A mother and father in Pennsylvania are being accused of physically and emotionally torturing their 6-year-old daughter, allegedly leaving her bound in a locked dog cage for hours at a time, starving her for days in a row, and having the other children in the home assault her. Jacob William Weight, 37, and Mimi Ann Frost, 33, were taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with aggravated assault, strangulation, corruption of minors, simple assault, and endangering the welfare of children, authorities announced.

According to a news release from the Pennsylvania State Police, the arrests came after an “extensive investigation” into allegations of abuse by the parents.

The investigation began when PSP troopers on Jan. 7, 2024, responded to a 911 call regarding an unresponsive 6-year-old at a residence in the 1300 block of Sheridan Avenue in the Brownsville Borough of Fayette County.

Upon arriving at the home, first responders were met by Weight, who allegedly would not allow them into the home and instead brought the 6-year-old victim outside to them, Pittsburgh NBC affiliate WPXI reported. She was immediately transported to Uniontown Hospital where doctors reportedly recorded her body temperature at 88.7 degrees.

“When Troopers arrived, they observed the residence in deplorable condition. Inside the residence, they observed dog feces, trash, and urine throughout the house,” the release states. “After conducting interviews with all the children within the residence, it was uncovered that the six-year-old child was being held in a dog crate, zip-tied, and beat with a broom on multiple occasions. The arrestees also committed various other criminal acts against the child.”
