Yes they did want the tattoos, but Kristian never asked to be chained up. Those children were good they didn't have the guidance, love or care that it takes to raise a child. None of them deserved this not even for skipping on a school day that was two hours long, or having sex with a guy in the neighborhood. YOU CANT BLAME HER FOR FINDING COMFORT IN THIS WHEN SHE HAS BEEN RAPED FOR PRACTICALLY HER WHOLE LIFE! GET OVER IT!!!! NOT Kris, Kristian, Jesse or even Ciarra DESERVED TO BE TREATED THIS WAY. BTW he used to make them run for hours on end as a punishment, EVEN IN THE DEAD OF WINTER. trust me i saw this.

Well, first off this really has nothing to do with any of y'all its between the law, the teenagers, and the Aunt & Uncle. I personally think y'all should stay out of it. Yes, the kids need help. Yes, the Aunt & Uncle need help. But, they don't need to be put down and talked about. Leave Kevin along.....! You can't judge a book by it's cover. Just because Kevin takes up for his Uncle and can't spell doesn't mean he anything like the teenagers or Aunt & Uncle. Hang in there Kevin...! Peace and LOVE--Tabatha Bramblett. The Sister of James Burns son, Raymond Bramblett.

Kevin, you're a white-trash liar, one of many in this town. This is absolutely inhumane treatment of children. I hope these people get life in prison for abusing these kids.

This is to Bryan. This is the first time that Tinnea has had these kids. For the record Tinnea only has 1 child. James is the one with all of the kids by several different women. If you don't know the story shut up. I do not agree with what happen. I think they should be punished for what happen but Tinnea has not had the other 3 kids until here recently that is because they were took from their mother. Tinnea has not had charges against her until now. GET UR STORY STRAIGHT BRYAN!!!!!!!!

THIS IS SICK!!! IT'S A SHAME PEOPLE LIKE THIS EVEN GET A CHANCE IN COURT.AND TO KEVIN SOUNDS LIKE YOU MAY NEED SOME HELP YOURSELF. I PRAY THAT YOU FIND IT,YOU SOUND AS SICK AS THEY ARE.

They should be put in the same position these kids were!! They did not deserve that treatment and they should have that treatment in prison. Who does that to a child? There is no need for mental help. The no mame in Youngstown, I know that God handles all, but there is a time and place where God will handle them!!This is definitely not a good reason for these adults to treat their on kin folks.

Kevin in Callaway, I hope you do not have any children, for their sake. It sounds like you are in the "chain & collar" business yourself. I can not believe you would make a statement upholding such barbaric behaveior. Your uncle admitted he punished the children in this mannor. I am so happy these children found a way to seek help, and bless the teacher who responded and believed in their plight. And thank God the authorities actually went to investigate. I only hope the children are safe and "NEVER" have to go back to those people or to KEVIN OF CALLAWAY.

We should be praying for this couple, for it is not for us to judge them. That is God's judgement. Lift them to the Lord and ask that he make a way in their lives to find our Savior, Jesus Christ and repent of their sins. May God bless all those involved in this horrendous act of inhumanity. Glory to our Father in Heaven. All things happen for a reason.

Kevin,It sounds like you skipped school.Your spelling is way off.Maybe you are just like your uncle.This is so wrong.God bless the children.

Kevin in Callaway. You sound so proud that this man is your uncle. Smoking pot, skipping school and not performing chores sounds to me like lack of parental guidance. God bless and watch over any children that may come into your life. NO HUMAN DESERVES TO BE TREATED LIKE THIS REGARDLESS.

Some of this sounds really far fetched, but there are cases where this has happened. Hopefully if this is aas far fetched as it seems it will all come out in the investigation. I really hope that for the sake of the kids this has not been happening, becasue of the emotional damage that would have been done to them.

I pray the Lord wrap his arms around these children so they feel his presence and know he is going to take care of them.

It's so sad that these kids were not raised in a christian enviroment.I just pray that these kids can be placed in a loving and christian home where they can feel secure and be nurtured. Let them know that all people are not abusive. It seems as if that is all that they have ever known. It's no wonder that they are turning out this way.Please God in the name of Jesus protect them and let them know your love.
