I guess it's not just a Texas thing after all!
Three Los Angeles women have pleaded not guilty to burning, starving and beating the 5-year-old son of one of the women.
A Compton court commissioner accepted the pleas Wednesday in an abuse and torture case against the boy's mother, 24-year-old Starkeisha Brown; her live-in girlfriend and a baby sitter. The mother could face 25 years to life in prison if convicted.
The boy was hospitalized June 9 after being found ill and in the care of a homeless stranger outside a Los Angeles County child services office in Compton.
Prosecutors claim the women beat Brown's son, starved him, burned his genitals with cigarettes and forced him to place his hands on a hot stove.
