An Oklahoma City woman is arrested on some truly bizarre claims of child abuse.
Officers were called to a home in southeast Oklahoma City after the alleged suspect tried to take the victim to Griffin Memorial Hospital.
According to the police affidavit, 49-year-old Geneva Robinson told employees at the hospital that she could not control the girl anymore.
The 7-year-old child looked to be malnourished and had numerous burns and bruises across her body, according to the police report.
The report says the victim’s ankles had cuts around them and were infected.
Her wrists had marks “which had the appearance of possibly being bound.”
Authorities say the 7-year-old girl claims Robinson, her grandmother, would dress up as a witch and abuse her.
The girl told a DHS worker that Robinson would wear a green mask, take her to the garage, bind her wrists at night and make her sleep on a pair of pants because “she was in trouble.”
The child says the witch’s name is “Nelda.”
“Nelda” would allegedly “take a pink dog leash and hang the victim in the middle of the garage underneath her arms” and tell the girl “the creatures in the attic were going to come get her.”
The child also said that she would be hit with an orange and black whip.
“If it wasn’t serious, it would be laughable,” said Tracie Spillman, a neighbor. “I can’t believe it. I just think that’s not true.”
“I do not believe it,” said George Finley, another neighbor.
“I just don’t believe the allegations against her,” said Heidi Campbell.
Several neighbors agree they’ve never seen any bizarre behavior from the alleged suspect or the three other young kids who lived in the home showed no signs of abuse.
“It’s just something I don’t believe because I’ve seen the kids and they look fine, they look happy,” said Campbell.
“I don’t believe it at all. She’s too nice and takes care of those kids,” said Finley.
“It’s not true at all,” said Joshua.
Joshua, who refused to give his last name, actually lives in the home with the suspect.
He describes the alleged victim as a troubled child and denies the suspect had an evil witch alter ego.
“She’s never dressed up as a witch to punish any of the kids,” said Joshua.
For their part, police claim what they found inside the home seems to back up the victim’s story.
“The evidence at the scene corroborated what she was saying,” said MSgt. Gary Knight, Oklahoma City Police Department. “There were whips and chains and a witch’s hat found there. Just a completely horrible situation for a child to be in.”
Another grown adult who lives in the home also allegedly told police he got the witch treatment, claiming the suspect kicked him in the genitals on a regular basis.
Robinson was booked into the Oklahoma County jail on a $10,000 bond.
All four young kids who live in the home were placed in protective custody.
Do to her what they used to do to witches.
As opposed to a juvenile adult?
“Another grown adult who lives in the home also allegedly told police he got the witch treatment, claiming the suspect kicked him in the genitals on a regular basis.”
Ya just can’t make this stuff up folks.....
We dunk suspected witches because if they float, it’s because they are made of wood... which, as you all know, witches are made out of... and is why we burn ‘em at the stake.
Life is a lark in the trailer park.
Who cares what the neighbors say? Serial killers have managed to store 20+ bodies in their houses and their neighbors had no idea. Abusers and killers avoid being caught by being charismatic and diverting suspicion. Although, I don’t know if this is the case in this situation.
Throw a bucket of water on her.
This thread was perfectly fine without pictures.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
This story does have some similarity to the fake child abuse cases of the eighties and nineties.
One difference is they do seem to have some physical evidence here. Maybe guilty, but I think it’s best people not rush to judgment.
If looks were evidence, she is guilty
******************************
Classic signs of abuse.
Agreed.
Yep, that’s about as “allegedly” as you can get. Even the dog thought she looked “allegedly”.
> If true...
Do to her what they used to do to witches.
The float test or the burning at the stake?...: )
> If looks were evidence, she is guilty
I see a lot of supressed rage in that face but probably only applies when the police are present...
Just awful. What is wrong with people?
That’s a rough looking 49. I would guess she been “49” for at least 10 years.
