Sentenced: Tyler Parents Charged After Police Find Children In Deplorable State, Begging For Water

[Sugar Cookie]

Two people were arrested this week for child endangerment. Smith County Sheriff’s Office deputies found four children inside a residence that was “extremely dirty.” Some of the children were covered in feces and locked inside a room without clothes.

Katelynn Schengeli was detained and charged with four counts of child endangerment. At 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, deputies also arrested 27-year-old Cory Evans, the father of twin girls and an 11-month-old infant involved in this incident. Evans was charged with four counts of child endangerment and his bond was set at $50,000 for each charge.

The Smith County Sheriff's Office came to her residence Wednesday night after Schengeli's 8-year-old child called 911 because his mother was unresponsive at the location.

Evans and Schengeli are parents of 4-year-old twin girls and an 11-month-old infant, according to the sheriff's office.

When deputies arrived, Schengeli was responsive but under the influence of alcohol, police said. She admitted to drinking liquor earlier Wednesday.

Police said they found the 11-month-old infant and EMS reported the child was covered in feces that had spilled out of an already full diaper. EMS workers had to change the infant’s diaper and clean the feces off.

Law enforcement then heard screaming from across the home and found the 4-year-old twin girls locked inside of a room using a large safe to block the exit door.

One of the twins was begging for water and the other was sleeping on the floor, without clothes and next to a dirty diaper. Both girls were quickly given adequate clothing and water to drink, according to the sheriff's office.

"Upon arrival, investigators entered the residence and observed the living conditions of the mobile home to be extremely inadequate for children," Sgt. Larry Christian, sheriff's office spokesperson, described in a statement. "The residence was extremely dirty and had a very potent odor of feces emitting from each of the rooms."

The twin girls and the 11-month-old infant appeared to be in poor physical shape, and EMS personnel called the children malnourished, noting the 11-month-old was the size of a 3-6-month-old infant, police said.

Child Protective Services was requested and upon the agency's arrival, the kids were removed from the home. The infant and twins were taken to UT Health for a medical evaluation.

That's gross!

Deplorable conditions also seems to make people super fertile.

Poor Katelynn...so close to being a Svengali.

I am child free by choice, for many reasons. One of which is that (due to chronic pain and flat out laziness) I am unable to keep a clean house.

I believe that if you CHOOSE to have little hoomans, you need to also choose to do all of the things necessary to keep those little hoomans safe until they become big hoomans. Katelynn here has failed miserably.

Just disgusting parents. I'm getting an opioid vibe here. Mom looks like she's withdrawing and Dad(?) looks high as fuck.
Good job on the 8 year old. You more than likely saved at least one of your siblings from death and all of you from a lifetime of neglect. I truly hope you all find homes with people who love and cherish you. You deserve nothing less.

Mom unresponsive?

Appears to me that the 8 year old could claim the same if she were completely sober...

She doesn't give a rat's ass about anything but herself.

They look like they’d be in some Indi film staring random losers about nothing

Sterilize them both immediately.
Rehome the kids.
Burn down the trailer home.
Deny this pair water.

This is the problem when people scream that being a drug addict is a victimless crime.

I don't give a shit if people want to kill themselves taking drugs but when they endanger and abuse a child it is not a victimless crime.

 

[thuumpr]

Maybe the dealer should be considered a partner in these crimes - convicted and punished accordingly.

Maybe an abetting crime law?

Child abuse? Dealer abetting child abuse?
Theft? Dealer abetting a theft?
Murder? Dealer committing murder!

A Tyler mother has been sentenced to six years in prison after her children were found in poor physical shape inside a house filled with the smell of feces.

Katelynn Schengeli, 26, entered a guilty plea to injury to a child charge in the 241st District Court, according to online judicial records.

She was then sentenced to six years in prison and received 262 days of credit for time served in the Smith County Jail, records show.

Schengeli and her live-in boyfriend, Cory Evans, 27, were arrested in late December on four counts of child endangerment.

The Smith County Sheriff’s Office said Schengeli’s 8-year-old child called 911 because his mother was unresponsive at the location. When deputies arrived, they found Schengeli responsive but under the influence of alcohol.

She admitted to drinking liquor earlier in the day.

Evans and Schengeli are parents of 4-year-old twin girls and an 11-month-old infant, according to the sheriff’s office.

EMS said the 11-month-old was covered in feces that had spilled out of an already full diaper, which EMS crews removed and changed.

Deputies heard screaming from across the home and found the 4-year-old twin girls locked inside of a room using a large safe to block the exit door.

One of the twins was begging for water and the other was sleeping on the floor, without clothes and next to a dirty diaper. Both girls were given adequate clothing and water to drink, according to the sheriff’s office.

The sheriff's office said the home was "extremely dirty and had a very potent odor of feces emitting from each of the rooms.”

The twin girls and the infant appeared to be in poor physical shape, and EMS personnel called the children malnourished, noting the 11-month-old was the size of a 3 to 6-month-old infant, law enforcement said.

Child Protective Services removed the kids from the home. The infant and twins were taken to an area hospital for a medical evaluation, officials said.
