<p>Two <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/tag/pennsylvania/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania</a> women were accused of horrifically <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/crime/he-was-trying-to-survive-dad-who-beat-thirsty-6-year-old-son-to-death-for-drinking-out-of-the-toilet-learns-his-fate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abusing</a> a 12-year-old girl — and the alleged abusers were her own mother and grandmother.</p>
<p>Stacey Ann Louder, 52, and Amanda Lynn Gregorio, 35, were arrested on Monday following an investigation that began in September 2024. According to <a href="https://www.citizensvoice.com/2025/04/22/da-exeter-family-restrained-child-to-bed-fed-her-dog-food/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrest reports</a> obtained by local news outlet The Citizen’s Voice, the girl was first taken into custody by Luzerne County Children, Youth and Families after she was <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/crime/extremely-hot-water-mom-waited-3-hours-to-take-toddler-son-to-hospital-after-boyfriend-burned-boys-arms-and-hands-cops-say/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hospitalized</a> for seizure-like symptoms. During the visit, Gregorio — the girl’s mother — allegedly admitted to giving the girl 50 mg of Benadryl and 60 mg of melatonin before she began showing symptoms.</p>
<p>From there, investigators uncovered more about the girl’s home life.</p>
<aside class="o-callout__recirculate o-callout"/>
<p>According to the arrest reports, the girl’s trip to the hospital sparked concern among the medical professionals who treated her. They suspected abuse based on injuries she had including bruising and scars from being restrained to her bed.</p>
<p>The girl was asked about being restrained by police, and she told them it “hurt” and “made her mad.” She also reportedly told police that she was forced to relieve herself while restrained in her bed, where she would remain for long periods of time. According to the report, Louder and Gregorio installed cameras in the girl’s room to make sure she didn’t escape.</p>
<p>The alleged abuse extended to forcing the girl to eat cat food, which Gregorio admitted to a witness on the phone, authorities said. The witness also said that Gregorio told her she didn’t like restraining her daughter, but that Louder — Gregorio’s mother and the alleged victim’s grandmother — was “making” her do it.</p>
<p>Prosecutors said that the girl’s weight had dropped to 50 lbs.</p>
<p>Luzerne County District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce said in a statement, “The abuse of this child offends the sense of decency of every mother, grandmother, and otherwise respectable person imaginable. Once again, the very people to whom this child would look to keep her safe, were her assailants.”</p>
<p>Louder and Gregorio were each charged with aggravated assault of a victim less than 13, conspiracy, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, endangering the welfare of children, recklessly endangering another person, simple assault and tampering with evidence. They were held on $125,000 cash bail at Luzerne County Correctional Facility.</p>
<p>Both women are due in court on May 6.</p>

<p id="caption-attachment-511309" class="wp-caption-text">Background: IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital in Muncie, Ind. where a 10-year-old showed signs of “nutritional” neglect (Google Maps). Inset (left): Melody Greenwood (Muncie Police Department). Inset (right): Adam Greenwood (Muncie Police Department).</p>
</div>
<p>An <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/tag/indiana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indiana</a> couple could faces charges after police said they singled out their 10-year-old son for <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/crime/intolerable-for-an-animal-mom-abandoned-kids-for-years-at-feces-filled-home-where-daughters-slept-on-pizza-boxes-cops-say/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">neglectful</a> treatment.</p>
<p>According to court documents <a href="https://www.thestarpress.com/story/news/crime/2025/02/27/parents-accused-of-abusing-neglecting-10-year-old-muncie-boy/80742600007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obtained</a> by the Muncie Star Press, Melody Greenwood, 38, and Adam Greenwood, 36, were arrested by Muncie, Indiana police after bringing their 10-year-old son to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital in late February.</p>
<p>Medical staff alerted the Indiana Department of Child Services upon noticing that the boy was showing signs of “nutritional” neglect and <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/crime/lack-of-remorse-woman-teamed-up-with-her-parents-to-abuse-10-year-old-forced-him-to-eat-his-own-vomit-and-hit-him-with-curtain-rod-cops-say/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">child abuse</a>, police say. When law enforcement interviewed the boy and the rest of his family, the child reportedly detailed a harrowing experience, allegedly at the hands of his parents.</p>
<aside class="o-callout__recirculate o-callout"/>
<p>The boy was found to be “extremely skinny” and had “scars and marks on his wrists” that appeared “consistent with restraints,” police said in an arrest affidavit. The boy reportedly told officers that his mother zip-tied his wrists.</p>
