Fantastic news. Disgusting woman.
I do believe it was the former IMO (covering up).

This is the grandmother (Cherie's mother) who swore that the "stepfather" was not involved and nobody knew the little girl was pregnant...
regarding the child's lack of prenatal care, it would be interesting to know if her also pregnant mother WAS receiving such care. Her mother has birthed a number of children over the years. I don't know how that woman managed to claim to authorities with a straight face that she was unaware her 11 year old was pregnant.
Various searches have strongly associated the same address with her and her maiden name. So I think it's a distinct possibility that she also lived there. Her FB leads me to believe she was in the first two kids' every day life, so I wouldn't be surprised if they lived together then and possibly continued until recently.
This is a horrible set of situations. I am so glad they didn't kill her to cover the abuse and did get her to the hospital.
Therapy can be utilized to determined the best option. Separation may not be it. She's got a lot of trauma and loss in her life. Sometimes children in these situation do better when they are kept together. This isn't about her choosing whether or not to parent/mother the child, it's about whether or not severing contact with the child will cause more long term harm to her than either placing them together or placing them in a way she does not lose contact entirely. She's already losing so much. (And it's good to lose her abusers, of course, but it's still trauma to lose them.)This is a horrible set of situations. I am so glad they didn't kill her to cover the abuse and did get her to the hospital.
I hope they areocked up for the rest of their life. They mad life traumatic for all of these children. Nakedness, nastiness, and abuse appear to be a regular occurrence in their household. MOO
How does the 11 year decide, "If she wants the baby?". What are her options for a life now?
Truly therapeutic, home based placements, with wrap around services are needed for children exposed to this type of trauma (abuse and neglect).
I just pictured a community of single family homes, all for people fostering these type of children.
Then cut off both ends.
I truly believe in forced birth control for people like this.
Wow, no running water for two or three years? WTHI do believe it was the former IMO (covering up).
Days after the confirmation of the baby's father, the court charged the 11-year-old's grandmother, Michelle Justus, with six counts of child neglect.
GRANDMOTHER CHARGED: Court charges grandmother of 11-year-old who gave birth
The Muskogee County District Attorney's Office said DNA results show a 99% chance Dustin Walker is the father of the baby born to an 11-year-old girl in Muskogee County.
Yep, the grandmother, just as I suspected.
That was what I was afraid of; that the parents are allowed to "homeschool" children when they themselves probably can't even read. Something needs to be done about this. So many children are being abused, both physically and sexually and there is no way for the outside world to know.No. Parents just fill out a paper to homeschool. And withdraw their child from school.
An excellent example, was Lori Vallow Daybell, who withdrew JJ, her Autistic son from Special Education, which he definitely benefited from.
And he was killed a few weeks later. She withdrew him from school, already planning to kill him. That way no one would ask about his absence.
