A 5-year-old Los Angeles boy is fighting for his life after police say he was severely tortured with burns and food deprivation by his lesbian mother and her live-in girlfriend.Officials say the child has countless cigarette burns all over his body, including his genitals, and can't open his hands because he was forced to put them flat on a hot stove.
The boy was also repeatedly beaten and forced to sit in his own urine, police said.
"In my time in policing in 27 years, I have never seen anybody with these kinds of injuries that has lived," Los Angeles Police Department First Assistant Chief James McDonnell said. "And this kid must have a tremendous will to live to be able to still hang on despite what he's been through."
The abuse was "akin to a level of torture we hope our military personnel would never encounter," said Lt. Vincent Neglia of the LAPD's Abused Child Unit.
Other abuse the boy suffered included being denied food and water, as well as being beaten while suspended from a door with his hands above his head.
