Summary
Stacey Schuchart was nine months pregnant with her seventh child. None of her previous six children were legally in her custody, although at least some of them had been illegally staying with Stacey and her partner, Sean Buttery, for about a month when, on August 16, 2019, a 911 call summoned first responders to the family's home in Dayton, Kentucky, on a report of a child not breathing.
Sean Ryan Buttery Jr., known as Ryan by those who loved him, was two days shy of 18 months of age when he died from a laundry list of injuries that caused, according to the coroner, "the level of trauma that she would expect from a serious car accident," including four pelvic fractures, a detached bladder, and other indications that Stacey had stomped her toddler son to death.
This is the horrific story of Ryan Buttery.

| 0:00.0 | This formerly Patreon exclusive bonus minisode was originally released on April 4, 2022. |
| 0:07.5 | This podcast contains descriptions of violence against children and adult language and is not suitable for all audiences. |
| 0:14.5 | Listener discretion is advised. Hi everyone and welcome to suffer the little children, the true crime podcast, giving voices back to the victims of child abuse, and shining a harsh |
| 0:37.8 | spotlight on the parents, guardians, and caretakers who silenced them. I'm your host, Lane, |
| 0:43.7 | and this is Patreon exclusive bonus minisode number 12, Ryan Buttery. I've been following |
| 0:50.4 | baby Ryan's story for a couple of years now on the blog, and now that his mother |
| 0:54.3 | has been sentenced, I thought it was time to devote at least a miniso to him as well. |
| 0:59.2 | Sadly, there was not enough information to warrant a full podcast episode, and I didn't hear back |
| 1:03.7 | from any of his family members. I'll jump right into the story. |
| 1:08.5 | Stacey, Nellie, Othma, Shookhart was born on December 18, 1989, to mother |
| 1:13.5 | Terry Singleton. No father was listed on her birth certificate. Stacey's first child was born in |
| 1:20.3 | 2006 when she was 16. I was unable to find out where all six of Stacey's surviving children are |
| 1:26.6 | currently living and whether or not they're still in foster care. |
| 1:30.6 | At least some of her oldest four children were fathered by a man named Charles Messer. |
| 1:35.9 | Sean Ryan Buttery Sr. was born on June 13, 1987, to Mother Teresa L. Campbell, who has since |
| 1:42.4 | remarried a man named Lloyd Durham. |
| 1:45.5 | Sean was apparently married before his relationship with Stacy. |
| 1:49.4 | It seems he eloped with Dina Gabbard, his girlfriend since January of 2011, on March 23, 2015. |
| 1:57.3 | By the end of that year, however, he met and impregnated Stacey Shookart, who gave birth to the couple's first child in August of 2016. |
| 2:05.6 | It's unclear when his relationship with Dina ended and his romance with Stacey began. |
| 2:11.6 | Sean and Stacey ended up having three children together. |
| 2:14.6 | Now we'll jump ahead in time. |
