Wow that judge showed them, NOT!!!!
WTF!!, The tards burned a baby with cigarette's, beat him and left him with fractures and thats the best the judge can fucking do????


MUNCIE, Ind. - A couple received suspended sentences for neglecting the woman's young son and leaving him with cigarette burns, bruises and fractures.

Lauren Hachet-Scott, 32, and Jeffrey Scott, 33, both pleaded guilty to neglect for the treatment of Hachet-Scott's 10-month-old son in 2007.

The couple was indicted by a Delaware County grand jury in August 2007 after the child's abuse was found during treatment at the hospital.

A plea agreement between defense attorneys and the prosecutor's office reduced the neglect charges to a Class D felony and also dropped an initial battery charge against Scott, who was not married to Hachet-Scott at the time of the child's injuries.

Hachet-Scott was sentenced to 18 months in prison, but a judge suspended that sentence as long as she meets the terms of probation. Scott, who had prior criminal convictions, received a three-year sentence, but the judge suspended two years and put Scott on one-year home detention.

Hachet-Scott's ex-husband, Jim Hachet, called the suspended sentences "a big joke."

Hachet, who now has custody of the victim and his older brother, said the boy has no memory of the abuse, but that his older son is still afraid of his mother and Scott.

MUNCIE -- A mother and her new husband walked out of court Monday with suspended sentences after both pled guilty to neglecting the woman's infant son, who was found with cigarette burns, bruises and fractures.

The three-year-old case involving Lauren Hachet-Scott, 32, and her husband, Jeffrey Scott, 33, (they weren't married at the time of the neglect) was described by Circuit Court 3 Judge Linda Ralu Wolf as one of the most difficult the judge handled in her two decade-long career.

"This is horrible, ... just horrible," said Wolf, as she read the abuse suffered by Hachet-Scott's 10-month infant son in March 2006.

Hachet-Scott's ex-husband, Jim Hachet, who now has custody of the victim and his brother, called the suspended sentence "a big joke." He pointed to the plea agreement between defense attorneys Jack and Mike Quirk and the prosecutor's office to reduce the neglect charges to a Class D felony while also dropping an initial battery charge against Jeff Scott.

"I am glad to say (the victim) has no memory of the abuse," said Jim Hachet, adding his older son is still afraid that his mother and Scott were coming to kill him.

Hachet-Scott and Scott were indicted by a Delaware County grand jury in August 2007 after the infant's abuse was found during treatment at the hospital. The couple had been living in Dunkirk, but moved to Ohio.

Wolf sentenced Hachet-Scott to 18 months in prison, but suspended that sentence as long as she meets the terms of probation. Scott, who had prior criminal convictions, got a three-year sentence, but the judge suspended two years and put Scott on one-year home detention.

Jim Hachet, who said the prosecutor's office had not been in communication with him since the plea bargain last fall, also objected to the felony neglect pleaded down from as much as a 20-year sentence to a maximum three-year prison term.

Chief Deputy Prosecutor Ron Henderson explained he had little knowledge of the case or the plea that was signed by deputy prosecutor Judi Calhoun, who recently was reassigned to another court.

Henderson said the defendants did accept responsibility for what they did and could end up in jail if they violated the terms of probation.

Jim Hachet, a former police officer, offered a statement to the court about how his sons survived the abuse after having no contact with their mother.

Wolf declined to enter the written questions from Hachet's older son into evidence that questioned why his mother allowed Scott to hurt him and his brother, and make him lie to police.

WHY???!!! After a year here I have no other question than why?

Why would you do this to your own baby?

Why would you allow your man to do this?

Why has this bitch not been struck by lightining?

Why do they get such light sentences?

If they had done this crime to the judge they would have gotten YEARS in jail. So not fair. If we don't start acting like our kids matter to us at fucking all nothing will get better.:argh:

[Tazzzz]

Here are copys of the arrest reports about it. Pretty nastey stuff.

Those poor babies. I agree with the ex-husband that the sentence is a "big joke". Not a very funny one that's for sure. Asshats. They will just breed their own punching bags and they'll be in court again in the near future I'm sure.

[ohmarvellousme!]

This is an absolute fucking disgrace!!!! They were only tried for NEGLECT??? WTF?! They TORTURED that helpless little baby. They broke his bones, beat him and burned him with cigarettes! They have psychologically damaged the older boy for life. That is a fuck of a lot more than NEGLECT!!

I am literally FURIOUS right now!


"This is horrible, ... just horrible," said Wolf, as she read the abuse suffered by Hachet-Scott's 10-month infant son in March 2006.

The judges own words, and yet she gives them suspended sentences? That fucker is not even going to jail for the year he is meant to be serving, just home detention!!!

