Warren, OH – Shannon “Stoodi” Currence, 28, is a child-beating bitch.  Last Saturday, her nine-year-old son was being teased and picked on in the family’s front yard.  The little boy started to scream at his tormentors – only to have his mother make things worse.  

Currence dragged the child into the house by his ear and beat hell out of him.  By the time the beating, kicking and choking was over, her little boy had handprint bruises to his head.

Things didn’t get better from there.  On Tuesday, Currence started choking her son again because he didn’t pack his overnight bag properly for a visit.    But by 4:00 that afternoon, someone stepped in – the boy’s paternal grandmother.  The grandmother called police to her home, where the boy had been dropped off with her and his father.

When police showed up, they saw the handprint bruises and scratches to the child.  A neighbor told the police that her daughter had seen Currence choke and threaten her son with worse beatings if he told anyone.  The neighbor also told police she has spent time caring for the child due to Currence’s neglect.

Police went to Currence’s home to talk with her, but the only person there with the other kids was a 13 year old sitter.  There were marijuana pipes in plain view in front of the children as well.   Once Currence got home, police arrested her for child endangerment, but Currence didn’t go easy – instead, she decided to kick at the officers and pull away, so I expect she got a taste of her own medicine on the way to jail.

The nine-year-old boy and his three siblings were placed in the custody of DCS.  The paternal grandmother says that she and the children’s father are caring for the kids.

Currence was taken to the Warrant County Jail, where she posted her $2,500 bond. She was charged with child endangerment and resisting arrest.  Currence is expected in court on June 17 for her preliminary hearing.   I’m sort of wondering where the assault and battery and child abuse charges are, but that’s just me.   I predict she’ll do less than six months in jail.  Then she’ll talk the talk, get her kids back, and start all over.  Here’s hoping she doesn’t kill one of them.
