On Wednesday, a heartbreaking scene occurred in an Iowa court as a nine-year-old boy, holding his stuffed Paw Patrol Chase dog and a Spiderman action figure, told the court that his father’s girlfriend locked him in a cement basement for at least nine hours a day in the summer of 2017, beat him with a wire handle of a flyswatter, and forced him to carry a backpack filled with rocks.
Traci Tyler, 40, and her boyfriend, Alex Shadlow, 30, the boy’s father, are being tried on first-degree kidnapping charges.
