Father of boot camp victim ordered out of court

PANAMA CITY, Fla. - The father of a 14-year-old who died at a boot camp was ordered out of the courtroom Wednesday after a judge accused him of making noises throughout the trial of seven guards and a nurse accused of killing his son.

"Anderson said he did not make any noises in court and blamed the disruption on a text message he said defense attorneys sent to someone seated near him."

Martin Lee Anderson's mom had earlier left the courtroom in tears, after the videotape of her son's attack was shown.

Mother who put son in dog cage gets 4 years
Woman says jail opened her eyes to 10-year-old's suffering

TOLEDO, Ohio - A Toledo mother convicted of forcing her son to sit in a dog cage has been sentenced to four years in prison.

Jessica Botzko apologized before the sentencing, telling the judge that her time in jail has opened her eyes to the pain she caused her children.

She fought back tears as she said she was not a monster.

But judge Linda Jennings rejected the woman's plea for probation and lashed out at Botzko for the way she treated her 10-year-old son.

Botzko's boyfriend has pleaded not guilty to child endangering and is awaiting trial later this month.
