According to authorities, the child’s mother contacted police in late April after discovering bruises on her son’s back and arms following his pickup from the facility. That report launched a joint investigation by the Kenosha Police Department and the Wisconsin Department of Children and Family Services.

After more than a month of inquiry, investigators identified Althafir as the suspect and made the arrest on June 3.

  2. Guys have you ever thought that the mother of the child is a racist son of a bitch and is just accusing the women of child abuse what the fuck is wrong with you people!!!

    5

    1. You sound related to the abusive bitch and thought coming on her trying to defend the bitch was a good idea

      8

    2. she was definitely falsely accused. These people in the comments are sick, and racist.

    3. Right. Every story on here there is at least once comment about how the accused is innocent, misunderstood, set up. Nobody did anything wrong they are all innocent little angels.

      5

    4. Absolutely not. What is wrong with you? A child was abused, has marks and an investigation is under way. Get your head out of your ass, not everything is about race baiting!!!!

    5. She’s on camera and I’m 38 so why would I be racist? Lol. My lifestyle is diverse. You’re strange

  3. Ok,
    What about the bruises?And there must have been enough evidence to initiate an investigation.

  4. Never leave your children with anyone but family.
    Wives, you don’t need bags and shoes.
    Skip dinners out and vactions. Be a stay at home mom.
    Dads, skip golf and other expenses you don’t need and allow your wife not to work.
    A child belongs with it’s Mother when young, not hired help.

    1. You nailed it, it is only 5 years til school. But Americans as too busy keeping up with the Joneses, they are too far extended, (like the US Government) they can’t maintain their lifestyles on a single income. And stone this bitch if the allegations are true, like they do in her home country.

      4
      1
  5. $10,000 cash bond because there’s evidence of abuse. Sad a child is hurt, someone is shown to be accountable for abuse and people victim blame. It’s not a game of she said/he said, she is on video frustrated causing harm to a non verbal 2 year old. #JusticeForZayne
