Toddler’s grandma and mother charged with brutally beating the two-year-old boy after a potty-training accident.

*DISTRESSING content

Kylen Shangreaux, two, was found to have suffered horrendous injuries before he died, reports The Mirror.

A post-mortem exam showed the toddler was killed as a result of blows to the head and abdomen in South Dakota in July.

It also found evidence Kylen’s scrotum had been torn, with prosecutors claiming this was evidence of his mother Katrina Shangreaux, 28, having been enraged by a potty training incident. The child also had evidence of bruising and bite marks.

Katrina Shangreaux is charged with first-degree murder, child abuse, neglect and assault resulting in serious bodily injury of a minor.

Investigators now say her mother Sonya Dubray, 47, was also complicit in the crime.

She faces charges of tampering with evidence, accessory to first-degree murder, making a false statement and misprision of a felony.

The child was dead by the time an ambulance transported him to hospital on the day of the allege attack.

Dubray is accused of tampering with case evidence by washing the clothing worn by the deceased child, as well as by “cleaning the scene of the murder” with bleach or a similar substance.

Her charging document also says she helped Shangreaux evade the authorities; that she concealed the toddler’s abuse by not reporting it to authorities; and misled law enforcement regarding the extent of the abuse.

This comes after a story earlier this week of a man who stomped on a two-year-old girl, resulting in her death, found guilty of manslaughter.

Mussie Debresay, became angry at the toddler for urinating on his couch, his reaction resulted in catastrophic internal injuries to her tiny body.

  • They should have been charged with murder, not manslaughter. Adults should know it is wrong to attack and jump on a little toddler.

  • Omg, what is happening around the world with so called parents or guardians of babies and toddlers? This is an unthinkable act for a family member to do and to clean up afterward the deed is even more disgusting. They are just babies! Needing the help and guidance of adults. Angry and sad this has happened.

  • I find this content too distressing to read – the headline enough is disturbing. I really hope Mouths of Mums move away from articles like this one but I notice there seem to be more and more of them creeping in on this site. I don’t like them, they’re not uplifting and all it does is spread more awareness of the horrors in this world. Please post something uplifting, motivating or funny. I can’t imagine any mother (or anyone for that matter) really wants to read anything like this.

  • What the heck! This was an innocent young child who didn’t deserve to be treated this way. The poor baby knew no better and was cruelly punished resulting in his death. They both deserve to be jailed and beaten every day. I’m sorry but what that poor young boy had to go through was horrendous

  • I think both women have issues. How could the Grandma stand back do nothing or did she condone her daughter’s brutal behaviour? Doesn’t that make her an accessory to murder?
