A 10-year-old Indiana boy was horrifically crushed to death after his 340-pound foster mother sat on him for several minutes and ‘thought he was faking’ as he gasped for breath.
Jennifer Lee Wilson, 48, from Indiana, was charged with reckless homicide in death of her foster child Dakota Stevens.
On April 25, police rushed to the home in Valparaiso, Indiana, responding to an emergency call about a child who wasn’t breathing.
Officers discovered the boy had no pulse and noticed a disturbing bruise on his lower neck and chest.
Dakota was rushed to the hospital, but despite desperate attempts to resuscitate him, he later died.
It was then revealed that Wilson – who is just 4’11’ tall, but weighs 340 pounds – told investigators that Dakota had run away from home earlier that day, according to documents obtained by Express US.
She claimed she found him at a neighbor’s house and brought him back, but he was still ‘acting bad’ and had thrown himself on the ground.
Wilson confessed to sitting on the small boy – who was just 4’10’ and weighed only 90 pounds – for approximately five minutes.
