Illinois Man Takes Plea After Sewing His Teenage Son’s Butt Shut

[Dakota Valkyrie]

A Waukegan man took a plea deal that kept him out of prison for an incident in which he took a needle and thread to his son’s buttocks.

Randy Swopes, 52, represented himself in court Friday to accept a plea deal that sentenced him to 24 months of probation and 250 hours of public service for the January 2008 incident, according to Assistant State’s Attorney Danielle Pascucci.

Swopes’ son was 14 at the time of the incident. The teenager has Crohn’s Disease, which is an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system destroys healthy tissue, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

Swopes’ son was suffering from a fistula at the time of the offense. A fistula is an abnormal connection between an organ and another structure.

The teenage boy had a fistula in his butt and his father opted to sew it shut himself rather than take his son to the hospital, Pascucci said. The 14-year-old wound up in the hospital for almost a month because the wound became infected, she said.

just...what!!1!??

This poor boy needs to be removed from this idiot's care. My oldest girl cousin died from Crohn's disease, she had a heart attack in her 30's, because she was dehydrated from the constant diarhhea. It's dangerous stuff.

Google here I come. You learn something new everyday on the DD. This guy is a piss poor excuse for a parent. What was he too fucking cheap? The boy is 14, in most states kids are covered under state medicare until 21... Or is that just Tennessee? I love TennCare lol. Had my baby at 19 and becoz I had been in school and was 19 I didn't have to pay for it, all my kids pediatrician/dentist visits were covered as well.

I was on Medicaid past 21 here, and they paid for everything for my daughter and I. Of course, ours went by income, and I didn't make a whole lot even though I worked 50 hours a week.

Why would ANY parent even attempt this. I hate holding my son for shots. I make the nurses do it, because I just can not inflict pain on him.

WAUKEGAN, IL –*The father in Illinois who used a needle and thread to sew his teenage son’s ass shut has avoided jail time by taking a plea.
Back in 2008, 52-year-old Randy Swopes employed a particularly crude home remedy on his 14-year-old son’s ass that ended with his son staying in the hospital for a spell and him getting charged with aggravated battery.
