Brady Burr, 26, and Abby Bradstreet, 36, are facing charges of child abuse and child endangerment, as indicated by court documents. A probable cause affidavit reveals that on December 7, Burr had dropped off the girl and her brother at their mother’s residence in Salina after spending the day at his home in McPherson.

During the handover, Burr informed the children’s mother that the girl had wet her pants twice and might have developed a rash. However, upon inspection, the mother discovered bruises on her daughter’s backside and noticed that her feet were extremely cold and discolored, described in the affidavit as “red, almost purple.” When questioned about her day, the child revealed she hadn’t participated in decorating the Christmas tree because she “didn’t deserve” to. Further probing by her mother led to the revelation that the girl had been isolated on the porch as punishment for being “bad” while the rest of the family continued with the holiday activity inside.

The affidavit also notes that the child mentioned being spanked with a spoon as further punishment for her accidents.

Per the affidavit, the girl also stated she was spanked with a spoon for peeing on herself.

Cops brought the kids in for interviews. The girl said Bradstreet made her stand outside on the porch wearing only her underwear. Her brother also said Burr and Bradstreet made the girl eat dinner in the bathtub. He estimated his sister was outside for 50 minutes while the victim said it was for five minutes. The suspects allegedly told the girl to stand and not move while she was on the porch.

Investigators say the temperatures were between 28 and 30 degrees that day.

Burr and Bradstreet were arrested on Dec. 11 and have since posted bond. Their next court dates are set for Tuesday.
