Pictures Revealed: Nebraska Couple Jailed for Taping Toddler to Wall

Jayla Hamm and Corde Honea are not even in their 20s but they are overachievers in the despicable derby. The Nebraska couple will both do jail time for using duct tape to afix their young son to the wall.

The boy is only 22-months-old. Mom held him to the wall while dad did the taping.  Did I mention that police say both were high after a night of partying?

The parents even admitted that the boy was not being disciplined — they did this for entertainment.  How did this come to light?

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

In one photo the boy can be  seen struggling to reach a sippy cup that had been taped to the wall just out of reach:

So what’s the punishment for something like this?

Hamm was sentenced to at least 10 days in jail and two years of probation. Honea was sentenced to 36 to 60 months behind bars for intentional child abuse.

The boy has been placed in state custody.

    I have some issues with this case. Initially I questioned why this mother is given 10 days in jail and this boy is given 3 to 5 years in prison. A few minutes of research I discover this boy is also convicted on drug charges, burglary and possession of a stolen handgun. His sentence makes sense.

    This mother, I am not so sure. Some news accounts reports her age as 17, most report her age as 18. Her son is about 2 years old. This is clear she became pregnant around 15 years of age which points to her being removed from high school as “punishment” for her being pregnant.

    This does call into question the quality of this girl’s upbringing but mine is not an indictment. Her parents might be good parents but pregnant at 15 does suggest a possibility of parenting issues.

    My personal opinion is separating this mother and son is not in the best interest of either nor is placing this mother in jail in the best interest of this mother and son. This is not justice, this borders more on revenge by a self-righteous judge.

    From a legal point of view, at 17 this girl is a minor. If 18 an adult. However, based on her background she is still a child. Pregnant at 15, kicked out of high school, not well educated, no doubt still very immature, this mother should be cut some slack. She is a victim in her own right.

    Court supervised probation and mandated parenting classes would be appropriate for this mother. She is to be given a second chance with a generous helping hand and a guiding hand. Chances are very good with some education and counseling, she would become a good mother.

    This mother is truly still a child herself, society will benefit more by helping her become both a good parent and a productive contributing member of society.

    Truth is, this girl has been served injustice.

      Pregnant at 15 when birth control is available to minors without parental consent;when our tax dollars go to the free distribution of condoms by the government health departments. We have grown into a culture where 18 year old sociopaths (Rutgers) are “kids” and 26 year old “adult children” can live the Peter Pan lifestyle. Where is the compassion for the only victim–this child brutalized and traumatized? If these cretins had done this to a dog, PETA would be setting things on fire.

      WAITING 4 GEORGE comments, “Pregnant at 15 when birth control is available to minors without parental consent….”

      This is based on a presumption this girl, at age 15, was aware of those services. My experiences as a public school teacher and practicing crisis intervention counselor informs me very few children of this age are aware of much of anything beyond popping pimples and picking boogers.

      WAITING 4 GEORGE adds, “We have grown into a culture where 18 year old sociopaths….”

      I am not willing to label this girl a sociopath. This condition, being a sociopath, is very rare. Only extensive psychological testing can determine if a person is emotionally dead which is a prerequisite for being a sociopath. If this girl was a sociopath, odds are very high she would have been institutionalized years back.

      Our girl is a clinical psychologist specializing in testing children. During her career, she has not yet discovered a child who is a sociopath. Again, this is very rare.

      What is very common is teenage mothers. This is almost always a result of bad parenting, bad role modeling by her parents, which includes abusive parents. Very typical, teenage mothers are kicked out of school, sometimes kicked out of home and equally typical, teenage mothers are shunned by society. Teenage mothers do not have much of a chance at a good life.

      Odds of this girl being a typical teenage mother are very high, almost a guarantee.

      Becoming a pregnant teenager is a mistake, not a crime. Becoming a teenage mother is a mistake, not a crime. This is wrongful of us to treat a pregnant teenager, to treat a teenage mother, as a criminal. Doing so causes a lot of harm to both mother and child.

      In administration of justice we are always to consider mitigating circumstances. This includes disadvantages of being a teenage mother such as having bad parents, a bad home life, being kicked out of school, being poorly educated, being emotionally immature and certainly being gullible.

