Stewart and Jennifer Shuman, undeserving and unfit parents,
have pled guilty to two charges each of second- degree criminal abuse. They
were arrested back in September when police officers found their two sons
locked in a bedroom, the door secured with a bungee cord so they couldn’t get
out. This room they kept their children locked in was "covered from floor
to ceiling with feces from both children," according to the arresting
officer’s report. Jennifer Shuman told police the children, ages 2 and 3, had been
confined to the room for about a week because she and her husband couldn’t
control them. According to the report, the children had multiple bruises and
the younger of the two had bite marks on his arms.

The Shumans were originally indicted on two charges a piece
of first-degree criminal abuse, but by owning up to their huge failure as
parents, they avoid going to trial and being convicted of the original charges.
Good thing, too, ‘cause they more than likely would have been found guilty. So
round of applause, please, for the two dolts that admitted to allowing their
two toddlers to live in filth and feces. Can we get standing fucking ovation
for the parental duo that copped to their charges to get the lighter sentence?
Under their original charges, Mr. and Mrs. Shuman could have gotten a maximum
of 20 years each, so I’m sure whatever they're getting now is a pitiful fraction
of that time, if any.

The children were placed in state care after the Shumans
were arrested and it appears they haven’t had any contact with their parents.
After entering their plea, Stewart Shuman’s attorney asked the judge to allow
the couple to visit their children, stating that they had completed “all the
classes they need to do” to be allowed visitation. Social Services recommended
surpervised visits, but the Shumans required the judge’s approval first. The
judge denied the request, opting to wait until sentencing to decide. The couple
is scheduled for sentencing on June 14th, so their kids are living
squalor-free until then.
There is seriously no excuse for locking your kids in a room
for a week and definitely no justification for letting them literally live in
shit. That is beyond disgusting. Let’s hope this pair has learned their lesson
and those “classes” taught them a thing or two about cleanliness and the proper
way to deal with wild and crazy, hyped up and uncontrollable rug rats.
So THIS is how you control kids. I've been going about it all wrong. Good thing I have this website or I would be lost.
ReplyDeleteWell, too late for me now, but maybe I can control my future grand kids this way. I too agree that I learn a lot here.
DeleteNice work ladies. I have been out of hat for a while and decided to walk down memory lane....saw your link over on TCR. Seriously, I think it is good work. Best to you both.
