A Missouri mother and her boyfriend are accused of severely abusing her children, including by shooting her 13- and 14-year-old sons with BB guns while they were locked in a chicken pen. Chantel Hayford and Jerry Menees, both of Potosi, are charged with 24 felonies related to the "allegations of severe abuse and neglect," the Washington County Sheriff's Office said in a Wednesday, January 14 news release.
