E-Texas, umama uhlukumeza izingane zakhe ngesihluku esingacabangeki.

Esehlakalweni esingakholakali, umama wahlukumeza izingane zakhe ngendlela enesihluku neyinhlekelele endlini kanokusho, kwachazwa emaphephandabeni angaphandle njengendlu esabekayo.Izingane eziyisikhombisa ezahlengwa kunina owayezihlukumeza zichaza kabanzi ngeminyaka yokuhlukunyezwa. wazijwayeza kubo, wabaphuzisa igazi elimhlophe, walithela ezithweni zabo zangasese.

Umama, uZekea Duncan, 40, kanye nesoka uJova Terrell, 27, baphume endlini ngesikhathi bethola ukuthi amawele eqe kodwa baboshwa kamuva ngalolo suku eBaton Rouge, okuyindawo ehamba amahora amane ngemoto, ewela eTexas elibangise eLouisiana engumakhelwane.

Amawele ayegcinwa enqunu futhi eboshwe ozankosi endlini yokuwashela, izinyawo zawo ngokuvamile ziboshwa ngamaketanga ensimbi. Izithombe zala mawele bezikhombisa ukusikeka okujulile, imihuzuko nezibazi ezihlakaleni nasemaqakaleni, phakathi kwezinye izingxenye zemizimba yawo.

Umfana uthe uthole ukhiye wozankosi esikhwameni sikanina wawufihla emlonyeni, wabe esephuma endlini ngezithuba zabo-5 ekuseni. Wayegqoke izikhindi ezimfishane kuphela ngesikhathi ebaleka, kanti intombazane yayigqoke ihoodie nebhulukwe elincanyana: bobabili babengazifaki izicathulo ngesikhathi umakhelwane, engqongqoza eminyango eminingi, ebathatha.

Ubaba wezingane, uNicholas Menena, umthwebuli wezithombe nomqondisi wezindaba weGreat Evangelical Baptist Church, ohlala eBaton Rouge nomkakhe, akafunanga ukuphawula ngemibuzo yeDaily Mail.

NgoLwesine, amaphepha okubekwa icala atholwe yi-KHOU e-Houston anemininingwane yochungechunge lokuhlukumeza okunyantisayo. Umsolwa oneminyaka engu-16 ubudala utshele abaphenyi ukuthi unina wake wamnika amaphilisi angu-24 ajwayele ukusetshenziselwa ukungezwani komzimba nemikhuhlane ukuze alale. Umthamo ojwayelekile yiphilisi elilodwa noma amabili njalo emahoreni ayisithupha, nenani eliphakeme lamaphilisi ayi-12 emahoreni angama-24.

Waphoqeleka ukuba alidle lonke iphakethe ngesikhathi esisodwa, futhi amaphilisi ambangela ukuba abe nesithuthwane. U-Duncan wabe esenciphisa umthamo waba amaphilisi angama-20. Udadewabo oyiwele naye wanikezwa izilinganiso eziyingozi zomuthi. Izingane zitshele ababeziphenya ukuthi unina uzithele nge-bleach emphinjeni nasezithweni zangasese ukuze ashise isikhumba sazo.

Kubenze baphuza nezinto zokuhlanza izindlu njengesijeziso uma “bekhuluma kakhulu,” ngokwemibhalo yasenkantolo etholwe yilesi siteshi. UDuncan uvimbe izingane zakhe ukuthi zisebenzise indlu yokugezela, zaphoqeleka ukuthi zizikhiphe indle zizichamele bese zidla ziphuze. Bathe bathola amanzi angcolile kuphela ebhakedeni le-mop abazogeza ngalo.

Lezi zingane zitshele ababeziphenya ukuthi zishaywe kanzima, unina ezisebenzisa izintambo, amakhethini nezinye izinsimbi ukuze azishaye. Futhi isoka lakhe, uTyrell, lalivame ukuhlaba umfana oneminyaka engu-16 ubudala. Amawele abengondlekile kahle ngesikhathi eqa ngoLwesibili, athe abebulawa yindlala, adliswa ukudla okukodwa kuya kwezintathu ngesonto, aphila ngokudla amasemishi.

Kukholakala ukuthi umndeni uthuthele e-Houston kuleli hlobo kuphela, lapho uhlala khona endlini evulekile endaweni ephakeme. Ikhaya, elise-Marina Alto Lane, lidayiswe ngasekupheleni kukaJulayi futhi libiza phakathi kuka-$552.001 no-$627000.

Amaphoyisa abengakaqinisekisi ukuthi uDuncan nesoka lakhe bawuthengile noma bawuqashile yini umuzi. Leli khaya elinamagumbi okulala amane, elinamagumbi okugeza amathathu lihlanganisa igumbi lokuhlala elisemthethweni nelokudlela, igceke elinompheme, igaraji lezimoto ezimbili, kanye nokufinyelela echibini lomphakathi kanye nepaki lamanzi.

UDuncan wake wabekwa icala lokuhlukumeza izingane eminyakeni engu-10 edlule eLouisiana. Intombazane eneminyaka emihlanu ubudala iphuthunyiswe esibhedlela isuka esikoleni iyolashelwa ukusha ezinyaweni, esithweni sangasese nezinye. Odokotela banqume ukuthi kungenzeka kube umphumela wokusha kwamanzi ashisayo. Umfana uphinde wathola imihuzuko emhlane, enqulwini nasezinqeni.

Ngesikhathi amaphoyisa eya kwaDuncan afice ingane enezinyanga ezingu-20 igoqwe ngezingubo iboshwe izandla. Ngokwamaphepha omunye umuntu obesendlini ngumfowabo wengane eneminyaka emine.

Amaphoyisa abika ngaleso sikhathi ukuthi ezinye izingane zikaDuncan ezimbili zakhombisa izimpawu zokuhlukumezeka zakhishwa ekhaya. Bathe uDuncan uvumile ukuthi uke waphenywa ngecala lokuhlukumeza ingane. Ubekwe icala elithi Cruelty to Juveniles, kodwa izingane zagcina zibuyiselwe kuye.
