Another Target Child in the home while others are untouched

Jessie & Delores Roach

TULSA - An east Tulsa couple was arrested Tuesday for abusing and neglecting their six-year-old child.

The boy's injuries are so severe he may require skin grafts on his scalp and forehead, police say.
Forty-nine-year-old Jessie Roach and Delores Roach, 28, are being held in the Tulsa County Jail on $250,000 bond for the alleged abuse.

The couples is accused of not properly feeding the child, Delores' son. In a court document, the boy said his step-father makes him stand at the end of the hall while the rest of the family ate.
Doctors weighed the boy at 34 pounds, well below the average for a six-year-old child, and found cuts on his scalp and forehead and "extensive bruises on his face, back, arms, and thigh, and a broken clavicle."

The Roach's took the child to a doctor when Tulsa Public Schools sent a letter home inquiring about the boy's growing absence total. DHS and TPD were notified following the exam.
Tulsa police officer Jason Willingham says the Roach's explanations for the injuries didn't add up. Delores claims she's a nurse and says that's why they didn't go to the doctor.

"It does sicken you. It does make you angry," said Renee, a neighbor. "Sometimes you wonder, you wonder about your neighbors. What really goes on behind and you hope things like that don't go on."

The boy's father has given up paternal rights, according to court documents.

Two other children reside in the home -- neither have signs of abuse.

This is sad. Poor kiddo. I'm betting he was singled out cause he is her son. I'm betting the two other kids in the house are his children. That pisses me off. This bitch is letting this nasty, ugly piece of shit abuse her child. How fucking nice. Let him torture your kid while his play x-box. That's just bullshit. I hope this little boy ends up in a loving happy home.

she didn't use to be that heartless i dated delores for four years back when she was a teenager. Delores was a cheating bitch but loved children. The child that was abused was probably from father wesely perryman and delores her husband and the birth father who gave up his rights need to burn in hell for that poor child. I am now married for nearly seven years with a beautiful three year old daughter and it pains me to think if i would have stayed how she would treat my girl. But of course if she had even thought of harming our child she would have met my blade.

I'm not sure how much she participated actively in the abuse as it sounds like the step dad was the ring leader while she just sat back and let it happen. That is equal to being just as guilty in my book. If you stick around long enough on the site you will see it time and time again where a woman puts her bedmate above her child. It's sick, sad and frankly pisses me off to no end.

I'm assuming she didn't have a child when you dated. It's a lot different to "love" children when you don't have to take care of them 24/7 and be their mother. It's always fun to play with someone else's child and then give it back to mommy when it needs something. It would appear after she had a child she didn't so much care to be a good mother or too love her child more than a man. It appears your ex was in different to the suffering of her child. She chose that ugly vile man she calls her husband over her son. That poor child sufferred and was left to suffer with broken bones starving to death. No child deserves that. I agree with you they do need to rot in Hell for what they've done to this child. I pray he recovers well and finds a family that will love him the way his mother didn't.

I am heartbroken for the kid to have such a nasty bastard for male role model.. hopefully he will stay in jail, hope they both get their asses kicked while there so they see what the fck they doing to this baby... I just don't know how a "mother" allows this... I wish i could hold this kid and tell reassure him that childhood does not last forever... One day that bitch mama you got will need you... but i would say I am glad the school is on top of this...

Oh, geez. I really hope that little boy is placed with someone who can show him love and respect. :( I have no words.
Broken clavicle? How utterly painful.
