A woman accused of severely beating her 4-year-old son was arrested this week in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania State Police said.

Ashlyn McCartney’s little boy was admitted to the pediatric ICU at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Lehigh County with severe injuries troopers said were believed to be life threatening.

The boy was dropped off at Children and Youth services on Monday with his eyes swollen shut and bruises all over his head and body, according to the Times News in Lehighton. Doctors discovered the boy has bleeding on his brain, the paper reports.

Troopers opened up a suspected child abuse case on Tuesday, and said they learned McCartney had abused the boy in a home they were staying at in Towamensing Township, Carbon County.

Put this bitch down now before she gets him back and kills him next time. Waiting for that update cause it will happen....
 
According to a criminal complaint filed by Lehighton State trooper Leo Petrucci, he was given the case on Nov. 27 by the Carbon County district attorney’s office.

The child’s injuries were inflicted at the home of Matthew D. Muchmore. Muchmore told troopers McCartney and her little boy had stayed with him for about a week before Thanksgiving.

On the evening of Nov. 21, the boy was in the bathroom with McCartney with the door closed.

Muchmore told troopers he heard loud banging on the floor. The little boy was crying as McCartney was angrily yelling at him. The child came out of the bathroom, bleeding from a cut on his head.

Muchmore said that on the afternoon of Nov. 23, he came home from his mother’s house next door to find his wooden paddle, broken into pieces. The boy had “done something wrong,” McCartney told him, and she broke the paddle as she hit him with it.

The boy was sleeping when Muchmore arrived home, he told troopers. That evening, the child came out of the bedroom, walking through the kitchen to the dining room.

Muchmore told the troopers the child was severely injured. His eyes were swollen shut, and his face was red and bruised.

A friend of Muchmore and McCartney took the little boy, dropping him off at the Children and Youth offices two days later.

On Nov. 28, McCartney told troopers the child wouldn’t sit in the tub while she tried to give him a bath. She said she pulled on his arms, and he fell, hitting his head on the side of the tub. McCartney told troopers this happened three or four times.

She told the troopers the child “hates her, and refuses to listen to her, resulting in hurt feelings and frustration.”

She said she used the paddle to discipline the boy.

I don't think so ... I think if he was evil as you want him to be then he would have offered to baby sit all the time.
 
A Carbon County woman who previously admitted assaulting her young son, causing serious injuries to him, was sentenced to a state prison term.

Ashlyn Erin McCartney, 26, was sentenced by President Judge Roger N. Nanovic II to serve one to three years in a state correctional institution on a charge of aggravated assault, a felony 2.

She entered a plea to the charge after the district attorney’s office agreed to drop a felony 1 aggravated assault count, felony 3 endangering the welfare of a child and misdemeanor 2 simple assault.

Troopers said the boy, 4 at the time, suffered serious injuries inflicted by his mother including a brain bleed, bruises, contusions, eye injury, head injury and facial injuries.

McCartney admitted striking the child with a paddle so hard she broke the paddle. That happened when she was attempting to give him a bath and he was crying, she said.

The child was taken to the Lehigh Valley Hospital, Cedar Crest, for treatment and admitted to intensive care. At the time of his admission, an attending physician said the injuries were “life threatening.” He has since recovered and is in the custody of his father.

Nanovic asked McCartney how could she inflict such injuries on her son and for what reason. McCartney, who appeared for the sentencing proceeding via video from the county prison where she had been held since her arrest, only bowed her head and offered no explanation.

McCartney admitted to a drug addiction problem she said she has been struggling with for the last 12 years.

Her court-appointed attorney, Joseph V. Sebelin Jr., said that his client has participated and successfully completed at least four programs offered at the prison to help with her addiction and mental health issues, including a parenting class.

He said he did not offer her drug addiction as an excuse for what occurred, he said there was no excuse for her actions, but to give the court some insight to her problems.

McCartney told the court, “I just want to get my life back.”

She was given credit for 636 days already served in prison on the charges.

She will now be transferred to a state prison where the state department of collections will determine when she is paroled.
