6-Year-Old Pennsylvania Girl Buried Alive By Father
In September, Greene County social workers found severe bruising on the girl’s face and body, police said.
The Greene County district attorney said it’s one of the worst child abuse cases he’s ever seen.
“The allegations are that this child was beaten brutally, that the child had bruises all over her body, that she was choked to the point that she had passed out,” Greene County District Attorney David Russo said.
“She was buried in a hole as punishment. She was thrown in a hole overnight. Her head was slammed off the wall and slammed off the floor. This is a barbaric situation.”
The girl told investigators that Kraft often beat her with a belt and his arm, which has a metal rod in it from surgery, police said. Authorities said they documented that the girl’s body was covered in old and new bruises.
Kraft is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, strangulation, reckless endangerment, false imprisonment and more.
Investigators said the children have been put in foster care.
