Connecticut’s ‘lax’ homeschool regs may have aided accused abuser Kimberly Sullivan

A disturbing case of child abuse has come to light in Connecticut, where a 32-year-old man was found living in deplorable conditions after being locked away by his stepmother for over two decades. The stepmother, 56-year-old Kimberly Sullivan, now faces multiple charges related to the horrific abuse that the victim endured.

The victim, who weighed a shocking 68 pounds at the age of 32, managed to escape his captivity by setting the house on fire in February. The conditions in which he was kept were described as akin to a horror movie, with authorities comparing it to the treatment of Holocaust victims. Waterbury Police Chief Fernando Spagnolo expressed shock at the severity of the abuse, calling it the worst treatment of humanity he had ever witnessed in his 33 years in law enforcement.

The victim’s ordeal began when he was pulled out of school by his stepmother in the fourth grade and essentially disappeared from the education system. Connecticut’s lax homeschooling regulations may have enabled the stepmother to keep the abuse hidden for so long. The state lacks clear guidelines for ensuring the safety and well-being of homeschooled children, making it easy for parents to withdraw their children from school without any real oversight.

Even when the victim was still in the public school system, signs of abuse were reportedly missed. The former principal at Barnard Elementary School recalled alerting the state Department of Children and Families to concerns about the family back in 2005, but the child was eventually pulled out of school, cutting off any further contact with authorities.

The victim revealed to police that he received no formal education after leaving elementary school and was subjected to unimaginable living conditions in a padlocked storage space. He was given minimal access to food and water, often resorting to drinking from the toilet bowl, and forced to relieve himself in bottles and on newspapers.

Despite the shocking nature of the abuse, Sullivan was able to post bail and was released from custody after less than 24 hours. The case has highlighted the need for stricter regulations and oversight in Connecticut’s homeschooling system to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
