Husband, Adoptive Parents Testify at Child Torture Trial
- On May 21, 2024, during the criminal proceedings in Crow Wing County District Court, the prosecution presented testimony from Jorden Nicole Borders' husband and the adoptive parents as part of the case against her for alleged abuse of her children.
- The charges against 34-year-old Borders from Crosslake stem from a Crow Wing County investigation that uncovered alleged abuse, including blood withdrawal and forcing casts without injury, leading to 11 felony counts.
- Borders’ husband, Christopher Badowicz, identified Borders in court and described the children’s health decline and diagnoses, while adoptive parents testified on the children's progress after removing them from Borders’ care.
- The record shows Borders was paid $28,521.60 as a personal care assistant for the 9-year-old boy, and she faces felony theft charges for fraudulently obtaining medical cost funds alongside torture and stalking accusations.
- In December 2022, Borders and her husband relinquished their parental rights, and as part of her release conditions, she was prohibited from having contact with minors; meanwhile, the children have shown notable improvements in both their health and academic performance while in foster care.
