Couple charged after badly beaten boy found hiding in washing machine

Taylor Ainsworth, 23, and Cody Wayne Hudson, 28, of Midwest City, are each charged with one count of child abuse by injury, Oklahoma County Jail records show. They are each being held in lieu of $10,000 bond.

KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City reported that Midwest City police officers went to the couple’s home Monday after Ainsworth’s sister called the department and said her sister -- who is six months pregnant -- had admitted to their mother that she’d beaten her boyfriend’s son. Court documents obtained by the news station said the sister told investigators she’d visited the house Sunday and that the 9-year-old boy was “covered in bruises.”

A second search of the house turned up the boy, “in the washing machine, covered by a blanket,” the court documents said. Investigators said the boy was forced to hide by his father and Ainsworth when the police showed up.

I sure am glad the police turned around and went right back to that house after the initial check. If they hadn't, this poor little boy would probably have been dead by the next time they got a call.

No words no words. Thank God he is safe now.

Thank g-d the sister did the right thing. She most likely saved that child's life. I'd like to post more, but our of respect for TOS, I will leave it at that.

I don't care what the boy did that angered her....a child NEVER deserves a beating. When will people learn to stop hitting children and animals? Beatings do not make either children or animals behave; they just make them broken and unloved. I am outraged. Take the baby when it is born too. Neither of these two should be blessed with a child.

So glad this one has a good ending instead of a "a week before his death police went to the house but couldn't find the boy" type of ending. Yay!

That washer was on a lucky cycle, praise the Lord!

I am so thankful that the sister contacted the police about this.

If only people would pick up the phone more often, I wonder how many children's lives would be changed - or saved.

Sad thought but there is always hope.

Dear MsFacetious,

Your words are so true and compassionate.

Because of the courage of that sister contacting the authorities, this boy is alive.

Thankfully, as you say, a good ending.

Thank goodness these two lost custody of their 5 children. And the birth mother had her own set of problems.
