Prosecutors said that the the young mother, Jillian, her 25-year-old boyfriend, Gary, and his wife, Amber, were all facing charges after the disturbing and teriible thing they did to the woman’s child. The boy’s brother reportedly told investigators exactly what happened. Unfortunately, once you hear what they did to the child over the course of three days, the death penalty is too kind. The little boy, Scotty, was just 3 years old when he met a tragic end at the hands of his own mother and her 25-year-old boyfriend, all while Gary’s wife watched. After the child suffered days of t0rture before passing away, the three adults involved, who all lived together in a trailer park, were arrested for their part in the child’s death.
Prosecutors said that the 3-year-old boy was dead, and his little corpse was littered with bruises, lacerations, and puncture wounds. The mother and her boyfriend then confessed to brutally t0rturing the boy, beating him with homemade weapons such as a whip, a curtain rod, and an aluminum strip.” According to the County District Attorney Hogan, the couple reportedly tied the boy to a chair with electric tape and also strung him up by his heels, where they continued to assault him until he was – as sad as it is to say – graced with death. Disturbingly, this inhumane treatment of a child all started when little Scotty didn’t want to eat his breakfast. After having beaten him into an unresponsive state and then put him on an uninflated air mattress, the mother and her boyfriend went car shopping, bought pizza and engaged in se-ual activity as he lay dying, according to reports.
Over a three day period, the little boy was systematically t0rtured and beaten to death. He was punched in the face and in the stomach. He was scourged with a homemade whip. He was lashed with a metal rod. He was tied to a chair and beaten. He was tied upside down by his feet and beaten. His head was smashed through a wall, DA Hogan reportedly said. Sadly, the victim’s 6-year-old brother, who now lives with his adoptive parents, not only suffered the abuse along with Scotty, but he also witnessed his little brother’s death. “Dear Mom,” he wrote in a letter that was read in court at his mother’s sentencing. “You, Gary, and Amber were trapped in a house of torture. The torture was you guys. The victims were me and Scotty. Scotty got killed. I got beaten.”
“You are the worst mother I’ve ever known,” the boy continued in the letter which was read aloud as the mother stood listening, weeping in the courtroom. “You just watched us get hurt. I wish you never met Gary. He is really evil. He nearly killed me. You are the reason Scotty got killed,” the toddler’s brave brother added. “I thought parents were supposed to protect us. Now you are in jail for your time out.”Although the prosecutors were seeking the death penalty, as punishment for watching her boyfriend beat her young sons regularly and torture them for petty misdoings, helping him at times and never raising a hand to stop the abuse, the mother was sentenced to 42 to 94 years in a state prison instead. Amber was sentenced to a state prison term of 6½ to 16 years after pleading guilty to two counts each of endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering another person. The mother never did testify against her boyfriend. Rather than going to trial, he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison plus 10 to 20 years.
