Sentenced: Denton Woman Killed 3YO Grandson By Throwing Him Against A Wall

A 57-year-old woman who told authorities that she threw her 3-year-old grandson into a bathroom floor and wall has been arrested in the death of the child, Denton police said Monday.

The boy died Saturday after fighting to stay alive at a local hospital.

Denton police arrested Angela Downing and accused her of murder.

Last week, the grandmother reported to medical staff that the child had fallen down a flight of stairs accidentally, causing injury.

But on Jan. 18, Denton police were notified by officials with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services of a severely injured child being treated at a local hospital.

Following a thorough investigation, interviews with the child’s doctors, and a confession by Downing, detectives determined the child’s injuries were not accidental, police said in a news release.

During an interview with detectives, Downing, who was the child’s legal guardian, admitted to forcefully throwing the child onto the bathroom floor and against a wall, police said.

Denton police did not provide any information on why the grandmother said she did it or what took place before the abuse.

The child suffered a skull fracture, a brain bleed and brain swelling, police said.

The boy was identified as Neshon Randolph Downing Jr., according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office website on Monday.

FYI,

Some states are going to increase the payments for kinship placement.

Enticing people with money who have no business caring for an already abused or neglected child is just going to make situations like this happen more often then we already see here at the Den.

Grandma was in a custody battle with her son - the kids were in his custody she told a neighbor her son wanted the kids to get housing - and his mama was doing the same.

The neighbor starts speaking at 17:50
