Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Nanny cam footage captures the extreme abuse 9-year-old Emrik Osuna suffered at the hands of his stepmother and father. Police say the young boy was tortured regularly until his body gave out. An investigation reveals the boy, who weighed just 44 pounds, was made to exercise as much as 12 hours a day. Some days, he was made to exercise for 20 hours.

The other children in the home, including an infant, did not appear to have been abused, investigators said. The video footage showed Ermik Osuna’s siblings, stepmother, and father eating dinner while he ate nothing. The 9-year-old could be seen sleeping in a hallway closet or on the living room floor as everyone else slept in their bedrooms.
