ELIZABETHTOWN — An Elizabethtown man was arrested and charged Monday with two counts of first-degree criminal abuse after a police investigation revealed multiple injuries to the man’s 4-month-old twin sons.

Steve Markopoulos, 30, admitted to the abuse, police said, which resulted in broken ribs and a broken leg for one twin and broken ribs and two broken legs for the other.

Police were alerted of the situation Sunday when they responded to a call at Hardin Memorial Hospital.

Upon arriving, police met with Child Protective Services and learned a 4-month old boy at the hospital had been diagnosed with broken ribs. The mother, Mary E. Blanton, 21, was with the child, but told police she was unaware of how the baby sustained the injuries.

Further examination revealed fractures in both legs, leading police to retrieve the other children in the home — the boy’s twin brother and a 2-year-old girl — and return to HMH for examinations.

Det. Kelly Slone said the daughter was not harmed, but the twin brother’s examination also revealed broken ribs, as well as a broken leg.

The children were flown to Kosair Children’s Hospital for additional examination, according to Elizabethtown police.

Markopoulos was lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center, and the children were released into Blanton’s care. Slone said EPD had no reason to believe Blanton was involved in or knew about the abuse occurring in the home.

Ok, first off, we need to break every bone in his body and give him no pain killers! Then let Bubba have him!

Secondly, how in the hell can a mother not know her babies are hurt and how it happened? Does she have a brain in her head? Does she have eyes or is she blind? Stupid bitch.............

That's what I'm wondering. Maybe he fed her some bullshit excuses and she bought it.
 
Well, she's probably tired from having twins and all ... hell no, how could you not know your child -no wait, two children are having broken bones???? Especially when they are not your first ones, so you have kinda been there knowing the difference between the normal cries and pain...

Not happy that the twins were returned, hopefully there's some sort of "surveillance".

Be safe, baby boys.
 
I heard that baby bones do not break easily. They are soft and spongey. It takes a lot of mean force to break a bone. Maybe that's not true, but I've been under that belief for so long, while all abuse disturbs me, the broken baby bone ones really get me.
 
So awful...

He has two boys he was blessed with, and I'll assume the little girl is his too...what a shame that he would treat precious treasures the way I'd treat him if I got my hands on him.

I hope this young mother has the sense to be good to her children...she will need a lot of support with a 2 yr. old and baby twins to keep it together.

Be happy, be well little ones.

Why would you name yourself after your dad? How very curious. Was it by accident? I know I sound snarky, but I'm not, I'm genuinely curious..

It sounds like your mom was just trying her best. I'm sorry you've been hurt by comments about her.

No one you're talking to is here anymore... one of them, Peeper Ann, is in fact banned from here.
 
@markopoulos if you are going through the internet to find any mention of that event in order to have a place where you can talk to people that understand what you went through then you came to the right place as we all have our pass we have to deal with ... if that was not your intention then i would just tell you that opening old wounds without having a plan in place to help them heal only makes them bleed more. i am very sorry about what you and your brothers went through and i sure hope you all found a loving and caring home along the way ....

it’s not just a “thread” it’s my life. he is still to this day telling me it wasn’t him, it was the drugs. and i don’t believe him. he told me he remembered hearing the bones snap. that’s my father, those are my brothers he hurt. he didn’t break my bones but he did smother me on multiple occasions.
 
@markopoulos the only advise or words of incouragements i can give you are the same i gave all my (foster) kids.... don't let what happened to you, when you had no control over it, define who you are but learn from it and be the best YOU possible... sounds like a tall order but if taken one day at a time makes the journey so much easier... alot of us here had a miserable past from being physically, mentally, emotionally or sexually abused (and sometimes all of them), to not being believed and even severely punished and called liars when we told and we all found a way to heal ourselves some of us nearly hit bottom while others had counselling, pschycologist, a great support group or did it all on our own... that is why we have no tolerance for bios that abuse or let their children be abused and at times we are very harsh on those parents... the first job of any parent, no matter if bio, foster, step, adopted or just live in, is the wellfare and needs of the child(ren) they come before your needs and wants... drugs or booze on more than just occasionnally and kids don't belong together ... adults have the choice so no excuse for their bad behaviour ..........
