Parents starve teenage girl - Survived by drinking water out of a toilet


Seattle - A former Albuquerque couple living in Seattle is under arrest for starving their teenage daughter. The abuse was so bad, authorities in Washington state say, the 14-year-old girl resembled a second grader. Officers say the girl, who weighed just 48 pounds, survived by drinking water out of a toilet. Her parents are accused of depriving her of food, drink and medical care. The teen's father, former Albuquerque resident Jon Pomeroy, and her stepmother, Rebecca Long, are both under arrest. The mother's excuse was she has behavior problems and this was nothing more than discipline. More... Magazine Lane - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Nutty News Marketplace - 1-800-PetMeds
