An unsettling case has emerged from Indiana, where a mother and father are incarcerated following a distressing incident involving their 7-year-old daughter. The child suffered severe injuries, which medical professionals fear may be fatal, as the father reportedly stood by passively during the ordeal.

The mother, Jennifer Revis, aged 33, faces severe charges including neglect of a dependent resulting in catastrophic injury, aggravated battery, and domestic battery causing serious harm to a person under 14. Her partner, 28-year-old Ryan Revis, is charged with neglect of a dependent leading to catastrophic injury.

Authorities were alerted to the situation when law enforcement officers were dispatched to a residence on West Commercia Street in Hartford City. This location, about 80 miles northeast of Indianapolis, became the focal point of attention after a report of an unresponsive child reached the police on a Tuesday afternoon. The details were disclosed in a probable cause affidavit sourced by Indianapolis’s Fox affiliate WXIN and Fort Wayne’s ABC affiliate WPTA.

Jennifer Revis initially told authorities that her daughter had suffered a seizure following a disagreement. However, upon the child’s admission to a medical facility, physicians identified multiple bruises across her body and significant brain trauma. The medical team concluded that these injuries were not accidental, with bleak prognoses regarding her survival, as cited in the affidavit.

In an effort to piece together the sequence of events, detectives conducted separate interviews with both parents. This investigation allegedly revealed a deeply disturbing narrative that has since shocked the community.

According to the mother, the incident that set the events in motion was when the girl pushed her brother. Jennifer Revis initially claimed she grabbed her daughter before the girl  had a seizure after the dog bit her. But the further cops delved into her story, they reportedly uncovered “abhorrent” abuse over a period of time.

The mother said she flew into a “rage” over the girl disrespecting her, though she was unable to articulate what the victim actually did or said to set her off, the affidavit reportedly stated. She did reportedly say she used a hammer to hit the girl”s hands and feet, and slapped and punched the girl.

“I can’t tell right from wrong anymore,” she allegedly said. “I see rage, bro, when she talks to me like that, I just see rage and I don’t know. I just lost it.”

Jennifer Revis reportedly said “she’s awful to deal with” and mentioned prior abuse.

“I did beat the s— out of her two days ago,” she reportedly told cops.

Ryan Revis said in an interview with detectives that he saw his daughter’s injuries but “chose not to intervene” based on his fear that authorities may take away his other kids. But his wife also pointed the finger at him, reportedly saying he choked the girl and threw her against the wall. According to his wife, Ryan Revis hated his daughter and wanted to murder her.

But Jennifer Revis ultimately took responsibility for her actions, saying she “went too far.”

“I should have more self-control,” she reportedly said. “I’m an adult.”

Both suspects remain in the Blackford County Jail. Their next court date is scheduled for Wednesday.
