Sentenced: Amber Rae McElravy Seen On Video Hitting Small Child With Belt Multiple Times

[Sugar Cookie]

Amber Rae McElravy, 27, is being held without bond on a third-degree felony charge of child endangering.

Evidence in the case, according to a Trumbull County sheriff’s report, came from a witness who called from Girard at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday saying she sent authorities a video of a child 3 to 4 years old being hit many times — including being struck with a belt and also being thrown around the room. The report states the family at the address in the 5200 block of Scott Street has been reported several times previously on abuse allegations.

A report stated the alleged young victim has been sent through Trumbull County Children Services for emergency foster care. A report showed the child had no visible injuries but the abuse had been going on over a month’s time.

Other children in the house were sent to stay with a paternal grandmother, while children services officials appeared at the Newton Township house about 4:44 p.m. to secure the victim.

Hell yeah! I'm guessing someone will catch up with her and 'take their time' in reporting her whereabouts...

Hmmm... that sounds a lot more dark than intended.

I managed to raise 3 kids starting at 18, and not one ever had a black eye. And now 9 grands, oldest 19, and not one black eye.
She is disgusting and should never be around kids let alone raise any.

I truly hate anyone who can be cruel to and/or harm a child. Can't wrap my head around it.

A Newton Falls woman who pleaded guilty, after a viral social media video alleged she abused a 5-year-old boy, was sentenced to 12 months in the Trumbull County jail.

Amber Rae McElravy, 27, pleaded guilty to the amended indictment of four counts of third-degree felony child endangering charges. She was not the biological mother of the child, but he was under her care at the time of the incident.

Before Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Andrew D. Logan handed down sentencing, McElravy asked to address the courtroom.

“I would like to apologize and take full responsibility for my actions,” she said. “If I could, I would go back and change what happened.”

Her defense attorney, Roger R. Bauer, hoped to have his client get probation. He said she has since separated from her husband, Kyle McElravy, who was also arrested on charges of child endangering along with domestic violence after the video surfaced, allegedly showing him abusing the same child.

The two have since filed for a divorce, court records show.

Evidence in the case, according to a Trumbull County sheriff’s report, came from a witness who called saying she sent authorities a video of a child 3 to 4 years old being hit many times ä including being struck with a belt and also being thrown around the room. The report states the family had been reported several times previously on abuse allegations.

A report stated the boy has been sent through Trumbull County Children Services for emergency foster care. A report showed the child had no visible injuries but the abuse had been going on over a months time.
