Woman accused of ‘horrific, long-term torture’ of 13-year-old disabled boy
POMPANO BEACH — A 13-year-old boy was found beaten, soaked in urine and tethered to a metal step stool, with a blanket over his head at his home in Pompano Beach, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.
Jennifer Elaine Foran, 39, called her husband at work Monday night and told him to come home because of an emergency. He arrived about 9:30 p.m. to find his abused son, but he did not call 911 until the next day.
The father, whose name was not released, told detectives when his son lifted his head to look up from under a blanket, he immediately noticed a burn under his son’s eye.
The father later told detectives he was afraid to report it because of his wife. She had shot at him about a month earlier during an argument, according to an arrest report.
