Jones and Parsons
repeatedly punched and kicked Devin.
They
rammed his head into a TV stand.
They
beat him with a belt.
They
hit him with a metal tray.
They
dunked him in a bathtub and held his head under running water.
It is not clear precisely when the beating began, but
an acquaintance of the couple riding a bike past the home between 9:30 and 10 p.m. told police later that he heard Jones yelling.
The man stopped to find out what was the matter.
The little *advertiser censored*, Jones told his friend, had taken his drugs.
The man said Jones was going off on Devin.
Ill kill that little f, Jones huffed, if I dont get my s.
The man didnt intervene.
He didnt call 911.
He hopped back on his bicycle and pedaled off into the night.
And the assault on Devin resumed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
They found Devins body in a bedroom.
Blood spattered the walls of several rooms.
A framed photo of Devin was on the floor, the glass broken.
Jones was gone, but Parsons had remained
the clothes she was wearing spattered with her sons blood.

The killing of Devin generated one final report to DCS at least the 19th over the span of Devins short life.
This time, agency workers intervened. His younger brother and sister were placed in a foster home.
At that point, though, DCS had no other choice. The agency couldnt send the kids back to Parsons.
She was in jail charged with killing her son.
