Mother beats two-year-old foster son to death after researching child injuries on the internet
A nurse has been charged with the murder of her toddler foster son after she allegedly beat him to death in the family home in Utah. Court documents revealed that she researched child injuries on the internet shortly before the murder. Duchesne County deputies received reports of a dead child in Neola on August 5 this year and were immediately dispatched to Lisa Jo Vanderlinden's home.
When they reached the home, they discovered the toddler, who has been identified as two-year-old L. C., dead with several bruises and cuts on his face and body, the Daily Mail reported. A medical examiner determined at a later time that the child passed away from internal injuries that had been the result of blunt force trauma that was consistent with child abuse.
