Father who humiliated step-daughter by forcing her to walk in front of friends with shaved head and wearing only tank top and diaper jailed for 120 days

A man who humiliated his step daughter by shaving her head and forcing her to parade in front of friends in a diaper has been jailed for 120 days.

Darnell Landrum came up with the punishment because the 12 year old girl had received poor grades at school.

The youngster was forced to walk up and down her street in Anoka, Minnesota, with a diaper on her shaved head.

Darnell Alan Landrum, 34, left, forced Broten's daughter to run outside wearing only a diaper and tank top after they shaved her head; he was sentenced to 120 days; Stephanie Ann Broten, 38, was sentenced in Anoka County District Court on charges of malicious punishment. The incident occurred on May 7



When police arrived they found the girl crying hysterically begging to be let inside the home.

The girl's mother, Stephanie Ann Broten, was arrested along with her boyfriend after the incident in May.

Witnesses said she refused to let her daughter back in the house despite her pleas.

Landrum and Broten told police they were punishing the girl for bringing home bad grades.



The mother was jailed for 90 days last month.

Landrum was taken from a court in Anoka to begin his sentence after he pleaded guilty to one count of malicious punishment.



As well as the 120-day jail sentence, the judge imposed another 245 days behind bars that will remain stayed if Landrum completes his probation successfully.



He must also perform 30 hours of community service, pay a $300 fine and complete two years probation.
