Kimberly Sullivan of Connecticut was arrested by the Waterbury Police Department after her 32-year-old stepson started a house fire in an effort to escape her alleged abuse.

The emaciated man, 32, was subject to 'inhumane treatment' for 'over 20 years', according to the police department

The woman allegedly managed to keep her stepson locked up for years in 'inhumane' conditions, before he regained his freedom with a clever plan.

A Connecticut mother allegedly held her severely emaciated stepson in captivity for decades in “something out of a horror movie” before he set a fire in their home to escape the “inhumane” and hellish conditions,
