The Case of Dante Tyler and the Handcuffed Ankles

Dallas, Texas Honestly, how many times have we jokingly threatened our children with “I’m going to hang you by your feet”? Better yet, how many times have our children bounced off the walls and we secretly entertained the same idea? Or plotted it out, complete with the story we’d tell Child and Family Services once someone ratted us out? For me, maybe only a couple of times regarding my children, several times over concerning my husband. But that’s a whole other story right there! To actually act on that impulse takes either great nerve, great stupidity, a chemical imbalance, or a nasty mix of the three.

Dante Tyler

Dante Tyler

Tie that concoction in with a domestic dispute situation involving a woman with small children and you end up with a story like Dante Tyler’s. Who knew “reaching out and touching someone” could be the trigger.

I know a lot of women check their husband/boyfriend’s cell phone to check up on him and vice-versa. Me? Hell, if he’s yacking in someone else’s ear that basically means I have to spend less of my time tuning him out. But some people get ape-shit crazy when they see an “unrecognized” number in that log. This may very well have been the case with this loving couple. Something happened Wednesday night regarding the “phone” because a big ole’ fight broke out between Dante and Shequintearria Tinnon.

Dante (23) is accused of choking Shequintearria, 21 (I shall refer to her as SheShe for obvious reasons) and if that wasn’t enough (and it rarely is), two counts of child endangerment. Poor Sheshe, being distraught and shit, ran out of the house and to a neighbors thus leaving behind her two children, ages 1 and 3. After mommy took a much needed hiatus she made the decision to return to the house.  Guess what she found? I’ll give you a hint…it has to do with her children…

Sheshe returned to the house and heard screams coming from a closet. Children’s screams. I’m pretty fucking sure they weren’t screams of joy either, because what she found was her precious babies hanging upside down from an iron pole…by a chain hooked onto handcuffs around their ankles. Who the fuck actually goes through with something like that? And to use handcuffs around the ankles to suspend them? Damn, my ankles are getting sharp pains just thinking about that shit.

I’ve read two different sources for this story. In the first, the authorities had suspected this was the case but were unable to confirm the account. The second source states it happened. Sheshe was able to free her tiny pinatas and fortunately, she returned in plenty of time to prevent any other unfortunate scenario. And yes, she called the cops.

It was reported Dante had a gun and had barricaded himself for about three hours in that house and it proved to be quite a spectacle. The police deployed an entire tactical team. He had no gun and now he’s getting some socialization in jail. Hopefully Bubba and Bo will play the same games with Dante, but hang him from the head instead of the feet.

As for the children, they’re just fine and the police returned them to their mother.  What a vicious fuck Dante is. And if Sheshe takes him back after this, she deserves a lump on her skull as long as her fucking name.

    And to use handcuffs around the ankles to suspend them?

    Maybe they were out of duct tape?

    Mmmmm, so this was Tylers take on Alighieri’s purgatory?
    In his mug, he looks rather proud of his *ahem* accomplishment…

    Shequintearria (SheShe) walk, no, run, away from Dante, the penis, do NOT look back!!

    I knew Dante and his brother Mike Mike. Pretty much since Dante was a little boy and Mike was a baby. I knew he was off a little as a kid, but never knew he would come out like this. I know this is just as shocking to his family as well as all our neighbors. Ladies, stop leaving your kids with this men. You don’t really know who you’re dating.

    Last time I tried that with my kids, I found myself handcuffed to the family dog… Obviously I need to take a lesson from Dante.

    Hello all, I’ve been viewing this site for about a year now, as sad and as twisted as most of these stories are I always look forward to the write ups each week…

    Sheshe was able to free her tiny pinatas

    You guys kill me!

    Prolly choked her cause he was sick of her correcting him on how to say her name correctly…

    It makes my eyes bleed to look at it, and my tongue hurt trying to pronounce it (unsuccessfully thus far)…. Regardless, I hope SheShe runs, not walks, away from this sadistic skeeve!
