One of the worst cases of child abuse in the United States has been exposed. Six children endured the torments inflicted by their father until he was arrested by the Las Vegas police. The children, aged between two and 11, were rescued on June 11, but the case had not been made public until now.
The father's partner and mother of the children, Amanda Stamper, made the courageous decision to call the authorities and report the situation, as she was also a victim of abuse. She had to make the call from a pharmacy. The police even labeled it as "the worst case of child abuse."
The distressing call from Amanda prompted the police to respond swiftly. They were shocked to witness the horrific conditions the children were living in when they arrived at the scene.
Videos of the children's rescue, shared by 8FoxNow, showed the kids, malnourished and covered in bruises, being kept in cages similar to dog kennels.
Travis Doss, the father of the six siblings, subjected them to a life of misery, neglect, and physical abuse. The children were living amid filth and squalor.
Despite being just 31 years old, Travis presented a facade of luxury and opulence to the outside world, concealing the horrifying reality of his actions.
He even forced his partner into prostitution. Presently, Travis is facing charges of child abuse and human trafficking. Although the mother was also under the control of the abusive father, she is being investigated for allowing the mistreatment to occur.
"It's always been pretty bad. Anytime I tried to stand up for them though he would lash out at me," she noted.
