A lock on the outside of a girl's bedroom door. A bucket in her bedroom to be used as a toilet. Duct tape dictating where she could and could not walk in her room — so as to stay in sight of the surveillance camera.

Such is the evidence authorities included in the charging documents filed this week against Angela and Malcom Cobler, who reportedly imposed those conditions on the 11-year-old child they adopted in 2013.

Both Coblers are facing nine charges, including child endangerment, assault on a minor, and tampering with evidence, among others filed on Monday. The girl and her brother were removed from the home last July, according to charging documents.


A search warrant that Missoula police filed in Missoula County District Court on Dec. 21, 2018, for the surveillance system shows detectives began investigating the case after several people called 911 from the Goodwill store. They reported a man, later identified by police as Malcom Cobler, walking a child around on a leash. At one point the man reportedly became upset with the child and yanked the leash so hard the girl's feet left the ground, customers told authorities.

Detectives got in touch with Child Protection Services, who said a home visit showed both the girl and her older brother were small in size but that the home generally seemed in order. In that visit, Angela Cobler reportedly admitted to locking the girl in her room, but only to keep her from running away.

In July, a Child and Family support specialist called the same detective: a doctor had reported the girl was covered with bruises, and the CFS worker would be headed to the home. The specialist who conducted that visit called the conditions "horrendous." According to the search warrant, the social worker found the girl was "bone thin" from having been locked in her room all day, had to use a bucket in the bedroom for a toilet "with no toilet paper to use except for one tissue she was also using to wipe her scabs with."

The reported bruising included a black eye, three large bruises on her back and significant bruising on her arms. The girl told a nurse during a medical exam that the bruises were a result of her mother slamming her into a closet, according to charging documents.

Along with the duct tape on the floor to maintain the line of sight by the surveillance cameras found in both children's rooms, the girl reported the Coblers would duct-tape her to the bed at night, and sometimes put duct tape over her mouth as a form of punishment. Other forms of punishment included throwing her to the ground; if she vomited, the Coblers would rub her face in it and then force her to consume the vomit, the girl told authorities. Her brother told authorities he saw this punishment happen, according to the court documents.

In searching the Cobler home on July 26, 2018, detectives found the locks and surveillance cameras had been removed, and that the removal was recorded on video. Photographs and videos on the phones seized at the home reportedly showed one of the defendants repeatedly hitting the girl while she was naked and blindfolded. Text messages reportedly showed discussions between Angela and Malcom Cobler about mitigating the bruising in case people asked questions, as well as making food inedible by adding cayenne or other pepper to the food, according to the documents.

Both Angela and Malcom Cobler were released from Missoula County Detention Facility on Tuesday. Calls to a cell phone found in their names were not returned Thursday.

Sick sadistic bastards! Poor girl was starving yet fat mama doesn't look like she's skipped a meal in a long time. I'd like to shove a shitload of rotten food down her gullet until she pukes and force her eat her own vomit like she forced that child to do. Damn stinking disgusting bitch and her putrid partner should die.
 
Tub of fat shit is sucking him in like she's Jupiter. I bet one or both claims to be native American too. Just a hunch.
Hahahaha true yet a disgrace to my own heritage. Wtf, this world of shreks has collapsed.

A Missoula man and wife were both sentenced on Wednesday to prison for child abuse so vile the judge could compare it only to the prisoner-of-war camps during World War II.

"The horrendous nature of these crimes is, frankly, why we have prisons," Missoula District Court Judge John Larson told the defendants, Angela and Malcolm Cobler.

Larson's comments came after more than an hour of testimony and evidence, both of which included depictions of the Coblers' two adopted children padlocked in their rooms, going without food, being beaten and hauled around in public on dog leashes. Larson sentenced both Angela, 57, and Malcolm, 56, to 10 years in prison, to be followed by 10 years of probation.

"You will not be treated, not even close, to the way you treated them. I can only read accounts of prisoner-of-war camps during World War II, the Gulag in the Soviet Union and the way people in East Asia have been treated to find something similar to the lack of nourishment, the constant fear and terror that each of these children experienced."

Several images showed the adopted daughter and son with towels over their heads and their arms held out. Videos showed Angela Cobler smacking the girl, blindfolded and nearly naked, with a stick or a bat, or striking the girl with the palm of her hand.

The text messages between Angela and Malcolm Cobler suggested they sought to alter their abuse patterns to not draw attention to the children's injuries.

"No face grabbing, you really need to watch where you're grabbing because they're asking about bruises," said one text Crocker read aloud during the hearing.

10 years is a bullshit sentence - hopefully their true punishment will come when they themselves are in need of care and the caretaker is as cruel and sadistic as they are.
 
The funding received by the adults for the care of the minor children should have to be repaid by the two adults to the children, or anything they own should be sold to support the children. 10 years isn’t nearly enough should be 10 years for every assault! I hate when they starve the children but yet they appear robust and even plump and overweight! I hope they get rotten treatment in prison and the food they are served is putrid!
 
"I ask for mercy for the children and myself. I don't believe it's the best thing for these children to see their family locked up."

Did Fatty McButter Pants really say that in court with a straight face? I don’t know how these court officials restrain themselves.
Family my ass. There is a shitty adoptive parent to one of the children in my family. I refer to her as paper signer. She did sign and adopt the child. Then she sampled meth and decided that mama is a title that she’s earned, but she doesn’t want any part of actually raising the child she signed for.

These two are paper signers.

And I agree. It must be hard not to start shooting spitballs, bullets or glass shards from a slingshot at idiots like this.
 
I would not be surprised if they agreed to relinquish their rights to the children for a better sentence.


I believe all children can be resisliant but the damage they have done to these children will impact them throughout their lives.

Hopefully the state has done right by them and placed them in a good foster home and enrolled them in therapy.
