🚨 AUGUST 20 GUILTY PLEA: Registered s*x offender who was legally barred from going within 500 feet of a park playground admitted a federal child s*xual abuse material crime after a ranger found two unrelated boys, ages 8 and 12, inside his car and later uncovered hidden-camera videos of the older child. When confronted with the first phone findings, Michael Edward Barton ran toward the vehicle and grabbed the 12-year-old boy’s arm before the ranger used a Taser and handcuffed him.

The case began on November 12, 2023, when a Missouri State Park Ranger spotted Barton at Elephant Rocks State Park in Iron County and ran his license plate. The check showed that Barton was a registered s*x offender who could not legally be near the park’s playground, leading the ranger to stop him and find both boys inside his vehicle.

Barton, now 46, gave the ranger the passcode to one phone. The device contained a YouTube account he had failed to register, shirtless photos of the 12-year-old and images of a second phone displaying Snapchat conversations with the boy that included adult po*******hy.

After Barton was stopped with the Taser, he allowed the ranger to search the second phone. That device held more photos and videos of the older boy, including footage recorded by a camera Barton had hidden inside his home.

Missouri State Highway Patrol investigators later obtained a search warrant and said the phones contained evidence of s*xual abuse involving the children. State prosecutors charged Barton in November 2023 with child molestation, statutory so**my and TWO counts of s*xual exploitation of a child, but those allegations are separate from his federal guilty plea and their current status was not explained in the latest federal announcement.

Barton pleaded guilty in federal court in St. Louis to possessing child s*xual abuse material and failing to update his s*x-offender registration. The possession count carries 10 to 20 years in federal prison, while the registry count carries up to another 10 years. His sentencing is scheduled for November 18, and Missouri’s official registry currently lists him as INCARCERATED.

The registry shows Barton was already required to register because of a 2008 Illinois conviction for possessing child s*xual abuse material. A routine license-plate check at the park exposed the new case.

Parents, if an adult starts privately messaging your child, keeps personal pictures of them or takes them somewhere without your knowledge, stay calm when you ask what happened. Tell your child they will not be punished for showing you the messages, preserve the original device and contact police instead of confronting the adult alone.

🚨 AUGUST 21 ARREST: A Walton, Kentucky father is accused of open-hand slapping his 3-month-old daughter across the face and gripping her face and the back of her head in a “vice-like” hold for about 19 seconds. He then allegedly SUFFOCATED the crying baby FOUR TIMES by covering her nose and mouth for 11, 13, 10 and 10 seconds while her arms and legs flailed.

The seven-minute nanny-camera recording was captured inside the family’s living room between 9:51 and 9:58 a.m. on August 19. Police said Shaun Christopher Webb, 36, moved the crying infant from a couch, placed her on the floor and slapped her before the repeated suffocation began, later yelling “Stop crying” and “You’re gonna learn.”

An out-of-state family member received the footage from Webb’s wife, who is the children’s mother, and turned it over to deputies. The mother is not facing charges.

Police said Webb admitted the actions captured on camera and claimed crying triggered him like “nails on a chalkboard.” He allegedly said he covered his daughter’s mouth and nose to “deprive her of oxygen,” described it as training her behavior and compared raising children to training som**hing “like a dog.”

Webb’s 2-year-old son was inside the room while his baby sister was allegedly abused. When detectives questioned Webb about the boy, police said he admitted using the SAME suffocation m**hod on his son about FOUR TIMES before the child turned 9 months old.

Webb now faces TEN counts of first-degree criminal abuse. Every count is a Class B felony carrying 10 to 20 years in prison under Kentucky law if convicted, although the court would decide whether any sentences run together or separately. The latest available record showed Webb inside the Boone County Jail on $500,000 bond.

Authorities have not publicly released whether either child suffered a diagnosed injury, needed hospital care or entered protective custody. Webb has not been convicted, and the case remains pending.

Parents, if someone says your baby’s crying makes them feel out of control or you see them handling the baby roughly, do not leave that child alone with them. Get the children somewhere safe, preserve any original camera footage and call 911 or your local child-protection agency.

🚨 AUGUST 18 GUILTY PLEA: Police found registered s*x offender Alex James Wall, 39, inside a Mankato, Minnesota, hotel room with a N**E 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL in bed with him. Investigators then recovered 57 videos showing s*xual acts involving the child on her phone, including files that referred to editing the footage, while Wall was already serving FIFTEEN YEARS OF PROBATION from another child-s*x case involving a 13-year-old girl.

