Kokomo, IN – Well, look what we have here: Donald and Madeline Hawk, Melissa Chandler, and Jennifer Leonard. This group of unattractive asshats thought it would be fun to systematically torture two four-year-old children, a boy and a girl. The children were found and hospitalized on Monday. Â
Both children were found on Monday after Melissa Chandler called police, saying she was not being allowed to see her daughter. Her sister Jennifer Leonard is the mother of the little boy.  I believe this Myspace page probably belongs to Jennifer Leonard, although she has lost weight and lied about her age. In the photo albums are pictures of her with a small boy about the right age to be the male victim in this case.
What officers found inside the house was heartbreaking. Both preschoolers were suffering from open wounds and many other injuries. The little girl’s hands and arms were broken in several places, and both children were immediately taken to a hospital for treatment.
The children were allegedly held without food and water for long stretches of time, and both were restrained with zip ties at times. One child was locked in a closet for three weeks, and both children were kept in the closet for shorter periods.
Donald Hawk, 33, was charged only with child neglect. Madeline Hawk, 42, was charged with neglect and battery. Jennifer Leonard, 36, was charged with neglect and inducing or causing battery. Melissa Chandler, 30, was also charged with neglect and inducing or causing battery.
As information on this case is still sketchy, I’ll update as I get more information.
