Abneris Santiago kept her three children locked in a filthy motel bathroom for over a year. She rarely fed them, but she and her boyfriend ate hot dogs, Oreos, and other snacks. She went to work every day, but never bothered to pick up the phone and ask someone to help her children. The boyfriend repeatedly raped the little girl. When the children were finally rescued, observers said they looked like holocaust victims. They required weeks of hospitalization, and their emotional therapy is ongoing.
Poor Abneris! She told the judge at her trial, "I've been through so much . . . out of one nightmare and into another." Excuse me, Abneris, if I don't shed any tears for you.
