A stupid cruel mother and her boyfriend taped her 22-month-old toddler on wall using industrial duct tape. The boy’s arms are restrained behind his back, his hands taped to the wall. His face is obscured in the images but police say he was terrified.

The 22-month-old toddler was stuck to a wall in his home by industrial duct tape after his mother had been ‘partying’ with her lover at her home near Lincoln, Nebraska.

Jayla Hamm,18, even held her helpless son against the wall while boyfriend Corde Honea,19, taped his wrists, legs and body.

Hamm and Honea then took these pictures of the crying child and further taunted him by taping his favourite drinking cup just outside his reach.

The couple’s callous actions were only discovered when Hamm showed the pictures to a friend, who immediately alerted police.

Police then seized the digital camera containing the photos of the boy.

One picture shows him straining to release himself from his bonds, his arms bent back in an uncomfortable position as his hands are taped to the wall.

The stupid couple taped the boy’s favourite drinking cup on the wall… just out of his reach.

Honea was sentenced to 36 to 60 months in prison for intentional child abuse. He was also jailed for 24 to 60 months for a separate charge of burglary and 12 to 24 months for possession of a stolen firearm.

Before sentencing, Honea told the court: ‘I can’t fully believe what happened on those days. I do take full responsibility. I do find it even more troubling that I can do that.’

The prosecutor in the case said: ‘[The boy] was terrified. You can see that from looking at the pictures.’

Police chief Bruce Lang said: ‘They did it because they thought it was funny.’

OK, this is Not Funny At All!
