Micheal Devlin get 170 years for kidnap and sexual abuse charges!

Michael John Devlin is a convicted American child molester currently serving 74 life sentences.  He is known for his confessed kidnapping of two boys, Shawn Hornbeck and Ben Ownby.  On January 12, 2007, Devlin was taken into custody and charged with the abduction four days earlier of 13-year-old William “Ben” Ownby, whom police found that day.  Upon his discovery, law enforcement officials found another missing teenage boy, Shawn Hornbeck, who disappeared on October 6, 2002, at age 11 while riding his bike to a friend’s house in Richwoods, Missouri.  The 2002 abductee lived with Devlin, masquerading as father and son.  He was separated from his family for a total of four years and three months.  Devlin was charged in federal court with four counts of producing child pornography and with two counts of transporting a minor across state lines to engage in sexual activity in both Arizona and Illinois.  He was sentenced to 170 years (in addition to the sentences for kidnapping and rape) for making pornography of one of the boys while in captivity.  Hornbeck is pictured above.

Overcoming child abuse A glorious victory!

Ellonora married you to escaped an abusive adopted family,she began having children one right after another wit her husband. Over the next 13 years  she would have 12 children, 6 of these children died.The remaining children lived in a far from safe home. Years of sexual and physical abuse,and neglect took it's toll on these children ranging from six months to 13 years of age. Ellonora would often leave the oldest child to attend to the children as she worked or chased her drunken husband down. Ellonora's husband often took advantage of his wife's absence to assault the children sexually. Finally law enforcement became involved when she had left the children alone to follow after her husband and had been gone several days. The children were placed in foster homes and criminal charges were filed. Ellonora's husband was charged with physical and sexual abuse, Ellonora was charged with physical abuse and neglect both served time in prison. Five years passed Ellonora remarried and began having more children, with another abusive man. Domestic violence was a daily occurrence, physical abuse such as the children being hit with extension cords,sticks,cursed out, was the normal for these children. Often the physical abuse was perpetrated in front of the extended family. Child protective made often visits however the children were told to lie. Shawntell was born in 1971 to these parents this was after the prison release of the mother.
  Shawntell was the only female child in the household,not sure if this is why there was as many physical attacks on her by the father.Who often hit the boys like they were grown men. Danial the father often attacked the mother as well trying to beat her into submission. Ellonora was every bit as violent as Danial often finding weapons to hit him with such as the old phones that hung on the wall.After the still born child due to domestic violence they divorced. The insanity only got worse for Shawntell there were no parental kidnapping laws back then. Shawntell was never in one place very long,the oldest sister even had custody a few times. The sister seemed to end up with custody after the parents had remarried and the step-parents did not want Shawntell around Candie stepped in and took her little sister in knowing full and well what the household was like often fighting the return of Shawntell to the natural parents. Life continued like  this until Shawntell was in her early teens and met a young man who helped her get away from all the fighting. Was not long after Shawntell found out she was pregnant telling the boy was the scariest thing for her. Because no matter what his opinion was she was keeping the baby.
 Shawntell and Levi had a son the following December nothing in the world could change the love this young mother felt for her child. As life carried on she was alone raising her son and was fine with that decision. Shawntell was vigilant about her child and protecting him form experiences she endured. Her son never knew of the abuse. She dropped out of school and went to work as a maid was not high class job but one that fed and clothed her son. Desperate to make her child's life better she continued working every job available to a teen mother until she turned 18, she began factory work and attended school for higher education.
 Finally Shawntell got a job she loved more than any job she had ever had as an advocate for people living with physical and mental disabilities. She spent long hours trying to make a difference and even helped raise funds for services. Along the way she got to mingle with senators and governors. Shawntell finally felt like a normal person and no one could ever take that from her.

1-800-4-A-CHILD

  Many of these signs get over looked by family and friends. I have noticed behavioral problems in certain children and marked it up to being a child, when in reality this child was being abused and shortly after was placed with the grandparents due to the abuse in the home. 

 1-800-4-A-CHILD  is a good call  to make in saving a child from abuse. If you report child abuse please follow up many times call get passed by operators deciding they did not warrant an investigation. Call 911 if you are witnessing child abuse first hand a violent attack on a child by an adult is never acceptable.

Vincent Hill March 27,2010

Vincent Hill was tortured for weeks prior to his death March 27,2010. Neighbors had called child protective 2 weeks prior. Vincent is one of many Kansas that have lost the battle with child abuse
paying the ultimate price. Vincent was 19 months old two adults took his life. Katheryn Dale, Vincents mother participated in torturing Vincent,along with her live in boyfriend Chad Carr.
Vincent appears to be a happy healthy child in photos. Many things were wrong in this childlife and death. Neighbors had made calls to child protective after hearing Vincent screams from the street! Katheryn plead guilty on September 30 she received 34 months in prison for her roll in Vincents death. Her participation as well as allowing Chad to abuse her son. She is expected to testify against Chad Carr. Vincent was beyond beaten he was tortured at 19 months old.
Child Protective was never held accountable for their roll in Vincents death. The hotline personal decided this call did not warrant an investigation. Within in weeks Vincent was dead at the hands of his abusers.
