York County, PA, mom pleads guilty to wrapping jump rope around neck of 4-year-old

A Fairview Township woman, Brittany Rose Simpson, has avoided additional jail time and possible conviction on a felony child-endangerment charge for wrapping a jump rope around the neck of her 4-year-old son, which police said caused ligature marks and bruising. She also slapped the boy’s face.

“Due to past incidents and concerns Brittany is only allowed to have supervised visitation” with her three older children. Her live-in partner is supposed to supervise that visitation, police said.
During the three older children’s visit to their mother’s home, her 4-year-old son put a jump rope around the neck of his 10-month-old half-sibling, documents state. In response, Simpson wrapped the jump rope around the 4-year-old’s neck “and tightened it to the point she caused ligature marks and bruising,” and also slapped the boy’s face, according to court documents.

Simpson is deeply remorseful about what happened and accepted responsibility for her actions from the start, according to York County public defender Matt Sembach, who represented her.

Being so unfit yet producing multiple children is so heartbreaking for the kids. I just get so angry. Sorry.
