How on earth is this story so similar to the other one. But the other was in Canada, and this one is in Pennsylvania.
Concerned school officials in early September called police in Brookville, which is some 70 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, after the 16-year-old boy showed up looking malnourished. They had not seen him since May 2024, as he typically goes to virtual school. The boy had lost roughly 20 pounds in that time span, cops reportedly said.
Authorities interviewed the boy, who detailed abuse allegedly at the hands of the women. He said he would be confined to his room that lacked any toys, books or electronics for hours at a time with cameras monitoring his every movement.
The teen alleged he was forced to stand for hours and exercise “to the point of exhaustion,” and that he was duct-taped to the floor of his bedroom at night,
He allegedly told police that he was not given a mattress or clothes to sleep in, and that he had been locked in the basement for several days as punishment, per the outlets. He additionally alleged he was pushed down the stairs and cut with a knife, resulting in injuries including a shoulder wound which resulted in scarring.
He also claimed, per the criminal complaint, that the women used clowns as a scare tactic and threatened to squirt cat insulin into his eyes.
The suspects also reportedly sliced his genitals and cut his arm with a blade, which caused excessive bleeding.
"Luckily, I didn't die from that," he allegedly said.
The boy explained to investigators that when he was first placed in the suspects' home, things were good.
"I thought it was going to be fun," he said. "There were toys and books, and they would read me bedtime stories every night."
But the situation began to take a turn for the worse when Billotte and Faber began to withhold sugar-based foods, saying they made him hyper, the affidavit stated. They then allegedly began to take food away from him. Billotte and Faber also allegedly forced him to lay on the floor without a mattress and on a couple of occasions duct-taped him to his bedroom floor.
