Hi Niner! It says it is a 500,00 dollar cash only bond, and the judge didn’t reduce it, but allowed him to file a Surety Bond. I don’t know what that is.
Shadlow is still in Hardin county jail, they do not want him out on bond as they consider him a flight risk, because if convicted he will be sentenced to life without parole. Also he has a history of probation violation. Also his release would jeopardize the child’s safety since Shadlow knows where he is.

Shadlow’s attorney asked the court to sever the trial so each defendant can face a separate jury.

According to court records, Tyler’s attorney supports the request for separate trials, but the prosecutors are against it.

It's true that the locals would find their behavior simply beyond the pale. But what other region would not find their abuse so heinous? A change of venue will not likely be their salvation. moo

From the article: Court documents reveal child was secluded, deprived of food

"According to court documents, Tyler repeatedly assaulted the child with the handle of a flyswatter and encouraged their dog to attack and bite the child. The child now has permanent scarring on his back and limbs, along with post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms.

At the start of the 2017 school year, teachers observed his repeated food-seeking, low body weight and hair falling out in patches.

Teachers and school administrators reported the child was a quiet boy, a loner, well-behaved and always hungry, causing personnel to have great concern for his welfare.

The child eventually told his teacher he was being confined under the stairs after school each day and deprived of food. The school made a report to the Iowa Department of Human Services, which led to an unannounced home visit.'

Thank you School for taking action,and thanks to DHS for making the unannounced visit,I thank god the child told the teachers,I wish Zarah and Erica told someone,I'm glad the boy is safe now..x
I would be so happy to hear more children being saved,instead of it being to late.
Please punish these people the same way,while their serving their time in prison, hope its years.

 

[Julindy]

Finally, and "unannounced" visit.

More of these,is what is needed,catch them all then
