My gosh, when I read this story I could not stop crying. This foster "mother" tortured her foster kids for a period of 19 years! It is one of the worst cases of child abuse I ever read. I will highlight some of the things this woman did, if you click the link provided be aware there are graphic pictures (if you are too sensitive, please do not click).
1. Forced sticks down the kid's throats and made them eat their own vomit and rat excrement.
2. She would beat them on the soles of their feet and force them to drink washing up liquid and bleach.
3. She rubbed their hands raw with sandpaper.
4. Held their hands down on a hot electric hob until it was left looking like a "gooey mess".
5. They were made to eat lard and drink washing up liquid poured down their throats.
6. If they were sick (she) would make them eat their own vomit.
7. They were punched kicked and strangled and if they cried the sticks would be forced down their throats.
8. Full cans of food would be thrown directly in their faces and they would have their heads forcibly held under the water while in the bath.
9. She would pull their hair and shove their faces in pet dog's faeces as punishment.

There is the account of one of her victims, it pierced my soul:
QUOTE |
I steal a glance at the face of the female detective who is sitting next to me in the back of the police car. She looks very determined, while I feel extremely wobbly. "You look nice, Alloma. Very smart." DC Martell is smiling encouragingly, as the car nudges through the heavy morning traffic towards Bristol Crown Court, where I will shortly be giving evidence in a child abuse case against my foster mother of ten years, Eunice Spry. The detective is a reassuring presence. But in my mind I am still remembering Eunice's scrawny hands around my throat, trying to stop me from speaking out, squeezing the very breath from my body. Then I remember that the owner of those terrifying hands is now safely in police custody, and I finally find my voice. "Thanks," I say to the detective. "But are you really sure there'll be a screen?" DC Martell's face softens. "I'm sure, Alloma. She'll be brought into court after you've arrived, so you really won't see her face. I promise." I nod slowly, trying to take this in. God I hope you're right, I think, because if she can see me, she can get me. The minute I'm skewered by her gaze, by those hard, grey eyes that bore into my very soul, then I'll be lost. |

She homeschool the kids, did not have them check by doctors or dentists until later. It was another Jehovah Witness (like her) who noticed some of the abuse and contacted the authorities.

A very sad case. Now we all know that evil has another face. After the article, there are a few comments from individuals all over the world. One woman indicated that Eunice Spry should be given the same punishment that she used on all her foster kids. I wholeheartedly agree with this. But in addition to this punishment, they should send her to the electric chair or execute her by hanging.
Those poor kids will be scarred for life! They would never be able to trust anyone in their lives ever again! I am surprised that they all managed to survive after all the cruel acts (like forcing them to drink bleach). I hated the fact that one child was involved in an accident and she deliberately prevented her from walking so she could receive more social assistance payments. How cold and deceitful! It is such a traumatic experience for a child to be involved in an accident but to deliberately prevent her from healing and trying to resume a normal life is unforgivable.

That is heart wrenching LDS!
I noticed one of the comments (on the link to the article) mentioned that the authorities in charge of handling the case should lose their job. As JB mentioned, I wonder how it could of happened that long! It seems if it was dealt out as a daily regime, someone, sometime would of had to see the children....it sounds as if they went to church because the other Jehovah Witness questioned the victim in the wheelchair. I cannot imagine how much fear they would have to have lived in. TO NOT WALK for over 4 years, just out of fear--that is so hard to fathom what they must of been dealing with! My heart goes out to them and as Geenie mentioned, it seems hard to believe they could ever trust anyone again. I pray the Lord will comfort them and help them find people that will love and care for them.

What really pierced my soul is when one of the victims (while she was in the process of testifying) was so scared to see this woman face to face and said:

These Jehovah Witnesses seem to have a case of Pedophile / Abuse behavior. That sounds like I am stereotyping, but I am talking about a Thread in the Religions Board that has a whole book full of it! These children, can they believe in God? They must see God as some kind of monster in the form of this woman - a demon in human form. No, I am not talking religion here, I am talking about a trend, a civil trend towards violence towards the weak and suffering. Letting babies die when all they have to do is give a transfusion or allowing someone to suffer abuse to just say they are married is all Heinous in my mind.

Comments: This is sick if she was being put through the same torture the children had to face she would not be happy. My opinion she needs a bullet put through her head to be honest shes sick and I [see] she would do that to them kids I have read the book and I want her to be put in the same pain as them.
