As Bad as It Gets

California -- Reading about this torturing case really sends shivers down my spine. I can't help but wonder how anyone can get themselves to do such things to another human being?

A 43-year-old woman has been charged with starving and torturing a 16-year-old boy for more than a year. The teenage boy was under her care, while living with another couple in their Tracy home.

Now, the torture victim's older brother has spoken, clearly blaming the woman for "what she did to our relationship."

The brother said the woman was a friend of their single, drug-addicted mother. Not sure how the woman gained custody of the two boys -- the older brother said she managed to take them away.

The older brother said the beatings began when they failed to win their taekwondo matches. He added the woman sometimes forced the boys to hit each other.

My, oh my...
