Snipped from news & article:
- An Oklahoma man was arrested and charged with child sexual abuse after his 11-year-old stepdaughter gave birth at their home in Muskogee.
- The couple were also charged with six counts of felony child neglect, including failing to provide the 11-year-old with adequate medical care and supervision when she gave birth at home, according to court documents.
-The remaining five counts of child neglect allege neglect of the five children they share, ages 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9, on or between Jan. 1 and Aug. 16. The children were "living in deplorable conditions," according to the documents. "The victims were found to be living in dog feces and had no clothing on," court documents say.

Each of the charges against both defendants are punishable by up to life," Hutson said.
According to the article the parents initially claimed not to know the 11 yr old was pregnant. Parents names are (stepfather) Dustin Walker & (mother) Cherie Walker.
Muskogee County Assistant District Attorney is Janet Hutson
Bond has been set at $100,000 each. A hearing is scheduled for Sept 3.
Each parent is facing a possible life sentence…I think in this case that is completely appropriate due to the devastating impact this will have on that little 11 yr old girl and the baby boy she gave birth to. Not to mention all 5 of her siblings who are now wards of the state.
I hope this baby girl has a biological father or a close relative who is up to adopting her and possibly the baby, able to do the hard work that will be needed to give her back what remains of her childhood. I don’t know if it is even possible, but she deserves the opportunity to try. This nightmare she’s been living through no fault of her own shouldn’t define the rest of her life. It just hurts my heart knowing that at 11 years old that





and her sorry excuse for a parent have caused so much trauma that she will carry for too many years.
