Pennsylvania couple charged after allegedly locking their 6-year-old daughter in a dog crate and shooting her with a bb gun.
37-year-old, Jacob Weight and 33-year-old Mimi Frost, are facing a litany of charges after authorities were called to their home for an unresponsive child.
When officers arrived at the Brownsville,Pennsylvania residence they were met with a home filled with trash and covered in pet wastes. In addition to the unresponsive 6-year-old girl, there were 5 other children and 10 dogs.
The unresponsive child was whisked away to a nearby children's hospital with a long list of medical and dental conditions; including open sores and extreme malnourishment.
While she was being treated, the other children in the home were being questioned. The horrifying information they shared is heartbreaking.
According to the other children the 6-year-old was regularly restrained with zip ties and locked in a dog cage. Once confined she was forced to eat dog food and had been beaten with a broom on multiple occasions.
The victim also spoke on her own behalf saying she would be locked in and punished if she broke out for food. She alleged Weight would repeatedly shoot her in the legs with a bb gun.
Another truly sad aspect of the whole ordeal is all 10 dogs and 5 other children seemed well fed and taken care of adequately. According to the attending physicians, the child hadn't received any pediatric care in years.
Both Weight and Frost are facing charges of assault to a minor, corruption of minors, involuntary servitude, strangulation, false imprisonment and child endangerment.
Both are claiming innocence and are being held in the Fayette County jail with no bond.
I hope this poor little girl gets the Justice she deserves.
