One Wicked Lady

By John Mesirow

You can find the original report on this sadistic woman, Ms. Eunice Spry, here. She was just re-sentenced for the incredible abuse she inflicted upon 3 foster children over a 19-year period. Incredibly, the appeals court reduced her sentence for the abuse from 12 to 10 years. Here are some of the things she did. (Per 24dash.com, she was convicted of "26 charges, ranging from unlawful wounding, cruelty to a person under 16, assault occasioning actual bodily harm and witness intimidation when she threatened one of the children who was to give evidence against her.")

She forced sticks down the children's throats.

She made them eat their own vomit.

She made them eat rat excrement.

She would beat the children on the soles of their feet.

She forced them to drink washing-up liquid and bleach.

She even confined one girl to a wheelchair for three years after a car crash in a cynical bid to maximise compensation for the accident.

Since she is 64, Ms. Spry will likely be a free woman again. That's wrong. It's also wrong that she'll be in jail for less time than she tortured those kids. Here's the source.
