Parents Charged after Shaving 12-Year-Old Daughter’s Head, Making Her Run Down the Street in Diaper

A Minnesota couple is facing charges after allegedly shaving their 12-year-old daughter’s head and forcing her to run up and down the street in a diaper.

Stephanie Ann Broten, 38, and her husband, 34-year-old Darnell Alan Landrum, were each charged in Anoka County Wednesday with one count of malicious punishment.

Landrum is the girl’s step-father.

Police arrived Monday evening to find a crowd of 30-50 people watching the girl as she ran in nothing but a diaper and a tank top.

Officers believe the girl had been outside for about a half-hour before a neighbor alerted police.

Police say the girl was “crying and hysterical.”
