Today's Poll!Hearing set for two charged in infant's death
Bryan Sartor, 23, left, and Megan Ayers, 30, face child endangerment and drug charges following the death of her infant boy in their Holts Summit home.
Saturday, June 23, 2012
FULTON, Mo. — A Holts Summit woman and man were arraigned Friday on felony child endangerment and illegal drug use charges after the woman’s infant was found dead Wednesday, the day after both admitted using meth.
Bound over for a 9 a.m. July 13 hearing in Callaway County Associate Circuit Court were the child’s mother, Megan Ayers, 30, and her boyfriend, Bryan Sartor, 23, both of Lot 10 of 964 S. Summit Drive.
Ayers and Sartor were both represented by the Callaway County public defender’s office. They're both held in the Callaway County Jail with bond set at $25,000 apiece, but the judge in the case on Friday ordered a bond reduction study at the request of the public defender.
In a sworn statement, Lt. Bryan Reid of the Holts Summit Police Department said Sartor called the 911 Callaway County Emergency Operations Center at 11:07 a.m. Wednesday saying a 2-year-old child was blue and not breathing. Reid said Sartor told the 911 center the child was “beyond any help.”
When emergency personnel arrived, Reid said, they learned the 2-year-old girl in the house was fine, but a 9-month-old infant boy was not. When Holts Summit police arrived, Ayers and Sartor were outside. Emergency personnel attended the infant, who was declared deceased.
The cause of death of the infant and autopsy results are not expected to be known for several weeks.
Police reported Sartor is the boyfriend of Ayers, but is not the father of the deceased child.

This is the most disgusting thing I have read about around here. If I am not mistaken, this one kid had a future. I think he attended a school to be a mechanic. But like others in this god forsaken area, he chose to do drugs. Like I said before, drugs and drinking, its the mainstay of this area anymore and is just DISGUSTING. If you want to off yourself by getting high, give your children away.

It is interesting, and very much like an ostrich with its head in the sand, that you equate this "god forsaken area..." as a reason for drug usage. Yet, drugs is a constant problem EVERYWHERE, even in some of the most socially upbeat places; Seattle, Tacoma, LA, San Francisco, Phoenix, Austin, KC, StL, NY.
You appear to be one of those who consistently tear down MO, mid-MO, and Jefferson City in particular. Just WHERE are some of these mythical utopial places to which you infer all the "young people" are happy and there is no crime because of it?

A 9 month old baby died due to the actions of these people and they only have a $25,000 bail, and they are trying to reduce that amount? Bail for people like this shoule be a minimum of 1 million dollars or more.

Murders of adults are taken much more seriously by the courts than murders of children. I don't know why, but the punishment is always much much less for child murderers.
