A 25-year-old woman named Cheyenne Star Fite in Florida, USA, gave an unimaginable punishment to her 5-year-old stepson Riley Scot Hogeback, accusing him of harming the chickens in the backyard.

DIED IN A SEWER PIT

Fite left her stepson outside naked. The little boy fell into a 2-meter deep sewer pit. Police teams stated that the sewer pit where Hogeback's lifeless body was found was contaminated with pig waste and sewage. After initial intervention by health teams, the child was taken to the hospital but unfortunately passed away despite all efforts. Forensic experts determined that the child's lungs were "covered in brown and green sludge."

"I TURNED MY BACK FOR FIVE MINUTES" DEFENSE

According to a report by the Daily Mail, Fite claimed that the incident occurred while she turned her back for five minutes to fold laundry, during which the child was playing in a puddle left by Hurricane Helene. However, investigators revealed that the pit in question was about the distance of a football field away from the area Fite mentioned.

Denying the allegations, Fite stated that she was taking care of two siblings aged 3 and 5. The court charged the stepmother with causing the death of a child, but her sentence has not yet been determined.
