'''Mauricio and Cathy Torres''' are two American parents who killed their son by sodomising him with a stick during a camping trip in 2015.

==Biography==
The Torres family was a seemingly happy family with two children; a twelve-year-old unnamed daughter and six-year-old Maurice, aka Isiah. However, in reality they were quite possibly one of the most abusive families in history. According to their daughter's testimony, her parents (who she called "Bio Mum" and "Bio Dad") never celebrated Isiah's birthday or gave him Christmas presents. Instead, they kept him locked in a cage like an animal fed him only rice and beans. They also beat him with sticks, shoes and cables, and she was sometimes forced to join in with the abuse because she would be beaten if she refused. She was also forced to stand guard outside his cage in case he tried to get out for food.<ref>[https://www.bing.com/search?pglt=41&q=mauricio+torres+daughter&cvid=dea749309ade4d24947c7d9a19afd401&aqs=edge..69i57j0l8.5372j0j1&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=HCTS At murder trial, girl testifies of brother's abuse by parents], The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette</ref> Mauricio apparently pulled his teeth out with pliers.<ref>[https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/feb/15/mauricio-torres-gets-emotional-as-his-testimony/ Mauricio Torres gets emotional as his testimony from 2020 trial is read in court], Arkansas Online</ref>

In 2015, the two of them were finally arrested after Mauricio killed Isiah by sodomizing him with a stick after he ate a piece of cake without permission.

On appeal, he got a mistrial declared and was ordered to stand trial again, charged with capital murder and battery. He was convicted for a second time in March 2020, but before he could be sentenced one of the witnesses lunged towards him in an apparent attempt to assault him. As a result, a mistrial was declared and he was granted a third trial,<ref>[https://www.bing.com/search?q=mauricio+torres+conviction+overturned&cvid=0466fdd80b8b4afa9ee3352f2e216690&aqs=edge..69i57j0l8.8344j0j4&FORM=ANAB01&PC=HCTS Father, 50, who's been found guilty twice of raping his son, 6, to death with a stick will face a third trial after one conviction was overturned and second case ended in mistrial], The Daily Mail</ref> which was delayed until 2023.
