Sentenced: Suspects Beat, Tortured & Ate food In Front Of Starving Child

A Pittsburg County judge set bond at $100,000 apiece for two McAlester residents accused of torturing a child — with one being transported to a hospital after her attorneys said she was in labor during an initial court appearance.

Ashley Dawn Marie Schardein, 24, and Billy James Menees, 27, were each charged with several counts related to the alleged child abuse.

Numerous officers and detectives from the McAlester Police Department surrounded the office of local attorneys Brecken Wagner and Blake Lynch with warrants for arrest prior to the arraignment.

During the court appearance, Lynch accused the District 18 Assistant District Attorney's Office of calling a Tulsa news station before calling his office — which Assistant DA Michon Hastings-Hughes denied.

“It’s about a little girl who was not just abused once or twice,” Hastings-Hughes said. “But has been beaten to a pulp for at least a month, if not more. She was tortured and made to look like she just got out of Auschwitz.”

Schardein and Menees were charged together with child abuse by torture, kidnapping, and four counts of child abuse, according to court documents.

Individually, Schardein was charged with three counts of child abuse and one count of enabling child abuse. Menees was charged with three counts of enabling child abuse and one count of child abuse, according to documents filed.

According to the child abuse by torture charge, the two are accused of torturing a 10-year-old girl “by excessively punishing with emotional and verbal abuse, physical abuse, including spanking, tying her hands and feet for long periods of time, shaving her head, not allowing her to use the restroom, forcing her to sleep on a concrete floor with no pillow, no blanket and intentionally keeping it cold in the room, restricting her diet to oatmeal, spinach and water, and/or forcing her to stand up for painfully long periods of time during the day sometimes in wet clothing under a cold fan.”

The other charges list alleged instances of striking the girl with a large wooden paddle, wooden spoon, a sock stuffed with a bar of soap, a belt, and smashing the child’s head into a wall, documents state.

During the arraignment, Wagner argued the two were not a danger to the public since the children in the house were now in the custody of the Department of Human Services.

Schardein winced throughout the proceeding and Wagner said it was due to contractions that were brought on by stress from the process. Wagner then asked for a $50,000 bond apiece for Schardein and Menees.

After Hastings-Hughes read a text message between the accused and a Facebook post from Schardein, the prosecutor told Mills that the woman would be seeking visitation with the children “and if she’s not in prison, DHS will probably give it to her.”

Wagner objected by yelling that the prosecutor’s statement was “ridiculous.”

Mills ordered both sides to stick to the statutory factors, before the defense and prosecutors began yelling over each other and the judge ordered them to stop and sit down.

Before Mills could rule on a bond, Schardein began to wince and Mills told his staff to request an ambulance.

“I don’t really want to deliver a child in here,” Mills said.

Schardein was loaded onto an ambulance and transported to the McAlester Regional Health Center while Menees was taken into custody in front of the courthouse and transported to the Pittsburg County Jail.

@Satanica

it is his daughter not hers.

According to court documents filed at the Pittsburg County Courthouse, the suspects violently beat and starved Menees’ daughter. Authorities began investigating when a tipster contacted the Oklahoma Department of Health Services, after seeing bruises on the child. Another family member reportedly contacted DHS twice to report child abuse.

If you go to his page there is a girl about the age of the victim above.

These two have two young girls together & bean in the oven.

And that is how her attorney argues for ROR during the arraignment? "She can't beat the kids no more on account of the kids ain't there no more"?

Still, this is the same guy who did this:

Either Squire Wagner is a ring-tailed wonder or the long-term strategy is to appeal later because of ineffective counsel.

In some abusive homes, there is always "the scapegoat child", and often a correlating "golden child".
Irregardless of who does what, the scapegoat will take the brunt of blame and abuse, while the golden receives
praise and good attention even for terrible actions.
It need not be a situation where there's a stepchild, or half-sibling, it's just that the more abusive adult will single out one very early, and if the other parent (when they exist or have knowledge of what is happening) is willing to go along with their spouse on everything, then that will be the child who suffers.
Occasionally, but very rarely, a temporary reversal where the golden becomes the scapegoat briefly, and the scapegoat is given some praise, just before the devastating blows of criticism and abuse circle back to where they've always gone. This only happens when the golden has pushed their own freedoms and choices to the parent enough to enrage the parent momentarily; after the moment of anger subsides, the golden is back on their pedestal of praise, and the scapegoat is punished for the outrage caused by the golden.

