There was a shocking story a day or two ago about an 11-yo girl who gave birth at home, whose parents claimed they had no idea she was pregnant. The stepfather now turns out to be 99.9% certain DNA match. I hope she can recover from this horror and go in to heal and have a good life in a loving home somewhere. It is just unspeakably tragic for her. 🤬

"An Oklahoma man was arrested and charged with child sexual abuse after his 11-year-old stepdaughter gave birth at their home in Muskogee.
Dustin Walker, 34, and Cherie Walker, 33, were arrested last week and originally charged with one count of felony child neglect each after the child gave birth to a full-term baby at home on Aug. 16, court records show. The parents initially claimed they did not know the child was pregnant, and the child had not been to the doctor in over a year.
The charges against the couple were amended on Monday after DNA test results revealed that the stepfather was a 99.9% DNA match for the baby's father, according to the test shared with NBC News by the Muskogee County District Attorney's Office.
Dustin Walker is accused of sexually abusing the child, who was 11 years old at the time, on or between Jan. 1 to Aug. 16, resulting in her giving birth to his child, court documents show. The child's mother, Cherie Walker, was charged with enabling child sexual abuse.
....
The children were removed from the home on Tuesday, per court records.
"Each of the charges against both defendants are punishable by up to life," Hutson said."...(more)

(21,194 posts)Prison rape is not a joke.
As horrible as what this man did may be, rejoicing that he'll be subjected to torture, rape and an early death contributes nothing good to making America a place that does not tolerate social Darwinism, eye-for-eye retribution, and cruelty in place of an equitable rule of law.
The child he victimized will not be un-victimized, nor will teaching her that it's okay to rejoice in a horrible revenge for her injuries help her overcome the trauma, learn to trust humankind again, and seek a future where she will experience kindness because she can value and dispense it herself. Even in the face of the horrors she survived.
sadly,

(11,215 posts)The 11-year-old's grandmother denied this claim, telling the outlet that the family "did not know this was happening."
"They've made my daughter and son-in-law a monster," she continued. "They are not. They love these children... We have animals, and so sometimes there's trash on the floor because the dogs get into the trash. It gets cleaned up. Right now, it's probably a mess because the animals are in there. We try to let them out, but they try to keep it clean."
The grandmother also claimed that the child told her who the father of the child may have been.
"She keeps telling us that it was a little 12-year-old that I used to babysit," she said. "She keeps telling everybody that it was him. They got curious, that's all I know."

(113,877 posts)but these people look as normal as the people I know about.
One of my cousins did a Woody Allen, divorced the mom and ran away with the teenaged daughter, got married in Mexico. I've always wondered how long it lasted, but no one in the family has been in contact with him for the past fiftyish years. He's got no online presence, so my worst self imagines he got plugged by an irate Mexican dad for messing around with the wrong little girl down there.
Guys like this look completely normal. You can know them for years--even grow up with them--and never spot them until it's too late.

(25,393 posts)and the original post contained a news story that should focus a lot of light on this crime. I can't think of anyone who would condone it in any way.

Is the girl keeping the baby? I don't see anything about that. I guess they will both enter the foster system.

Just not clear if the children were biological or fosters.

And certainly not with that stupid grandmother! What an effed up family. My heart aches for that poor little girl.

Sounds good. He probably won't live that long though. I'd say 5 years until he suicides or he's murdered by a fellow inmate, unfortunately.
I hope all the other kids in his/their care now or previously, all get checked out. No way this is a single offense.
I don't have any words for the "mother" here.

(16,440 posts)So, what happens to the baby? The 11-year old certainly cannot care for it. Will the step-father get parental rights now? I mean, it goes without saying that he shouldn't, but in this fucked up world, who the heck knows.
I hope all of the children connected to this are able to get physical and mental health so that they can recover.

She said she contacted the police multiple times to request a welfare check on the family, and is convinced that the parents knew about the child's pregnancy.
"This is getting to me," she said. "They robbed her of her childhood."
less than ideal conditions seems like a bit of an understatement.
