It’s TURKEY for Thanksgiving – Not Ten Year Olds…
Chef Debbie
Article1, Article2
Debra Denise Chatman, 27, and her live-in abuser, William Tajahn Hurley, 23, have both been charged with malicious punishment of a child, and Chatman has also been charged with endangerment, in the beating of Chatman’s 10-year old son. Both articles refer to Hurley as the boy’s ‘dad’, but based on his age and the age of the child, I am betting that should have been ’step-dad’.
These two sorry examples of the bipedal mammalian species called ‘human’, began their torture session with the boy by beating him with a belt and burning him with a hot iron. When the child ran and hid under the bed, the male animal threatened to kill him if he refused to come out.
When the terrified child came out, he tried to escape by running from the apartment, screaming loudly. His horrible incubator then dragged him back into the apartment, where Hurley began beating him again – this time with an extension cord. It was at this point that the boy once again got out of Hurley’s grasp, and tried to hide in the oven. Did the egg donor then try to protect her son, I ask you? No. She turned on the freakin’ oven. With her own child inside. What a slag.
Chatman at first tried to blame Hurley for turning on the oven, but later admitted that she was the one who had done it. All he did was burn the boy with a hot iron. Oh. OK. That makes it alright, then. Not.
When police arrived, you would think that the idiot (pseudo)adults would have left off beating the boy….but no. They were apparently not that smart. Big surprise there, right? The 23-year old sex toy allegedly threatened, in front of of the responding officers, to beat the child again. He had to be restrained by the officers.
The mother stated that though the man wasn’t actually the bio-dad of her son, he was the primary ‘father-figure’, and would discipline the boy when he acted out against her. Wait a minute……isn’t that supposed to be HER job? As the mother?
Now, what, you may ask, was the initial cause of this beating? Not that anything the child did could justify such abuse, but you would at least think that the child must have done something pretty heinous, right? Maybe he set the living room on fire, or wrecked the family car while out joyriding? Or maybe he kicked the family pet a few times, or slapped his mom (obviously somebody should have)? Noooooo…….he was beaten because he went into his mother’s bedroom, and Hurley didn’t like that. What?!? Because he went into the bedroom? Did he smoke up all of their crack that was in there, or interrupt them in the middle of a sexual frenzy? He went into a bedroom, and got beaten, burned, and almost baked for it? My head spins.
Thanks to jake’s_daddy for the tip.

And I’ve spent so much time keeping my little one’s away from the oven. “…hot,hot,hot,hot,hot,stay away.”

See? You learn lots of new things here, LisaAnn! Now you know you’re not supposed to keep them AWAY from the oven – you’re supposed to shove them INTO it, and turn it on! No, wait…..that’s what you’re NOT supposed to do – you were already doing it right. Everybody, follow LisaAnn’s lead, OK?

Wow… I’m still trying to figure out how small this child was to have fit in he oven. My son will be 9 in January and he is small to me…. He couldn’t fit in my oven if I tried.
Well, thank God they are stupid. To verbalize that he was going to beat the kid in fornt of the cops is awesome. Hopefully the judge will think so too.
November 18th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Shoot! I can fit two or three of mine in the oven at once, April. Not that I’ve ever tried, or anything….*whistling nonchalantly*
But seriously…kids are limber. Mine can twist themselves into pretzel shapes, and crawl into spaces I wouldn’t even think my cat could hide in. Amazing creatures, kids.

My little guy has just discovered the empty bottom shelf of the netertainment center, and has taken a nap in his toy box, which i would find extremely uncomfortable, but he slept for a good long time that day.
November 18th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
My kid is crazy limber. I must just have a small oven… Non-domestic me. I spend more time at the beach than I do in the kitchen.
November 18th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Shoot, I spend more time in the kitchen than I do in the bedroom, and that’s saying a lot, considering I have six kids.
November 18th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
So what you are saying is that I may not want to be eatin’ dinner at your house?? Sounds like someone’s hanky pankied on the kitchen counter. Don’t worry sweetie – There isn’t a safe place in my house.

As Scrooge said in the current movie… some people ought to get on with dying and decrease the overpopulation problem (or something like that). I nominate the crazy hag in the pic and her live in monster. Anyone care to second that?
November 18th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
I second….

