Mom Says Husband Made Her Abuse Kids
LatestA mom has been convicted of second-degree child abuse for helping her husband hurt her kids. Should she have been acquitted because she was abused too?
The details of Deborah Warren‘s case are pretty disturbing. According to Lansing Noise, her husband, Michael Warren, abused her teenage son by hitting and kicking him, keeping him awake for days, and slamming his head in a doorframe. He also forced her six-year-old daughter “to stand and hold milk jugs filled with water in each hand. Plastic strapping was attached to the jugs and wrapped around her neck. If she lowered the jugs, the plastic would choke her.” Deborah Warren helped her husband by suggesting they wrap towels around the child’s neck so the abuse wouldn’t leave marks. She also admitted to punching her two-year-old in the face — the offense for which she was ultimately convicted.
