On May 23, 2026, officers with the Sedalia Police Department responded to Comfort Inn, located at 3600 W. Broadway Blvd., in reference to a reported assault. According to the probable cause statement, officers arrived at the Comfort Inn and spoke with the victimโs mother, who reported that her 7-year-old son had been kicked into the hotel pool by a woman later identified as Penny Kay Badgett. The child reportedly could not swim and was pushed into an area of the pool approximately five and a half feet deep.
After the incident, a family member confronted Badgett. Badgett reportedly stated that the victim had been mean to another child. Investigators determined that Badgett had no relationship with the victim and had not interacted with him before the incident. Officers also spoke with the victim, who stated he was scared after being pushed into the pool.
Investigators reviewed surveillance footage from the pool area. According to the report, the video showed Badgett standing behind the victim, waiting for him to sit down, and then extending her foot to push him into the pool.
Using the surveillance footage and electronic door-lock records from the pool area, officers identified the room where Badgett was staying. After locating her, officers advised Badgett of her Miranda rights. Badgett invoked her right to an attorney. Officers then placed her under arrest. After being informed that investigators had video evidence of the incident, Badgett reportedly stated, โI know what this is about, I pushed him.โ
Badgett is now charged with abuse of a child and endangering the welfare of a child.
