A woman in Waterbury has been arrested for allegedly holding her stepson captive for over 20 years, subjecting him to severe starvation and inhumane living conditions. The victim, who weighed only 68 pounds at the time of his escape, reportedly resorted to eating from trash and drinking from the toilet to survive. He managed to flee by igniting a fire in the home, a desperate bid for freedom that led to the discovery of his horrific situation. Local police described the case as one of the worst examples of human cruelty they have ever witnessed. The woman, Kimberly Sullivan, faces multiple charges, including child neglect and unlawful imprisonment, while investigators continue to uncover the details of this alarming case.
