A woman allegedly held her “severely emaciated” stepson in captivity for over 20 years, since he was 11 years old, and forced him to endure “prolonged abuse."

A man reportedly held captive by his stepmom for 20 years was 'extremely thin' and allegedly told teachers he wasn't allowed to eat at home, his former principal said in an interview.

Sullivan was evacuated safely from the home. But a second resident, a 32-year-old man identified as Sullivan's stepson, suffered smoke inhalation and fire exposure. He had to be assisted out of the home, the release said.
