North Carolina court records allege a 4-year-old child died after suffering from severe abuse from his adoptive parents which included the young boy being subject to amateur exorcisms.
Joe Paul Wilson and Jodi Ann Wilson, the adoptive parents of four-year-old Skyler Wilson, allegedly restricted food to Skyler and performed an amateur exorcism on him and his brother.
Both are now facing murder charges for Skyler’s death.
After police conducted search warrants on the Wilson’s phones, they discovered a message Joseph Wilson sent to his wife that said he had a problem with “swaddling.”
The correspondence also revealed Joseph reportedly sent a picture of Skyler wrapped up tightly in a blanket and duct taped to the floor.