I've had to do a lot of research on this, and on childhood/lifelong gaslighting.
Once you begin to learn, you realize the golden is more like the abusive parent in many ways, and such parents usually see their children as extensions of themselves.
So, if the scapegoat doesn't strive for the same goals/ideals/personal beliefs and actions of the parent, it offends the parent, as an extension that shows in their minds to be a failure that "they've" made - not the failure of a certain aspect in raising a child, but as if it's the parent's own personal failure they made for all to see, as they perceive it to be.
Sometimes, it's learned behavior by the parent, in a cycle they experienced and can not break; other times, it's due to various forms and/or depths of narcissism (although both of these situations can be true at once) - and the golden child has copied this narcissism, and the parent is pleased, but the scapegoat has gone the opposite direction and is "overly dramatic", "too sensitive", "over reacts", "a sucker for a bleeding heart story", "a crybaby", "worries about things that aren't their life/problems", etc., etc..

It's a horrific thing, and no child should ever be put through either position, but all loved equally and cherished for who and how they each are, as they own individual selves and persons in their own rights.

These stories are so painful to read, and flood me with memories that I battle daily to push aside and far behind me.
My grandma had a saying that was similar, but diametrically opposed to another one we're all familiar with (Speak of the Devil!):
"Speak of the Sun, and you shall see it's rays."

This right here is called a cookoo for coco puffs narc. I know several of them and try to mess with them at all times by making them feel inferior and stupid. Great tactic once you learn how to set these types over the edge. Pure entertainment.
 
I know FB's can be deceiving but the woman's biological children seem like they are loved and cared for.

The man's daughter appears only once on the woman's FB so could this be a case of the child coming to stay with them and her resentment turned to abuse.

The father's pussy whipped dick refusing to protect his child?
 
“...forcing her to sleep on a concrete floor with no pillow, no blanket and intentionally keeping it cold in the room...”

(I somehow got my comments in italics only; I don’t know how to change it. Thank you for your patience and understanding).

While all of the things done to this girl were horrible, the above sentence bothers me the most. Have you ever laid down on cold concrete? Have you ever tried to sleep on said concrete, with no pillow or blanket to cushion your head or aching joints (want to see if arthritis affects a child? Make your child sleep on cold hard concrete. Then you’ll know.)

What I see when I try to picture this child is how horrible it must have been for her every single night that she was made to sleep in this room, on cold hard concrete with no pillow and no blanket. It’s possible that, because of the abuse inflicted upon her, sleeping was her only respite; her place to relax and try to forget the injustices of the day. But even sleep was stolen from her; to try and sleep on concrete with not a single soft item for a pillow conjures a horrendous torture.

She laid on a hard, cold, unforgivable floor while her “caretakers” slept comfortably inside actual rooms of the house.

They can burn.

I was the scapegoat and my younger sister was the golden child, my parents had me when they were young and I was a burden on them. They waited 7 years to have my sister and when she came along, their lives were instantly sunny. She was/is the highlight of their lives. When I was a kid, I would have killed for an occasional reversal just to see what it’s like to be the apple of someone’s eye.

I hope this little girl is getting everything she needs and deserves right now. One being a nice summer retreat where she gets plenty of rest, excellent food, lots of fun things to do, and just getting to be a kid. A chance to restore that chunk of childhood stolen from her and to heal. I want absolutely nothing but the best for her.

I know exactly where you're coming from @Dead Stephanie , and my heart breaks for your childhood, as much as for my own.
As children, we were helpless, as adults, we can inform ourselves and be aware of toxic relationships and how to behave around those who're toxic, and know when to just walk away or not give then what they're seeking.
Sometimes, a complete break is needed to protect yourself, other times, limited visits can be done, but you must always be alert and in mental defensive mode - even if the defense is simply not to engage and remain silent when the toxicity begins. Sometimes, it's not directed to you at the beginning, but you *know it will eventually come around to you and the focus will remain there* once it arrives.

