Sen. Jason Perillo, Ranking Senator on the Committee on Children, Sen. Rob Sampson, Sen. Heather Somers and Sen. Stephen Harding issued the following statement regarding a woman who has been arrested in Waterbury after allegedly kidnapping a man and holding him captive for over 20 years. (https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/new-haven/waterbury-woman-arrested-for-holding-stepson-captive-for-over-20-years/)

“The affidavit says the victim detailed a life of abuse and recalled drinking water from the toilet due to the fact that he only received two glasses of water per day.

He said that he was pulled out of school after the school called the Department of Children and Families (DCF) twice due to the victim constantly asking students for their food during lunch time because he was allegedly being starved and tortured at home.

We need ANSWERS from DCF.

We need ACCOUNTABILITY.

So, let’s hear it.

Right now.

This is horrific.

This is nauseating cruelty.

Gov. Lamont: Step up.”
