DAYTON — A Trotwood mother accused of severely beating her foster child while trying to potty train him was indicted and arrested Tuesday, Dec. 22, on a felony child endangering charge.

Charmaine McCutchen, 44, is accused of striking her 4-year-old foster child in the abdomen.

If convicted, McCutchen faces between two and eight years in prison.

The toddler, born with fetal alcohol syndrome and who has “developmental delays,” was taken to Dayton Children’s Medical Center on July 9 with severe abdominal pain and vomiting, Trotwood police said.

Emergency room doctors informed officers they suspected he might have been abused, authorities said.

The boy had emergency surgery the next day and spent two months in the hospital, Trotwood Detective Natalie Watson said.

The alleged assault occurred during toilet training, Watson said.

Police said the toddler initially indicated he had been hurt by “his mommy. He had two people he called his mommy so it was unclear what had happened,” Watson said.

The boy’s biological mother has supervised visitation rights, police said. McCutchen has two other biological sons of her own.

In later interviews, the child said, “Mommy with the two boys hurt me” and “Charmaine hit my tummy,” police said.

When police attempted several times to interview McCutchen, including a voice-stress test, “She backed out,” Detective Steve Derringer said.

Prosecutors approved the charge in October and sent it to a grand jury, which handed up the indictment Dec. 8.

It took authorities six months to get the indictment because of medical records and forensic evidence needed to secure charges, said Greg Flannagan, the county prosecutor’s office spokesman.

The boy had been in McCutchen’s care for almost two years, Watson said.

He has since been placed in a different foster home.

“He’s doing much better, putting on weight and thriving,” Watson said. “He’s a different kid.”

Montgomery County Children’s Services spokesman Tim Harshaw said McCutchen was contracted with another agency to house foster children.

The agency has no prior cases involving McCutchen’s biological children, but Harshaw said officials will do an assessment of her home in response to her arrest.

  1. The following injustice is happening right now, in Montgomery County, Texas, under our laws and in our courts.

    I was recently massacred in a 3 1/2+ year custody battle for my 6 year old daughter.

    http://www.courthouseforum.com Judge Suzanne Stovall

    Convicted child molesters have more access to their children than I do.
    I am completely alienated from my 6 year old daughter.
    All calls and letters are intercepted, and I have no visitation.
    The mother completely alienated her older children from their father for 15 1/2 years in the same way.
    Judge Stovall punished me with 20% +$100 monthly child support.
    She inconsistently ruled on motions, laws, or rules to favor the mother.
    My lawyers repeatedly complained that she favored the mother.
    For 3 years, I pleaded for a trial or in some way, to present a case.
    Despite 3 years of hearings, Rule 11's, hundreds of emails, letters, and conversations, Judge Stovall refused to compel the mother to provide discovery, yet granted the mother 4 trial continuances; twice on the grounds that her discovery was incomplete; one of which was a preferentially set trial.
    She disregarded over 3 years and over 300, exhibited, provable charges of Contempt of Court against the mother.
    I paid the jury fee and insisted on a trial, which never came.
    When I received a copy of the Final Decree, it was significantly different, even opposite, to what had been read into the record.
    I refused to sign and adamantly insisted on a trial but Judge Stovall signed the settlement that she knew would totally alienate me from my daughter.
    Perjury, forged letters, falsified evidence, unsupported, inconsistent, and unchallenged false accusationns, by the mother, CPS, et al., outweighed exhaustive undisputed facts, certified evidence, sworn statements, and objective/testable/verifiable documentation disproving the accusations and proving neglect and abuse by the mother.
    For years, the mother has secreted our daughter to doctors, and medicated her.
    For at least 15 months, the mother yo-yoed my daughter on steroids.
    But when pediatricians and specialists examined, x-rayed, diagnosed, and ordered treatment for my daughter, for a worsening condition, the mother refused to comply.
    The opposite diagnosis and falsified evidence of an undereducated CPS investigator, prevailed over the professionals, with Judge Stovall.
    Even with the mother's sworn statements of medically abusing/neglecting my daughter and with the doctors corroborating records of her mistreatment, Judge Stovall took my daughter from me and placed her into her mother’s sole custody.
    The mother continues to deliberately, medically mistreat my daughter's diagnosed medical condition(s), neglects her dental care, and the high risk lifestyles exposes my daughter to diseases.
    Depositions, CISD records, Sworn statements, and other Certified and Certifiable evidence revealed a home with an AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT FELON, wrist CUTTING, daily VIOLENCE, runaway teen, destruction, criminals, drug abuse (METH, COCAINE, XANAX, OXYCOTIN, etc), frequent police visits and a SEARCH WARRANT confiscated drug paraphernalia, multiple sex partners, multiple suspensions for drugs and violence, burglary, vandalism, shootings, disease, fighting, screaming, profanity, pornography (including BEASTIALITY), boys and men sleeping over, taking my daughter to sleep at men’s homes, and so much more.
    My daughter is taught obscene language and gestures.
    The mother provided SEXUALLY VIOLENT material and entertainment to her criminal teen children since they were young.
    The well paid mother has lived rent and utilities free for 3 ½ years but is deep in debt from undisclosed medical bills.
    My fees and expenses have exceeded $200,000.
    I will never, ever, ever give up trying to rescue my daughter.

    I have recorded nearly every contact with the mother, CPS, and many others.

    PLEASE HELP MY DAUGHTER!
