PROUD PARENTS: IN THE NEWS
The mug shots above belong to Bryan and Martina Shivers, the Evansville couple that figured taping their children to chairs for 10 hours straight was a proper form of discipline. If only it ended there – this Proud Couple also admitted to taping them to chairs for 5 hours the previous day before they were busted, as well as regularly beating the children hard enough to leave marks. Reading the article, it seems almost as though they’re bragging about their actions. Keep going for the infuriating news story..

EVANSVILLE – Two Evansville parents are in jail this weekend for allegedly beating and taping two young children to chairs.
It’s a case that has even veteran officers astonished. Lt. Monty Guenin from the Evansville Police Department says, “You wonder how anyone could do such a thing to children.”
Brian and Martina Shiver are in the Vanderburgh County Jail facing several charges including criminal confinement and child neglect.
According to an Evansville Police Department spokesman, an officer overheard Brian Shiver yelling at a child around 6:30 p.m. Friday from the hallway outside the Shiver’s Woodland Park apartment. The officer claimed he heard Brian threaten to hit a child and ask his wife, “did you take the tape off their mouths when you fed them.”
The officer then called for another officer and the two knocked on the door. After explaining they were there to check on the welfare of the children, officers said Brian let them in the apartment. Inside, officers allegedly found two children, ages 2 and 4, taped to chairs from their shoulders to their waists. They said in the affidavit it was difficult to cut the children free because the tape was tightly pressed on them.
“The children had been bound for at least 9 hours that day,” Guenin tells News 25.
After officers made entry in to the apartment, they realized something else was wrong. Guenin says, “These children went to the bathroom in the diapers and they had not been changed.”
During questioning, Brian admitted to taping the children to the chairs around 10:00 a.m. He said they were taped there for about 10 hours straight with no movement. He also admitted to taping the children up for five hours the previous night.
While questioning the parents, officers got even more information that concerned them.
“Mr. Shiver admitted to spanking these children and leaving marks on these children on almost a daily basis,” explains Guenin.
The children were taken by Child Protective Services, and EPD said they were placed in foster care.
The parents face two felony counts each of criminal confinement, neglect of a dependent, battery and criminal recklessness.
Guenin says, “The most difficult thing is, if you have kids yourself and see this situation and how these children have been treated and it just really tears at you.”

I have no idea how or why a parent could EVER hurt their own child, let a lone someone elses! They are children who you are leaving a footprint of life on. They do not forget and you, the bad parent, are responsible for them and responsible in making sure they become good adults. children that are battered almost always grow up to batter, rape, murder, etc. If an adult hurts a child, they need to be locked up, NEVER ALLOWED TO HAVE CHILDREN IN THEIR CARE AGAIN and she get the same treatment they gave to the child. As you can tell, NOTHING MAKES ME MADDER THAN HEARING OR SEEING A CHILD BEING ABUSED! Whats so sad is the child that is physically abuse you can tell right away bit the child that is mentally abuse, it can take sometime to see it…Please pay attention to any and all children, you just might save their life OR give them a better life..
All I can say is im sick to my stomach over these kind of parents…there are plenty of people that would love to have children and cant..now you have people like this that have children and abuse them..why???? For their satisfaction..its ridiculous and they should be locked up forever and she needs her girl parts removed and i would love to beat the crap out of both of them and tape them to a chair and let them shit themselves…some people shouldnt be able to breed….
Sterilize them.
Put diapers on them tape them to a couple of electric chairs and give jolts that are strong e ought to make them dirty themselves but not kill them every few minutes. And just for fun walk by and beat the **** out pf them just because we can. Let them see how it feels, killing them is to good for them. They should be made to suffer like those precious babies did.
I want to know what is wrong with people in society today. Everyday it seems that we are hearing more and more about this sort of thing happening. There is nothing that seems to be able to be done to prevent this. How parents are still able to do things like this in todays society is beyond me. I am so saddened by this. My thoughts are with those little kids. Those kids are so damaged at this point that there might not be any coming back. They have endured hell. Poor babies!
cut out their reproductive organs and lock them away … these people are nothing but pure trash
I am a 36 year old woman who will never, ever be able to give birth and I have one thing to say. Fuck these people. Fuck everything about this couple. Take them out back, do to them what they did to their children, take away their reproductive organs and send them to jail. There needs to be a licensing or IQ test before becoming a parent.
This makes me sick to my stomach. These poor babies had to live with these monsters for too long before the police accidentally discovered their situation.
I can’t even fathom how this type of crap happens. Who could have a child and do such mean, horrible things to them?
The story makes it sound as if the father was almost bragging about it or at least very unfazed by the severity of what he’d done.
They should never be able to lay eyes on their children again and neither should be allowed to have more children or even be in the vicinity of a child.
i actually have met these people. they come into where i work. they are HORRIBLE! we have called child protective services due to suspicious bruises, but were told that because we hadn’t witnessed abuse occurring, they would label the case a level 2 and get to it as soon as possible. as deplorable as it all is, i am SO HAPPY that the officers were there to bump this case up to a level 1…
…and there are folks still against capital punishment? These two need to be taken out of circulation, permanently.
I just don’t agree with the majorities opinion of an eye for an eye. That’s going back to saying if someone hits you with a rock, throw a rock back. I have two boys, 19 and 14 months. If anyone touched either, I wouldn’t talk about it. It would be game over. But, I won’t advocate spite punishment, either. We’re better than that.
[...] BABY TOSS I’m pretty sure this is how the much more extreme version of “127 Hours” happened, perhaps you should have just left the little guy at home, like these Proud Parents. [...]
they beat them until they left marks??? Hell I got a whooping from my dad that I’ll never forget. I had blood running down my legs because he beat me with a fucking tree limb! I’ve been hit in the face with a phone so hard it broke my molar. I was never took to any doctor unless I was very very sick… where were child services then??
I submitted this store as, sadly I know these 2 very well. I’m related to 1 and went to school with the other. I’m glad to see how many of you are just as sick as I was when I was given this link.
They are sick parents. but I can’t help but remember that time my Brother bet that he could get out of a full body ducttaping without any help, so my grandpa ducttaped his entire body and a strip over his mouth and watched my houdini brother get out. in two hours…
