Truely Sickening A foster mother has appeared in court accused of subjecting four children in her care to years of shocking abuse. The appalling acts of cruelty, which span 15 years, include locking them up with hardly any food, making them eat animal food and faeces and forcing them to drink bleach. She is said to have beaten them so severely that one of them is now deformed. The foster mother is accused of using sandpaper on one girl's face and making her walk on stinging nettles. The worst abused boy is said to have had his eyes poked with a fork and been tied by his ankles to a van and driven around. The woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, pleaded not guilty to four charges of wilfully assaulting, ill-treating, neglecting, abandoning or exposing someone under 16 in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health. They span from December 1990 to February 2005. Crown Prosecutor Nadeem Aullybocus listed a gross catalogue of allegations and said the case was so serious it must be tried at crown court. The alleged abuse came to light on December 26 last year when one girl, now no longer a minor, called the police, Mr Aullybocus said. She listed a catalogue of abuse including that she had been starved, locked in a room, made to eat dog food and vomit and had to swallow washing-up liquid and bleach. She said she was made to stand against a wall with her feet at right angles, had a stick forced down her throat and sandpaper used on her face. She told police her front teeth were knocked out and a tin was smashed against her ear. She was allegedly made to walk on nettles with bare feet and given medication when she may not have needed it. Mr Aullybocus then detailed the allegations relating to another foster child. He alleged she was made to eat food meant for pigs and chickens, made to stand against the wall and suffered beatings on her feet. Her toes were allegedly broken with a metal bar. She was allegedly made to eat a bowl of porridge after a rat had defecated in it and a sandwich smeared with chicken droppings. Referring to the third child, the prosecutor claimed he had been locked in a room with little or no clothing and food and made to swallow washing-up liquid and bleach. He said he was beaten on the back with a metal bar and his hand was cut by a tuna can lid. He was forced to eat his own vomit and faeces, had his hands burnt on the cooker and had to stand on a ledge for 14 hours without moving. His eyes, he said, were poked with a heated fork and he was forced to run up and down stairs day and night. He was tied to a van by the ankles and dragged around, said Mr Aullybocus. Referring to the defendant, he concluded: "She adamantly denies she has done any of these things." At the same hearing, the defendant pleaded not guilty to stealing £300 in Barclays on January 5 this year and denied assault occasioning actual bodily harm between January 2002 and December 2004. She further denied stealing bank documents between December 2004 and January 2005. The defendant will next appear at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court on September 1 for the case to be formally committed to crown court. In the meantime she was given bail, conditional on her not contacting prosecution witnesses. No representations were made by her defence during the hearing. Why the fuck was this monster given bail
how the fuck could someone get away with doing stuff like that for so long Sounds really far fetched yet I can imagine it will be true :spangled:
As I've said in previous threads, people like that deserve one thing and one thing only - the death penalty :evil: That may sound harsh to some but thats at least 4 lives more than likely ruined, those kids are going to carry the mental & physical scars around with them for the rest of their lives... what an arsehole that person is.
