Overview

• Michelle Justus, the child’s maternal grandmother, faces six felony counts of child neglect and is held on a $75,000 bond, according to the Muskogee County District Attorney’s Office.
• Court filings describe Justus as a regular caretaker who lived across the street and allege inadequate supervision, lack of medical care, and deplorable living conditions for six children.
• The girl’s stepfather, Dustin Walker, is charged with sexual abuse of a child under 12 after DNA testing reportedly showed a 99.9% match to the newborn; the mother, Cherie Walker, is charged with enabling child sexual abuse.
• Both parents also face six felony child-neglect counts, and authorities removed five other children from the home after reporting dog feces throughout the residence and children without clothing.
• Authorities say the 11-year-old delivered at home on Aug. 16, was later hospitalized for hemorrhaging, and EMS personnel cut the newborn’s umbilical cord; all charges remain allegations pending court proceedings, and reports differ on the parents’ bond status.
