A despicable Missouri couple allegedly locked terrified teens in a chicken pen, forced them to fight each other and shot at them with BB guns. And after years of sickening abuse, their mother allegedly traded custody of the malnourished victims for a cell phone. The teenagers' mother, Hayford, faces accusations of 'inappropriate sexual contact' with one of the children. Hayford and Menees allegedly gave her kids drugs and alcohol and refused to feed or house them, according to charging documents reviewed by WTOK. The suspected child abusers were arrested on January 13 after authorities executed a search warrant at their Potosi home, where the abuse allegedly transpired.
