Target: Eric Phelps, Cooper County, MO Prosecuting Attorney
Goal: Ensure strict legal action against those allegedly abusing a 73-year-old woman and neglecting animals and children.
The disturbing allegations surrounding the treatment of a 73-year-old woman by Jordan Hulbert and Celia Marriott raise grave concerns about human and animal welfare. Reportedly, when deputies responded to the woman’s home, they found her in a deplorable condition, having been left lying in her own urine and feces for days. The alleged neglect did not stop with the elderly woman; inside the home, conditions apparently included rampant filth, with surfaces covered in garbage and an infestation of flies. The situation extends further, with three young children reportedly being subjected to sleeping in travel cribs that were swarming with flies, highlighting the outrageous disregard for their safety and health. During the deputies’ visit, they also say they discovered several emaciated dogs and pigs kept in a pen without food or water, indicating gross neglect concerning the animals’ basic needs.
Hulbert and Marriott’s actions have led to serious charges of endangering the welfare of their children, abusing an elderly person, and neglecting animals. These heart-wrenching scenes depict an apparent failure to protect vulnerable beings and raise serious questions about the safety and well-being of those under their care.
Immediate and decisive action is essential to restore safety and justice. The charges of First Degree Endangering The Welfare Of A Child Creating Substantial Risk, Abuse of Elderly Person, and Animal Neglect must be rigorously pursued. Society must send a clear message that such appalling neglect and abuse will not be tolerated. Therefore, it is crucial to demand appropriate legal consequences for Hulbert and Marriott to prevent further harm.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Mr. Phelps,
The community is outraged at the allegations surrounding the treatment of a 73-year-old woman, three young children, and several animals by Jordon Hulbert and Celia Marriott. Reports indicate that the woman was left in a shocking state of neglect, lying in her own excrement for days while her supposed caregivers disregarded her basic needs. Furthermore, deputies say they also discovered children under the age of three and pets forced to sleep in filthy conditions, which were infested with flies. Such treatment is not only deeply troubling but also raises severe concerns for the welfare of vulnerable individuals and animals.
In addition to the emotional toll on the elderly woman and children, there were also significant alleged findings concerning the animals, including several dogs and pigs being kept in dire conditions, without access to food or water. The evidence apparently demonstrates a clear pattern of neglect and abuse that affects both human and animal lives. It is imperative that the legal system takes these allegations seriously and responds appropriately to prevent further suffering.
We urge you to ensure that the charges of First Degree Endangering The Welfare Of A Child Creating Substantial Risk, Abuse of Elderly Person, and Animal Neglect are pursued vigorously. Justice must be served to protect those who cannot advocate for themselves and to promote the principle that such acts of alleged neglect will face stringent legal consequences.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
