Shreveport, La — A 15-year-old runaway found at a local hospital on March 9, 2025, made horrific allegations of abuse against his foster mother, Lisa Pittman (B/F, DOB 9-15-71).
The teen claimed Pittman forced him to sleep on a dog mat or yoga mat, denied him access to the restroom for showers, and made him urinate and defecate in a mop bucket outside. As a result, the hospital admitted the juvenile for his safety, and DCFS removed three additional foster children from Pittman’s home.
Following forensic interviews with four juveniles on March 26, 2025, investigators confirmed the abuse claims. Pittman was arrested on March 27, 2025, and charged with one count of Cruelty to a Juvenile.
Authorities Urge the Public to Report Suspected Child Abuse
The Shreveport Police Department emphasized its commitment to protecting children and urged the community to report suspected abuse or neglect immediately.
If you suspect a child is in danger, contact authorities or DCFS to help break the cycle of abuse.
