A teenage boy testified in Canadian court that his lesbian adoptive parents spent five years torturing him and his brother by forcing them to wear hockey helmets and wet suits for hours on end.
The 13-year-old, identified only as J.L., is the prosecution's star witness in the ongoing murder trial of Becky Hamber and Brandy Cooney, who are accused of killing J.L.'s older brother in 2022 by systematically starving him and leaving him soaking wet in their Toronto-area basement.
The older brother, referred to as L.L., was found on December 21, 2022, in the couple's Burlington home lying on the floor of the basement, which was locked from the outside.
Witnesses told the court he was so emaciated that he looked like he was six years old, even though he was 12, CBC reported. The boy died at the hospital shortly after.
J.L. testified on Thursday and was forced to relive the death of his brother and the torment that Hamber and Cooney allegedly put them through.
Both women have pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, unlawful confinement and assault with a weapon.
Lawyers for the prosecution showed J.L. a video of him talking to police in January 2023. He told them that Hamber and Cooney bound him and his brother with zip ties and placed hockey helmets on their heads.
He added that the couple forced them to wear wet suits and would lock them in their rooms at night, all while constantly monitoring their behavior with security cameras.
J.L. reiterated much of what he told the police more than two years ago, but also said that his parents would often forbid him to speak for days at a time.

Lesbians should not be able to adopt boys, because they hate men. This is more proof that homosexuals have mental health issues.
Goes right through for me with the Brave browser (pop-up blocker built-in).
So you can post an image?

The lesbians look like typical lesbians. An overweight gal stuffed into a wedding dress, and a husky woman with a butch haircut in a white tuxedo.
The boy’s faces are pixelated so you can’t see what they look like. They have some video (recorded by the lesbians) showing them in the hockey helmets, the boys forced to go up and down stairs as punishment, etc.
The defense for the women said that the boys would throw tantrums and destroy items in the house, and bit one of the women. I guess throwing a tantrum is a reasonable excuse for punishing a boy hard enough to cause death.
The boy said he bit her in self-defense as she was putting on the helmet and binding him with zip-ties. His brother destroyed a tent over his bed to keep him isolated.
Oops - not a butch haircut. Shoulder length, oily flat hair parted down the middle. And a really ugly smile.
Fruits and dykes should be prohibited by law from adopting children. They are perverted and everything they do is connected to their depravity.
“Lesbians should not be able to adopt boys, because they hate men. This is more proof that homosexuals have mental health issues.”
Well, it was either them or a Christian couple, and we can let Christians near children! /s
A 12-year-old boy died
I’ve got a real problem with the term “lesbian parent”. WTF is that? Folks get a effing grip. These two words do not belong together. PERIOD.
To understand children of the same sex, it's helpful to have had relatable experiences growing up. That's (one reason) why parents of both sexes, a real mom and a dad, are essential.
I guess the woman on the right is the “husband”?
/scratching my head 😄🤣🤣
The entire LGBTWRSTUVWXYZ freak show is psychological disease as is liberalism.
Reeducation is a possibility only because euthanasia probably wouldn’t be allowed.
To simulate a condom I assume. I’ll read the article later after digesting breakfast
