A couple has been arrested in Pennsylvania for repeatedly physically and emotionally abusing one of their daughters. According to the investigation, the minor – who is now 6 years old – would have lived through true hell. His parents They locked her in a cage for dogs, they beat her and forced her to eat dog food. When she was rescued, she was malnourished and her body was full of sores, burns and bruises.
The alarm was raised by the health workers who treated the little girl on January 7. Her father – Jacob William Weight, 37 years old – called the emergency number to request medical assistance because the girl had fainted and began to convulse. But the scene they encountered when they arrived at 1313 Sheridan Avenue in Brownsville was beyond anything they could imagine.
The man did not let them enter the home. He carried the girl in his arms to the street: naked, with hypothermia and obvious signs of violence. The minor was rushed to Uniontown Hospital where they found that she had all the rotten teeth and cracked, and which presented a sepsis (generalized infection). A condition they reported to the police, who immediately showed up at the house.
The disheveled exterior gave some clues. But upon entering they found a “crazy house.” There was urine, feces and garbage everywhere. The couple lived with 6 minors (five children and a nephew), 10 pit bulls and a cat in hygienic-sanitary conditions that the agents described as “deplorable.” AND, In the middle of the room, there was the cage in which the 6-year-old girl was locked up and tortured.
Apparently, the rest of the minors – aged between 5 and 17 – showed no signs of having received ill-treatment. In fact, it seems that “some of these children may have participated in the abuse” to the hospitalized little girl. This was stated by Fayette County District Attorney Mike Aubele. “It seems like they were raised with the idea that this girl deserved it.”he added, “it’s horrible.”

They all witnessed how Jacob and his wife – Mimi Ann Frost, 33 years old – kept the girl locked up in their small prison for days: without clothes, without food and without even going out to go to the bathroom. They told her that she had to eat her own excrement and beat her from outside with a broom She herself has recounted episodes of extreme violence to the police. Her father would have shot her on the legs with a compressed air gun.
The report states that the minor “could have died as a result of this atrocious abuse and neglect” by their parents. To make matters worse, the little girl was not in school and had never been examined or seen by a pediatrician. Weight and Frost face different charges, such as assault on a minor, corruption of minors, involuntary servitude, strangulation or illegal retention, among others.
