Mother Jailed For Burning Off Son’s Penis And Nipples With A Lighter

In a horrific story out of New Hampshire, a mother, aged 53, has been sentenced to up to 30 years in jail, for burning her 19-year-old son’s penis and also burning his nipples off with a lighter.

The boy was allegedly assaulted and tortured by his mother, Christine Gelineau, on numerous occasions, and then coerced by her to say the wounds were self inflicted. On the day of her sentencing, as she sat in court sobbing her son read the following heart-wrenching words:

Dear ex-Mother, What you did to me is unforgivable. You beat me, starved me, almost chopped my penis off, threw my clothes away, wouldn’t let me bath. You almost killed me by having me take three (antidepressants) and two muscle-relaxers. Now that I know you’re a complete criminal and only wanted me dead so you could go back to your old life. You won’t be able to attend my graduation or see me go on to college, so I wish you goodbye. I hope you realize you have lost everything you had.

Gelineau pleaded guilty to first-degree assault and witness tampering. She admitted that she had indeed burned the tip of her son’s penis but only after he threatened to have sex with her. Her motherly response was to put gloves on, as she thought her son was dirty, and grab his penis, twisting it and burning the tip with a lighter for a few seconds.
