Cherie and Dustin Walker, the mother and stepfather of an 11-year-old girl from Muskogee County, Oklahoma, are facing felony child neglect charges after prosecutors say the child was forced to give birth to a full-term baby inside her home without any medical assistance.
The horrifying ordeal came to light on August 16, when the young girl was rushed to a hospital after delivering the baby. According to investigators, the girl had not seen a doctor in more than a year and received no prenatal care during her pregnancy.
“I was horror-stricken,” Muskogee County Assistant District Attorney Janet Hutson said.