Wall targeted the second child for nearly TWO YEARS, beginning in April 2023 when she was only 14 and continuing until police entered that hotel room on March 6, 2025. Federal prosecutors said he coerced and pressured her into s*xually explicit conduct so the abuse could be recorded and turned into child s*xual abuse material.

The girl told police she and Wall had been smoking m**h and having s*x before they reached the hotel. Officers found her n**e in the bed that morning, ending a trail of abuse federal investigators traced through dozens of videos dating back to 2023. The FBI said Wall s*xually abused and exploited the child, then recorded that abuse for his own purposes.

And this was not his first child victim. Wall already had a third-degree criminal s*xual conduct conviction involving a 13-year-old girl, which placed him on the predatory-offender registry and under supervision for 15 years. That probation was still active when he began exploiting another girl.

Wall pleaded guilty in federal court to receiving child s*xual abuse material and now faces a MANDATORY MINIMUM of 15 years in prison. His sentencing date has not been announced.

Parents, please do not assume probation or the offender registry means someone is watching every message or every move. If your child ever calls from a hotel, party, car or adult’s home and asks to leave, go get them first. Deal with the lying, drugs or anything else after they are safely home.

🚨 WARNING: READ THE FULL ARTICLE🚨 AUGUST 20 SENTENCING: Marcel Moreland admitted ra**ng, molesting and repeatedly s*xually exploiting an infant from the time she was only ONE MONTH OLD until she was six months old, and a Georgia judge sentenced him to LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE PLUS 490 YEARS.

Moreland, 27, entered a non-negotiated guilty plea to 25 felony counts in Cobb County Superior Court in Marietta, Georgia. The counts included r**e, child molestation, in**st and repeated s*xual exploitation of the baby. His plea came without an agreed sentence, leaving Judge Robert Leonard to decide his punishment.

The in**st count establishes that Moreland and the infant had a legally defined family relationship, but officials have not publicly said exactly how he was related to her. They also have not released how investigators uncovered the abuse or the specific acts behind every exploitation count.

Cobb County prosecutors pushed for a sentence that would make sure Moreland could NEVER reach another child. Assistant District Attorney Brittany Hutton carried the case into court for a baby who could not speak for herself, and Judge Leonard imposed life without any chance of parole before adding another 490 years.

The sentence cannot undo five months of abuse during the most helpless stage of this child’s life. But Moreland will never walk free again.

Parents, if someone has private access to your baby, never ignore unexplained injuries, unusual pain during diaper changes or sudden panic around one caregiver. Get the baby medically checked and somewhere safe first. An infant cannot explain what happened, so even a small warning sign deserves attention.

🚨 AUGUST 20 COURT UPDATE: Levy Nelson, 41, is accused of opening fire inside a Richmond, Virginia, home, shooting his OWN 14-year-old daughter in the head, killing her 18-year-old brother and wounding their mother. Zion Terry died at the scene, while Sadie Terry fought for three days before dying at the hospital. Their mother, Tiffany Terry, survived the same attack.

The gunfire erupted just before 10 a.m. on April 21 inside the family’s Highland Park home near Burns Street and 5th Avenue, where one of the wounded victims managed to call 911. A search warrant said officers found one victim in the foyer with blood and spent cartridge cases visible, while detectives seized bullets, a firearm, DNA swabs, a knife, a fingernail, teeth and a phone from the house.

Police said Nelson fled in a gray Ford F-150 as several departments searched for him. Community tips and license-plate cameras helped Henrico officers find the truck hours later, but Nelson allegedly rammed THREE police cruisers while trying to escape before officers boxed him in and arrested him. One officer was injured during the capture.

Nelson now faces TWO counts of aggravated murder, aggravated malicious wounding, child abuse and several firearm felonies, including possessing a gun as a convicted violent felon. Two earlier charges were dismissed in juvenile court only because the same allegations were already pending in Richmond Circuit Court.

Nelson’s attorneys requested a psychological evaluation in June. The results returned on August 20 and found him competent to stand trial, clearing the case to move forward on April 19, 2027.

