Missouri couple accused of locking up, beating, and starving their three children in an “uninhabitable” hous
Authorities discovered a home in extreme conditions, with no accessible food, filled with methamphetamine, and with evidence of confinement and physical abuse
InO'Fallon, Missouri, a follow-up visit by school authorities ended up uncovering a position of serious abuse and domestic violence. Authorities visited Amberly Britton and Mark Myers ' home after one of the students showed up at school with a substantial cut that was never identified. According to accusation documents cited by local media, when they entered the home, they discovered an unsafe environment with mattresses without beds, a strong smell of urine, accumulated trash, and a total lack of heat. The youngsters did not consistently have access to food because the fridge and cupboards were locked. The house was described as "uninhabitable" by authorities. Extreme Hunger, Beatings, and Confinement: The three children's stories revealed a regular pattern of abuse. One of the 13-year-old girls claimed she had vomited from severe poverty and was beaten instead of receiving help. Another child recalled being locked up in his room for extended periods of time and receiving actual punishments like beatings with belts, paddles, and several other objects. The people spent long periods of time sleeping and did not watch them, but the children even claimed that they were forced to take care of themselves, including getting up, cooking their meals, and getting ready for school. Possible cause claims suggest that the children's parents had warned them to "never talk" about what was happening in the home. Methamphetamine and ambiguous adults: During the inspection, officers likewise discovered a "large amount" of methamphetamine in the home. According to court records, Britton and Myers have repeatedly feigned drug tests and have alleged they" could not" take it.
No substantial improvements were made, according to investigators, despite receiving instructions and opportunities to appropriate health risks.
Far from apologizing or expressing regret, both people blamed the children for the abuse and conditions at the home.
Charges and Criminal History
Amberly Britton and Mark Myers were each accused of second-degree drug trafficking and three counts of first-degree danger of a child's security.
The case is made more complicated by the woman's criminal histories. Prior to the conviction of Britton, she had already been found guilty of five crimes that involved putting a boy's security at risk. A legal murder conviction, a sex offender's registration, and possession of controlled substances are all on Myers ' criminal records.
The kids have been taken from the house and are now undergoing state shelter.
