Step-siblings of 5-year-old who was starved by stepmother say they sneaked him bread to keep him alive
When police showed up at their Spring house, Bleimeyer, who was six months pregnant at the time, took Jordan with her and refused to return to the house.
The step-siblings of a five-year-old boy who was starved, forced to wear a diaper and was locked in a cupboard under the stairs by his step-mother in Harris County, Texas, have said that they used to sneak the child bread in an effort to keep him alive. One of the siblings ultimately alerted the authorities about his parents' ill-treatment of the child.
The mother-of-seven, identified as Tammi Bleimeyer, was found guilty of injury to a child by omission last week for forcing Jordan Bleimeyer, now nine years old, to sleep in the dingy space, what the family called the "Harry Potter room." Jordan's father, Bradley Bleimeyer, pleaded guilty to the same charge in 2016 and was imprisoned for 15 years, reports state.
