A South Dakota woman accused of beating her 2-year-old son to death after he wet his bed has been sentenced to 40 years in federal prison.

 

Thirty-year-old Katrina Shangreaux, of Porcupine on the Pine Ridge Reservation, pleaded guilty in Marchto second-degree murder in the July 2016 death of 2-year-old Kylen Shangreaux. She was sentenced Tuesday.

 

The Rapid City Journal reports that Shangreaux admitted assaulting the toddler with a studded belt. She also threw him to the ground, kicked him in the abdomen and head, and bit him several times.

 

Shangreaux’s mother, Sonya Dubray, has pleaded not guilty to being an accessory and hindering the investigation.

 

The boy’s father is serving time in federal prison for abuse and neglect of a son with a different woman.

A sick family raped children during a 30-year campaign of abuse branded the “worst ever case of its kind” by a judge.

 

Twisted Antony Potts and three members of his family carried out a string of child abuse offenses over the course of three decades.

 

The 49-year-old was described as a “deeply depraved man” as he was jailed for life at Birmingham Crown Court.

 

He was convicted of 13 counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and nine counts of inciting a child to perform a sexual act and cruelty.

 

Antony was joined in the docket by his dad Keith Potts, who was caged for eight years alongside his wife Julie, both for child cruelty.

 

Antony’s wife Elaine and family friend Joanne Hoye were also both jailed for four years after pleading guilty to neglect.

 

Brother Joshua Potts admitted to multiple counts of rape and sexual assault against children, while his sibling Nathan, 26, was jailed for 16 years for two counts of rape of a child, four counts of sexual assault, inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and sex with another adult.

 

Police were once again called but it was decided there was insufficient evidence to bring charges. However, the case was reopened in January 2016 when a fifth victim came forward.

 

The full extent of the abuse began to unravel and a further three victims were identified – meaning the vile family could be brought to trial.

 

Jurors were read emotional victim impact statements giving harrowing details of how the victims were “groomed and brainwashed” by their abusers.

 

One said the abuse had a “major impact” on her life and she felt she was “let down as a child” by the police.

 

She also said she has suffered from “constant and daily panic attacks,” has post-traumatic stress disorder and has “reduced self-worth.”

 

Another victim said: “I want Antony to go to prison all his life so he can’t hurt anyone else.”

 

Joshua Potts will be sentenced in August.

Regarding the first - I thought Indian Reservations had their own laws and justice systems.

 

And the second - they should have been locked up and the keys thrown away. The death penalty would have been too good for those monsters! And the poor children, can they ever be able to recover even with the help of mental health professionals?

Authorities say a malnourished 15-year-old Oklahoma boy who survived by eating sticks, leaves and grass has been found living in a barn, and four members of his family have been arrested for child neglect.

 

The Oklahoman reported Thursday that Lincoln County Assistant District Attorney Adam Panter said the boy weighed 80 pounds July 12, when he was found sharing the barn with goats, rabbits and chickens.

 

The teen is hospitalized.

 

The boy’s name and condition haven’t been released. Panter says he could have died without medical attention.

 

A spokeswoman for the state Department of Human Services declined to comment on the case.

 

Panter says the boy’s father, stepmother and two older brothers have been arrested on child neglect warrants. Court records don’t indicate formal charges have been filed.

Police say an Iowa man and his girlfriend tortured the man’s 8-year-old son for months by locking him in a basement enclosure, withholding food and making him endure dog bites.

 

The Hardin County Attorney’s Office said Wednesday that kidnapping charges had been filed against 39-year-old Traci Lynn Tyler and 30-year-old Alex Craig Shadlow, both of Ackley.

 

An arrest affidavit says the abuse occurred between July and September 2017. Investigators allege the boy was locked for at least nine hours a day in an enclosed 6-foot-square space under the basement stairs, where he slept on concrete with no bedding and had no access to a bathroom.

 

Police say Tyler also urged her dog to attack the boy, which left scars on his back and limbs.

 

Authorities say the boy’s school alerted investigators to the abuse.

 

The couple’s attorneys didn’t return phone messages Thursday.

Anybody remember the famous case of "Genie" the girl kept in a cage by her parents, strapped down to a toilet, who at age 5 or so only knew how to say "Don't!" and "Stop it!"

 

She was rescued, and they tried to rehabilitate her. She didn't get far learning language, as I recall and ended up in a state home.

 

THEN THE PARENTS SUED THE STATE. Oh, brother.

How about the parents who chained their children at home in Riverside County? Or the woman who let her BF torture her son to death? So sad, these cases.
