A 53-year-old Oklahoma woman has been arrested after her 11-year-old granddaughter gave birth at home, and ensuing tests linked the infant to the child’s stepfather.
The girl’s biological mother, Cherie (34), and stepfather, Dustin Walker (33), were arrested first and initially charged with child neglect before indictments against the man were escalated.
The grandmother, however, has vehemently defended the couple, claiming that they loved their children and blamed the child’s pregnancy on a 12-year-old whom she once babysat.
