[Sugar Cookie]

A child was airlifted to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill for medical treatment due to ongoing seizures after being with a belt for urinating on the floor.

The victim suffered a severe head injury, hematoma to the forehead, bruising and swelling to the inside and left side of the left ear, bruising on the left shoulder and shoulder blade, a rib fracture, and pattern-shaped marks to the abdomen and legs, according to the release.

The child was entrusted to 24-year-old Simon Truitt II, of Hope Mills.

Truitt, who is not related to the child, was charged with child abuse inflicting serious bodily injuries and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

I'm glad the scum was charged, but "deadly weapon" seems absurd.

 

[Totemic]

Damn... A belt is a "deadly weapon" now?

Then my father's oak paddle must have been a WMD.

 

[Granmaw]

Depends on how you wield the weapon. A belt across the butt to create a sting...not a deadly weapon. A belt upside the head, swung hard enough to require child being airlifted to hospital...deadly weapon.

I'm glad the scum was charged, but "deadly weapon" seems absurd.

If it causes serious injury anything is a deadly weapon. For example, children are more vulnerable to renal failure from a severe beating when too many damaged blood cells go through the kidneys. There is at least one thread on DD where a girl died that way.

Someone needs to use a belt on him so he can discover the wonderful world of cock & ball torture.

Right? My stepdad had one, shaped like a frat board, it was lacquered and had air holes drilled into it...

 

[Muriel Schwenck]

I bet the reason the child urinated on the floor was directly due to terror of being beaten by this POS.

 

[Sejanus]

Inject air into his veins.
Then beat him with a pillowcase full of trucker belt buckles.

The mother of a child who received a severe head injury at the hands of his caregiver has been arrested in connection with the abuse, Cumberland County Sheriff Ennis Wright said.

Shawntae Mckethan was arrested and charged with child abuse inflicting serious injury and accessory after the fact, officials said.

Mckethan’s arrest comes after Simon Truitt II was taken into custody last week for abusing the child for urinating the floor, Wright said.

Wright said Mckethan and Truitt spoke over the phone and communicated through Facebook on Aug. 12. The two spoke about the boy wetting himself.

Truitt sent Mckethan a video of the child having a seizure on a bathroom floor.

Mckethan told Truitt to wait until she got home to help the child.

Mckethan received the video at 4:35 p.m. and she didn’t return home until 7 p.m., Wright said.

Her child was having a seizure on the bathroom floor, and she thought waiting 2.5 hours to come home and help him was reasonable?!?

 

[Sevens My Charm]
