'Being locked in a room is dehumanizing': Boy kept in 8x8 garage box testifies in adoptive dad's trialFor an hour and a half, the young victim in the case testified and it was the first time he spoke publicly about his life.
To me, being locked in a room is dehumanizing,” said the boy, now 16. News organizations are not naming the minor, to protect his identity. The boy was kept in the box, which locked from the outside. Also, the light was controlled from the outside. Inside, there were no windows.He added, his parents often denied him food and water. They left him in the box for hours and only let him out for school and household chores.Police learned about his living conditions when he ran away from home in January 2022.
I believe they weren’t trying to do any harm. I believe that people should recognize that that was a mistake and forgive them and move on,” the teen said.. He admitted to stealing, hacking into school computers, and trying to give his four-year-old brother beer to see if it was bad for him. “It looks like a couple of times you’re kind of doing things, and regardless of what you’re doing, you’re not stopping. Is that fair to say?” asked lawyer Prya Murad.One of his three siblings, a sister who was also adopted, got on the stand and confirmed much of what the boy said about his treatment and living conditions., plus three alternates, saw several videos from inside the garage.
