Maria Keable and Deirdre Carrington terrorized their six children for over nine years - forcing the kids (all under the age of 16) to eat tablespoons of chili powder and raw eggs. For an after-dinner treat they stung the children with nettles if they failed to do their chores.
The children were also hit with various objects and kicked around.
Maria Keable, a 60-year-old Macedonian, believed “her motives were Christian”.
These two Mormons annoyed the judge.
Judge Timothy Nash said:
The sort of conduct you displayed to these children was reminiscent of Victorian times in this country and indeed, in certain religious spheres, was reminiscent of the 1950s. This was a case of sustained cruelty that some would say bordered on torture. It had a sadistic element to it. You were undoubtedly, Maria, obsessed with punishment. You behaved like a hospital matron of the 19th century, bullying the children in an unforgivable way.
Judge Nash also told Maria Keable:
It’s no good you saying ‘this is what we did in Macedonia’. You have been over here for 40 years, you know how we live over here and that’s what makes your part in this so wrong.
The pair were sentenced to 19 months in prison.
