New details have emerged during a bond hearing in Pennsylvania Monday, in connection with an Ohio woman accused of torturing her 7-year-old son.

According to Cleveland.com, Allegheny County Magisterial District Judge Daniel J. Konieczka denied bond for Tiarika Baymon, 32. She’s currently behind bars at the Allegheny County Jail.

Along with endangering the welfare of children, Baymon is facing charges that include:

  • Firearms not to be carried without a license
  • Resisting arrest
  • Recklessly endangering another person
  • Obstructing administration of law or other governmental function
  • False identification to law enforcement authority

As CrimeOnline previously reported, Ross Township police in Pennsylvania arrested Baymon, of Brunswick, Ohio, Sunday night, in connection with an AMBER Alert involving her child.

Deputy Chief Brian Kohlhepp with Ross Township police said the victim had been tortured, and that his mother posted the abuse on Instagram.

“An Instagram video that she had uploaded, which actually showed the child, bound and being tortured by her,” Kohlhepp said.

An arrest warrant reportedly stated that the victim had “a swollen face” with “pepper and irritants” applied to his groin area.

The victim also appeared to have a broken wrist.

“The child was in some significant distress at the time,” Kohlhepp said. “The child definitely had some significant injuries.”

Police found the defendant after tracking her vehicle to a remote, wooded area on William Street in Ross Township. They found her asleep inside her 2014 Ford Escape with a gun on her lap.

“They had to reach in and unfortunately remove her from the car. She didn’t suffer any injuries as a part of that. And the gun actually fell out onto the ground during that exchange,” Kohlhepp said.

First responders took him to the UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh with numerous traumatic injuries, and possible broken bones.

Police said the victim was later taken to the UPMC Mercy burn unit.

During Monday’s bond hearing, Allegheny County Magisterial District Judge Daniel J. Konieczka stated that no bond stipulations could guarantee the victim’s safety.

She’s also facing charges in Ohio. Brunswick police Lt. Christopher Spencer FOX 8 on Monday that she’s been charged with child endangering and that more charges could follow, “as the investigation progresses.”

Her next hearing is scheduled for October 1. Check back for updates.
