Redding couple sentenced to prison for child abuse

A young Redding couple who reportedly admitted that their 3-year-old daughter was not safe with them has been sentenced to prison for physically abusing the girl.



Kevin Sanchez, 22, and his wife, Elizabeth Marie Sanchez, 24, were sentenced to six and four years in prison, respectively, after pleading guilty and no contest to child abuse, the Shasta County District Attorney's Office announced Thursday on its Facebook page.

"Both parents stated individually that they told each other of the physical abuse toward the victim," Redding Police investigator Michael DiMatteo wrote in a May 9 report filed with the Shasta County Superior Court after their arrest. "It was during these conversations that they discussed putting the victim up for adoption in fear of what could happen to her should see stay in the home with them."

The couple was arrested May 7 on suspicion of child cruelty after their 3-year-old daughter was taken to Mercy Medical Center in Redding for treatment of what turned out to be a hairline fracture to her knee. They said the injury was from an accidental fall.
But medical staff quickly called police after observing multiple bruises on the girl’s body, according to a Redding Police report. Additionally, X-rays revealed she had a healing fracture to her left arm.

Kevin Sanchez, the girl's stepfather, took a plea bargain this week before he was set to have his preliminary hearing on Wednesday.
In exchange for his no contest plea, he was sentenced to six years in prison. Sanchez must serve 85 percent of his prison sentence, or little more than five years, before being eligible for parole.
His plea is also considered a "strike" offense, said Deputy District Attorney Sarah Murphy, who prosecuted the case.
Elizabeth Marie (Wagnon) Sanchez, 24, was sentenced last week to four years in prison after she pleaded guilty to child abuse.

The child’s mother told Mercy Medical Center personnel that her daughter hurt her knee after falling from a small chair she was jumping on. She said the bruises on her daughter were the result of her daughter being “clumsy and always falling,” the police report said.
Asked about the child’s arm fracture, Sanchez said did not know how she suffered it, adding her husband looks after her during the daytime as she works.

During an interview with Kevin Sanchez at the couple's C Street apartment, he said his stepdaughter injured her arm when he “accidentally” shut a screen door on it, according to the police report. But he later admitted that he intentionally shut the screen door on the girl’s arm out of anger, the police report said. He also said he hurt her leg by accident when he was playing with her,
Sanchez later confessed to causing the girl’s bruises, saying he had lost his temper a number of times with her after growing frustrated by her behavior and threw toys at her — and even sat on her until she yelled out — as forms of punishment.

Additionally, he would grab her chest and arms in fits of anger and would squeeze her as hard as he could, the report said.

Elizabeth (Wagnon) Sanchez told officers she’s bipolar and had physically abused her daughter, including slapping her on the face and grabbing her shoulders, over the past few days and weeks, the police report said.

“She described losing control and physically striking” the girl when her husband was not at home, the police report said, adding that both also hit her with a belt.

About a month before their arrest, she said, she placed her hand over her daughter's mouth, allowing her only a small space in which to breathe, as she held her down and repeatedly slapped and struck the girl with a belt, the report said. Her husband intervened and pushed her off the child.

According to the police report, the couple considered putting the girl up for adoption out of fear for the child's safety, but Elizabeth (Wagnon) Sanchez said they never did because adoption was "against her religion."
Although she told police she "loves her daughter to death," she admitted the child "is not safe" with them, the police report said.

Saddly, David family will be burying young David, and any financial help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering contributing to this go-fund-me campaign.
