An East Side woman regularly left her 3-year-old son locked in an unlit linen closet for hours at a time when she wasn’t home, authorities say. The space was 24 inches wide and, because of shelving, just 12 inches high, said Sgt. John Hurst of the Columbus Police Division’s special-victims bureau. “No lights; (he) couldn’t sit up, couldn’t stand up – had to lay down,” Hurst said yesterday. “It was kind of like an area (where) you’d put your towels next to the bathroom.”

Disbarred US Army Lawyer Pleads Guilty to Forcible Sodomy with Infant
(ARLINGTON, Va.) – A US Army lawyer and 1997 West Point graduate has pleaded guilty in Virginia court to forcible sodomy with an infant. Daniel A. Woolverton, 35, of Arlington, VA, and originally Lakeland, FL, had a second charge of raping the infant dropped in court. His prison sentence of 37 years will be served concurrently with federal charges earlier this year where he also pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 27 years for sexually assaulting a several month-old infant boy which he videotaped.
Woolverton, who both made and distributed child pornography, was observed by an undercover FBI agent of using peer-to-peer file sharing software in May and July of 2009. Using an alias screen name, Woolverton subsequently shared child pornography images and videos with the agent. The user profile was linked to a computer at Woolverton’s home address.

The ‘last child’ syndrome has witnessed many a psychologist publish tomes on being the youngest born in a family and its social ramifications during the growth cycle. However, these days the term takes on a new meaning for parents who fear the safety of their child just because s/he happens to be the last one to step off the school bus on the route home.

A Covington County grand jury has indicted the Andalusia mother accused of breaking her 1-year-old daughter’s arm in three places, dragging her up a flight of stairs and locking her in a bedroom so she and her boyfriend could allegedly “eat lunch without hearing the crying.” Tiffany Ann Riley, 21, and Jermaine Pate were arrested in July following the incident at a local apartment complex.
