Report: Abused child told police she thought her name was "Idiot"

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. -- Police have arrested a Hot Springs, Arkansas, couple on battery and abuse charges for allegedly zip-tying a 4-year-old girl to her bed as punishment.

The child told authorities she thought her name was “Idiot,” according to an arrest report obtained by The Sentinel-Record.

Hot Springs police arrested the girl’s mother, Jennifer Denen, 30, and her live-in boyfriend, Clarence Reed, 47, Friday and charged them with felony counts of first-degree domestic battery, permitting the abuse of a minor and endangering the welfare of a minor. A police report says officers were summoned to the Cooper-Anthony Mercy Child Advocacy Center after workers there determined the child had been abused.

A police report says the girl had bruises, a black eye, scars and ligature marks on her wrists.

What a fine couple. They should put them in front of the firing squad. People like this have no place in our society.

If ever there was a case warranting capital punishment.

Not to defend either of them, but my guess is that what they did is part of multigenerational story of abuse. I hope that the child is taken from this environment and finds a better one so that the chain is broken.

10:44 you a therapist or social worker. Either way you are part of what is wrong with this world common sense dictates you do not treat a child this way. Libtards blame the world for bad behavior. Try a little ownership and respect
