A stepfather accused of forcing his 12-year-old stepdaughter to run outside in a diaper with her head shaven as punishment for a bad grade has pleaded guilty. 34-year-old Darnell Alan Landrum on Monday answered to the charge of gross misdemeanor aiding and abetting malicious punishment. He also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor domestic assault case from 2010 for repeatedly hitting the girl in the legs with a belt. Landrum is facing up to two months in jail over the abuse.
It comes one week after the girl's 38-year-old mother, Ann Broten, pleaded guilty to gross misdemeanor malicious punishment of a child over the same incident. She could be jailed for up to a year. The couple were arrested after Broten shaved her daughter's head and forced her to pick up garbage from the street while wearing nothing but a diaper and a tank top.
She said it was punishment for bringing home an 'F' on her report card. Fridley police were called to the home they shared by concerned neighbors in May of this year. She told officers it was her third time on 'diaper duty', the Star Tribune reported. When they arrived they found a crowd of about 50 people watching the young girl, who was hysterical and begging to be allowed back into the house.
Officers were told the 12-year-old was outside for around half an hour before they were called. They arrested the couple on suspicion of gross-misdemeanor malicious punishment of a child. According to the Pioneer Press, they told police they were punishing the girl for not bringing home good grades from school and for failing to do her homework.
Fridley Police Lt Mike Monsrud said: 'They told her if she didn't, they would shave her head and put her on "diaper duty", which I guess meant running up and down the street and cleaning up trash as a form of public humiliation. 'Through the whole contact, and even on the way to jail, both were laughing and thinking it was ridiculous police would get involved in what they said was their parental decision.'
The 12-year-old and the woman's three other children were placed in foster care. Child Protection Services have been called to the home before after reports of 'physical abuse'. None of the children had any signs of physical abuse on this occasion. Witness June Campbell told the Star Tribune she saw the girl standing at her backdoor crying, saying, 'Can I come in? Can I come in' but the mother just looked at the girl.

When I was 12 u couldnt get me to do ? that I thought was off the wall. No one not my parents or older siblings. most kids aint like that though,especially a lil girl.
These people have mental.issues or are just plain evil. -
Imagine bein' the real dad and findin' out about this ? ?
-
I'm sure foster care will produce the desired results...
-
To be fair though...Its the third time its happened...Its quite clear diaper duty doesn't work

Exactly, my parents couldn't get me to embarrass myself like that.
I'll walk around with a black eye before I wear a.diaper and pick up trash. -
You got 50 people gathered around your half dressed 12yo daughter..over an F??
Posting a FB message to ward off potential predators is too extreme, but this is 'not anybody's business?
Please..disgusting.
-
this is extreme, but they only hurting they own kid... thats the diff...
-
Oh my bad, its cool then.
Foh. -
if u can't see the difference, I dont know what to tell u ma'am...

You obviously had no interest in secondary education.
Grades in high school are crucial when it comes to getting into a good school and qualifying for scholarships and grants.
Edit - It's not that crucial at 12 though...her parents were being evil. -

To blame the step father or the mother or the real father?

[sarcasm] Be careful threadstarter, posting pics might get this moved to donkey; it's clear that you're making fun of the mother and victim [/sarcasm]

Another case of idiot parenting focused more on the consequences of a childs behavior rather than the antecedents.
-
It is a little extreme but kids have it easy these days. I was getting whoop with extension cords butt ass naked for F's LOL
-
I'd take a beating over humiliation.
I can endure the ass kicking and pain, that's short term. Humiliation is hard to live down, especially when it's headlines.
This ? is wrong on all levels, you don't humiliate a child, that parenting is wrong. -
Alot of this ? is just self pride imo, if i ever got lower than a B i felt like ? in school. It's about the school environment too, if youre kids are in a school where failing is normal, it manifests itself imo. That's why most inner city school ain't ? , teachers don't care, low self esteem kids who make fun of smart kids,etc.
