Can You Imagine?





A young US mother and her boyfriend have been jailed after they showed off photos of the woman's toddler son duct taped to a wall.

An18-year-old from Nebraska, held her son to the wall while her 19-year-old boyfriend duct taped the boy's wrists and legs in January.

According to police the couple were "high after a night of partying" and decided to stick the boy to the wall as entertainment.

An affidavit said photos taken on the mother's camera showed the boy was crying while being restrained with the fluorescent green tape.

In one photo the youngster is seen reaching for a child's drinking cup which has been taped to the wall just out of his reach, and in another his arms are taped behind his back.

His mother was sentenced to 10 days in jail to be served over five weekends as well as two years probation.

The boyfriend was sentenced to 36-60 months in prison for intentional child abuse.

The boy has been placed in custody of the state.