      If this young girl mother was beating her child, severely abusing her child, yes, this is a serious concern, especially if this type of abuse was ongoing over time. This duct taping her boy to a wall is wrongful, but I question if this is abuse or if this is a stupid decision inspired by her boyfriend.

      My opinion is this girl will benefit more from supervised help rather than being supervised by a jail guard. Separating a mother and child should be avoided whenever possible; there are long term consequences for both mother and child, especially the child. Sometimes separating a mother and child is the best action. Most often, this is not the best action.

      I say give the girl a chance, give her a helping hand, make an effort at helping her become a responsible parent. This is taking a chance, but is a chance worth taking; she might turn out to be the best of a mother. We will never know if she is denied a second chance at being a good mother.

      Bristol Palin was one of those teenage mothers, yes?

      It has been MY experience that girls as young as 11 (the age of my oldest grandchild) knows all about Planned Parenthood because it IS advocated in public schools across the country. As far as “pregnant at 15 is concerned”, I have driven past schools in the area when schools are letting out, including Jr High, or Middle schools as they are now called, and it looks like a street-walker convention. What do the parents of these girls expect? Validictorian? I also, don’t think Waiting4George was saying that THIS girl was a sociopath. They were making a distinction between 18-year-olds as adults, and 18-year-olds as children as percieved by the liberal culture. One only has to look at the example of these two “parents” set before us to see where the touchy-feely liberal nonsense road has taken us.

      Yes, Bristol Palin was a teenage mother. There are thousands of teenage mothers out there, most of whom have the support of their families, like Bristol. However, there are also teenage mothers who have acted responsibly WITHOUT the support of their families. They have either given the baby for adoption, or
      taken the role of mother seriously. They have actively taken advantage of the miriad of programs to help them succeed. Every community has a well-baby program, and other agencys and churches have programs for these mothers. They DO NOT have to do this alone. Although, I doubt that there are many child rearing programs for “druggies”. There are TOO MANY children that DIE because some bleeding-heart judge gave them back to abusive parents. Too many times I have had to remind people that these are LIVES they are playing with….not pawns on a chessboard. I work with CPS. I’ve SEEN it.

      Only way you could know this is through direct questioning. While you are walking around on a school campus asking young girls if they are familiar with Planned Parenthood and birth control, have you ever been detain by the police and questioned?

      Does knowledge of birth control prevent kids from having sex? Did you, personally, use a condom when you were a teenage boy?

      HEARD ENOUGH CRAP adds, “…when schools are letting out, including Jr High, or Middle schools as they are now called, and it looks like a street-walker convention.”

      This is related to the topic at hand in what way? Do you often check out young girls leaving school?

      HEARD ENOUGH CRAP closes, “One only has to look at the example of these two “parents” set before us to see where the touchy-feely liberal nonsense road has taken us.”

      Then you are aware an unacceptable percentage of children within the child protective services system end up abused, molested, high school dropouts, drug addicts, criminals, killers, or dead.

      Our nationwide Child Protective Services system is well known for being fairly much a failure. CPS is also known for removing children from a family when this should never happen. There are successes, a good percentage, but the failures of CPS tend to be horrific tragedies. Typically, children over five or six years of age, almost never escape a CPS – foster home system. Teenage kids, virtually never escape; nobody wants older children.

      Handing over children to a city government or a state government usually proves to be a mistake.

      JJ COOLAY comments, “And I suppose handing the child back over to the mother who treats her child this way is a better solution?”

      Separating a mother and child is almost never a good solution. Duct taping a boy to a wall is not the crime of the century. Stupid, yes, but not a horrific crime. I will share separating this mother and child traumatized this boy infinitely more than his being duct taped to a wall. Taking away a child’s mother is amongst the most horrific acts of harm which can be inflicted upon a child.

      Of course we are separate mother and child for extreme cases. All of us are aware of circumstances when there is no other choice, this needs no discussion. Duct taping a child to a wall is not one of those extreme cases. This case under discussion, some type of intervention is probably warranted to improve home life for this boy, but separating this mother and child is not warranted.