Judge Linda Ralu Wolf , its time you retired dear. Two decades handling cases has obviously frazzled your brain beyond repair. You are no longer capable of making rational decisions and as such are a liability and a waste of fucking space!

[Dakota Valkyrie]

I hope terms of probation/release include mutilation of body parts and tattooing "Child Abuser" in 3 inch letters on their foreheads.

Here is a letter the oldest son wrote to his mom in jail.

[ohmarvellousme!]

Ok, now Im even more mad after reading the arrest reports. How could she not know the baby had such a badly broken arm? He had bite marks too. She told the older boy it was happening because he lied and was a liar,she also told the older boy not to tell DCS what was happening because he would get a spanking.

Somebody, please shoot these idiots while they are on their pathetic 'suspended sentences'.


Ok, just seen the pics of those poor kids, and that letter....man, that really pierced my heart. That poor boy, I hope he is getting help to get past this shit, and that it wont affect him for life. Psychological damage takes so much more time to heal than physical damage. And sometimes it never heals completely. I really hope thats not the case for this child.

Im so glad they are happy now with their dad.

[Wicked Doll]

Here is a letter the oldest son wrote to his mom in jail.


That is one of the saddest things I have ever read. Just heartbreaking. He may not be able to get the answers he seeks, but hopefully he is in much better hands now and will be able to find peace with this situation someday.

[Tazzzz]

It broke my heart to read that letter in the kids handwriteing. Someone said something about Jeff not haveing any hands but thoughs hook things and thats why the judge felt sorry for him. Something about a grain combine ate them. Still looking for more info about it, Still loosing your hands is no excuse to torture a baby.


oh wait, a grain combine already ripped his arms off... well deserved!!!! Have fun eating with meat hooks you effin clown.

[Kaylara]

I don't feel sorry for that fucker. Too bad his HEAD didn't get stuck in the combine.

He still managed to abuse the kids, with or without arms. Should that be a reason for a lighter sentence? I mean, Jesus Tapdancing Christ, look at his past record. It's obvious that this guy was an abusive violent asshole. Forget feeling bad for him, he doesn't deserve it.

[Tazzzz]

Wow, The Tard even has people sticking up for him. Booo hoo hoo, he lost his arms, Cry me a fucking river. My family used to be loggers and we had a shit load of one legged people and others missing one or both limbs. If you have ever been pinched with thoughs claws you never forget it. Its like being in a vice. I feel pretty sorry for both the kids and wish them a happy life , far away from both of these piece of shit AssClowns.

It seems pretty obvious that he has NOT taken the riducule, he allowed himself to react to it and with that chose to become a bully. What does education have to do with stating an opinion? Even children have them. There are many many people in this world who are much worse off , everyone wears their own shoes down the path they choose to walk. I have had my hard times in my life, believe me, but it never ever crossed my mind to take it out on other people no mater how hard it got. This is exactly how I handled tough times in my life.

Handle every Stressful situation like a dog..
If you can't eat it or play with it,
Pee on it and walk away.

This case just goes to show you that what you teach your children while they are growing up isn't necessarily what they do when they are adults. I have known Scott's parents since they were teenagers and they certainly didn't raise their children in this manner.
When Jeffrey lost his arms at age 2.5 ( 2 1/2 years old???) in a corn auger accident they were all devastated. The entire family banded together to teach him how to cope with his disabilities and make the most of the other abiliities he has.
What a shame that he and this woman chose this path, for the baby especially, for their families and for themselves. To be so young, make such hurtful lifelasting decisions !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For one I know that Jeffrey was not raised this way. He was taught love and laughter and coping skills .
Thank heaven this baby won't remember what happened when it grows up unless it has scars from the burns, it might never know and that would be best, but hopefully these two young people will never ever forget what they put the baby and their family through.

The female in this story must be a real moron as well and this whole story is pathetic....from the judge on down. Yes, we all have a place in our hearts for someone who has a handicap.....but this pathetic loser and his story go way beyond that of a poor little crippled person....he is an A@@/hole. I have seen him off and on throughout the years and thank goodness this scum has no hands or he would have killed or molested a child by now. To those of you who don't know him, be thankful and do not pity his sorry A. Shame on the stupid judge for letting this s/o/b slide and I hope you can sleep at night.

