California DA says rescued children had been waterboarded

lifornia prosecutors say 10 children rescued from a filthy, abusive home were subjected to 'waterboarding,' shot with crossbows and had scalding water poured on them.

Solano County prosecutors included the details in a motion to increase the bail of Ina Rogers, who was charged with nine counts of felony child abuse Wednesday. She has not entered a plea.

Deputy District Attorney Veronica Juarez wrote that Rogers assisted in the abuse of the children by her husband, Jonathan Allen.

Juarez wrote that Rogers dissuaded the children from reporting their injuries, which include broken arms, in order to protect Allen.

The report also states that when police arrived at the Fairfield, California, home to search for a missing 12-year-old, they found nine children huddled together amid filth.

Which is usually the first step towards being a reprehensible human being.

... and parents who want to home-school should be closely monitored.

I teach in college, and I had several students who were home-schooled. Most were okay, if somewhat culturally limited (this could be because in our state, most home-schoolers belong to rather restrictive evangelical sects). One was not abused, at least as far as she'd say, but she did ingenuously discuss how her older brother was so badly abused by "the patriarch" (yes, she called their father that) he ran away and faked his own death in order to escape. It was years later, when he was over 18, that he let the family know that he was alive.
She lasted about 6 weeks in college. Sweet girl.

Little ones look up to their parents for protection, not abuse.
What part of this concept do these assholes not understand?
They betrayed their children. They don't deserve them.
