Seattle mom arrested for murder after fatal beating of teen son over chores​



The 29-year-old woman called 911 around 2:15 p.m. Thursday from the family's home and reported her 14-year-old son went unresponsive while she was disciplining him.

"[Mother] stated she was spanking him with an extension cord, and it went too far," a Seattle police officer wrote in a report.

Judge Klinge sided with prosecutors who asked for a bail of $3 million. KOMO News is not naming the woman yet because she hasn't been charged. Prosecutors indicated in court they expect that to happen by Tuesday.
 

Docs: Boy allegedly killed by his mother in Seattle suffered over 1,000 injuries before his heart stopped​



In an interview with police, Young said she "got fed up with talking" to her son about the chores and she "went too far."

Three young children and another adult were present in the home for the duration of the abuse.

Young is being held on $3 million bail. Her next court date is expected to be Feb. 13.

:(
 
This one took my breath away.
It is a shame that the mother had to start as a mom at 15 y/o. Did she have any help? Was there a dad at one time? Any other source of help? Did mom have help from family/home/county services?
Was the other adult there able to do anything? Make a phone call? Go to a neighbor's home?

Nobody wins this one.

What in the heck was the adult present doing during the beating and killing?
 
From the first article she told him to strip naked then beat him with an extension cord for AN HOUR.
The woman has serious issues, and should be jailed for a very long time. The other adult in the house should be arrested for not stopping it.
Jmo, moo

What? There were idol witnesses.

From the article posted by @cocomod
when asked by police why he didn't intervene, he said, "I don't want to jump in, and then I'm getting jumped on, you feel? I'm not even trying to have that type of day."
The man said that when "these situations" happen, his "best bet is to mind [his] business."

“Spanking” and viciously beating are two different things. An open-handed swat on the bottom (meaning the fleshy buttocks) of a child to keep him from darting out into the road, etc. is entirely different than “beating”, both in severity and in kind. One is done out of love to keep a child who isn’t yet able to reason safe (never in anger). The other is cruelty. The opposite of love.

I know why she used the term “spanking”. She was making a veiled attempt to conflate the two. There is a world of difference between the two concepts, and they are mutually exclusive.

Also, hitting out in a fit of anger lasts seconds. It’s one lash, or one slap, or one cruel word. She is a barbaric monster, and I wish she lived in a state other than Washington.

MOO.
 
According to the King County Medical Examiner, the boy suffered at least 1,172 separate injuries during the abuse, which lasted over three hours.

Court documents state the boy went to visit his mother, 29-year-old Denaya Young, in August, but she did not give him back to his legal guardian.

RIP kiddo, I'm so sorry you were dealt this garbage as a parent.
 

"...Young allegedly beat Robinson for three hours until he stopped breathing, according to the charging documents.
The Medical Examiner’s Office documented at least 1,172 marks on Jemiere Da’metrius James Robinson’s body, including 74 on his face and head, the majority of which apparently were inflicted during a single event.
The prosecutor wrote that Robinson “cried for help”.

She told police she began abusing the boy in November, according to the affidavit. The Medical Examiner’s Office
found 10 to 20 injuries that appeared to be from before the Jan. 30 attack..."

Rbm.
His broken body told the whole story.

Three hours.

Having accidentally hit my own leg with a power cord while hurrying to vacuum for company ... I know how much it hurts & burns, and that was a small whack.

I looked around online and cannot even find one photo to remember this poor sweet boy by.
Sorry this woman had to be a parent at such a young age but not sorry for her --- in that she inflicted this terrible painful hideous abuse on her own baby.
The pain he endured is beyond imagining.

I believe the charges of second degree murder aren't harsh enough.
Hope it gets upgraded to first.
Omo.

It’s so sad that he had a guardian, but he was not able to escape to safety, for whatever complicated reasons. RIP, young man.

I'm not understanding how someone could beat someone for THREE hours. I'm thinking my arm would want to fall off after 10 minutes. Seriously though... was she on something to give her super staying power/strength cuz that's a LONG time.

As for 1172 marks on his body... I've been wondering for a while now how ME's count when a body has a lot of stab marks (in the dozens). But 1172 strike marks? How do they count accurately without counting some multiple times in instances like this? Just trying to understand how they do it.

That poor kid :(

From your link...

The ME declared his cause of death was multiple blunt-force trauma. He then suffered Sudden Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), in which the body sends blood to so many areas in the body that it cannot sustain the heart.
No wonder the poor kid told her he was dizzy. His blood was trying to heal him which kinda backfires on the living by shutting down your heart. smh

I know this is going to be like "Duh"... but it sounds like she has an anger management problem. Other than the obvious (a 3 hr whipping)... there's also what her boyfriend said in your quoted post.
 
This is an even bigger shame. He apparently didn't even legally live with her. I wonder why she didn't give him back to his legal guardian if she was just going to treat him in the manner that she did? :(

Court documents state the boy went to visit his mother, 29-year-old Denaya Young, in August, but she did not give him back to his legal guardian.

Court documents claim Young stated, "Every time he would stand up, he kept falling over but I thought he was bullsh--ing me," and "the last couple falls, the last four to five falls, he did hit his head on something on the way down.
"
