    So the husband gets one life sentence for doing it, and the wife gets seven life sentences for allowing it?

    They both deserve life in prison, but why did the actual perpetrator get a lesser sentence?

      I assume its what they could prove. Dad raped kid obvious guilt provable by paternity test if any question. Proving neglect was probably harder if daughter was in mom’s care mostly.

    The headline: oh that sounds horrible.

    The description on this post: even worse than I thought it would be.

    The article: not a single picture of the husband, who is also serving a life sentence. I wanna see what that mistake of a person looks like.

    If it’s America, I get it. $20,000 for a hospital birth. And, if you don’t pay, they take your house.

      A 34-year-old Oklahoma mother will spend the rest of her life behind bars for allowing her husband to impregnate her 11-year-old daughter, then forcing the child to give birth at home without any medical care.

      I did not read the whole article, but I suspect the lack of medical care had less to do with saving money than with hiding her involvement in the rape of her own daughter.

    I hear people say Oklahoma is the most free state in the union, and yet they won’t let you rape your own child and force her to give birth? That’s not the America my ancestors had nothing to do with building.

    Yep, the news from the Oklahoma Oblast no longer surprises me. Certainly the Orange Pedo Shitstain will pardon the sick bastards because that is why he is mentioned over 38,000 times in a certain set of files.

      Thank you for this warning.

      Someone once wrote a comment on the internet which i read, which said something like, " when you have a choice to look at something traumatic or not, you don’t have to look. "

      Sadder still, society will expect her get over it and carry on. Society doesn’t understand that there’s no “normal” for her any more.

        Hopefully she can get a lot of help and therapy while she’s still young. Once you’re an adult no one gives a fuck what you’ve been through or what you’re going through.

        The bills won’t pay themselves. Food won’t magically show up just because you’re too mentally or emotionally fucked up to function like a normal adult.

      You want to home school? No problem. Just need to make sure your home is up to the same standards as regular school.

      • Teacher with a master’s degree (depending on state)
      • ADA compliant with wheelchair access (so the inspectors can get in if they’re in a wheelchair of course!)
      • Kid still needs to take the same standardized exams as every other kid at the school.
      • Everyone in the home has to be up to date on vaccinations.
      • Everyone in the home must undergo a thorough background check.
      • Regular welfare visits since the child can’t be regularly observed by state employees five days a week.

        Sadly, the state of the US educational standards have been in decay for decades, as well as the premises. More rational parents are turning to homeschooling and demanding curricula that is better than evangelical scams.

        That would still missing the key issue here: regular contact with children of the same age group.

        Good luck getting any of that done if they claim they’re a “religious teaching institution.”

        i grew up homeschooled with extreme abuse, and have been saying this for years. i have gotten a surprising amount of pushback for it, even by friends who i consider progressive. it’s strange

        oh, and the adult administering the curriculum must be licensed to teach in that state and keep up with licensing. (my mom had the equivalent of a self taught 3rd grade level education)

      Less?

      Walker’s husband, Dustin Joel Walker, already received a life sentence after pleading guilty earlier this year to one count of sexual abuse of a child under 12 and six counts of child neglect.

      King sentenced the father to life in prison plus 42 years, ordering him to serve the 42-year sentence before beginning the life term.

        Mom was given seven consecutive life sentences, so I guess that’s technically more. Both will die there.

          You’re right, I missed the “seven consecutive” life sentences part. I hope they’re not served at all concurrently somehow (though ‘consecutive’ would seem to indicate not), just because.

        Life with parole is effectively figured as 45 years in Oklahoma. So with the consecutive sentencing that’s an effective figure of 87 years for parole computations.

      Seems she already was. Got a (delayed) court date and everything.

      I’m ignoring the bad & obvious to everyone pun.
