Mother Gets Just 30 Days In Jail For Waterboarding Baby, Putting Him In Freezer To Get Man’s Attention

An Oregon woman who waterboarded her infant son and put him in a freezer was sentenced to 30 days in jail for the crime.

Sharday McDonald, 30, admitted to police that she had tortured her 13-month-old son “out of spite” to “test” the loyalty of the boy’s father, Law & Crime reported. The boy survived the abuse, which occurred in October 2021.

McDonald pleaded guilty in July 2023 to first-degree criminal mistreatment and was sentenced earlier this month. She will also be on supervised probation for three years after her release, but it is unclear whether she will be prohibited from seeing her child or be allowed limited contact.

In addition to the mistreatment charge, McDonald also pleaded guilty to tampering with a witness for an unrelated incident, as well as identity theft. She initially pleaded not guilty to all three charges on November 19, 2021, but changed her pleas earlier this year, KPTV reported.

Court documents reviewed by the outlet show that police received a tip on October 28, 2021, that McDonald had put her baby in the freezer of her Gresham, Oregon, home. When police responded to the tip, one officer said they heard McDonald yelling at the baby’s father, Kendric Neal.

“I’m about to show you real quick. You don’t want him? Let me show you about this little f***ing baby, I don’t f***ing give f*** about,” McDonald reportedly yelled.

Prosecutors said in court that police officers then saw McDonald holding her baby in a blanket when she opened the front door. McDonald reportedly told officers that she was “not trying to hurt, harm or kill her son [name redacted] by drowning him or putting him in the freezer.”

The officer who arrested McDonald, however, said that prior to her arrest, he saw a photo of her “holding [the infant] by the onesie but at a downward angle, where his hip, legs and feet were higher than his head (almost upside down) with water running over his face,” according to KPTV.

“The only place the water could go (in that picture) was in his nose (at that angle),” the officer said in court documents, according to the outlet. “It looked like [the child] was trying to hold his breath while water was pouring over his face.”

A physician testified in court that the baby likely couldn’t breathe based on photos of the incident and could have died.

Taylor Swift Spotted Leaving Chiefs Game With Travis Kelce

Pop icon Taylor Swift accepted NFL star Travis Kelce’s invitation to attend a game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City to watch him play.

The 33-year-old singer was caught on video leaving the venue on Sunday with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end walking closely by her side.

The video appeared to show Swift saying “bye” as they left the stadium together. This moment came after Swift watched the Chiefs play the Chicago Bears from Kelce’s suite alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, and could be seen talking and laughing with her throughout the game.

Swift donned a red-and-white Chiefs jacket for the occasion. Ultimately, the Chiefs bested the Bears 41-10.

This turn of events comes just days after Swift and Kelce made headlines following an interview the two-time Super Bowl champ did with ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show.” 

“It’s life, baby,” Kelce told McAfee when asked about the dating rumors. “I threw the ball in her court and told her, ‘I’ve seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead. You might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one’s a little more lit.’ We’ll see what happens in the near future,” he added.

“It’s hilarious how much traction this has actually got,” Kelce went on, referencing the rumors. “It’s like an old game in school called ‘Telephone,’ where everybody is just whispering in each other’s ear, just hearing some random stuff. No one actually knows what’s going on.”

Travis’s older brother, Jason Kelce, an offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles, added fuel to the fire during a conversation with 94 WIP in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

“It’s hard to answer, because I don’t really know what’s happening in Travis’ love life, and I try to, like, keep, you know, his business kind of his business and stay out of that world,” Jason said when asked if he knew anything about his brother dating Swift. “But having said that, man, I think he’s doing great. I think it’s all 100% true.”
