Twocrows And The Kubies: A Band of Abusers
February 8, 2008 by impqueen
UPDATE 10/08/08 - Sharon Twocrows and Chasity Kubie were each sentenced to seven years in prison for their roles in the abuse of Twocrows’ four-year-old grandson. The seven-year sentences were the maximum allowed under Missouri law for a single count of felony child abuse. Twocrows and Kubie pled guilty in June. Paul Kubie will face a jury trial on December 18. He is being tried on four charges of endangering the welfare of a child and one count of child abuse, all Class C felony charges punishable by up to seven years in prison per count.
It’s not justice, but it’s something.
Joplin, MO - Sharon Twocrows, 50, is a nurse and a grandmother. Her son Paul Kubie, 27, is a Navy recruiter. Paul’s wife Chasity Kubie, 26, is a stay-at-home mother and aunt. They all live together with the Kubie’s two daughters and two nephews. And now, they’re all in the Newton County jail together, facing multiple felony charges for child abuse and endangerment.
A well-timed hot line call sent Newton County sheriff’s deputies and DFS workers to the south Joplin home at 8:10 a.m. Monday. Authorities found a 4-year-old boy, a 2-year-old girl and a 4-month-old girl inside the home with no running water and three toilets full of unflushed feces. There were trash piles in every room. The kitchen counters and sink were full dirty dishes and rotting food. All the children were taken into protective custody, along with the 4-year-old’s 5-year-old brother, who was found at school.
Most of the abuse charges center on the 4-year-old boy. He and his brother were the Kubie’s nephews and Twocrows’ grandsons. One parent is incarcerated; the other is dead. When the 4-year-old was removed from his home and taken to a hospital on Monday, he weighed 22 pounds, 8 ounces.
When hospital nurses started feeding the child, he ate all of it and asked for more until his nurses worried he might make himself sick. Not only was the child starving, several bruises were of concern – including some that looked like restraint marks. The little boy told how “sometimes†he got to eat “with everyone else.†But when he was in trouble, he had to stand on his bed while the everyone else ate. When the hungry child got up in the middle of the night to find food, his grandmother and aunt started tying him “good and tight” to his bed at night with grandma’s white nursing-shoe shoestrings.
Sometimes he got “spanked†with a belt or paddle by his grandma and uncle. And sometimes that left marks as well. All the allegations were confirmed by the adults or the older boy in the home. In addition, the older boy reported being beaten, and the 2-year-old girl, the Kubie’s daughter, had a bruise on her lower back in the shape of a running shoe. Nice parenting, that.
Twocrows was charged with four counts of felony child endangerment and two counts of felony child abuse. The Kubies both face four counts of felony endangerment and a count of child abuse. Chasity Kubie faces an additional count of child abuse The Kubies and Twocrows were being held Wednesday in the Newton County Jail on $250,000 bond each.
On a personal note, I really hope that Sheriff Copeland and the Newton County boys rip this family up in the courtroom. Newton County’s dealt with quite enough in the last year between church shootings and Rowan Ford’s murder.
UPDATE 5/29/08 – Paul Kubie will be arraigned on Monday, June 9, in Newton County Circuit Court. Chasity Kubie waived a pretrial hearing in MarchMarch reviews
and was bound over for trial. She has a pretrial conference on June 16. Interestingly, her name is being spelled “Chastity” in some news outlets, but the court documents at Missouri’s Casenet have her as “Chasity”, so I’m gonna go with that.
Sharon Twocrows also waived her preliminary hearing in March, and was bound over for trial. Her pretrial conference is scheduled for 9 a.m. June 2. All three defendants will go before Judge Tim Perigo in Newton County. C’mon, Newton County – throw down one for justice on this case. (Note: Her case has been continued until June 16.)
UPDATE 6/19/08 – After two continuances in pre-trial, Sharon Twocrows pled guilty yesterday to two counts of felony child abuse and four counts of felony child endangerment. She will be sentenced on July 17, 2008. Paul and Chasity Kubie have been bound over for trial in Newton County.

