Crosslake Woman Convicted of Child Torture, Attempted Murder, Losing Parental Rights
- Jorden Borders, a 34-year-old woman from Crosslake, was found guilty on June 4 in Crow Wing County of 11 criminal charges including child torture and attempted murder.
- Borders's prolonged abuse involved falsely diagnosing her three minor children with brittle bone disease and forcibly subjecting them to medical treatments without injuries.
- The trial revealed Borders physically abused her children, withdrew their blood before medical visits, committed stalking, and fraudulently claimed over $18,000 in Medicaid funds.
- District Court Judge Patricia Aanes revoked Borders’ bail following her guilty verdict and scheduled her sentencing for August 7, while Attorney General Keith Ellison praised the legal team’s efforts and called for prayers to support the children.
- Borders’s parental rights were terminated in 2022, and this conviction ensures she faces accountability while emphasizing the ongoing need to protect and heal the affected children.
