Valparaiso, IN — An arrest warrant has been issued for Jennifer Lee Wilson, a 48-year-old foster mother in Indiana, accused of killing her 10-year-old adopted son, Dakota Stevens, by allegedly sitting on him for several minutes after he asked a neighbor to call 911 due to abuse.
Wilson is wanted on one count of reckless homicide not committed by using a motor vehicle.
The Porter County Sheriff’s Office reported that deputies responded at approximately 3:37 PM on April 25 to a call about an unresponsive 10-year-old at a home in the 200 block of Falcon Way in Valparaiso, Indiana, about 150 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
