A man who had tortured his 11-year-old stepson, who was then saved by a waitress who surreptitiously flashed a sign at the boy reading “Do you need help?”, was given multiple life sentences by a Florida judge. [Tweet]
Timothy Lee Wilson, 36, had eaten at the Mrs. Potato Head restaurant in Orlando on New Years’ Day, 2021, with his wife, the 11-year-old boy, and his four-year-old sister, when waitress Flavaine Carvalho noticed the family did not order food for the boy and he had bruises on his face and arms.

Thank goodness the woman was paying attention and did something. How many other children nationwide are going through similar circumstances. This eleven year old boy can't be the only one.

That incubator loosely referred to as his “mother” should receive the same level of punishment as this abomination of a man!

Heroes are everywhere! The waitress was very brave and her manager too, who allowed for the police to be called to confront a customer.

I suggest reading the series "A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer. It is a true story about what he experienced as a child 3who was physically and mentally abused by his parents. He was the boy who was abused, not feed, locked up while his brothers were taken care of. Poorly, but taken care of. The series is quite disturbing for anyone who cannot imagine treating anyone like he was treated. He has also written companion books about his experience. Child abuse is hard to handle and life isn't enough and here's hoping his mother also gets what is coming to her. Thanks to that waitress who did not decide "this is none of my business".

For those who were asking:
FTA: "The boy’s biological mother Kristen Swann, will be sentenced on September 16."

Heartbreaking story. I hope 'mother and pig stepfather' rot in prison and never, ever come out.

But what about the little girl who was with them?? Apparently she was a half sister, but where has she ended up?

Any female unit who bore a child and allowed this to happen to their baby should get the death sentence in this mother bears opinion! I would sooner be a poor widow than ever risk my babies.
Children living with a non-related male (stepdad or boyfriend) are most at risk for abuse and molestation. Remember this grandparents. Keep track of your grandbabies. Never hesitate to get help.

Good job by the waitress.
The stepfather should be given the exact same thing as he did to the kid, then put him in jail.

Credit the real Po-lice who took the kid to the hospital. He risked his career in so doing. Saving a child is worth it but in too many jurisdictions in 2022, it's unlikely cops would have even been dispatched, so credit the 911 operator, as well.
War story warning: read if you're having trouble sleeping.
Back in the late 80s, I was dispatched to the smaller of two airports in a big Texas city to take possession of a baby and arrest both parents, based on calls made by the airline ops center to our 911 call center. On an incoming flight, the head flight attendant, known as the purser at that time, had reported two passengers having an escalating major verbal and increasingly physical altercation. Back then, passengers seldom got involved in airplane drama, as they have during and after 911. The male was very large, aggressively intoxicated and had their 9 mo old baby right in the middle of their fight. I was thinking, "this could go south in a hurry." Both parents refused the purser's attempt to get them to stop and hand over the baby to ensure her safety. The co-pilot got involved and determined that the parent's conduct was a danger to themselves, the baby, and the rest of the flight, so after informing the parents that he was going to swear out a criminal affidavit, the pilot called the flight ops center and ask for police and child protective services to meet the flight at the gate. The male was especially belligerent but the mom wasn't helping and did not seem too concerned about her baby. By the time I got the call, the flight was already taxiing to the terminal, so there was no time for CPS to respond for the baby or to assemble more than two officers to affect the arrests, while securing the baby. The single back-up sent was a fairly new female transplant to Texas from New Jersey, where she had worked the waterfront streets of Elizabeth. When the mom and dad came off of the jet bridge, they were both screaming at each other and pulling on the 9 month old baby, like a bizarre tug-of-war. While my back-up distracted the dad by shouting his name and grabbing his shoulder from behind, I quietly snatched the baby from from him, stepped back, and handed her to my back-up. I stepped back in to the dad, who had turned on me combatively but then the mom, screaming like a banshee, came flying in after the officer holding the baby. The officer, let her get close, and with the baby in her left hand and across her inside forearm like a football, she looked like she was going to stiff arm mom but instead, inserted her right middle finger deep into the notch at the base of mom's throat and just above where your collar bones attach to the sternum, pushing her back about 5 feet into a wall. On the way to the station for book-in the dad kept telling us he was a local attorney and would have our jobs by morning. He then started challenging me to stop and take his cuffs off, so he could teach me a thing or two. My back-up replied before I could, asking him "who do you think put those cuffs on you, dirtbag?" She was a keeper, and had an above average career, until she made Lieutenant and faded into the bureaucracy, never to be heard from again. Over.
