Horrible: A 4-Year-Old Girl Found Beaten And Abused, Said She Thought Her Name Was "Idiot!"

The 4-year-old girl had deep purple bruises, a black eye, a swollen cheek and a mark on her forehead.



She also had healing scars across her back, dried blood in the corner of her mouth and ligature marks on her wrist, authorities said.



When a police officer asked her what her name was, she had a startling response: “Idiot.”



Her mother’s live-in boyfriend, police said, regularly called the child “Idiot” instead of using her actual name. He also zip-tied the girl to her bed as a form of punishment, according to a police report.



Clarence Reed, 47, and the child’s mother, Jennifer Denen, 30, both of Hot Springs, Ark., are now charged with domestic battery, permitting abuse of a minor and endangering welfare of a minor.
