Crime Alard hourly update, breaking crime news Now. I'm Nicole Pardon.
A twenty year old woman from Ohio is currently facing
legal allegations for allegedly assaulting an eleven year old girl
at a playground. Disturbing cell phone footage released by the
victim's parents reportedly captured the incident, which shows the woman
physically attack the little girl. The incident report from the
(00:23):
Kenton Police Department states that Destiny Scott repeatedly slammed the
child's head against a metal part of a slide. During
the altercation, she allegedly made a threatening remark to the
child's mother page expressing a wish that her daughter would die.
The child's mother, Paige DeShong, voiced her frustration in a
recent interview, saying there needs to be more serious consequences
(00:47):
than just a misdemeanor for assault and disorderly conduct. She
could have killed my child, now what you.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Will kick write her fl like it's ridiculous and the
police aren't part fighting any protection from my child. And
there should definitely be a lot more done about this
than a misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct. To Destiny as
two hundred and seventy pounds. She is nineteen years old.
My daughter is one hundred and ten pounds. She could
have killed.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Her, according to police reports. Officers were dispatched to the
sixteen hundred block of Clark Avenue on Friday following a
report of an assault at a local park. The victim
recounted the experience, saying the girl came up behind me,
grabbed my hair, and threw me to the ground. Upon arrival,
officers found Scott at the scene engaged in a verbal
(01:37):
dispute with the child's mother regarding what had happened. Authorities
noted that the confrontation appeared to arise from an unspecified
disagreement between the woman and the girl. Scott has been
charged with assault, disorderly conduct, and obstructing official business in
connection with the incident. She pleaded not guilty during her
arraignment on Tuesday, and is scheduled to return court for
(02:00):
pre trial proceedings next week. Or Crime and Justice News
after this and now to Kentucky at a hearing over
Josh Bevin's efforts to intervene in the divorce case of
his adoptive parents. Former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin and his
(02:21):
ex wife Glenna lawyers debated a flurry of motions and
offer sharply different claims about Jonah's care. The recent filings
even raise questions about the boy's age, whether he is
eighteen as he believed, or just seventeen because of a
conflict in records. Matt Bevin, in filings on Friday, said
(02:41):
Jonah's claims of neglect, abandonment, and abuse are not grounded
in fact or law, and are instead intended to gain
media attention and outrage.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
The truth is entirely different than it is heartbreaking to
Matt to see his son caught up in this web,
it said, adding that Jonah is deeply loved by his
entire family and cites Matt Bevan's unshakable love and commitment
for his adopted son. Glenna Bevan, in a separate filing,
said she is very sad about the contentious legal proceedings,
(03:13):
adding she loves her son Jonah and desires only the
best for him. Both Matt and Glenna Bevan are subject
to protective orders barring them from contact with Jonah, who
sought the orders last month in Jefferson Family Court, alleging
they attempted to send him on hastily back to Ethiopia,
where they adopted him from, saying go back there and
(03:35):
live with your birth mother. The boy found out his
birth mother is dead. Don Post, a child advocate and
lawyer representing Jonah, said she has not been able to
find any evidence that there is anyone alive for the
boy in Ethiopia. Jonah, in a filing Monday, restated his
allegations that he was abandoned by the former governor and
(03:55):
his wife in Jamaica after child welfare authorities closed the
Atlantis Youth Academy for abuse and neglect, removing all of
the residents and leaving him for a time in the
custody of the Jamaican child welfare system because his adoptive parents,
the governor and his wife, refused to pick him up
in Jamaica, Where is the love my parents said they
(04:18):
have for me, said the boy. Other parents came to
get their kids, he said in an Affidavid, my parents
either lied or just left out the truth because they
never came to pick me up. I waited, and I waited.
They just never came. Jefferson Family Court judge Angela Johnson
heard arguments over whether to permit Jonah to intervene in
the Bevans divorce case in order to prevent them from
(04:40):
reaching a confidential settlement. The Courier Journal also is objecting
to keeping such a settlement private, saying court records generally
are open to the public. Jonah asked to intervene in
the case to protect his interest, including any potential child
support or educational benefits he would have received from his
adoptive family, but Mark Dobbins, a lawyer for Glenna Bevan,
(05:04):
argued Monday that Kentucky law does not permit a child
to intervene in appearent's divorce. He acknowledged that the case
involves a quote super sad situation, but said what Jonah
is seeking is not allowed under Kentucky law. John helmer Is,
a lawyer for Jonah, said the teen should be allowed
to have a voice in the case. We asked that
the court permit him to at least have a voice,
(05:26):
a simple saying in what could happen to his potential inheritance.
Michael Abbett, a lawyer for The Courier Journal, said court
records are presumed to be public in Kentucky absent of
a compelling reason. The fact that Matt Bevin was governor
and Glenna Bevin as the First Lady, made improving foster
care an adoption a primary goal. Heighten's public interest in
(05:47):
the outcome of this divorce case, he said. Johnson, the judge,
said she will try to rule as soon as possible,
telling the lawyers quote, You've given me a lot to
