Foster mother inflicted 20 years of sadistic abuse on three children
Extract:
"A "sadistic" foster mother was found guilty yesterday of subjecting three children in her care to a horrifying catalogue of physical and mental abuse over 20 years.
Eunice Spry, 62, beat the children with sticks and metal bars, scrubbed their skin with sandpaper and forced them to eat lard, bleach, vomit and even their own faeces.
She treated the children, two girls and a boy, as if they were her slaves, ordering one of them to stay in a wheelchair for four years even though she could walk so Spry could claim benefits for her.
Spry, a Jehovah's Witness and a pillar of her local community, would punish the children because she thought they were possessed by the devil. Once she kept two of them imprisoned, naked and starving, in a room for a month.
She forced them to run up and down the stairs and "tortured" them by making them take part in the "invisible chair" game, squatting for hours on end until they collapsed - then they were beaten.
The abuse, which lasted from 1986 to 2005, was not spotted by the authorities and last night the Gloucestershire Safeguarding Children Board (GSCB), the body now responsible for monitoring organisations in charge of children's welfare in the county, admitted mistakes were made."

I am absoloutley appauled by the treatment that Eunice Spry was able to inflict on three innocnet children. I have read the sad story of those defenceless children's upbringing. You would never treat an animal the way she treated them. It would be befitting for someone to give her the same treatment & see jut how mush she has damaged them. I am surprised that she never managed to kill any of them, god forbid, ans as for her being a Devout Jehovas Witness, what does that mean?.. nothing!! Sometimes you do wonder if there is a hell or not, because that is where she is going with out any shadow of a doubt. She should never have her sentance reduced, if anything it was far too leniant in the first place. What an insult to those 3 brave children. Let her rot is all I have to say, she doesnt deserve anything less.