      My use of “home life” is very important. This duct tape incident is of little importance. Overall home environment is critical. Clearly her “boyfriend” needs to be removed from this scene, needs to be imprisoned for his serious unrelated crimes. This is a step in the right direction; remove a bad influence. Subsequent steps should be to instruct this young mother in good parenting and in how to create a stable and loving home life for her child while making sure she follows those steps.

      She is a teenage mother. Society will do better to lend her a firm but fair helping hand rather than horse whipping her as many here demand be done.

      I look around here in this blog and wonder, “Where is Christian compassion?”

      Nowhere to be found. This is another classic example of Christian hypocrisy.

      Good call, I don’t believe taping your kids to the wall does a bad parent make.It certainly doesn’t qualify as downright child abuse. My 4 boys would beg me to tie them up ,they would tie me up too. They would tie each other up also. Their mother,[my wife] didn’t like it though, They loved it, it was never mean spirited though.We didn‘t tolerate maliciousness and still don’t.Although, it may be considered immature by some, you may not have ever had to deal with a strong willed child. The state says you can apply the rod because that is abuse.The bible says that “foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child ,but the rod of correction will drive it from him”. Biblicly illiterate society is left with nothing but idiotic ways to try to control their kids. At 18 mths. a small stinging switch to the rear side very quickly dispels the foolishness.That is not child abuse that is discipline. That would probably be seen as abuse to some of you.Guess what, it is biblically mandated. “If you do not discipline your children you are delivering them into the hands of satan”All you self rightous perfect people need to lay off.These parents obviously haven’t had the benefit of proper parenting teaching.Those of you who have not disciplined your children ,I hope they continue to live in your basement for another 20 years.These two young parents need to listen to Dr.James Dobsons material on Bringing up Boys, and Dare to discipline series and bibilically based discipline material.I don’t believe they were being malicious and trying to hurt this child. I think it was just childish irresponsibility,like the rest of the fruits of their life [ if the reports are true.]

      CHAS BRONSON does not spare the rod, “The state says you can[not] apply the rod because that is abuse.”

      Boy howdy! Today, my grandpa would be locked up in prison for life. During my childhood I earned myself a bare butt switching at least once a week, sometimes twice a week. I never received a butt switching I did not deserve and I love my grandfather all the more for this.

      I figured out fairly quick his butt switchings did not really hurt, he was gentle most of the time. Grandpa would have me drop my overhauls, bend over and before laying his switch to my bare backside he would explain what I did wrong. Then the switching, overalls back up, then a moral value lecture from grandpa. His switch was a device to have my attention.

      However, when I was really bad, like the time I blasted a cousin’s butt full of bird shot from a shotgun because my cousin made me mad, grandpa would give me a really blistering butt switching and rightfully so.

      Now and then, though, grandpa would have me around behind our barn for a butt switching, “Girl, I have to give you switching,” and he would barely tap me and say, “Now, come on, let’s walk down to the lake to sit a spell and talk.” Grandpa measured his punishment very carefully. He understood some of those things I did, and understood talking would accomplish more than switching.

      This mother up there, she needs a good talking to, not a blistering butt switching.

      If a judge tried to take me away from my grandpa, this judge would find himself looking down the barrel of my grandpa’s shotgun, and grandpa would literally kill the judge to protect his family.

      Grandpa gave all of us kids butt switchings and grandpa never allowed anyone to mess with his family. When one of us did wrong, grandpa dealt with this, not some judge sitting behind a bench.

      I learned a lot from those butt switchings; grandpa helped me to grow up to be a good person and I love him dearly for this. This duct tape mother, I am sure she never received a butt switching from her grandpa nor her daddy. There is the true problem.

      CHAS BRONSON, a quick story for you I know you will appreciate.

      I am over at a rental to discuss with tenants if I should evict them or not for persistent problems paying their rent. I am willing to give them a second chance, actually third or fourth chance. Those two have a five year old boy. Parents are sitting on a couch, I am standing and working at talking with them, explaining this not paying rent is a serious problem.

      Darn boy of their keeps interrupting, keeps tugging at his momma’s pant leg, “I want ice cream”. She says, “Just a minute.” Boy keeps on, “I want a cookie” he is told “Just a minute”. On and on, boy whines and cry, “I want this, I want that”, “Just a minute”, “Just a minute”.

