According to (Sly)FoxNews:

According to the suit filed against the couple, James picked up Cheryl’s 4-year old son from pre-school and the teacher said the boy “misbehaved by coloring on a table”. The documents claim the gospel singer “scolded the toddler” on the way home, put him in time out at home, “continued to yell and berate the child” then started “preparing a scalding bath” for the 4-year old boy.

The lawsuit goes on to say “James instructed (the child) to remove his clothes and began to whip the naked toddler with a switch”. Then the suit accuses James Fortune of “pushing the toddler in the scalding water and holding him down causing second and third degree burns to 47% of his body”. The little boy was flown by “life flight to Memorial Hermann Hospital. The doctors determined the injuries were too extensive and the boy was flown by life flight to Shriners Burn Hospital in Galveston where he remained for 63 days” according to the lawsuit.

^^^^^^^^^^^
that’s pure evil. no ?

still dont know the ENTIRE story but it seems cheryl deserves a swift dropkick to the jugular. i am disgusted.

More than likely, they couldn’t prove that the father was actually trying to cause harm to the child. Perhaps what he thought was just a “hot bath” to soothe the switch wounds was, in fact, too hot for the child? Maybe it wasn’t intentional?

^^^^^^^^^^
the use of a switch on a 4 y.o. can be considered abuse, let alone trying to soothe said swith wounds w/ a SCOLDING bath. it dont take a whole day to recognize sunshine. furthermore, he PLED guilty (not no contest) to felony injury to a child — he admitted his intent

FYI: it’s really PLEADED (not pled) guilty. i forgot.

I like saying “sneaked” and arguing when people say “snuck”

^^^^^^^^^
soooooooooo ….. is it sneaked or snuck ? ? ?

answer : The past tense of sneak is sneaked, according to the AP style guide. Snuck is becoming more popular and may supplant “sneaked” but not officially….thus far.

sneaked

Due to common usage, the dictionary now lists the rather vulgar snuck as an option, but sneaked is the original past tense form.

James Fortune issued this statement:

I recently became aware of a civil suit pending against my wife, Cheryl Fortune and I, for an incident that occurred in 2001 involving my stepson. There was a criminal investigation and all matters were resolved in 2003. Since that time, my family and I, including my stepson, have continued with family traditions and always have a loving family environment. We are shocked by this lawsuit but understand people are free to use the court system to pursue claims, whether they contain merit or baseless matters. We are confident through this process, if it proceeds to a judge or jury, the ultimate decision maker will render a decision that is favorable to the circumstances and timing surrounding this situation. We believe in our American justice system and know it will work for us as it has for millions of other Americans.

I love all my children, including my stepson, and I ask for your prayers as we deal with this matter privately. Thank you for your continued support for me, my family, and ministry.
