Arizona Couple Accused of Abusing 2 Daughters
PHOENIX June 6, 2014 (AP)

Police in a Phoenix suburb have arrested a married couple on suspicion of child abuse, accusing them of severely malnourishing two adopted daughters and forcing them to sleep in a backyard tent either nude or only in a diaper.

According to Peoria police, the 13-year-old and 11-year-old girls also were subjected to strict punishment routines that included hourlong running sessions and memorization of Bible verses.

Johan Glenn Jorg and Kimery Lynn Jorg appeared Thursday night before a judge who set bond at $100,000 apiece.

Court records do not list attorneys for the couple, and jail officials did not immediately respond when asked whether the Jorgs remain in custody Friday. A woman who answered a phone listed in Johan Jorg's name hung up.

It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

I get the feeling that mom and dad only had them read the verses about obeying!

Just a guess...

Kimery Jorg told police she wanted to expose the two older girls to prison-like conditions for lying or stealing. The 13- and 11-year-old were forced to use a bucket and brown bags as a toilet. They were given diapers to wear as a reward for good behavior, police said.

The 13-year-old had to sleep in a tent and also had her hair shaved as discipline, police said. The two girls were fed "prison food" of oatmeal, prunes or grits and salsa.

According to police, the couple thought their treatment was justified.

Punishments included getting swatted on the buttocks with a wooden paddle or having apple cider vinegar sprayed in their mouths, police said. The number of times was equivalent to their years of age.

these horrible people are disciples of Michael and Debi Pearl. A lot of so-called "Christian" adopters who treat their kids this way are. Just saying.
