Young boy, 13,
gets probation
after shooting
EL PASO (AP) — A 13-year-old
boy who shot his sister in the head
last month was sentenced to proba
tion for a year in the non-fatal inci
dent.
Roy Chumley Jr. pleaded guilty
Sept. 23 to a charge of reckless con
duct in the shooting of his 16-year-
old sister, Angela, during an argu
ment, according to court records.
She recovered after an 11-day hospi
tal stay.
The boy was sentenced Monday
by District Judge Enrique Pena.
Pena appointed the state Depart
ment of Human Services as tempo
rary conservator. Under con
servatorship, Roy will live at home
and the department is to monitor his
progress and counsel the family.
County Attorney Joe Lucas crit
icized Human Services during the
hearing for not doing something
earlier to prevent the shooting.
According to testimony, child wel
fare workers were told at least twice
about two years ago that the boy had
no parental supervision.
Human Services caseworkers
Rosa Masilang and Leslie Thompson
testified they checked reports in De
cember 1985 and May 1986 that the
child often was left alone and had to
feed himself. They said they
checked with the boy’s mother,
Linda Chumley, who denied the al
legations. The cases were closed.
Ernest Gonzales, a Human Serv
ices supervisor, testified that the de
partment is so understaffed that it
can handle only the most serious
cases.
Lucas said the department “ought
to be in the prevention business.”
“It seems like a little prevention
would help all of us,” Lucas said.
He added that he thought the sen
tence was fair.
“He has a learning disability,” Lu
cas said, “but everyone who has
come in contact with him agrees that
he is a good kid.”
Mrs. Chumley was not home at
the time of the shooting.
Angela Chumley testified she
holds no ill will toward her brother.
Couple gets
prison term
for child abuse
HOUSTON (AP) — The mother
and stepfather of a 2-year-old boy
who police said died after being
beaten and force-fed pizza were sen
tenced to prison terms after
pleading guilty to injuring the child.
Thomas Lynn Warren, 43, was
sentenced to 37 years in prison,
while his wife, Jacqueline Annette
Warren, was given a 20-year term af
ter they entered the guilty pleas as
part of a plea-bargain agreement.
The two were sentenced Monday
by State District Judge John Hughes.
Both could have been sent to prison
for life.
“I’m sorry for what happened,”
Warren said before his sentencing,
“I live my life now to serve God.”
Jesse Warren, who had been re
turned to his mother after being
taken away by child welfare authori
ties, died of head injuries May 8.
He was hospitalized after his step
father shoved pizza in his mouth,
forced his head against the floor and
stepped on his stomach because he
refused to eat, Harris County sher
iffs investigators said.
Authorities said the child’s
mother watched the beating, then
carried him to another room where
she took the food out of his throat
and gave him mouth-to-mouth re
suscitation before calling an ambu
lance.
Harris County Children’s Protec
tive Services spokesman Judy Hay
said Jesse, his sister and three broth
ers had been removed from the
home in August 1985.
