Jeremiah Swafford

Jeremiah Ray Swafford 

March 17 2006 - February 14 2009

Age: 2 years old 

On December 19 2008, Jeremiah's biological father reported that his son had a black eye, a hand print on his face and bruises all over his body.  On December 30 2008, Jeremiah was brought into Cleveland Regional Medical Center. He had bruises on his body, including a raw, black and blue penis. This poor little tot also had taser marks on his body.

On February 12 2009, Jeremiah's mother put him to bed and he was fine. The next morning, he had a massive bruise on his forehead, he was bearly breathing and he was unconscious. He was airlifted to hospital. Jeremiah passed away shortly after arrival. Both Kathy Swafford, mother, and Dwight Justice, stepfather, denied killing Jeremiah.

People that witnessed the abuse reported that Jeremiah's mother, Kathy Lynn Swafford, laughed while her boyfriend, Dwight Stacy Justice, tased her child. It has also been reported that Kathy frequently slapped, grabbed by the throat and threw her son to the ground.

She admitted I'm questioning that she once caused a sever head injury to Jeremiah by picking him up by his feet and swinging him. Jeremiah hit his head on a  wooden part of the sofa.

On February 7 2012, Dwight Justice died in prison of a brain aneurysm a week after his trail.

Kathy Swafford was sentenced 18-23 years in prison.
