CROSSLAKE, Minn. – A Crow Wing County woman is facing several charges including three counts of child torture.
Police began investigating 32-year-old Jordan Borders in May on a child maltreatment case involving three children. Around mid-March one of the children who is nine years old was seen at Children’s Hospital with concern over his hemoglobin numbers dropping. Hospital staff determined the only explanation for his numbers dropping was that someone was removing blood from his body. The children later admitted Borders withdrew the blood before doctor’s appointments.
The investigation also revealed the other two children, ages 11 and eight, were self-diagnosed by Borders as having brittle bone disease and were forced to wear casts and neck braces even though they didn’t have injuries.
