In a harrowing case that has stunned the community, a 25-year-old pregnant mother in Tacoma, Washington has been accused of brutally killing her three-year-old son, Prince, after he wet the bed.
According to police reports, Ivey Marie Lewis called emergency services on February 12th to report an unresponsive child at her home. Responding officers found the victim, who had a badly bruised and burnt face with cuts, was already dead. Further investigation revealed that he had suffered blunt force trauma to the head, and marks all over his body suggested he had been beaten with a blunt object.
Initially, Lewis claimed that Prince would regularly run into walls head-first, but police found dried blood spattered on the walls of the home, prompting a deeper investigation. The mother eventually confessed to using a belt and an electrical cord to whip the boy, after he urinated on a mattress. Tragically, this punishment ultimately led to his death.
