Bertha Cashed The Foster Care Checks While Duane Made Hamburger Of The Kid’s Behinds

Orcutt, California (The Weekly Vice) - Bertha Savoy, a 71-year-old Orcutt state licensed foster mother, and her 38-year-old nephew, Duane James, were arrested Wednesday after the pair allegedly put Bertha's foster children through a living hell over a 4-year period.

According to the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Office, Savoy housed four foster children that told investigators she beat them with clothes hangars, forced them to sleep outside on concrete, and denied them food and shelter.