That’s it I’m moving! Man what the fuck is going on in Missouri. Four years old and only 22lbs, I’m glad they got these children out before they killed them.
10:01 am on February 8th, 2008
Give me the kids, you won’t even have to pay me. Just give me them. Please.
10:14 am on February 8th, 2008
God, I am too fucking pissy for this shit. I just want to slap them all. Christy looks as though she needs to eat as well. Jesus, at least these babies are all alive, and hopefully will never be in the care of these sick fucks again.
btw I hate the look on Twocrows face. What a bitch.
10:17 am on February 8th, 2008
She has that Sante Kimes look.
10:29 am on February 8th, 2008
She’s a NURSE? How fucking horrific is that?
10:31 am on February 8th, 2008
Damn! I couldn’t figure out where I thought I knew her from.
Besides the fact that they obviously abused these children physically, how fucking lazy do you have to be to live in a place like that. I bet that house reeked!! No running water? How did Ms. Twocrows get all that black dye in her hair?
10:59 am on February 8th, 2008
The mother looks really distraught, sucks to get caught. I’m a bit of a clean freak, how could you leave feces built up in the toilet how disgusting. I hope those kids end up well cared for. It would be nice if they could stay together.
11:05 am on February 8th, 2008
Sorry if I offend anyone, but what the hell is wrong with Missouri??? I wouldnt move there if my life depended on it. Shit, if I did live there I would move out!
11:12 am on February 8th, 2008
I live here and I love it.
Kids are abused and killed daily. Just because someone wrote a story well enough that it got picked up by the MSM doesn’t make our state worse than others.
11:13 am on February 8th, 2008
The nurse hag looks like she has been hiding all the food in her cheeks! Poor babies~ thank god someone reported those f&*&ers.
1:04 pm on February 8th, 2008
I didn’t get this one from the MSM, even – I got it from the Joplin Globe. Although we did get a tip about this story after I’d had it mostly written from a smart reader, too
Newton County has had its share of rough cases this year. It’s the meth, mostly. Missouri has two faces: the community where I live has one of the highest rated school systems in the United States and almost no crime. Missouri has had many communities rated as the best places to raise kids. It’s the methamphetamine and redneck-fueled underbelly that’s scary. And often, the two aren’t separated by much except money and a few miles.
It’s no different than any other state, really.
1:10 pm on February 8th, 2008
Exactly.
1:35 pm on February 8th, 2008
TwoCrows’ name needs to be changed to OneAsshole. What a look on her face. Sonny doesn’t look bright enough to breed. And Chastity — why would anyone name their child after sexual abstinence?
Sick how some families smooth over their differences by abusing one child. Everyone can agree that naughty child has to stand on the bed and watch the GOOD family bond by eating together. God knows what these children have been taught is normal behavior.
And she’s a nurse! God grant me death before I come under her care!
1:51 pm on February 8th, 2008
Oooo what was that kid’s name who wrote all the books about being the “bad one” ..Phiser, Felter ?
1:54 pm on February 8th, 2008
Yes, folks, this guy is a Navy recruiter. And Chasity’s parents couldn’t spell well enough to name her after abstinence or even after Sonny and Cher’s kid. She’s named after misspelled abstinence.
Right now that’s really funny to me.
1:54 pm on February 8th, 2008
David Pelzer, i think.
1:56 pm on February 8th, 2008
Yep, thats it.
2:21 pm on February 8th, 2008
It’s cases like this that make me a fan of mandatory sterilisation.
Some people should be pelted to death with their own sh*t before they should be allowed to have kids.
Seems like here that would be a fitting punishment
2:23 pm on February 8th, 2008
I can’t figure out Chasity. Is she making a face or does she have the asymmetrical face thing going on?
7:26 pm on February 8th, 2008
I like that idea. But they’ll have to pelt themselves. I won’t touch it! Having to pelt yourself to death with your own shit has got to be a memorable punishment. Should be carried out in public, too.
I had noticed that Mom and Son have a droopy left side of their mouths, and Chas has a droopy right side. But now that you mention it, Chas’ raised right eyebrow mirrors Mom’s hooked left eyebrow. Is this a search for biological balance among the asymmetrical — or is Chas just a people pleaser?