I hope this can help some of you now, as learning up on such behaviors has helped me considerably and taught me not to take the bait, or to excuse myself and go back to my sanctuary of home where those who love me live.
There are many articles on this subject, this is but one, with good suggestions for what to do and when to do it to protect yourself from these types of ongoing abuse:

These two disgusting monsters have ruined the rest of my day. To think about a helpless child being tortured day after day by a biological parent and his wife- who was pregnant!! Words can't explain the disgust and the anger I feel towards them.

But this judge? District 18 Associate District Judge Tim Mills is one of the last barriers we thought we could count on to keep true monsters like those two away from the rest of us. They are clearly demented and evil on every count! Why on earth would he lower their bonds by 80%?? They deserve to be locked up and kept away from those of us with a normal conscience for the rest of their lives. Why is he already being soft on them??

, who obtained the arrest affidavit, added on Facebook that Schardein would eat snacks while the little girl sat nearby. When the child cried in hunger, Schardein allegedly told her to “shut up.”

The victim added that she had not eaten meat in so long, she had forgotten what it tasted like.

The child also told police, in part, that:
  • Schardein would unplug the security camera and “slings her around the room.”
  • Schardein threatened to “beat her with a stick until she’s dead.”
  • Schardein split her lip open and hit her in the stomach.
  • Menees punched her with his fists and grabbed her to the point that she couldn’t breathe.
  • The suspects made her sleep in wet clothes after forcing her to take cold showers.
  • The suspects called her a “monster” and accused her of sexually assaulting her sister.

-Prosecutors say the dad shaved the girl's head and she's so malnourished, that she looked like the pictures he's seen of a Holocaust survivor.
-The affidavit says the couple told police the girl hurts herself and that's why they tie her up and they say they shaved her head because it was a haircut gone bad and they denied locking the door and said they pulled up the carpet in the room because the girl was using the restroom on the carpet and it smelled.
-It says the couple told police they had videos on their phone of her hurting herself, but, police say they saw no evidence of that on the videos.
-The affidavit says one friend called police, and reported the abuse after seeing bruises on the girl, which led to an investigation and one family member called DHS twice and DHS had been in contact with the family and the girl was supposed to be seeing a counselor.

During the hearing on Tuesday, the couple’s defense lawyer, Brecken Wagner, argued that there was “much more” to the story that had not been told yet.

Menees reportedly told authorities that his daughter had been self-harming. He added that they took a video of the girl banging her head on a wall, but investigators who watched the video said they didn’t see any evidence of the child harming herself.

Both suspects reportedly said they tied the victim up after someone at the Department of Human Services told them to do so, to keep her from harming herself.

The suspects also said that the victim took Ritalin and that they had recently stopped giving it to her because “it didn’t help.” Investigators said the child not only tested negative for the drug but that the suspects filled the prescription on May 13, four days after the child had already been taken into protective custody.

District 18 Associate District Judge Tim Mills initially lowered the suspects’ bond from $500,00 to $100,000. Both Schardein and Menees are scheduled to return to court for another bond hearing on May 28.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I spent way too much time trawling through their FBs lol. There is one photo of the abused girl on her FB and I think only because she is holding the abuser's baby. His FB, although not too frequent of a poster, shows what I assume is his weekend "good daddy" outings with his oldest. He was (is?) in the Navy so I guess more like on leave daddy outings. It's really only after he gets with new GF that those photos stop. I agree he is pussy whipped by new GF who is either jealous of the attention the other woman's child got or just resents the fuck out of her. Maybe for having to raise her? I don't see birth mom mentioned anywhere. I don't know if somehow he got custody or if she was just there for school vacation/corona quarantine. The abused child was obviously in their custody for a while since it was torture and abuse over at least a period of a month according to the news articles. He is a weak, easily manipulated, pussy whipped, malleable waste of space and she seems to be a self centered, jealous bitch. I would really like to know where bio mom is.
 
Someone above mentioned above their FB are open. They still are. People were going totes HAM on the lady monster. Good times.
