A Cape Coral foster father of seven was arrested for child abuse last Friday.

Randell Stevens, 44, was charged with cruelty toward a child.

According to his warrant, the abuse happened sometime between Feb. 1 and Feb. 6, 2019.

On Feb. 11, a teacher at Skyline Elementary told the School Resource Officer that a 9-year-old boy at the school had a large bruise on his right thigh.

The boy, a foster child of Randell and his wife Delis, said his dad had hit him six times with a belt. The boy didn't go to school on Feb. 7 or Feb. 8.

He also said he was beaten in his bedroom for bringing home a pair of scissors from school, according to the warrant.

He told his teacher that his dad also hits his brothers with a belt and said: "sometimes everyone gets spankings."

The SRO eventually called the Florida Department of Children and Families.

The 9-year-old told DCF that sometimes he and his siblings didn't get to eat if they got in trouble.

When police and DCF visited the home and smelled animal urine. The kids' bedrooms also didn't have electricity, their ceiling fans were broken and there were several holes in walls and doors.

Kids told investigators they had to have cold showers if they wet the bed, and the boys were sometimes locked in cages by Delis and Randall Stevens.

The kids were also sometimes locked in their room in groups for up to 24 hours until they defecated on the floor and had to scoop it up with their hands and toss it out the window to not get in trouble.

Delis Stevens would tell the boys that it was okay for them to be hit because the Bible said that's what they're supposed to do. She also threatened to cut off the boys private parts if they misbehaved, and she would scream in their ears and bite them when they misbehaved.

All of the kids were taken away and put with other foster families.

I’m so fucking tired of the biting...I think every single one of these twisted biting bastards needs to have enhanced punishment at sentencing. Instead of caning-maybe a 30 minute mauling by a trained K-9...or have a dentist pull their teeth with no anesthesia and a rusty pair of needle nose pliers
 
OK read, re-read Paper work screwed up , so wife is still free, because of an error -How long does it take to fix an error? ( Has the news, ever hear LOOSE LIPS, SINK SHIPS ) now, am sure she gonna run. Ya know, more of this poo i read the better lynch mobs, sound better & better. it would sure save a whole lot of money for FL.

A Cape Coral foster parent was sentenced to five years of state probation after pleading guilty to child neglect on Monday.

Delis Stevens was arrested in October 2019 after reports surfaced of her abusing at least seven foster children in her care.

Reports said Stevens and her husband, Randell, hit the children and even bit them when they would misbehave.

Stevens took a plea deal in court on Monday.

The judge decided to withhold adjudication in Stevens' case, meaning once she completes her probationary period, her charges will be dropped from the court's records.

Meanwhile, Randell, who was facing identical charges, admitted to child abuse.

In a plea agreement, he was sentenced to 60 months of probation and is prohibited from ever being a foster parent again.

He's also not allowed unsupervised visits with children other than his own.

How will they be able to support themselves now that their money train has been prohibited by the court?
No more foster kids means they might have to get a REAL job.
 
Foster children are already suffering from difficult circumstances when they are put into foster care. Foster parents who add to that vulnerability with inadequate care and abuse are despicable.
But it can also be very profitable. Not many people are willing to foster, and a distinct percentage are going for the money. Social services have neither the money or staff to do much more than cross their fingers and hope for the best.
