FARMINGTON, MO. (THECOUNT) — The St. Francois Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday released further disturbing information after four children were found in small rooms, with no windows or plumbing, police said.
Police said Laura Cheatham, a recent former employee of the Missouri Department of Corrections, ordered four kids-size prison inmate uniforms from the Prison Industries Clothing Division.
Cheatham reportedly told the person in charge of the clothing that the uniforms were “for her kids.”
On Tuesday, police said Daryl Head and Cheatham, both 38-year-old, are charged with multiple counts of kidnapping and endangering the welfare of a child. Four children were found living inside boxes “smaller than a jail cell” with no windows, lighting or plumbing inside a Farmington home, police said. source
Police took custody of the uniforms from officials at Farmington Correctional Center along with cardboard patterns that are marked “kids pants”, ‘kids shirt.”
