I wonder if the mom selected a color of nail polish that matches her jailhouse outfit.

Clayton Co. man had warrants for previously beating child, court documents show

A 6-year-old boy is in critical condition after his mother’s boyfriend allegedly beat him and he was refused care for days.

www.atlantanewsfirst.com

this article has this:

Ates and Wells are due back in court on June 26.

So I will put them both on 6/26. The court site for Wells has not been updated with any new court dates.

 

[GRT]

It's hard to believe this child was allowed to remain in that abusive home. That's a crime in itself.

Court documents also revealed Ates had warrants out of Forest Park for a January 2023 incident where he is said to have thrown the boy against a vanity, bruising the child’s kidney, and causing other severe injuries. However, he was never arrested. Atlanta News First reached out to the Forest Police Department, asking why Ates was never arrested but did not receive a response.

The most severe beating allegedly happened on Sunday when Ates accused the boy of stealing $80 and giving it to the 36-year-old’s roommate.

Why not be upset with the 36 year old adult roommate who accepted $80....from a 6 year old. The stupidity and cruelness of people somehow still surprises me.

Because the roommate was big enough to fight back

I want to know how it is that Ales was never arrested or charged for the January incident in which he injured this same child??? What on earth is going on over at the Forest Park Police Department??

 

[AzPistonsGirl]

and why was he granted bond this time around? WHAT THE WHAT? craziness

 

[tlcya]

and why was he granted bond this time around? WHAT THE WHAT? craziness

exactly, just because he's not currently a danger to the hospitalized child in grave condition doesn't mean he isn't a threat to any other children who happen to end up in his sphere.

 

[Niner]

Hey!

and why was he granted bond this time around? WHAT THE WHAT? craziness

exactly, just because he's not currently a danger to the hospitalized child in grave condition doesn't mean he isn't a threat to any other children who happen to end up in his sphere.

I am going thru Ates court stuff - and MOST of the charges are bond DENIED!! Putting it together now - so give me a few as he has a TON of charges!!
So - no worries that he will be out!

BRB

Oh - hearing for him is NOT Mon. 6/26 - court site show 7/3.

ETA! Oops - my mistake - he does have a hearing on 6/26 for his January charges - not this case.

You all want me to keep up with those?

 

[Niner]

Ates - These are ONLY his charges for the little boy. Let me know IF you want the January charges - hearing on Monday.

*I hate this guy. Punching him like a grown man. Prob with his fists. Ugh! I hate him. Oh, poor little baby, only six years old.

Bbm.
My .02 is that this child should not be returned to his mother, either !
In fact, maybe adopted out to a good, loving and responsible family ?

How do we know that this sorry excuse for a mother will make better choices next time ?
Imo.

 

[bombardier]

Another case where a mother puts her dead-beat boyfriend over her children. I will never, ever understand how these people lack any loyalty towards the children they literally carried and raised

[ChatteringBirds]

She went to work and to get her nails done while her little 6-year-old suffered more abuse?? I hope they charge both of them with every crime possible.

Since the abuse went on for so long, did their roommate or neighbors see/hear anything?
