Mom Nearly Rips Son’s Genitals Off, Tries To Superglue Them Back Together


San Antonio, TX – We’ve got another contender for “worst mom ever” for you: A mom was arrested Wednesday for nearly pulling off her 6-year-old son’s genitals because she was angry with him. She also attempted to repair the damage she caused with superglue.

A civilian at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Jennifer Marie Vargas, 34, has been charged by the FBI with assault within maritime and territorial jurisdiction resulting in serious bodily injury, reports Chron. The child’s father, who is enlisted in the Army, returned home from work to find his son crying in an upstairs bedroom.

When the father went to comfort the boy, he spotted bloody tissue in the boy’s underwear and a severe injury to his scrotum. He then took the boy to San Antonio Military Medical Center, a criminal complaint affidavit said.

The boy’s scrotum laceration was 4 centimeters long, and he had bruising to his genital area.

“Due to the child’s extreme physical pain, the medical staff had to administer medication,” the affidavit said. “The child was taken into surgery to repair the damage to his scrotum.”

The child is currently recovering from the surgery, and is in his father’s custody.

Vargas, meanwhile, admitted to agents that she grabbed the boy by the scrotum and pulled him toward her as hard as she could, “thereby ripping his ‘sack’ and causing a laceration.” She said that she did this because she was angry with the boy.

She later tried to clean the wound with alcohol and tried to fix it with superglue.

“She applied superglue to the (boy’s) scrotum until the bleeding stopped, stuffed his underwear with paper towels, and then told him to go to bed,” the affidavit said. “Vargas did not seek any type of medical treatment for the child.”

Child Protective Services confirmed that they had never dealt with Vargas or the family before, reports MySA. Vargas has been detained without bond pending a bail hearing Monday.
