The inside of his ears had been burned with cigarettes. He was forced to drink shampoo. >His caretakers bent two of his toes to the point that an amputation may be necessary, according to reports.
When a Westgate Resorts administrative assistant spotted the 7-year-old trying to serve himself cereal at the buffet in their Osceola County sales center earlier this month, the first thing she noticed was his trembling arms. They were too thin. His eyes were sunken.
"He was really skinny," said Westgate employee Hilda Berrios. "He looked like one of those kids you see on TV." "As I focused, looking on him, I noticed the bruises and the cuts. I just kept noticing one thing after another. I was like, this isn't right."
Berrios contacted her manager, who contacted Westgate security, which called the Sheriff's Office.
The Department of Children and Families on Tuesday said Berrios and two other employees -- Steve Siegel and Humberto Garcia -- likely saved the boy's life.
The boy, who was alone when Berrios spotted him, had a large bruise on his temple and dried blood on his head. His legs were black and blue. Berrios asked the boy if he knew where his mom was. He didn't. She asked if he could spot her in the room. "There was no one," she said. "No one."
Two Baker County women who cared for the boy, Suzette Renee Stevenson, 45, and her girlfriend, Jamie Lynn Martin, 26, are accused of leaving the child in a car while they toured Westgate's time-shares Nov. 6. Each woman was arrested on charges of aggravated child abuse. Martin is being held at the Columbia County Jail, and Stevenson is jailed in Baker County.

This SOB needs to be picked up next.
Those two look to be a little more closely related than just girlfriend/girlfriend.
Lock them up and throw away the key.
From the article: According to Baker County Sheriff Joey B. Dobson, investigators don't know how Stevenson gained custody of the boy.
What they have learned, Dobson said, is that the boy's father obtained custody of the boy in California. But the father gave the boy to his aunt, who raised him with her partner, Stevenson.
Dobson said the aunt died and then Stevenson and the child moved to Baker County.
How did he even survive?? Nailed his wrists to the wall?! I wonder where they lived that no one heard the screaming.
They are to be charged with aggravated child abuse? What a joke. How about attempted murder? I am just sickened. Like so many other violent savages they probably won’t spend nearly enough time in prison.
When they do get out I hope there is an angry mob waiting for them at the prison gate. There should be one trying to get in to the prison now to administer real justice.
This country is going to have a lot more cases like this in the future, personally I think any household of this “type” that has a boy involved should have mandatory observations done by a health care officer on a very frequent basis.
its probably happening already.
Sounds like culling to me.
This is one thing I truly do not understanding about lesbians. They hate men so much yet all the while they are trying desperately to look like men. What’s up with that?
They aren’t “sows” or “bitches” [as someone above said]. I’m pretty sure they’re demons. I just cannot think of anything else to call beings who delight in the continual torture of the innocent and helpless. I say lock them up and let the general population treat them as they have treated this poor child.
The Porn/ Entertainment industry perpetuates the " beautiful lesbian " myth.
Prayers up for this baby and God help the two perps - may they rot in hell!! Good work to the staff who rescued this poor guy.
Given the orientation of these ladies, they already removed themselves from the pool.
GUILTY! and GUILTY!
DING DING DING ... We have winner. And an alleged 'HATE CRIME' for expressing the truth.
Look at how fat these depraved things are! I am just sickened. Prayers of thanks for the rescuers and prayers for a loving rehabilitation for the child.
I doubt anybody would pay to watch these two go at it.
Look for keywords referencing his gender..."The BOY was bad", "The little pr@ck deserved it".
I'm sorry, but I know another boy who was raise by two lesbians and he will be emotionally scarred for life from the mental abuse alone. Sad thing is, their is next to nothing that can be done about it.
See now, this is the sort of story that makes the whole discussion of abuse so complicated.
(I’m making these numbers up from my impression, so....) for every ten stories of overzealous, intrusive, statist CPS workers/busybody neighbors, there’s one of these gut-wrenching, pathetic stories of genuine abuse.
If one of my neighbors notices one of my (homeschooled) kids isn’t in the government re-education center, he can report us anonymously and make our lives miserable. That’s wrong; and it happens.
But what’s the better system? Something has to allow for the rescue of poor little lambs like this poor, poor kid.
That’s one for which I haven’t come up with a simple, one-size-fits-all solution that would work in the real world.
So the boy was with his dad's aunt, the boy's grandmother's sister?
Or was the boy placed with his dad's sister, the boy's aunt?
