Fourth Suspect Arrested in Torture Case

Police are holding a fourth suspect in the case of a 16-year-old boy who showed up emaciated and shackled at a gym.

Anthony Waiters was arrested at his place of work. He was booked at San Joaquin County Jail on charges of torture, conspiracy, child endangerment, corporal injury to a child and false imprisonment, according to police.

Police did not release any additional information about the arrest, citing a judge's gag order on parties to the case.

Three other people face torture, kidnapping and multiple child abuse charges in connection with the case.

Michael Schumacher, his wife, Kelly Layne Lau, and the teen's one-time guardian, Caren Ramirez, are each being held in lieu of more than $2.2 million bail at San Joaquin County Jail.

They have yet to enter pleas and are due back in court Jan. 5.

This is good -- it shows public outrage is growing and hopefully will result in major jailtime for the perps!

Outrage? Enraged? Screaming in the streets? What does it take to get rid of these people, these sociopaths, these psychopaths? Videos of the abuse?