It is only a matter of time until Jeff is in prison anyway. This has been coming for a long time. He has always been an abusive controlling jerk. I can't believe he's gotten out of trouble yet again. I was not surprised to hear about this case a couple years back....although I thought this would be the last straw for him. His parents have condoned this behavior for years and always blamed it on other people. Even when he was little he would pinch people with his prosthetic arms to the point of leaving brusies ....Come on, having a disability isn't a reason or excuse to behave this way and he shouldn't be treated like it is.
I have no doubt in mind at all that he is also abusive to his wife. He has abused numerous "partners' in the past. He has a record with violence that I can't believe the judge overlooked.
Thank God the children were taken from both of them and are given a chance at life without his corruption. Shame on the mother for allowing this to happen to her babies.
I have no sympathy for these two...just the kid caught in the middle of their stupidity

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Each one of you all have your opinions and comments.... and you are entitled to them...Until you know all of the facts, not just what the paper has chosen to write, and until you have tried to live life without your arms, do you think you would not of been a bully.. This individual has take ridicule, comments, slurs, mistreatment ever since his accident occured.
Also have any of you been to law school, high school, further your education any further than grade school, if not keep your little opinions to yourselves.
A judge has to go by the evidence, and what the law says they can do, not what we think.
I commend the judge for her ruling, she must have a little heart.
Until you have walked in Jeff's shoes can you ever ever know what life is like
What would you have done in your life,
how would you have handled the remarks that were thrown out to you on a daily bases.
Everyone here has their comment and opinion but I am sure if this happened to them or theirs, their thoughts would be different.
I do not condone the abuse t o a child, but are the facts correct. is the ex husband/cop being vindictive? Who knows .. Only God know all of the facts, each person must answer to God above.

Lets all pray for these people that are involved and quit throwing sticks and stones.

[ohmarvellousme!]

I commend the judge for her ruling, she must have a little heart.

And an even littler brain!

Isn't it just fucktacular when people stick up for abusing assholes? I bet none of those people would be so eager to defend Boo-Hoo-Jeff if he hurt THEIR children. Grrrrrrr.

Hey Jim, I am so happy to see the kids made it through this abuse alive. I hope Jeffrey Scott does something stupid to break his parole and gets put away for the remainder of his sentance. Or if we are lucky he will fall into another corn auger. He belongs behind bars like your ex-wife does for allowing that to happen. There is NO excuse for what happened to your boys.

Hi, Jim. I'm so sorry this happened to your boys. Justice was NOT served, but it's great to know they are in a safe and loving home now. I cried when I read the letter your oldest son wrote to his mother. I wish all of you the best.

[jhach09]

The oldest could not handle being on the stand. He would have had a break down again. his last break down he told the teachers the shrink and anyone who would listen that he thought that his mom and jeff were coming to kill him and his brother.

I was not happy about it ( the plea) I wanted to go for the max.
So on the grounds of doing what is best for my adopted son. Yes I adopted the oldest when I was married to her. It was in the best intret of the oldest.

I fig the would get the max of three year not a suspended sentence

[jhach09]

Here is the kicker on that.
I was there to address the couple. the right of the victim has to address them. Since the boys are minors I was going to do it.

The proscuter called me on the stand as a witness. this ment the speach and the oldest letter was subject to objection.

All the proscuter had to do was wait till the end and then let me speak.
I feel that I let my oldest down because I promised that I would read it in court!!

Thanks Jim, I am not sure, what the age of the other boy is, but i know I would have probly done the same thing, you did. Its a tuff choice to make and you did the best you could.

You may have not read it in court but lots of people have seen it now and we all wonder the damn thing he did.

[jhach09]

[Nell]

You should picket the news offices with big ole signs and those awful pics of your boys. I would.

[FlamingFox]

It was hard to read the boy's letter. It just breaks your heart. I will never understand how parents can do this to their kids. Those two asshats should of been locked away for life! This just sickens me beyond belief!

Thanks Tazzz. I can see you put a lot of time and effort into this. You are a wonderful contributor to this site and I appreciate that! DD would not be the same without you.

[jhach09]

I would have never found this sight with out TAZZ

[Nell]

Yeah Tazz rocks. He brought u to my attention. You and I are friends on MySpace and I told my whole friends list your story.

[Nell]

It would look like no one was trying to help you get out the word and that they should be ashamed you were forced to pickett to get that attention.

[Tazzzz]

Thanks everyone.


I am not sure what you should do now Jim, What is your ultimite goal? What are you trying to achieve? More prison time for Jeff and Lauren ? Stronger sentinceing for child abuse cases like this? There are different groups you could join that would help you but it all depends upon what your main focus is on. Whats going to make you and the boys sleep better at nite?

We just had another thread here that was almost the same as yours. A baby was allegedly abused by a 2 year old. Thoughs parents got screwed over as well by the justice system. They were told there was nothing they could do for them. Its a sad thing to see and read about.

[ohmarvellousme!]

Hi Jim, I just want to say how sorry I am that your boys went through this hell, and that the justice system has failed them so miserably. This 'sentence' is a travesty.