Zion carried a 4.4 GPA, stood weeks away from graduating near the top of his class and planned to attend Winston-Salem State University before becoming a nurse. His classmates named him prom king after his death. Sadie was an eighth-grade student, a peer mentor and her mother’s only daughter who dreamed of joining the military and becoming an engineer.

Tiffany called Zion her protector and said Sadie was her princess. After surviving the shooting and losing both children, she said, “A mother is not supposed to bury their children.”

🚨 AUGUST 18 ARRESTS: THREE CHILDREN, ages 5, 11 and 16, were removed from a dilapidated home in Elkhorn City, Kentucky, that REEKED OF AMMONIA, with black mold covering the refrigerator and DEAD BUGS inside it. Troopers said one child was found wearing ONLY A T-SHIRT.

Kentucky State Police arrived at the Regina Belcher Highway home with a Department for Community Based Services worker at about 5:30 p.m. after allegations of environmental neglect. They could hear young children and a dog inside, but nobody answered the door until a girl barely opened it after a trooper knocked on the window.

The child said her father was gone and her mother was working inside a bedroom and could not come to the door. Timothy MacDonald, 41, then arrived on a red ATV and initially refused to let authorities inside, allegedly admitting he was embarrassed because the home was bad.

A records check found SIX active arrest warrants for Timothy and FOUR for Lana MacDonald, 39. Lana eventually came outside but also refused to let troopers enter, reportedly saying she would not let them inside if she was going to jail. With both adults being arrested and nobody else available to protect the children, Timothy finally instructed his oldest daughter to open the door.

That was when troopers entered and found the overwhelming ammonia odor, badly deteriorated living conditions and the refrigerator covered in black mold and filled with dead insects. All three children were immediately placed into protective custody and turned over to social workers.

Timothy and Lana were charged with second-degree criminal abuse and booked into the Pike County Detention Center along with their outstanding warrants. By August 22, neither remained listed inside the jail, but public reports did not explain their release or bond conditions.

Parents and relatives, if a child says there is no clean food, no clean clothing or nobody can see inside their home, DO NOT brush it off as family business. Ask when they last ate, bathed and slept somewhere clean. If the child appears sick, abandoned or in immediate danger, call 911. For ongoing unsafe living conditions, contact local child protective services and let trained workers check the home.

🚨 AUGUST 21 ARREST: Esaw Owens III, 37, a Louisiana SCHOOL BUS DRIVER AND COACH, was arrested after police say he discussed PAYING FOR SEXUAL ACTS INVOLVING A CHILD during an undercover trafficking chat in Alexandria. The man employed to drive students and coach children now faces attempted trafficking of children for s*xual purposes and purchase of commercial s*xual activity charges.

Louisiana State Police Special Victims Unit, the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office and FBI ran the operation across Alexandria and surrounding areas. Undercover officers communicated directly with Owens about s*xual acts in exchange for money, collected information during the chat and arrested him before booking him inside the Rapides Parish Correctional Facility.

Rapides Parish booking records placed a $50,000 bond on EACH charge, bringing his total bond to $100,000. State Police have not released the child’s alleged age, the amount of money discussed or whether Owens arranged a meeting because the investigation remains active.

At the time of his arrest, Owens worked for the Rapides Parish School Board as a bus operator and CECP coach serving children in the Ward 10 community. His job placed him behind the wheel of a school bus and beside children as their coach until the district suspended him pending the investigation.

The school board said it has not received evidence that Owens targeted any student or committed illegal activity while driving the bus or working as a coach. Police have not accused any Rapides Parish student of being involved, but investigators continue reviewing the information collected during the undercover operation.

A SECOND MAN was arrested through the same operation in a separate case. Jamartez Jones, 24, of Natchez, faces attempted trafficking of children for s*xual purposes and purchasing commercial s*xual activity involving someone under 18. His bond was also set at $100,000, although police stressed that his case and Owens’s case were independent.

Parents, if a coach, bus driver or school employee privately messages your child about s*x, money, gifts or keeping secrets, save everything. Go directly to police and the school, even if the person is popular or trusted in the community. A job around children should never protect an adult from hard questions.

