From the article

"The girl originally told authorities that she was homeless and that her boyfriend had beaten her, but authorities say the story did not ring true."

Kids really try not to get their parents in trouble - no matter what

You're right about that Casshew. That's one reason some parents are able to continue the abuse for so long.
 
Often times the parents have told the kids horrific tales of what would happen to them if the tell. Stories about being put in foster care, juvenile detention etc. Like most people- kids are scared of the unknown. And the parents play on that fear.
 
Her father came at her with a sledgehammer?!!!

How sick!!

Washington County sheriff's detectives are looking for a couple who allegedly beat the man's 15-year-old daughter with a sledgehammer, belts and ax handle while keeping her locked in a storage trailer.

Sgt. John Black, sheriff's spokesman, said Michael Anthony Maez, 37, and Terry Lynn Maez, 34, may be traveling with an 8-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter.

Sept 2006:

An Aloha man and woman sought for nearly a year on accusations that they locked their 15-year-old daughter in a storage trailer and beat her are awaiting extradition to Oregon after their arrests last week in Arkansas.

Sgt. David Thompson of the Washington County Sheriff's Office said Monday that Michael Anthony Maez and Terry Lynn Maez were found in Waldron, Ark. Their two younger children, ages 9 and 14, were placed in protective custody, Thompson said...

Michael Maez, 38, was arrested Wednesday on an unrelated theft charge using the name Michael Baumgartner.

KHBS-TV in Fort Smith, Ark., reported that Terry Maez, 35, was caught when Scott County deputies stopped a suspected drunken driver Friday. Cox said Terry Maez was a passenger in the car and was carrying false identification.

"These people were good at flying under the radar," Thompson said. "They were living in trailers, camping in the woods."

Feb 2007:

The stepmother of a girl who was locked in a storage shed for three days with a pillow, a jacket and a bucket was convicted of assault, kidnapping and criminal mistreatment.

Terry Lynn Maez, 36, testified that she allowed her husband to beat the 15-year-old because she was a battered woman herself...

With her mother yelling, “Hit her, hit her,” the girl said, her father punched her in the face, whipped her with a belt and smacked her forehead with an ax handle. At one point, the girl said, she was held on the floor and threatened with an electric drill.

Then her mother told her “to get into the shed,” the girl said, and her father locked her in by drilling screws into the door.

Thanks for bringing this case up to date, Rayemonde. I appreciate your posts telling "the rest of the story."

I hope these two have used their time in prison to do the work needed to change their ways. Their poor kids!!
