A woman was sentenced to five years in prison and one year of probation by the Porter Superior Court in Indiana, after she pleaded guilty to reckless homicide, after admitting that she pinned her adopted son, Dakota Levi Stevens, to the floor for about seven minutes, causing him serious internal injuries that eventually led to his death
The events occurred in April 2024 in the state of Indiana, when police officers responded to an emergency call about the death of the 10-year-old boy who died from serious injuries caused by his mother's punishment, who is morbidly obese.
The woman, identified as 48-year-old Jennifer Lee Wilson, who weighs 339.5 pounds, told police she punished the boy by sitting on him for running away to a neighbor's house and her reprimand was excessive.
According to the police, Dakota ran away to a neighbor's house to ask for help, as he claimed that his parents beat him and would not let him talk to his social worker, and even asked her to adopt him.
Lee Wilson then went to pick him up and took him back home and punished him by throwing him to the floor and sat on him with the intention of teaching him a lesson and would later call his social worker.
Minutes later, he asked him if he was ready to get up, but received no response, so he wondered if he was faking an injury. When he turned him over, he realized that he was unresponsive and had pale eyelids, so he immediately called the emergency services.

Dakota died at South Bend Hospital two days later and when an autopsy was performed, forensic experts discovered that he suffered severe damage to organs and soft tissues, liver and lung hemorrhage, among other injuries. The St. Joseph County coroner's office determined that the cause of death was mechanical asphyxia caused by his mother.
The punishment should be an elephant sit on her.
So this is a case of someone’s body really being a “deadly weapon.”
It's sad the child couldn't be saved. "Mama" needs to go to prison for a long time - what a witch. I'll bet she's a democrat.
I have no words....smh
I’ve seen sows do it to piglets in farrow pens. It was a daily duty to remove them when cleaning/replacing straw bedding. Time for this human sow to be removed from the rest of the herd.
What did the elephant do to deserve that punishment?
In before the Far Side cartoon “Lost Dog”
Is the morbidly obese “Jennifer” Lee Wilson really a dude??? A monster regardless, but another strike against the trans being able to adopt kids, IMHO.
True. He is the symbol of the Republican Party. How about a hippo or walrus?
I never thought about heavy hogs being dangerous but in a rock memoir someone wrote about Linda Ronstadt being in peril
in the photo shoot for the album Silk Purse.
Someone said they’re heavy and if you aren’t careful sitting near them, one could roll over on you and crush your hip and thigh or break a foot.
A woman from her staff said: “Linda grew up on farms and she
is confident and knows how to handle various types of animals——including men.”
More or less the same. My grandpa raised pigs. We were there when it happened to the piglet.
Cruel and tragic.
What bad luck to be raised by her and have his chance at life taken away.
May he rest in peace.
5 years for torturing a child to death? WTF is wrong with these courts? The prosecutor should get 10 years.
Good one.
Yes, that really sux !
She IS a "concealed weapon", minus the concealment. They should stick a wick in her fat behind and set her alight. She'd burn for days. Poor little boy, trying to get away from her. Why did the neighbor not protect him?
