You can physically and sexually abuse a child in AZ and get off with NO bond!
http://www.kpho.com/news/22350799/detail.htmlA 2-year-old boy was found locked in a closet in a Mesa apartment Monday night, according to Maricopa County Constable Fred Arnett.
His mother, Corrina May Davis, 21, is charged with two counts of child abuse.
Arnett said he discovered the boy while serving an eviction notice at Del Coronado Apartments on South Longmore Street.
"I found the child laying there, basically in the fetal position," Arnett said. "It appeared that this (the closet) was this child's actual living quarters."
"The problem that I had was there was no visible water of any kind, there was no food. There was nothing this child could do to even sustain life," he said.
Court documents obtained by CBS 5 say the child appeared to have suffered physical and sexual abuse.
The probable cause statement says the boy had "bruising of different colors on both sides of his face, a chipped tooth, a cut and a bruised lip, bruising to his ears, bruising to his hip" and blood coming from his genitals.
Arnett said he was most disturbed by the child's response to him.
"Any 2- or 3-year-old at least cries," said the father of two young girls. "This child wouldn't even cry. This child wouldn't laugh or smile to anything we would do. In any of our attempts to get a reaction out of this child, there was nothing."
"He was so floppy and lifeless. It's like he had given up. There was no fight in this child," said Arnett.
In court records, Davis admitted to locking her son in the closet and leaving him alone while she went to work.
Davis denied abusing her son.
She told police he is "clumsy" and "walks into walls."
The boy is in CPS custody.
Arnett said he is grateful he discovered the child when he did.
"I can at least sleep better at night knowing he has to be in a better condition than he was last night," he said.
