Lynn Paddock on Trial for Death of 4-year-old
Lynn Paddock, charged with murder in 2006, was on trial lastweek for the murder of her 4-year-old son Sean. She wrapped him in blankets at night to keep in him bed and suffocated him.
She and her ex-husband, Johnny, adopted 6 children between the mid-1990’s and 2005 when Sean and his biological brother and sister were the last to be placed with the family. Most of the children had emotional issues and “other families didn’t want them”. They learned of older children adoptions through the Dave Thomas Foundation.
Upon accepting the children she and her husband decided to use the discipline techniques of Rev. Michael Pearl: swatting children with flexible plastic rods, quick punishment, and making sure not to bring self esteem down (and you have GOT TO READ THIS! because there is no way in all get out that any foster child would obey their newly adoptive parents in this manner!)
Lynn Paddock denied claims by some of the children that she wrapped their faces in duct tape or forced Sean and his sister to eat feces. She said she did make Sean’s brother eat his own vomit, but said she thought he was acting out like two of the other children.
I’m wondering why the social worker didn’t pick up on the abuse but she stated that Paddock lied about hitting the children. Hmmm…how can you possibly hide that much?
