Sentenced: Mom Says Sorry For Being Shit, Skyler Fritz's Kicked 2yo With Steel Toe Boot

[Sugar Cookie]

Two adults are being held in the Licking County Justice Center as a 2-year-old girl fights for her life.

The girl's mother and the mother's boyfriend were arrested after the child was rushed to the hospital Tuesday.

The girl is reported to be in "very serious condition" and may not survive her injuries, Assistant Licking County Prosecutor Hawken Flanagan said.

Court documents filed Wednesday said the girl has been given "a 50/50 chance to survive."

Tiffany L. Denlinger, 29, and Skyler J. Fritz, 25, were arrested after the extent of the child's injuries was determined.

The alleged abuse leading to the girl's hospitalization was reportedly going on for about a month and included the child being kicked with steel-toed boots and having her head slammed into a railing.

Medics were initially called to the home on Mulberry Street shortly before 9:15 a.m. Tuesday on a report of an unconscious child.

The 911 call, which was placed by Fritz, said the child was breathing but was not responsive.

Fritz told the dispatcher his "daughter" had been in her bed and was on the floor when he came back from a trip to the bathroom. The dispatcher was told the child had been feeling sick for several days and had a history of respiratory infections.

"She's a clutz, she falls all the time," Fritz said when the dispatcher asked if she may have fallen out of bed.

Fritz, who is not the biological father of the child, disconnected from the call when paramedics arrived at the home. The child was taken to Nationwide Children's Hospital, where doctors determined she had suffered severe head trauma that was not inflicted through an accident, according to court records.

Pataskala Police interviewed Fritz, who was reported to have been left in charge of the child, and he initially denied harming her.

Fritz "later admitted to picking up the victim, shaking her, throwing her, smacking her, kicking her with steel-toed boots, biting her, pulling her hair out and smashing her head into a railing," according to court records filed Wednesday.

The alleged abuse had been going on for about a month, according to court records.

Denlinger, the child's mother, reportedly admitted to witnessing some of the abuse occurring.

Other court documents reveal Fritz reportedly admitted to throwing the child on Tuesday, with her hitting a bed rail.

Three other children, both older and younger, were removed from the home on Tuesday. Denlinger is the mother of all of the children.

According to documents filed in the custody cases, at least one other child told police they were "hit with a paddle and belt by both Mother and Skyler."

That child, a 7-year-old, was found to have a bruise in the shape of a hand on its bottom during a medical exam.

The custody documents said Denlinger receives social security but has no other income and the condition of the home was poor.

Denlinger has been charged with complicity to felonious assault, a second-degree felony; and Fritz was charged with felonious assault, a second-degree felony; in Licking County Common Pleas Court Wednesday.

Both appeared for bond hearings before Magistrate Mattie Klein Wednesday afternoon and requested to be released.

Klein ordered Denlinger's bond set at $250,000 and ordered her to have no contact with the children or Fritz.

Klein ordered Fritz be held on a $1 million bond and ordered the same conditions. Both were also ordered to undergo mental health evaluations.

After his bond was set, Fritz asked why his bond was so high.

"Why is it $1 million?" he asked. "It's only felonious assault."

As workers from the Licking County Prosecutor's Office and Licking County Children Services who were in attendance wiped tears from their eyes, Fritz continued to be confused.

"One million dollars seems a little high. It seems more for like a murder charge," he said.

Flanagan said there is a "very realistic" chance the charges will be elevated, depending on the child's condition.

More charges are likely to be filed when a grand jury reviews the case in the coming weeks for possible indictment.

I would take enormous pleasure in pinning him to a wall with a tire iron shoved through his left eye.
She looks like an ugly 12 year old going on 48.

"Why is it $1 million?" he asked. "It's only felonious assault."

He just don't get it does he? He's most likely killed a 2yo and he's acting like all he did was knock down an adult. Somebody needs to educate him, hopefully with a nail studded 2 X 4.

"She's a clutz, she falls all the time," "I knock her down all the time'." Fritz said when the dispatcher asked if she may have fallen.

I fixed it.

.... Fritz "later admitted to picking up the victim, shaking her, throwing her, smacking her, kicking her with steel-toed boots, biting her, pulling her hair out and smashing her head into a railing," ...

Fritz asked why his bond was so high.

"Why is it $1 million?" he asked. "It's only felonious assault." ...

Because, turdbasket,

...

The most severe assault charge is felonious assault. Felonious assault may be charged as either a first- or second-degree felony, depending on the circumstances. This crime may be punished by up to eight years in prison and fines of up to $20,000. Felonious assault means either knowingly causing serious physical harm to another, or using a deadly weapon to knowingly causing physical harm to another.

