husband, Jason Sosnowicz, tied up a 12-year-old boy at the Baymont hotel in Northwood where they had been living in July. The affidavit said the boy “had his wrists tied behind his back with white shoe strings, and his wrists were tied to his ankles” on the hotel room floor beside the bed. Police said the boy was bound for approximately 9.5 hours.

Court documents say the Jason Sosnowicz, the victim’s step-father, was in the room with the child when police arrived and told officers the boy was tied up because he “gets into things.” When the mother returned to their hotel room, she told police she knew the boy was tied up. Both Tabetha and Jason Sosnowicz allegedly told officers they “normally” tie the boy up “to keep him from accessing candy while they are asleep,” according to the affidavit.
