## Resource

A man sentenced to 42 years — possibly life — for horrific child abuse and neglect, including forcing his 11-year-old stepdaughter to give birth at home without medical care, with DNA confirming his paternity. The girl, deprived of prenatal care and medical attention for over a year, suffered unimaginable trauma — a case prosecutors call among the worst they’ve seen. His wife faces charges for enabling abuse, and multiple children in the home were neglected amid years without running water. Walker must serve 85% of his sentence before parole and will be a registered sex offender for life. The child’s lifelong trauma and the broader failure to protect vulnerable kids remain haunting consequences of this tragedy.
