LOS ANGELES - Ten children found living in squalid conditions in a California home were waterboarded, shot at with crossbows and had scalding water poured over them by their mother and her partner, authorities said Wednesday. "Due to the continuous abuse, the children have varying forms of scars, including broken arms." The children were taken into custody and it was only during the subsequent probe that the sadistic abuse came to light, authorities said. "During the investigation, the children thoroughly described the incidents of abuse," according to the motion filed by prosecutors. It said that Rogers was aware of the incidents, which date back several years, "and assisted with the abuse herself."
