Boy describes being locked up, starved by father and his girlfriend

Story here. Excerpt:

'Just a few minutes before he arrived in court Wednesday for the trial of a woman accused of starving him nearly to death, the state laid out evidence against her. A Titusville investigator held up the tiny Spiderman pajamas he was wearing when he was found — boys size 8. Prosecutors showed photos of how he looked at the time. Intense light blue eyes. Gaunt cheeks. Skeletal ribs.

He spoke softly as he recounted his time with Sharon Glass, who faces multiple felony charges, including aggravated child abuse. Police said she and Michael Marshall were caregivers for the boy and other children. Marshall is in jail awaiting trial on similar charges.

On the stand, the boy gave short answers to the prosecutor’s questions. He first met Glass in 2009, when he was in the third grade. She was dating Marshall, his father. Soon, they were living together. Soon, he called her “mom.”

Soon, he started getting in trouble.

The first time he recalled in court was when Glass accused him of stealing an iPod. He testified he didn’t take it. He was later accused when other things went missing. He was punished for taking fruit off a tree and for stealing food.
...
The most serious punishment came in the house on Barna Avenue.

“I was constantly locked up,” he told prosecutors.

When he was put in his room, the boy would escape. When he did, Glass told Marshall she’d leave him if he didn’t lock the boy up.
...
On Christmas 2011, he was let out of the bathroom to watch other children open gifts. He was put back in the bathroom and given a stocking full of coal.'
