DALLAS — The hotel bathroom was a de facto prison cell — a cramped, foul space where three young children were starved, beaten and sexually assaulted for at least nine months.
Each day for reasons unknown, their mother’s boyfriend would force the 10-year-old boy to stand in the corner with his arms raised above his head; his 5-year-old half brother had to kneel in another corner, arms also raised.
The 10-year-old, his face and limbs covered in bruises, told a social worker that the experience was “my living nightmare.” The 11-year-old said she repeatedly was sexually assaulted. The 5-year-old was so thin that bones were visible in his limbs.
The children were rescued by their uncle and police, their ribs protruding and their bellies distended. After throwing up food given to them by stunned officials, the children expressed gratitude at being found.
“God was watching over us and listening to our prayers,” the 11-year-old said.
The 10-year-old agreed. “My prayers have been answered,” he said. “I’m safe, that’s all I need.”
The mother’s boyfriend, Alfred Santiago, 37, faces charges of aggravated sexual assault and continuous sexual abuse. He remained jailed Wednesday, unable to make his $125,000 bail. No court appearance has been set.
The mother, Abneris Santiago, 30, is charged with injury to a child. She remained jailed on $50,000 bail and is expected to appear in court next week, when a judge will decide whether the case will go to a grand jury.

Nine months, or roughly 270 days these children were tortured and no help arrived. Day after day these children suffered unimaginable horrors at the hands of wicked adults, including the pathetic, weak mother who sat idly by and let it happen.
God was complacent too.
If God truly did answer the prayers of these children then why did God wait 270 days before intervening? Why didn’t God stop this abuse after day one, because I am sure these children prayed every day to be spared. I suppose God was busy. God is a vengeful God, a God full of wrath and content for the sinful humans, so maybe he was teaching the children a lesson.
God was complacent through the abuse of children for 270 days before ‘answering the prayers’ of children. Why did God do nothing for so long? If you fancy yourself a religious person who believes in God and the power of God to heal, protect, guide and take an interest in our lives, then why did God allow this abuse of children to go on for so long?
I know the answer. Just read any number of posts I’ve written and the answer will reveal itself to you.
