Finley Boden Death – Stephen Boden and Shannon Marsden, the parents of 10-month-old Finley Boden charged after the baby was pronounced dead. He passed away after multiple assaults. The officials confirmed that the parents, were responsible for a horrifying array of injuries, including 17 broken ribs, inflicted during several assaults. Finley’s parents informed paramedics that they found him unresponsive on Christmas morning, 2020.
What happened to Finley Boden?
The parents stated the he had been sick with a temperature, cough, and cold before the officials were summoned to their home on Holland Road in Old Whittington, near Chesterfield. Finley was taken to the emergency room, but the physicians there were unable to save his life, and he was pronounced dead at 3:45 in the morning. The autopsy revealed that Finley had died from an infection and many fractures. A total of 57 fractures were discovered on his body, including those in his collarbone, wrist, shoulder, left thigh bone, right shin bone, and both thighs.
He also had 71 bruises. A pediatrician who specializes in such cases concluded that Finley would have been in’severe and protracted pain’ prior to his death, as none of the fractures could have occurred naturally. Finley’s dad, Stephen Boden, was overheard telling mom Shannon Marsden in the hospital that he was going to sell their son’s stroller on eBay to “lighten the mood” just hours after Finley’s death.
Finley, a baby of only 10 months old, passed away after sustaining 130 “appalling” injuries, including 71 bruises, 57 fractures, and “crushed and twisted” bones.
Social workers had voiced worries about the home environment and the parents’ drug use well before Finley was born. In February of 2020, just after his birth, he was taken from them. But in November of that year, he was brought back. The vulnerable youngster was last seen by social services on November 27 despite repeated trips to the Old Whittington residence.
On December 23, when Boden’s boyfriend, Marsden, went to get drugs down the street, Boden came to the door and told the social worker the child was sleeping because he was “not very well.” He then closed the door in the social worker’s face. Finley was killed on Christmas Day, only 39 days after he was returned to his parents’ care, but he was last seen alive on Christmas Eve while out with them in Chesterfield.
The social workers who voiced their worries about Finley living with his parents should have been heard by the agency’s upper management. And so it goes; by 2020, Finley has joined the ranks of the 36 English children who will have lost their lives due to abuse or neglect at home.
