SMH: Woman Facing Assault Charges After 1-Year-Old Returns Home With Multiple Bruises Following “Potty Training Boot Camp”

Woman Faces Assault Charges After Toddler Returns From Potty Training Boot Camp With Bruises via Huffington Post A Maui woman is currently on trial for allegedly injuring a 17-month-old boy during a potty-training “boot camp.” Maui News reports that on the morning of May 1, 2013, the toddler’s mother dropped him off at Rebecca Stapp’s rented Waiehu residence for “Potty Camp,” Stapp’s business that aids children in toilet-training. “The first day of potty camp is the last day your child will wear a diaper,” the company’s website boasts. According to Deputy Prosecutor Justine Hura, when the toddler’s mother picked him up that afternoon, Stapp readily offered an explanation for symmetrical bruising visible on the toddler’s legs and near his groin. The boy’s mother examined him more thoroughly later on and found additional bruising on his back, leading her to report the injuries to the police, according to Maui News. When questioned later that day, “the defendant told several stories about what happened to account for the injuries,” none of which were consistent with the bruising, Hura said. According to the Associated Press, pediatrician Norka Wilkinson examined the boy the day after he visited Stapp’s business. “What struck me was it was in a very particular area … the fact that it was close to the core of the body,” Wilkinson testified. “Those are areas that are common to be non-accidental. Those would be bruises that would be very suspicious in my opinion.” When asked by Stapp’s attorney if diaper rash might be a possibility, Wilkinson responded: “It doesn’t look like diaper rash to me. It looks like bruises.” Stapp, 39, is pleading not guilty to the charge of third-degree assault on the toddler. Shutterstock
