The abuse came to light after Child Protective Services (CPS) and the Angelina County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation in April 2023. Authorities say the children were restrained with rope, their mouths were covered with tape, and their eyes were covered with a rag before receiving tattoos.
It was also reported that the couple’s friends were reportedly in the home during the disturbing incident. The couple was also accused of trying to remove the tattoos with lemon juice after the children’s biological father saw them and questioned Megan about the tattoos.
