A Torrington man and his girlfriend have been charged with risk of injury after a 3-year-old boy was found locked in a room in their home with a broken arm.
Police said the boy was forced to stay in the room for a month as punishment for swearing. He was allowed to leave only to use the toilet for a bowel movement. A 20-ounce soda bottle was provided when he had to urinate, according to the police report.
The child's father, Jeremy Lacey 29, and his girlfriend, Mistee Lee Lemons, 27, were charged with three counts of risk of injury to a minor ordered held on $150,000 bonds. They are scheduled to return to court on August 2.
The boy and seven other children in the home were taken into state custody.
The boy told police he hurt his arm trying to climb on a milk crate to open the door.
He was found Monday by a neighbor, who told police she went into the apartment after seeing several children hanging off a second-floor balcony.
Jenny Loomis told the Register Citizen of Torrington that when she unlocked the bedroom door and saw the boy with a bloody lip and cradling his swollen arm, she was devastated.
"I was shaking and it took everything I had not to cry about what I was seeing," Loomis said.
"When I opened the door and told him he could come out, he looked around and said he was not allowed to talk," she said. "I thought something has to be done."
The child's fracture appeared to be at least 15 hours old, according to the police report.
The children told police the couple also forced them to balance books on their heads as punishment, and would spank them if a book dropped.
Well, there are two. Heads, you get the guy, tails, I do.......
Outstanding!!
I cant do your job, I would have slammed the idiot against the car hood.
Initially I had typed the word "dad" but had to correct myself by retyping the word "father".
I like your correction better.
I mentioned sadistic in my post. And, of course, I was being sarcastic.
susie
Good for you. Thanks for calling it like it is - these animals should never be called "father" or "mother" by anyone...
Does the trash man get angry at the trash? Sure sometimes he hates the smell. Sometimes he wishes the can didn't get kicked over. But getting angry at the trash, while at times is unavoidable, has no positive effect.
Only 5 of the children are hers, the rest are her boyfriend.
I need to agree with you that they need to be punished I think a baseball bat is to good for them needs to be a slower more painful punishment
To bad that sh also goes by 3 or 4 other last Names
If they dont go away for good they better hide really well.

I'm sorry, but I question the sanity and judgement of any woman who would procreate with an animal like this man. It's hard not to lable her guilty by association....
your on the right track but thats still not enough how about just shooting there face off.
