Tina Lynn Tatum Beats Son at Mesa, Arizona Wal-Mart
Tina Lynn Tatum, 29, is facing two counts of child abuse for hitting, punching and dragging her bloodied 10-year-old son inside a Wal-Mart in Mesa, Arizona. The beating was captured on cellphone cameras and forwarded to police.
This isn’t the first time that Tatum has been in trouble for child abuse. Four years ago, her boyfriend, Pedro Peralta shook her three-month-old son, Anthony Nieves to death. Tatum was accused of failing to prevent or report the acts. She pleaded guilty to attempted child abuse and was sentenced to a year incarceration and lifetime probation. Tatum had just completed 51 of 52 court-mandated counseling sessions for domestic violence when this incident occured.
But it gets even worse. After Peralta killed her son, Tatum had smothered her roommate’s son. Why was this woman out on the streets?
Her son has been placed with family members. If convicted, Tatum could get a minimum prison sentence of 4.5 years. I hope the prosecutors and the judge look over all these incidents and put her away for the maximum time. She’s a baby killer and serial child abuser!
