TX - Nicholas, 7, Zayden, 9, Jovion, 11, Javier, 11, Jarod, 14, & Jamerian, 18, taken by mother & stepfather, Cypress, 18 Oct 2022 *arrests*

[Niner]

Found them in the Harris County court site - but their cases say "inactive" - they were supposed to have a hearing yesterday - but it says "no arrest"
Plus - Duncan only has 4 counts of assault against her. Maybe the courts will revise the charges & counts. ??

Search for missing Texas kids leads police to Baton Rouge; suspects awaiting extradition​

Oct 18, 2022 in News

By: WBRZ Staff

BATON ROUGE - Two people suspected of taking a group of children from Texas are awaiting extradition in the East Baton Rouge Parish jail.

The search for the children, who were reported missing in Houston, led Baton Rouge police and Louisiana State Police to a parking lot just off LSU's campus late Tuesday afternoon.

An Amber Alert was issued for the Houston area Tuesday after five children were reportedly taken by their biological mother, 40-year-old Zaikya Duncan, and her boyfriend, 27-year-old Jova Terrell. The children's 18-year-old brother, Jamerian Robinson, was also said to be with the family.

Terrell and Duncan were being held in the EBR jail as fugitives. A spokesman for the Harris County Constable Ted Heap said they could be returned to the Houston area by Thursday.

According to Harris County deputies, two of Duncan's children escaped from their Texas home Monday afternoon. The 16-year-old twins flagged someone down and had them call the police. When law enforcement arrived, the teenagers told deputies they had been handcuffed inside the home but been able to escape.

Deputies noted the twins were malnourished, bruised and unable to say which house they came from because they hadn't been outside recently. They were taken to a hospital and put under CPS custody.

​

When deputies went to the house, Duncan, Terrell and the five other children were gone, prompting an Amber Alert in Harris County, Texas.

Louisiana State Troopers spotted Duncan's car hours later, just off LSU's campus and stopped the car near the intersection of Nicholson Drive and E. Boyd Drive.

Officials said Duncan and Terrell only had one child in the car when they were taken into custody. The suspects told officers they brought the four other children to a family member's home, and Louisiana state troopers found them safe a short while later.

Duncan and Terrell were arrested and will be transferred back to Harris County to face charges of first-degree injury of a child.

Court records also show Duncan was arrested a decade ago for child cruelty in Baton Rouge after her son — who was 5 years old at the time — was taken to an emergency room after his teachers noticed he couldn't walk straight or even sit down.

At the time, doctors said the child had burns on his genitals, feet, and back. His twin sister was also examined, revealing "unexplained bruising" on her arm and leg. Deputies then went to her home at Siegen Village Apartments, where they found a 2-year-old — who also had visible bruises on his neck and back — and 4-year-old boy home alone.

While deputies were asking the 4-year-old where his parents were, father Nicholas Menina came into the home with another 2-year-old. The mother, Zaikiya Duncan, came to the home after a doctor's appointment for her 8-month-pregnancy. The parents were separated and questioned.

According to arrest paperwork, Menina told deputies that his 5-year-old son slept on the bare floor in a locked bedroom closet. Menina said "boards were placed in front of closet doors to keep the child from 'escaping' and 'stealing' food from the kitchen."

Deputies noted Menina said the 5-year-old girl and 2-year-old boy slept on the bare closet floor in the master bedroom.

According to notes, there were two empty beds in the home.

Both Duncan and Menina were arrested for cruelty to a juvenile and DCFS took custody of all six children at the time.

Duncan pleaded guilty to the charge, had to take a parenting class, and was put on probation, which was completed in 2020.

Sorry...didn't realize someone posted sooner. At the very end of the article, it brings to light that the dad of 5 of the kids Nicholas Menina was culpable in the original case from 10yrs ago also. But he has since remarried and left the kids with the mom who he knew was abusive.

If there were 2 sets of twins - why aren't the 16 year olds listed with the rest of the group of kids that have been named in all the articles??

 

[Regal Beagle]

The way I understood it, the kids listed were the ones from an Amber alert after the 16yo twins were safe with authorities. IMO

AH!!! Thank you! I must have mis-read that article. I thought when police got to the house that they were ALL gone. Did not realize that the 16 year olds were still there. Any names on these 2?? I would like to add that to my notes. TIA! And thanks again for that info.

In the daily mail article linked on pg 1 the twins said their 12 yr old twin brothers were also abused. I don't know how to copy and paste with the phone.

Hi @Niner hopefully this helps:

Bruised and malnourished twins, 16, flee Texas home where they said they were handcuffed​

The twins' escape triggered an Amber Alert for five siblings who were found safe later. The whereabouts of another brother, 18, are unknown.

So there are 8 children altogether, the 2 16 year old twins (boy and girl) that fled home and prompted mom to go on run with remaining 5 minors (which include a 2nd set of twins) that were subject to Amber alert, and then the 18 year old.

Texas woman helps handcuffed twins after they escape abusive home

CYPRESS, Texas (KTRK) — A twin brother and sister were taken to the hospital after law enforcement officials say they escaped their abusive home barefoot...

wsvn.com

CYPRESS, Texas (KTRK) — A twin brother and sister were taken to the hospital after law enforcement officials say they escaped their abusive home barefoot in Cypress on Tuesday morning.

The Harris County Precinct 5 Constable’s Office said the 16-year-old twin boy and girl went door-to-door in the Marvida neighborhood where they lived, looking for help early in the morning.

It is not known how many doors they knocked on before they ended up at the home of a woman in the next neighborhood at 5:30 a.m. She spoke to ABC13 anonymously for safety purposes.

Her doorbell camera caught the twins asking, “Can you help us?” and showing her their handcuffs.

“When they came inside, they were like, ‘We are not here to hurt you,'” the woman recalled. “She was shaking with her handcuffs. She was like, ‘We are looking for help. We just need help. We just broke out of our handcuffs. Our mom had us handcuffed in the laundry room.'”

Twins whose escape from Cypress home led to couple's arrest suffered horrific abuse, neighbor says

The boy and girl said they were kept handcuffed and naked in a laundry room and forced to drink their own urine. (WARNING: Story contains graphic content.)

www.khou.com

at the link - " According to Louisiana court documents from 10 years ago, a then 5-year-old child of Duncan's was taken from school to a local hospital to be treated for burns to his feet, genitals, and other parts of his body."

this sounds like it was the same boy. what a monster.
