Mother Sentenced for Torturing Her Son
From Times Wire Reports
A woman was sentenced in Colorado Springs to 64 years in prison for inflicting months of torture on her 6-year-old son that included burns, whippings and starvation.
Judge Thomas Kennedy listened to details of the abuse Friday and looked at pictures of the boy, then, blinking back tears, told the woman: “I have no clue what demons possessed you to do this to a child that you bore.”
The 30-year-old woman, who pleaded guilty to child abuse, faced 10 to 224 years.
