CLIFTON HEIGHTS — Eating too much bacon for breakfast resulted in the alleged torture of a 9-year-old boy by his grandmother.
Marilee Ann Kolynych, 63, of the 200 block of West Washington Avenue was taken into custody by Patrolman James Press, who responded to a call of a woman allegedly abusing her grandson.
The alleged attack culminated 9 p.m. Tuesday on Kolynych’s front lawn when the woman was seen sitting on top of the boy, blasting his face with water from a hose at close range.
Officers arrived and found a large group of adults and juveniles in front of another house and interviewed witnesses and the victim.
“One witness stated that Mrs. Kolynych had chased her 9-year-old grandson through the yard,” Press said. “She threw him to the ground and was sitting on top of him, pinning him down and beating him on his legs. She was spraying water at very close range into (the child’s) face. The nozzle setting of the hose was on full force.”
During the alleged assault on the lawn, the child was yelling for help, screaming, kicking and squirming in attempts to get away, officials said.
“He was able to break free and ran across the street, using a neighbor’s phone to call his mother,” Press wrote in the affidavit.
According to Press, the child’s mother was able to separate the two, with Kolynych allegedly giving chase again after the boy.
“Apparently, he ate more bacon than anyone else at breakfast,” Press said. “She was yelling at him and picking on him all day because there wasn’t enough bacon for everyone.”
Kolynych was arraigned on charges of endangering the welfare of children, simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct.
Bail was set at 10 percent of $25,000 pending a preliminary hearing July 7 before Magisterial District Judge John Perfetti.
