Mother of the year Stephanie Ann Broten, 38, and her husband, 34-year-old Darnell Alan Landrum, of Fridley, Minnesota were arrested on Monday after they shaved the woman's 12-year-old daughter's head and forced her to run up and down the street in a diaper.
According to a criminal complaint, Fridley Police were called at about 7:16 p.m. Monday to a townhome on 68th Avenue on a report of a juvenile female with her head shaved being forced to run outside while wearing a diaper. The 12-year-old girl was observed standing outside for more than 30 minutes wearing a diaper and tank top. The girl’s mother, identified as Broten, told police she was being disciplined for getting an “F” on her report card and that Broten and her husband, Landrum, had shaved her head. When authorities arrived, the girl was crying hysterically as she was among 30 to 50 teenage and young adult men who had gathered to watch her outside, the complaint states. Her mother, Broten, told police she was disciplining her child by embarrassing her. Landrum said he had warned the girl that is she didn’t start listening in school and getting better grades, she would be forced to wear a diaper and have her head shaved. When the girl didn’t bring her homework home with her, Landrum told her he would be shaving her head and putting her on “diaper duty,” according to the complaint. If Broten and Landrum are convicted of the charges, they each face up to a year in jail and a $3,000 fine.

Shame on those 30-50 watching this spectacle without intervening of calling police. And this lady gets an "F" for her parenting skills. We're calling DYFS!

So cruel. This little girl will never forget this. Her so called mom and the boyfriend deserve more than what they are going to get. As a mom my job is to protect my daughter. The system better help this girl or we all have failed her. God be with her.
