@yass.unitedstates: A Kentucky couple, Mary Hall and Jerome Norman, were sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted of severe child abuse involving three children under their care. Authorities said the children were locked in a room, starved, and forced into labor, with one child so deprived they resorted to sucking wall insulation to try to stay hydrated. The abuse came to light after school staff noticed injuries and malnourishment when one child returned after a break. An investigation revealed ongoing torture-like conditions despite the couple having sufficient resources. Both pleaded guilty and received the maximum sentence under the agreement. Officials said the children suffered extreme trauma, and the case could have been even worse if school staff had not reported the warning signs. #kentucky #couple #children #truecrime #abuse
