Alexzandrea Thomas and Her Three Children: Survivors of Unspeakable Abuse and Betrayal

MacArthur, – In a deeply disturbing and tragic case that has rocked the local community, 43-year-old Kenneth Cook of MacArthur, West Virginia, has been arrested and charged with multiple serious offenses, including incest, sexual abuse, and child neglect, following revelations that he fathered three children with his biological daughter, 21-year-old Alexzandrea Thomas.

The Investigation Unfolds
The charges against Cook are the result of an extensive investigation that began in March 2024 after concerns were raised by Child Protective Services (CPS). The CPS referral came after the youngest of Alexzandrea’s children, a 1-year-old, was found to be in a severe state of neglect, weighing only six pounds. Authorities discovered that, between 2019 and March 2024, Kenneth Cook allegedly engaged in a non-consensual relationship with his daughter, Alexzandrea, which resulted in the births of three children — now aged 5, 3, and 1.

A Pattern of Abuse and Manipulation
According to the criminal complaint, Alexzandrea was just 15 years old when the abuse reportedly began, with the first child conceived when she was underage. Cook, who was 38 years old at the time, is now facing multiple charges, including three counts of incest, sexual abuse by a parent or custodian, third-degree sexual assault, and child neglect. These charges reflect the gravity of the abuse and the severe emotional and physical toll on Alexzandrea and her children.

The Devastating Consequences of Abuse
The news of Cook’s arrest has devastated Alexzandrea’s family and the community at large. For Alexzandrea, the pain and betrayal she has endured cannot be overstated. As a mother of three young children, she now faces the monumental task of rebuilding her life, healing from the trauma, and providing a safe and loving environment for her children as they try to recover from the abuse they have suffered.

The Importance of Support and Resources
As Alexzandrea and her children navigate this difficult time, it is essential that they receive the support and resources they need to heal and rebuild their lives.
