St. Charles Couple With History of Child Endangerment Charged Again

A St. Charles couple with prior child endangerment charges have been charged again after their five-year-old autistic son was found walking around the neighborhood clothed in just a towel—in the pouring rain on a chilly March day.

St. St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported last week that John Jeffery Sahs, 55, and Kimbrela Vivian Sahs, 48, of the 2200 block of Campus Drive, have been charged with endangering the welfare of a child in the March 9 incident.

Kimbrela Sahs told police that the boy's father, John Sahs, was supposed to be watching the boy.

Both adults were on probation on child endangerment charges, and John Sahs had outstanding warrants for child endangerment.
