UPDATED FEB 4, 2019

A seven-year-old boy died in the care of a Wisconsin couple and their son, leading to their arrest on Friday on related charges.

The little boy was allegedly punished by Timothy and Tina Hauschultz, and their 15-year-old son Damian for not memorizing verses from The Bible, Daily Mail reports.

According to Newsweek, seven-year-old Ethan was forced to hold a 44-pound log for two hours every day for a week as a penalty for the same. "Ethan had been performing punishment ordered by Timothy which required Ethan to carry a heavy wooden log, weighing approximately two-thirds his body weight, while being monitored by Timothy’s 15-year-old son," a release from the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office said.