7:43 pm on February 8th, 2008
They look like they all need facial moisturizer and chap stick. Their lips are screaming…..CHAPSTICK!
8:48 pm on February 8th, 2008
Number one, being a Nurse myself, this one bothered me so I checked and this woman is not listed on the Mo. Board of Nursing as ever having a license. Number two, no woman who calls herself a grandmother would ever act like this if she was a caring nurse. I just don’t understand some people, how can they treat their children with this much hate? I don’t want to hear that the devil made them do it. They all need broom handles run up their bottoms and broken off….never mind…..I am a nurse and shouldn’t think this way!
11:14 pm on February 8th, 2008
she might work for Oxford and a lot of people consider them “nurses” even tho they arent. But they wear scrubs so most make that mistake. My shack-up -inlaw works for Oxford and people are always asking what kind of nurse she is. But these are pretty piss poor people to do that to kids. Hell my kids were at 22 pounds before they were two.
11:24 pm on February 8th, 2008
I checked that too, and you’re right. Sharon Twocrows actually works for a nursing home in Webb City, MO. They are not happy about being called to ask for her job title
The family moved to Missouri not long ago, but I’m not sure from where – so the facility may be letting her practice pending reciprocal licensure, or else she’s working as a CMT or CNA and just told the police she worked as a nurse. Or police saw the scrubs and assumed. My brother had worked at that facility at one time, and says they are very lax in their hiring practices, so she may be practicing without a MO license.
But she is working in either a nursing or other patient care capacity, so whatever her actual title, she’s even more abhorrent a human being. If she does this to her grandchildren, what the hell is she doing to her patients?
11:27 pm on February 8th, 2008
Um, what’s up with Chasity’s eyebrows?
11:54 pm on February 8th, 2008
I checked MO and OK under Twocrows and Kubie. Kansas you need a license # to check so I couldn’t check there. Those three states made the most sense. She was not listed under either last name,even tried a wild card search.
1:04 am on February 9th, 2008
That is a very scary thought Impqueen….*Shivers*
1:10 am on February 9th, 2008
TJANGEL, I think that one of those prison makeovers could do wonders for this woman….What do you think?…lol
1:50 pm on February 9th, 2008
Where’s the Kudos for DFS getting one right?
2:38 pm on February 9th, 2008
Indeed! Not to mention that “well-timed hotline call.” A big ol’ ‘BRAVO’ to whoever it was that dialed that number, and to DFS for actually sending someone to investigate.
3:42 pm on February 9th, 2008
Ells – Try Nebraska, Wisconsin, and South Dakota. Two Crows is a common Winnebago (Ho-Chunk) and Sioux (Lakota) name.
3:59 pm on February 9th, 2008
I think the adults should be made to eat the rotting food that was left out for starters…
wtf is wrong with people? seriously… are these people clinically insane? a 4 year old child is defenseless! and there is NO 4 year old on the face of this earth that deserves to be abused! HOLY SHIT!
oh good christ. can we PLEASE go back to “an eye for an eye”? I mean, back when we had real laws and real punishment, nobody ever heard of this bullshit happening. who in the living hell would tie a child down to keep him from eating? ok i am seriously sitting here, in tears and pissed off. it wouldn’t do for me to get anywhere near those pieces of shit.
i’d like to “spank” them with a maglite. across the face. until i decided they got the point.
4:02 pm on February 9th, 2008
it’s about damned time DFS did something right. And I would love to send a thank you gift to whomever called them. and plaster their name all over the damned place as a hero in the matter. good lord, can you imagine the mental abuse and torture those kids will continue to endure from the post-traumatic-stress-disorder they are bound to suffer from? this kind of shit will fuck their heads up for life!
6:45 pm on February 9th, 2008
This is Newton County DFS, the same agency that was notified about Rowan Ford’s head lice. So you can imagine how they’ve felt. Even though there’s been no evidence that they mishandled Rowan’s case, I’m sure they’re looking just a little deeper into hotline calls now.