<p>The boy also told officers that his mother allegedly zip-tied his hands behind his back as his seven siblings were getting ready for bed, WXIN, a local Fox affiliate, citing the documents, <a href="https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/court-docs-muncie-parents-zip-tied-withheld-food-from-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. She allegedly made the child wear the constraints to bed and then removed them with scissors, leaving scars on the boy’s wrists. The boy told police the zip-ties caused him pain from being too tight.</p>
<p>The documents stated that none of the other siblings were subjected to the same treatment as the 10-year-old. In interviews with the other children, police said that the allegedly singled-out boy was often forced to stand against a wall for “10-12 hours” and “grounded” because of behavior issues. The siblings were also allegedly instructed to “beat him up” if he moved away from the wall, the boy reportedly said.</p>
<p>When it came to how the parents fed their eight children, police said that the 10-year-old was allegedly given “canned food, vegetables and protein” and was prohibited from snacking or any junk food, Melody Greenwood allegedly said. The other children, however, got to eat “cheeseburgers and fast food.”</p>
<p>The documents also stated that the boy was allegedly disallowed from watching TV or playing video games. In order to prevent him from participating, a towel was reportedly placed over his head.</p>
<p>Melody Greenwood allegedly told police that all of her children were home-schooled, though when police spoke to the children, that entailed the two oldest siblings reading three chapters of a book to their younger siblings while their parents went to work.</p>
<p>Melody and Adam Greenwood were both arrested by Muncie police and face several preliminary charges of child neglect. They were both booked into Delaware County Jail and were released after posted bond. The case now lies in the hands of Delaware County Prosecutor Eric Hoffman, who has yet to decide whether or not the Greenwoods will be formally charged.</p>

<p>A <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/tag/florida/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida</a> man and woman were arrested after cops allegedly found their five children alone in a home without food, electricity or a working toilet.</p>
<p>Sanel Canovic, 40, and Azra Nikocevic, 33, are each facing five counts of <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/tag/child-neglect/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">child neglect</a> without bodily harm, court records show. <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/tag/miami/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miami</a> Beach Police Department spokesman Christopher Bess told Law&amp;Crime the investigation began Tuesday afternoon when a passerby in the 700 block of 15th Street — a high-traffic area — saw a 6-year-old boy crossing the street by himself. The passerby called 911, and cops found the little boy, who took them to his nearby apartment.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://lawandcrime.com/crime/mom-who-abandoned-infant-in-soiled-diaper-at-hard-rock-casino-couldnt-remember-the-babys-age-police/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">More Law&amp;Crime coverage: Mom who abandoned infant in soiled diaper at Hard Rock casino couldn’t remember the baby’s age: Police</a></strong></p>
<p>What cops found was appalling — and landed the parents behind bars. Inside were four other children, all under 12, Bess said. There was no electricity, working toilet or food, according to Bess. The kids said they hadn’t eaten in over 12 hours and were hungry. Officers took the kids to the police station and fed them as they tried to track down the parents.</p>
<p>“They were nowhere to be found,” Bess said.</p>
<p>Miami <a href="https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/parents-arrested-after-5-kids-found-in-miami-beach-apartment-with-no-electricity-food/3505635/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC affiliate WTVJ obtained</a> an arrest affidavit that further detailed the kids’ predicament. Officers noted that the toilet in the home was filled with feces. The kids allegedly told them that their parents had them take showers after using the bathroom since there was no toilet paper in the apartment. Cops recovered soiled rags in the bathroom. The kids wore soiled clothing and smelled of urine, per the affidavit.</p>
<p>They also said they were without electricity for about two months, the affidavit reportedly said. The oldest daughter explained how they usually ate breakfast and lunch at school, but since they were on Christmas break, they often had nothing to eat. Their mother reportedly left them $20 for food at McDonald’s before she went to work on Tuesday.</p>
<aside class="o-callout__recirculate o-callout"/>
<p>“The parents would frequently share a meal in the evening without providing food for the children,” the affidavit reportedly said. “They would often leave the children at home while they went out to dinner.”</p>
<p>Officers finally got ahold of the mother and told her to go to the police station. She explained they were behind on their bill, so the electricity shut off about six weeks ago. Nikocevic also confirmed that she gave her kids the $20 for food but had no way of knowing they actually ate anything because they could not contact her at work.</p>
<p>Canovic arrived at the police station but declined to speak with cops without a lawyer. Cops transported him to the Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation facility, where he remains on a $7,500 bond. Nikocevic was released on her own recognizance. Their next court date is scheduled for Jan. 30.</p>