I am so very glad that your boys have you to pick up the pieces and help them to heal and move on. I wish you and them all the very best for the future, and may nothing but happiness and love come to you all from this day on.

And dont worry about 'failing' your oldest child in court. You did not fail him or his brother. It was the judge who failed them, (and the stupid prosecutor too by the sounds of it!) And of course, the freaks who hurt them failed them the most.

Take care and be happy. :wavey:

[jhach09]

Thanks everyone.

Well I know that I cannot change the sentence! What has been done cannot be undone.
We can now finish our healing process now that we know it is over.

I look at this as a cruel joke. It is just as bad as someone breaking into your house to steal and gets hurt and then turns around and sues you for his or her injuries and wins the case.

I feel that its parent’s job is to raise their child with unconditional love. The parent is to provide the best environment as possible for this child to grow up in. If the parent cannot do this then it’s the job of the local, state, federal governments to step in and help this for the child.

In this case only one parent was the problem. The other parent is unfairly painted the hero. Which is me in this case, I put my pants on like every other parent out there. If the boys were not hurt and mom decided that she could not or would not take care of the boys, I still would have and this would have never made the news.

Since the boys were hurt by ½ of the parents, the government on did their job ½ way. Now I am faced with a monumental task. I will raise the boys in the safest environment as I can provide. I will have to fight in court now and forever to keep the boys safe because the parent in question has rights. Even though she was the one the caused the problem and even admitted to the neglect. Can I trust the courts system to help me or am I just waiting for the system to fail and then the boys will be harmed mentally further?

This is the question that I am faced with and have taken on with out question.

Now with me venting a little, back to the question. My goal is to let the whole United States know what happen and the injustice that has been done. By spreading the word with all the help I can get; I want to have this changed so it would not affect another child and family like this again. If you look at O.J. case laws changed from coast to coast after the incident because of the public out cry. If the injuries happen, like they did to the boys to a wife at the hands of her husband he would have been locked up on the moon. Even if he entered a plea he would not have likely got probation.

The real hero in this story is the oldest that I adopted. At the age of 5 he knew what was right and wrong. He was the one that spoke up and got his 10 mo old brother help. Now I have some biggest 5-year-old shoes to fill and do the same thing as he did and speak up!

[Rockin Ma]

I'm outraged at this injustice!

Thanks Jim for coming here and sharing with us.

It's scary knowing she has rights. Perhaps when faced with a huge child support obligation with arrearages going back to when you received custody, it'll be enough to make her sign over parental rights in exchange for no support obligations. However, I wouldn't make waves with that until she started attempting to gain some access to your kids.

I know the probate courts are always looking for someone to advocate on a child's behalf. You don't get paid for it, at least not in CT, but it does help you have a voice for a child who needs it. Something to think about if you are looking for something to do since you can't change your situation with the sentences.

Best of luck to you and your little ones.

Jim, I went to your myspace and it was just devastating to look at those pictures. My heart just breaks over what happened to little Connor, and you oldest, I have no doubt he is the hero you talk about. He is the definition of a hero, I'm sure he tried on many a time to protect his baby brother only to get hit and terrorized for trying.

My words feel small as I want you to know that my deepest feelings on abuse and children run personal. I cannot understand how one as a mother could ever do such terrible things, beating, burns, breaks, psychological and physical torment....its just too much. I feel so much relief that these beautiful children were taken out of a nightmare. You should know, you too are a hero in every way a father should be. Your boys are blessed to have you in their lives as you are blessed to have them. Take care of one another and give those boys kisses for me....they are the light of your life but you all ready know that.

I love this picture...children being children....be happy and well sweet ones.

Jim, your post brought tears to my eyes and I wish the best for you and your boys ! I read the letter that your oldest son wrote and saw the pictures on your myspace and it all broke my heart. Kids should never have to know this kind of physical and emotional pain.

After reading your posts and seeing your passion for your son's well-being, I'm relieved to see that they have one parent that will fight tooth and nail for them.

You, Jim, are a good father and I hope you know that ! I hope, for both of your son's sake and your's, that your ex will soon be out of your families life.

Jim I just got to the story about what happened to your sons. Im sorry I did not get here sooner. Im going to post this on my myspace pages and my personal blog. What happened to your boys never should have happened. Those pictures just broke my heart. You did the best you could while protecting your children. I would have done the same thing. Everything will come back to them three fold in the course of their pathetic life, have no worries about that they will get their just desserts. Start writing to your state and local government to get the laws in ohio changed. Make them listen. I recently told another member that they need to send letters and documentation every single week. Make them listen to you. Im sure if you wanted the help with the letter campain their are some really great people here who would help with that.
