A seven-year-old boy has died after allegedly being buried alive by his guardians because he didn’t know the Bible.
Ethan Hauschultz was reportedly buried in a ‘little coffin of snow’ while in the care of his court-appointed guardians Timothy Hauschultz and Tina Hauschultz. It is not known exactly how the Hauschultzs are related to Ethan, but they are listed as his legal guardians.
The couple are accused of always making the boy and his twin brother serve sickening punishments whenever they failed to memorise verses from the Bible. The punishment included being made to hold a 44-pound log for two hours every day for a week.
Timothy and Tina Hauschultz’s 15-year-old son is also alleged to have tortured the 7-year-old boy. The teenager once kicked and punched Ethan at least 100 times, rolled a heavy log over his body and stood on his head while he was face-down in a puddle.
