In a shocking revelation for residents of a quiet Victorville neighborhood, Kenneth and Tina Key, along with their daughter Katlynn, have been charged with multiple counts of child torture and abuse. The charges allege a horrific pattern of daily beatings, starvation, and strangulation of six children over a period exceeding a decade. Neighbors expressed disbelief, recalling the children as well-mannered and frequently present in the community. This tragic case highlights the disturbing reality of hidden abuse that can occur even in seemingly normal suburban settings.
The San Bernardino County district attorney's office has charged Kenneth and Tina Key, both 60 years old, and Katlynn Key, 23, with six counts of torture and one count of child abuse.
Prosecutors said the adults tortured the children, beating them daily, depriving them of food and strangling them to the point of passing out.
On a recent morning, a lone minivan sat in the driveway outside the Keys' home. A knock on the door went unanswered.
Jose Martinez expressed shock at the revelations, stating, 'We don't know what goes on in someone's home. It just hurts to hear.'
