When she was taken to the hospital the 10-year-old girl had a broken neck and bruises from head to toe.
"You're hearing all of these details and it's gruesome. You don't wish that upon anybody," says her uncle Walter who only wanted to be identified by his first name.
Walter and Levit reported all of this to authorities. It led to the conviction of the girl's stepmother, 33-year-old Mayra Chavez, on charges of torture and child abuse. Chavez lived in an Anaheim apartment with the girl's father, Domingo Junior Flores. Chavez was also convicted of abusing three other children in the home, including another stepdaughter and two of her own children.
The family is now trying to help the young girl and the other children as they deal with not only the physical injuries but emotional injuries as well.
