In the court documents, it says the parents made the 11-year-old drink 64 ounces of water a day because he wets the bed. On March 10, he got in trouble for not drinking enough water, and he was told to drink more.
The child’s father told police “[His 11-year-old son] was supposed to drink water due to his bedwetting issue.” The night before he died, “he was flailing around putting on an act.”
In the step-mother’s interview with police she said:“[The child] used to do exercises which were given to him by a physical therapist, but he would get dramatic and throw tantrums about doing the exercises. She said he would cry and say he couldn’t do them and throw himself on the floor.”
The documents show the 11-year-old was told to keep drinking water, while the rest of the family ate dinner.
“The arrest warrant affidavit documents what it is that Mr. and Mrs. Sabin said in their interviews,” said Det. Kat Huston. “Those details are important to figure those things out and everybody’s states of mind in a case.”
The father also told police he kicked the 11-year-old a few times when he “threw a fit.”
According to the affidavit, after being put to bed around 11:15 p.m. March 10.
Ryan Sabin called 9-1-1 just after 6 a.m. the next day saying:
“When he went down to check on [the child] there was blood and he was foaming at the mouth. [He] was cold and stiff.”
Huston said this one is heartbreaking.
“We are people too and a lot of us are parents as well, so any death is important to investigate fully, and to bring justice to the victims. I think that whenever its a child it hits a little bit harder for us,” Huston added.
The other five children, between the ages of 3 and 16, who lived with the couple have been removed from the home.
So I had to do some conversion because ... litres ...
64 fl oz = 1.8 litres
92 fl oz = 2.75 litres
1.5 - 1.7 litres of liquid per day is the recommended amount for boys aged 9-13. That’s any liquid i.e, milk, juice, water, soda etc throughout the day.
This obviously changes slightly depending on the child, the climate and the lifestyle of the child - if he’s running around in the sun all day he will become more dehydrated than a kid sitting watching tv.
I’m certainly not a doctor or a scientist but I really can’t understand how drinking twice as much water as any child should. Right before bedtime, is going to STOP them wetting the bed ....
