Featured Parents Accused Of Torturing Adopted Children For Decade, Forcing Them To Eat Dog Food

[Sugar Cookie]

Kris and Alan Jones' three adopted children endured the torture and abuse beginning in 2013, according to court documents.

The children were forced to sleep in the garage in all weather elements, the documents reveal. Kris would remove the carpet from the stairs so the children had to sleep on concrete.

When the children were fed, documents said they were placed in a dog collar, forced to eat dog food with milk and oatmeal with hot sauce. One of the children caught eating food from the trash at school because she wasn’t being fed at home, court documents said.

The kids were pushed down the stairs, held down punched and even choked, according to court records.

My sister used to make me eat dog food too. She used to take my blankets once I was asleep and she would sleep on top of them so when I woke up cold I couldn't take them back. She made me eat half a bottle of Flintstones vitamins once because she heard it would make my kidneys die. She'd get me to stand in one specific spot and if I moved she would kick me in the face for moving off the "safety zone". She was very creative in her ways to harm me. It was a lot for a 4 yr old to take and I was way too scared to tell my parents.

She's actually surprised that I now let her live in her truck instead of in our spare room. (My sewing room) "I'm your sister, you should care that I have nowhere to go"

Some people get satisfaction from causing suffering and they can't be changed. They can learn to SAY what they did was wrong, but they don't actually believe it. Given the chance, these parents would do the exact same things again. Look at their faces. Not even a miniscule trace of shame.

Jesus Christ, I was not nice to my sister but was only 2 years older. Shes still a little mad, and I feel really bad for whatever I did (I dont remember) but nothing like that.

Were you okay after you ate all of those vitamins?

Also how could this shit go on for so long with these adoptive parents?

I ate a Beggin' Strip once. Didn't taste like bacon at all.

Also, she's got a bit of an Aileen Wuornos look going on there. Pretty goddamn scary.

I hope the children never have to see these two creepers! I’ll just never understand people who do that to children!
Wicked and evil, the both of them!

I never tried cat food, but I tried a cat treat many years ago and it was awful!

Nearly eight months after a Wyoming couple were charged with torture and child abuse, a judge on Wednesday ruled there is enough evidence to move their criminal cases forward.

The couple routinely beat their three adopted children, forcing them to eat dog food, sleep in the garage and run miles daily as punishment, court documents show.

Attorneys for the pair, Kris Kathryn Jones, 58, and Alan Jeffrey Jones, 57, fought the criminal charges and maintained their clients’ innocence.

In a seven-page opinion, Wyoming District Court Judge Pablo Cortes said there was sufficient evidence to move the cases to Kent County Circuit Court.

The abuse is alleged to have spanned 10 years, a Wyoming police officer wrote in court documents.

Allegations include withholding food, forcing the kids to eat birdseed and dog food, along with the placement of “booby-traps” and cameras to prevent access to food and water and forced exercise.

The three children also reported being locked out of the home, being given squares of toilet paper when the bathroom was used and having the water turned on and off during showers.

Each of the three alleged victims, the court noted, “described behavior which grew worse and worse over the course of several years.”

Defense attorneys noted that the law gives parents wide berth in disciplining their kids as long as certain lines aren’t crossed.

“Sending an unruly or disrespectful child to bed without supper … would most likely not rise to the level of abuse or torture using just about anyone’s metric of allowable parental discipline,” Cortes wrote.

“On the other hand, systematic deprivation of food, the forced feedings, the withholding of food unless certain tasks are completed by a certain deadline and the forced consumption of irregular foods over a period of years, certainly might,” wrote Judge Pablo Cortes.

Forcing a child as young as six to run multiple miles to the point that they vomit “could very well be seen as excessive parental discipline, rising to the level of abuse,” Cortes wrote.