“The Newton County Sheriff’s Department says the Division of Family Services received a call to its tip line about a little boy who was standing in the street with a suitcase…the four year old boy was transported to Freeman Hospital due to malnutrition. He weighed 22 pounds 8 ounces.

AWWWWwww … he was trying to get the hell out of there! Poor little guy.

Thanks for the update, Imp.

I just want to thank whoever made the anonymous call to get my sons out of that environment.

A Newton County judge rejects the plea agreement of a grandmother who admitted to endangering her grandchildren. Now, Sharon Twocrows will go to trial.
Last month Twocrows pled guilty to multiple counts of child endangerment and abuse. But now she has withdrawn her guilty plea and her fate will be in the hands of a jury.
The trial for Sharon Twocrows is set for September.
Fatherof3.. Can you tell us how the kids are doing now? Are they with you?
8:55 am on October 8th, 2008
Article updated – Sharon Twocrows and Chasity Kubie each got the maximum seven years in prison for their roles in the abuse of this little boy. Paul Kubie opted for a jury trial and will be in court on December 18.
9:18 am on October 8th, 2008
Whomever called should get a trophy! I hope your boys are all doing well and can overcome whatever disgusting memories that they have of that shithole. Good luck to you all!!!
10:00 am on October 8th, 2008
Spanking them…spanking is not okay. Striking other human beings is not okay. Do it to an adult, you go to jail. And yet people think they own their defenseless children and hitting them is just fine. So ignorant.
Fatherof3, who is caring for these children now? Are they okay?
2:05 pm on November 3rd, 2008
Funny thing about all of this is, the Kubies never lost custody of their children. They moved to Joplin and Paul, Chasity and the girls still live together as a family. Now, however, Chasity is in jail so that leaves just the girls and Paul. What is this system comming to? They let those babies go back to those monsters. This is what needs to stop!!

**Update**
Sharon Twocrows, plead guilty to ” child abuse ” and was sentenced to seven years in prison.. ( They sent her to ” Chillicothe Correctional Center ” )
Chasity Kubie plead guilty to ” endangering the welfare of a child ” and was sentenced to Five years in prison.. ( They sent her to ” Chillicothe Correctional Center ” ) The state recomended the full 7 years but she only got 5 years.
Paul Kubie plead guilty to ” first-degree child endangerment. ” he was initially sentenced to four years in prison. But it got changed to “120 days shock incarceration and ordered to perform 120 days of community service “.
http://www.neoshodailynews.com/news/x1596619626/Kubie-gets-shock-time-for-child-endangerment
===============================
I wonder if Sharon & Chasity got to be cell mates??? or maybe thats part of there punishment to be incarcirated togeather in the same prison??
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
shock incarceration is an alternative to traditional incarceration and that successfully diverts them from prison and further criminal activity. Corrections has developed a Shock Incarceration Program where participants are involved in an intensive curriculum of discipline, work, strenuous physical activities, education and other programs. Shock Incarceration is designed to instill the offender with self-discipline, a positive attitude, good values and behavior..

I am not so sure about that mom_athena , I was checking the court records and both Paul and Sharon have judgments against them ( 9-2008) for child support, .each one is ordered to pay $327.00 a month. Looks to me like some one else has the kids now.
Paul was also ordered in a seperate case to pay over $11,000 for the damages they did to the house.