What’s the big deal about kids going in parent’s rooms anyway? My step-mom hated me to go in her room and I never could figure out why. I went in when she wasnt home, snooped and found nothing remotely worth hiding. *shrug*
My kids come and go as they please. In fact my 9 yr old has her own drawer of hair stuff in my master bathroom.
To beat a kid that bad is terrible, for no good reason though? Sounds like just trying to show who is in control. Idiots.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
No shit. My kid spends most of his time in my room. I chose not to put a TV in his room so that he didn’t lock himself in there and not spend time with us…. Now he locks himself in my room to watch TV. Sheesh. I have nothing to hide… and those things he has no business in are well out of his reach (if not under lock and key).
November 18th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
I’m going to have to disagree about the whole bedroom thing. I don’t allow my children to come and go in my room, it’s a matter of privacy and personal space. I give it to them and I expect the same from them. They are expected to knock and wait for me to tell them to come in and they are expected to stay out when I’m not there. I don’t punish them when they do go in my room without permission, but I do reprimand them for it.
This asshole and his bitch were so far out of line for their behavior and if that was the reason for beating this boy, talk about overeacting.
November 18th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
My son knows if the door is shut to knock. I guess I don’t mind him in there. It’s not like he goes in there to hang out…. Well, he watches TV but that is my doing. It gives me that option of monitoring his TV viewing.
November 18th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
JJ I understand that. If the door is closed and I am in my room, they knock. We have 4 kids and 2 bathrooms, so our bathroom is shared, and our room is naturally a walk through. My craft table is in here, too. My daughter has her crafts all over it. My closet has 2 kids unifroms in it so they go in there to get dressed.
I guess it does depend on how your household functions, though.

WTF??!!!!!!!! Please tell me this little boy was placed in protective custody- Father Figure?? Are u kidding me? God, I feel so sorry for that little boy- the terror he must have felt-
November 18th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Lori – I keep my room open also. I have one child, so I know who to blame if anything happens. But mostly, I don’t want him to feel like he isn’t welcome into my space. Sometimes he finds my room comforting. He lays on my bed when he’s sick. He and I read to each other there. I guess every family is deferent. I certainly wouldn’t beat him for hanging out in my room – that’s awful…..
November 18th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
My little guy likes to nap in our room, and likes to sleep with us when he’s not feeling well (and any other time he can get away with it actually). I just make sure that if I don’t want him in there, I lock the door so he can’t get in.

CPS will do little more than “strongly advise” the incubator to avoid exposing the boy to the man and give the boy back to her, once she signs a “parenting plan.”
Seen it before, repeated again and again with the same incubator, same penis, same children.
Sorry, but little faith in CPS thanks to past experiences.
November 18th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
I think a 10 year old child could fit into a shoebox if he was that terrified, and he was!
Actually, he was probably getting beaten just because he merely existed.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
This is just sick, that they tried to roast the little guy…he probably ‘fit’ in the oven too due to being underfed maybe?
Just speculating, but if they abuse him in other ways denying him food isn’t that far of a stretch.
November 19th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
wow. I want to hug him. He probably hasn’t had one in a long time.
November 19th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
If ever………

When the child ran and hid under the bed, the male animal threatened to kill him if he refused to come out.
Can you imagine the horror! I never did understand that threat even as a child(if you DON’T come here I’m going to punish you)any child would wonder if it was worth the risk, apparently in this case the poor guy was going to get it no matter what he did. What was the big secret in mommy’s room? As an adult I would be dying to know also. LOL
November 28th, 2009 at 12:41 am
luvsblgmo, Exactly! that’s what I was trying to say when it was questioned how he fit into an oven! He was so terrified that he curled up, shoved into, and bent himself anyway possible to get away from that monster!
November 28th, 2009 at 1:01 am
Sad to say but I can imagine what the breeders was saying when they found out the boy went into the oven,this is what might have been said,haha,(whispers to each other)the boy thinks he is hiding,(out loud)lets turn on the oven to heat up a pizza, the boy waits hoping it was all a joke, when he feels it heating up he panics and jumps out of oven whereas the step breeder laughs and starts beating him, until luckily the cops show up,and the step breeder thinks he is being smart by threatening to beat the child. Hope they find enough charges to keep both breeders in jail for a few months or years, give that child time to enjoy the rest of the holidays with a real family

discipline? discipline? words fail me, as a mother.. as a parent.. how in god’s name did these two actually (I’m searching for the least offensive way to word it), know what their body parts where for? my god. I hope that child is kept away from her. Violence is a circle that needs to be broken, not the child’s spirit. What animals. No that is not fair. Animals actually try to protect their young…..