🚨 AUGUST 19 UPDATE: Maurice Parms, 51, accused of beating 15-year-old Ja’Derrius Minnieweather to death after the boy confronted him over his alleged s*xual behavior toward a 16-year-old girl. Investigators say Parms hid Ja’Derrius’s body inside a TRASH CAN and left it to be hauled away with garbage, while witnesses described a beating that continued for SEVERAL MINUTES as a soft voice BEGGED the attacker to stop.

Police found large bloodstains soaked into the ground where the attack allegedly happened. Surveillance reportedly showed Parms dragging a trash can to the road, riding away on a child’s bicycle and discarding a mask, gloves and T-shirt before returning for them. Investigators also found blood inside his truck, including the same area where footage allegedly showed him wiping the vehicle with a rag.

A camera on the back of the garbage truck reportedly captured Ja’Derrius’s body being unloaded into the East Baton Rouge Parish North Landfill in Zachary, Louisiana. Crews wearing full protective gear searched for SIX WEEKS through about 4,000 tons of landfill waste, working in heat indexes above 100 degrees before recovering the remains. DNA confirmed August 19 that the child buried beneath the waste was Ja’Derrius.

The murder investigation also exposed horrifying allegations involving the 16-year-old girl. She told police Parms s*xually assaulted her on THREE occasions and knew exactly how old she was. Investigators found messages between them and Cash App payments he allegedly sent for food and other necessities, while an arrest warrant says Parms told her he would keep helping if she kept helping him. The girl believed he meant the money would continue only if she performed the s*xual acts he wanted.

Police first arrested Parms June 10 on indecent behavior and computer-aided solicitation charges involving the girl, then charged him with first-degree murder June 20. On August 14, authorities added second-degree r**e, trafficking of children for s*xual purposes and indecent behavior with juveniles. He remains locked inside the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison without bond on the murder charge, with another $600,000 bond attached to the s*xual charges.

Parents, if a teen says an adult is s*xually targeting a friend or paying for necessities while demanding access in return, help them report it safely. They should NEVER confront that adult alone.

🚨 AUGUST 21 GUILTY PLEA: Ryan Gerard, 34, admitted s*xually assaulting a 6-year-old girl who called him “Uncle” inside her Midland County, Michigan, home during a family gathering. He accepted the deal only THREE DAYS before the child, now 7, was expected to testify against him at trial.

The girl and Gerard are not related, but her father and Gerard grew up together and she called him “Uncle.” The assault happened in April 2025 and was reported May 11. Gerard was arrested August 11, posted a $100,000 cash surety bond September 2 and remained free for NEARLY A YEAR before his guilty plea returned him to the Midland County Jail.

Prosecutors first offered Gerard the plea January 15, 2026, but he rejected the SAME DEAL THREE TIMES. He finally pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal s*xual conduct involving a child under 13 and accosting a child for immoral purposes. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss a second child-s*xual-conduct charge, and the agreement includes a 71-MONTH SENTENCING CAP under a court evaluation.

Gerard remains jailed while waiting for sentencing, which has not been scheduled.

Parents, before family gatherings, remind children that being called “uncle,” “aunt,” family friend or any other trusted name does not remove boundaries. If your child suddenly avoids someone or asks not to be left alone with them, talk privately and listen without blame or punishment.

🚨 AUGUST 18 SENTENCING: Michael Salas, 52, of San Antonio, Texas, was sentenced to 256 months in federal prison after spending months BLACKMAILING an 11-year-old Minnesota girl through social media, pressuring her until she sent s*xual photos and a video, then demanding even more from the child.

In March 2025, NCMEC and law enforcement received an anonymous report that the girl was being blackmailed online. Investigators traced the account across state lines to Salas, who carried out the exploitation from his San Antonio home. On March 9, after repeated pressure, the child sent him a video, but Salas immediately pushed her to produce more explicit material.

When FBI agents caught him, Salas attempted to take his own life, but agents intervened. He later pleaded guilty on February 11 to production and attempted production of child s*xual abuse material. A federal judge in St. Paul called the conduct depraved and cruel, warned that the damage to the girl could follow her for life and sentenced Salas to more than 21 years, while prosecutors described him as a repeat and dangerous s*x offender.

Parents, if your child uses social media, tell them before any problem happens that they can come to you after sending som**hing or hiding a conversation and they will not be punished. If anyone threatens them over an image, do not pay, negotiate or send more. Save the username and messages, preserve the device and report it to police or NCMEC at 1-800-THE-LOST.
