<p class="has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Cherie&#8217;s husband and stepfather to the girl, Dustin Walker, [photo], 34, is charged with felony child neglect and sexual abuse of a minor after DNA confirmed paternity. The girl and her five siblings have been removed from the home </strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Investigators also claimed in the charging documents that the homeschooled pre-teen who received no prenatal care, had not been to the doctor in over a year. <br>The pregnancy and childbirth only came to light after the new mother sought medical attention post delivery. She was taken to hospital on August 17, a day after giving birth at home, prompting police to be contacted immediately.<br>The 11-year-old described the child as &#8220;rather petite,&#8221; gave birth to a normal-sized infant.<br>&#8216;I was horror-stricken to find out it&#8217;s an 11-year-old girl who&#8217;s given birth, and that she had no medical care and she had no one to be with her,&#8217; Assistant District Attorney Janet Hutson <a href="https://www.kjrh.com/news/local-news/family-of-11-year-old-who-gave-birth-speaks-out">said</a>, as she emphasized that the young girl is &#8216;traumatized&#8217;, for a life time.<br>&#8216;She&#8217;s been through a horrific ordeal. I mean, not only has somebody gotten her pregnant, but she gave birth at home without medical assistance and this will be with her&#8230; for the rest of her life.&#8217;<br>The ADA at the time indicated that DNA testing had been scheduled to determine the baby&#8217;s paternity.<br>While urging anyone who suspects child abuse or neglect to report such cases she noted that doctors and schools typically notice such cases and report them. However, in this case, the girl was not in school and may have been homeschooled, which limited opportunities for intervention: &#8220;The child had been out of school for a period of time, and it is my understanding that children may have been homeschooled,” Hutson said.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hutson also indicated that were plans to file additional charges against Cherie and Dustin Walker, both held on a $100,000 bond ahead of their scheduled September 3 court appearance.<br>In the meantime, the 11-year-old girl and her five siblings have been removed from the home.<br>Next door neighbor Cheryl Adkins reveals that the children were exposed to unstable and unsanitary conditions in the home. She is convinced that Cherie and Dustin knew about their daughter&#8217;s pregnancy, despite their insistence that they were completely unaware..<br>&#8216;They have no running water for the last two or three years,&#8217; Adkins said, and she had made several calls in to police and authorities requesting welfare checks on the children. She fears that help may have arrived too late.<br>&#8216;This is getting to me,&#8217; Adkins said. &#8216;They robbed her of her childhood.&#8217; <br>Meanwhile the children&#8217;s grandmother attempted to deflect blame from the family. Identified only as Michelle, she maintains that the community has not heard the whole story.<br>&#8216;I just want people to know, we did not know this was happening. None of us,&#8217; she said, adding that she is upset that her daughter and son-in-law are being portrayed as &#8216;monsters.&#8217;<a href="https://www.kjrh.com/news/local-news/family-of-11-year-old-who-gave-birth-speaks-out" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a></p>
