Harsh Grandparents!

A 13 year old boy was made to sit with his hands behind his back and on his knees as a punishment for not doing his homework. The boy was living with his grandparents when they saw he wasn't keeping up with his homework. They decided that as punishment he had to kneel on the bathroom floor looking straight ahead with his hands tied behind his back while holding a stick. It started at 7 am. and went until 4 pm. This wasn't a one time trial either. The boy was made to do this for ten straight days without any food besides a protein shake in the morning. After the ten days of kneeling they gave him three days of rest and then noticed he wasn't doing his homework again. They then forced him to do this process again. This time they were sentencing him to 20 days of kneeling from 7 am. to midnight. On the second day of punishment the boy escaped and was picked up by a person driving by that had noticed he was having trouble walking and took him in until the police arrived. His grandparents defence was that the boy had a mental illness and was clearly told this was a punishment but was able to stand up whenever he felt to. But, the boy had severe bruising on his knees and lashes on his back from his grandmother hitting him because he was caught moving. This story is under investigation and will be trials to come.
