Mom superglued injured son

SAN ANTONIO – A civilian at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston was arrested Wednesday for nearly pulling off her 6-year-old son's genitals because she was angry with him, and then using superglue to try to repair them, court records said.

The FBI charged Jennifer Marie Vargas, 34, with assault within maritime and territorial jurisdiction resulting in serious bodily injury. She faces up to 10 years in prison.

A criminal complaint affidavit said the child's father, who is enlisted in the Army, returned to his home from work Sept. 27 and found his son crying in an upstairs bedroom.

The father saw bloody tissue in the boy's underwear and a severe injury to his scrotum, and took him to the San Antonio Military Medical Center, the affidavit said.

There, he was found to have a laceration to his scrotum that was 4 centimeters long and he had bruising to his penis area, the affidavit said.

“Due to the child's extreme physical pain, the medical staff had to administer medication,” the affidavit said. “The child was taken into surgery to repair the damage to his scrotum.”

The child is recovering from the surgery and remains in his father's custody.

Vargas, the affidavit said, admitted to agents that while angry with the boy she grabbed him by the scrotum and pulled him to her as hard as she could, “thereby ripping his 'sack' and causing a laceration.”

Vargas told agents she cleaned the wound with alcohol and then tried to fix it with superglue, the affidavit said.

“She applied superglue to the (boy's) scrotum until the bleeding stopped, stuffed his underwear with paper towels, and then told him to go to bed,” the affidavit said. “Vargas did not seek any type of medical treatment for the child.”

U.S. Magistrate Judge Pamela Mathy ordered Vargas detained without bond pending a bail hearing Monday, where prosecutors will argue that she continue to remain jailed.

Vargas was not charged until now because the matter still was under investigation.

Federal investigators said they are looking at previous states where the couple lived to see if there have been any prior interactions with child protection agencies in the past.

“We have not dealt with this family before,” Child Protective Services spokeswoman Mary Walker said Wednesday.

The lack of prior CPS involvement sits in contrast another notorious child abuse case that came to light earlier this month.

Police said 9-month-old Michael Rene Sanchez Jr. was found dead at his mother's Northeast Side home — stiff, cold and tightly wrapped in wet blankets. His mother had been under investigation by CPS for neglectful supervision since before the child was born.

Bexar County had 6,205 confirmed child-abuse cases in 2012 — the highest rate of any county in Texas, including Harris. Of those, 19 involved children who died.

There now just getting to charge this woman, outrageous.  I shed a tear for his pain.  For a man I think scrotum pain is worse of any pain.  I've had bad shoulder pain that required surgery and massive back pain but none of these compare to a pinched scrotum.  And for a six year old to endure that is just heart breaking.  William

This poor little boy.  I hope he never has to see her again, except maybe in court.

i wonder if this is a mental illness case as well

Angry Texas Mom Gets Prison for Tearing Son's Genitals

A San Antonio woman has been sentenced to two years in prison for tearing her 6-year-old son's genitals during a rage and then trying to repair the wound using glue.

The sentence imposed Thursday for 34-year-old Jennifer Vargas includes five years of supervised release. She had pleaded guilty earlier to an assault charge.

An FBI complaint shows Vargas was arrested Sept. 27 at the family's home at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston. It's not clear why Vargas became so angry that she grabbed the boy's genitals.

The father came home later to find his son crying in his room, discovered the wound and took him to a military hospital. The child required surgery.

An emotional Vargas expressed regret in court Thursday for her actions.
