WARREN — A former Pennsylvania man who relocated this summer to Brookfield Township, where he allegedly abused his 8-year-old stepson and wife, is now charged with offenses including rape that could lead to a life prison sentence.
A Trumbull County grand jury handed up a superceding indictment Friday that accuses Damion C. Wise, 30, of Everett East Road of eight additional charges, including rape.
Wise was arrested Aug. 22 when a concerned citizen called 911 because they noticed bruises on the 8-year-old.
When police arrived, the boy told them Wise had hit him in the feet, ankles, lower legs and head with a bat and ordered him to wear a dirty child’s diaper. The boy was also dehydrated, had black eyes, facial swelling and bruises on his hand, arm, chest, back and stomach, police said.
The boy said he was required to stay out in the yard alone for long periods while his parents cleaned the house. The boy also said Damion Wise had threatened to kill him.
The boy, who spent a few days in the hospital, and his 5-month-old brother are now in the custody of the Trumbull County Children’s Services Board.

I hope Trumbull Cty Imates gets word of this Brave Adult and his actions. Though I believe in disapline this went way beyond that ! The botom line is this man Abused this boy period. Where was his mother while this was happening to her baby ? Amazing!
The mother is just as guilty and I hope she rots in H E L L just the stepdad
His family has been writing letters to the Tribune. You can find them online. Interesting reads...
I think his family is just as messed up as him, obvously his parents didn't do a great job in raising him and he probably was abused himself as a child. Either way I hope the mother and him rot in H E L L and I hope the inmates have their way with him , I am sure he will make a nice 'girlfriend" to all of the guy inmates......