      Really annoys me, “Would you mind taking your boy outside so I can at least talk with one of you?” Neither move, boy whines and cries, momma keeps saying “Just a minute.”

      Enough! I grab the boy, raise him up quick and (gently) knock his head on the ceiling, then put him back down, “There you are, boy, now you have something to whine and cry about.” Does this boy ever take to screaming and crying, scared the crap out of him. The boy runs right to momma and buries his face on her shoulder.

      Tell them, “I made my decision. I am evicting you,” and I am out the door.

      I figure if those parents will not discipline their boy, they will not discipline themselves. They will continue to be problem tenants. Doubtful any lessons were learned.

      If momma and daddy were not so big, I would have jerked both off their couch and banged their heads on the ceiling, and not gently, “Do I have your attention? I am thinking to evict you and this will seriously effect your lives.”

      I am sure this duct tape mother was not discipline by her parents and her parents did not discipline themselves. This judge who took away her boy has no concept of appropriate discipline. This judge handed down punishment, not discipline.

      This judge needs to have his head smashed clean through his ceiling and up between the rafters then left dangling for a day or two so he will have time to think.

      Unsupervised children will do crazy things to each other. Parents are responsible for teaching children how to behave. No one can seriously believe that this is appropriate parenting.

      I do think that these two young Parents are probably victims of their own childhoods and environments. Some compassion is reasonable in dealing with them, but as a parent myself, I know that you don’t teach proper behavior by accepting and rationalizing bad behavior. They need some measure of punishment to make them understand the fault in their action.

When children are teased and treated with disrespect by their own family…parents who are supposed to cherish them, it really distorts their view of the world and sets them up to be a victim or victimizer for the rest of their life. I still have problems with receiving gifts because of the thoughtless pranks (that were actually abusive) I received from my parents and siblings.

I must stop typing now, and go get the tissues from my son , before he eats them!

      If they weren’t high and doing it FOR disciplinary reasons (such as the kid won’t sit down when told), I think it’s a great idea. After all, these days spanking your kids is considered barbaric.

      No no… let’s leave drugs out of this!! They certainly couldn’t have ANYTHING to do with impaired judgment. (End sarcasm)

      Im not saying people dont do stupid things because some people do. But using drugs isnt helping matters.

      Wait……36 to 60 months behind bars. Mike Tyson did less time for rape. There must be something something else going on. A public beat down would be way better.

      Is the kids face blurred to protect his identity or to hide the fact that he was laughing. Which would kill the narrative being painted. Unless there is blood, bruises or broken bones, And an intention to do serious bodily harm. I don’t believe the state had any right to do anything here. Taping a child to a wall is not abuse. A picture can say a thousand words, All speculation. I also used to tie up my sister and dance around her acting like an Indian. I guess according to you I belong in jail. My dad used to tie us both up playing with us as kids, Does he belong in jail? All these years I’ve been blaming liberals for the government intrusion into parental rights, anti spanking laws, turning children against their parents.
      I guess I was wrong. Its all you self righteous freaks on both sides that want to indoctrinate our children with your crap.

      Though some may feel this was harmless, i have had 7 children 3 grandchildren and NEVER would i have found this humorous. It is the behavior of such that leads to children being bullies because they were done so.

      I have had 7 children and 3 grandchildren….NEVER would I deem this funny. Not even if a sibling did this(kilkman). This behavior only teaches children to bully others, that it is ok to use force(2 adults vs 1 toddler) We have enough children dieing from the trauma of being bullied.

      Taping the kid to the wall???? What’s the problem??? Did they hurt him —or teach him the consequences of bad behavior?

      If the kid grows up without restraint and kills someone in a hysterical rage, should the cops tape him to a wall or put him in a jail cell? Which is a learning moment and when should the kid learn the lesson?

      There is a very vivid line between discipline, i.e. spanking, and beating. I can’t imagine any child laughing about THIS treatment. Children have to taught that they WILL be held accountable for their behavior, but at what age is that appropriate? The age of accountability is certainly NOT 22 months! However, because of liberal laws that term touching a child of ANY age abuse, parents are left with few tools with which to govern undesirable behavior. Therefore, children grow up thinking they are ENTITLED to behave in any manor that suits them, and often find themselves behind bars. Go figure!
