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

[Gemmie]

Ugh. The 5 month old isn't going to be mentally scarred by this, but a 4 and 6 year old? That's going to be hard on them. I hope they can get some people to work through what they witnessed.

“I cut his * a little too hard. He was supposed to be doing chores, he didn’t,” she told responding officers. “He was supposed to do them last night. It’s a recurring thing, and then I let my anger get the best of me with the extension cord.”

While the 14-year-old enduring the beating, his three siblings, a 5-month old, and a 4- and 6-year-old, were present.

A 29-year-old Seattle mother told police that she beat her 14-year-old son to death with an extension cord because he didn't do his chores.

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

I'm sure they have some way of marking it, like a small flag for stab or bullet wounds, or a sticker for bruises.

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.

This horrendous 'mother' is showing up like Sara Sharif's male parent.

I'm not for corporal punishment in any way myself, but realise it is allowed in the US. All states? idk.

But something like this? No way can that be termed spanking / slapping / smacking.

It's beating to death.

I wouldn't count on the 5 month old having no pscyhological scars! He/She will have heard agonising screams and will have sensed very disturbing emotions. Witnesses to violence can be traumatised and traumatisation happens due to (among other things) a felt sense of: There's no escape. Infants can't escape, so I hope this baby is given help.

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."

What'd ya do man .. mosey to the kitchen and make more popcorn?

Grrrrrrr

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."

The last 4 to 5 falls

One fall wasn't enough blood lust for this vicious woman. She had to go back for 3-4 more beatings and falls.

I think this is murder with torture. This is not accidentally hitting him with a pan a knocking him out. This is outright torture.

And the other adult is an accessory to murder and torture.

So when she was her son's age, she was having a child, but he deserves to die for not doing his chores? I wonder what getting pregnant at 14 deserves??? What is wrong with people?

 

[LauraAnne]

It's just unfathomable. When you picture this, it just defies belief.

And reading it, YOU KNOW this isn't her first rodeo. She doesn't seem all that remorseful, just kind of a little surprised.

I'm wondering if other family were afraid of her. Stepdad doesn't want to intervene, her sister is legal guardian but doesn't go and retrieve the boy- that sounds to me like people who are afraid of what she'll do if they cross her. (NOT that this excuses stepdad in ANY way, it absolutely does NOT, but I'm wondering if that was his real thought process and the statement he gave was just phrased so he wouldn't have to admit he was afraid of his partner.) That tells me that there's a real anger management issue there- and that this may not be the first time she's beaten someone, just the first time they didn't survive. OMO MOO

That's because she thought he was faking it to get her to stop.

“I just kept swinging the (HDMI) chord, I should have listened, but I kept saying you’re gonna stand up and do your chores and he was like mom I’m dizzy, I can’t do it, and I thought he was faking,” she told the detective.

Not doing chores = missing a weekend out with friends or standing in a corner for 15 minutes, not this! With parents like these...

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.

I hope the adult male is charged for not stopping the abuse/killing.

 

[Mandi3020]

This “mother,” is a tyrant. No doubt her family is afraid of her. Her partner certainly is. I hope she gets to live the life she deserves in prison. My heart breaks for the son she murdered.

For 3 hours? She couldn't just stop and give up on whatever worthless "chores" he was supposed to do?

She beat him for 3 hours? How was it he couldn't just run past her and out of the house? Did the mother somehow lock him in the room? Did the stepfather prevent him from escaping? Was he tethered to something or otherwise restrained?

This is unbelieveably cruel and unnatural.

IMO I'm thinking he didn't have the strength. In the beginning I think he likely bowed down to his mother. Then it kept going and going and going. Then he was past the point where he could just walk away physically. He said he was dizzy, then kept falling (4-5 times. See upthread post). HOW she could continue this for THREE hours, I don't know. I posted about that upthread where my arm would be falling off! How did she have the physical strength, for one, and why didn't her mind say "ENOUGH punishment!!"?

Dont get me wrong, I wouldn't punish anyone like that for even 1 second/lash. I'm asking why SHE didn't at some point snap out of it and realize enough was enough.

 

[Chimera]

Am wondering why no mugshot ?
Also from the video at the DM link, there is a broken window.
Did she push him hard enough to shove him into that window ?

Somewhat infuriating to hear her defense atty. asking for release on parole; as the 'mother' is "traumatized from the loss of her son..." .
Gmab.
Imo.

I'm guessing it started out as fear of making it worse by defying her, and by the time he realized it had turned life and death he no longer had the physical strength. I suspect that this wasn't the first round with beatings, and, like the stepdad, he sort of had a mental "protocol" for getting it over with as quickly as possible, and once he realized this wasn't an ordinary beating it was too late. MOO
