...Then them moved to an East OK City Suburb and then they were about to get caught there, so they moved to a west side suburb out in the country and started home schooling. They weren't on Oklahoma's radar. Then the kid escaped and all hell broke loose. Worst part is, they admitted to everything, then they tried to blame the kids for what was done to them. "They were damaged when we got them." Well, you knew that when you got them! They were getting 4500 from WI PER MONTH for them, and they were eating dog food and they wouldn't take them to the doctor, a counselor, or the dentist or buy them shoes to fit! It was ridiculously horrible.
Good news is, they were found guilty. Sentencing is July 24th. She's facing Life plus 125 years, and he's facing 50.
