A mother, grandmother and uncle are accused of abusing and neglecting three Pennsylvania children so severely that a medical professional found the abuse met the “definition of child torture,” according to police.

York County District Attorney Tim Barker identified Ashley Cardona, 29, as the children’s mother, Lori Cardona, 53, as their grandmother, and Michael Cardona, 27, who is Ashley’s brother, as their uncle during a news conference on their arrests, WGAL reported.

Ashley and Lori are facing charges including aggravated assault, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, endangering the welfare of children, and criminal conspiracy, according to authorities.

Michael faces charges including criminal conspiracy to commit unlawful restraint, criminal conspiracy to commit false imprisonment, and endangering the welfare of children.

In March 2024, authorities began investigating alleged child abuse involving Ashley’s children, ages 5, 6 and 10, at her family’s Newberry Township home, police said.

The investigation revealed that for two years, her 6-year-old son, who is now 8, was forced to stay in a “crib cage” surrounded by urine and feces while her 5-year-old daughter, who is now 6, was regularly restrained in a car seat for nearly 24 hours each day, Barker said at the news conference, according to WGAL.

While describing the crib cage the boy was confined to, Barker said it was "a homemade caged crib constructed with stacked cribs, ratchet straps, zip ties, locking mechanisms” and that the boy “was restrained” to it “with a wrist device connected to a leash.”

Michael told police that he built the cage, according to authorities, FOX43 reported.

A third child, now 12, told police that Ashley “hates” the children “and doesn’t care what happens” to them, according to a criminal complaint viewed by the TV station.

The boy kept in the alleged crib cage and the girl often confined to a car seat were both extremely malnourished, had developmental delays and had not been trained to use the bathroom, Barker said at the news conference, WGAL reported. The girl also had major tooth decay, according to Barker.

All of the children have been taken out of the home and were placed in “alternative living arrangements,” police said in the release.

Ashley is a bitch and those kids should never be returned to her. The aunt and uncle look weak and because of that should also never have access to those children either.

Those kids may sadly be irreparably damaged for life because of this bitch.

Each of them should be strapped to a chair for 20 hours a day!! What a miserable existence! All three of those adults were complicit in this! None of this makes any sense!! Their parental rights should be severed immediately! Those children are going to need specialized services, therapy, sure hope they can recover!
