Happy Friday Goode People !👏🏾
Travis Doss, 31, and Amanda Stamper, 33, who share a home together were arrested by police over the weekend. The couple cared for seven children between the ages of 2 and 11. The two are alleged of abuse of six children, two found locked in a dog kennel and one who doctors said was on the brink of death.
That morning, police were called to a convenience store for a woman, later identified as Stamper, who was hiding from her husband, later identified as Doss, because “he threatened to kill her”.
Stamper admitted that Doss is her pimp and he makes her prostitute for money. Officers then responded to their apartment where Amanda warned officers that “there were children locked in a dog kennel”.
Responding officers found two children padlocked in a kennel. One of the children could not walk out of the kennel as he had “two black eyes that were swollen shut, multiple marks and bruises all over his body, and he was emaciated,” police said. During a court hearing Monday, prosecutors alleged that Doss specifically targeted the 11-year-old.
The child told police he was in the kennel because he had been “stealing food at night,” court documents state. Police said the child’s injuries were so severe he likely would have died had they not taken him to the hospital.
Doss is the father of six children. Stamper has a biological child, a 2-year-old who lived in the home and was not abused. Stamper removed her child from the house when she fled to get help, prosecutors said. Stamper’s public defender said she is also five months pregnant.
Police later searched the apartment, finding two dog kennels, belts, cords, a dog bowl, and what they described as a wok. The skillet has dents in it from the children’s heads.
On Saturday, Doss reportedly told Stamper he believed the older child in the kennel was deceased because he had “kicked him in the head too hard.” Stamper reportedly told police she believed the child “looked dead for the last five days”.
Doss and Stamper each face six counts of child abuse or neglect resulting in substantial bodily harm. Doss faces additional charges of sex trafficking and attempted murder.
Doss’s bail has been set at $250,000 and Stamper’s was set at $120,000 during their initial appearances Monday.
