Girl Allegedly Locked Up for Months, Barely Fed
PHOENIX — The parents of a 14-year-old Arizona girl who was victim to shocking abuse have been arrested, KSAZ-TV reported late Tuesday.
A young girl who escaped from her appalling living conditions says her father and stepmother kept her locked in a room with no running water for about two months.
It was apparently part of a punishment for stealing food.
While she was in "lock-up," the girl says her father gave her a few cans of food, crackers and bread every one or two days — but it wasn’t ever enough to satisfy her hunger.
The girl told police that while she was in lock up, she was forced to exercise until exhaustion, beaten with belts and metal rods, and pulled up by her hair if she stopped exercising.
The horror came to an end on January 24, when she escaped by crawling up a linen closet, climbing into an attic crawl space, kicking out a loose board and fleeing out the back door.
Someone called police for her and police were dispatched to the victim’s residence to speak with her father, Scott Bass, and stepmother Andrea Bass.
Wow these are some evil parents…I can’t even imagine the horror for this child…