Tiffany Denlinger stood before Judge David Branstool Thursday morning and said she was sorry her children were abused at the hands of her boyfriend, Skyler Fritz.

It's an apology her 2-year-old daughter may not ever be able to process because of the severe brain injuries she suffered. Those injuries left Stephanie Denlinger in a medically induced coma from Dec. 19 until February. She was released from the hospital in the last few weeks.

Denlinger, 29, entered guilty pleas to counts of endangering children and complicity to endangering children before Branstool.

Doctors examined Stephanie and determined she had multiple, severe injuries that were caused by physical abuse.

Sawyers said Denlinger admitted to detectives she had seen Fritz hit her children and had been told by Stephanie and other children in the home Fritz had hit them and hurt them in other ways, including "hip-checking" them into walls and throwing Stephanie on a bed.

At the time she was taken to Nationwide Children's Hospital on Dec. 19, it was not known if Stephanie would survive her injuries.

Sawyers said earlier this month that Stephanie is out of the hospital and recovering, but the extent of the damage done will not be known until she begins to develop and grow.

Sawyers said it is not known if Stephanie will be able to learn when she reaches school age or if she will ever be able to walk on her own.

"Part of her brain was twisted and turned from where it should be," Sawyers said.

Despite family members encouraging Denlinger to leave Fritz and get help for her children, Sawyers said Denlinger's priority was not that of a mother.

"She chose to continue the relationship over the security and safety of her children," Sawyers said.

Denlinger's attorney, Kort Gatterdam, said Denlinger herself was being abused by Fritz and while she didn't initially report the abuse to police when they first interviewed her, that doesn't mean the abuse didn't happen.

"Not all women report abuse right away," he said. "It doesn't mean it didn't happen."

Gatterdam said while the injuries Stephanie suffered were severe, his client never physically abused her child.

"She acknowledged she should have done more," he said.

Branstool ordered Denlinger to serve four years in prison. She faced a maximum sentence of eight years.

Sawyers said prosecutors will consider an application for early release from Denlinger, depending on what services and programming she takes advantage of during her time at the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville.

Jesus christ....

Fritz "later admitted to picking up the victim, shaking her, throwing her, smacking her, kicking her with steel-toed boots, biting her, pulling her hair out and smashing her head into a railing," according to court records filed Wednesday.

Jesus fucking christ....

"Part of her brain was twisted and turned from where it should be," Sawyers said

 

[Sjalawine]

So she gets 4 years instead of 8 because why?
She acknowledged that she should have done more. It sounds like she didn't do anything. I don't see a program changing her from the piece of shit she is into a human being.

 

[Ripley]

It might have been better if they had let her die.

I really hope dickbag couldn’t come up with that $1 million. Typical pychopath reasoning.

Wait, that's a woman in the two pics ?

Skyler Fritz, 25, had been found guilty in June of two counts of endangering children and one count of felonious assault. He was sentenced to seven years in prison Tuesday told a judge he loved the toddler he was found guilty of beating

Fritz was found guilty of assaulting and causing severe injuries to 2-year-old Stephanie Denlinger at a Pataskala-area home. The injuries were discovered when paramedics were called to the home after Stephanie was determined to be unresponsive.

Court records indicate Stephanie Denlinger suffered numerous injuries, including a traumatic head injury, bruising to various areas of her body and other injuries that left her in a medically induced coma until February.

During the June hearing, the attorneys on the case had jointly recommended a six-year prison sentence to Branstool. However, Branstool wanted additional information and delayed sentencing until Tuesday’s hearing.

Fritz’s attorney, Diane Menashe, said she had made Fritz aware of conversations between Assistant Licking County Prosecutor Nate Hurst, Branstool and herself regarding Branstool’s inclination to disregard the recommendation.

Menashe also said Fritz was aware he would likely have faced more prison time if he had decided to go to a trial.

The plea agreement Fritz had agreed to included a condition that all three charges against him merge for sentencing, limiting his potential maximum sentence to eight years.

Fritz told Branstool he was guilty and that he had thrown the child onto a bed in the home out of anger.

“I am guilty of what I am guilty of,” Fritz said. “I love that little girl and I’m sorry.”

Fritz denied a pattern of beating the child.

“It eats me up every day,” he said. “I am deeply sorry for what happened.”

Hurst said Stephanie is continuing to improve, but the full extent of her injuries and their impact won’t be known until she is closer to being school-age. He said Stephanie is able to stand on her own for 10 to 15 seconds at a time, but she may never walk as one of her legs remains non-mobile.

Branstool disregarded the recommendation for the six-year prison sentence and imposed a term of seven years. He said the evidence which likely would have been presented at trial could have made additional time in prison likely.

Fritz was given 179 days of credit toward his sentence and could be eligible for early release after serving more than four years.
