Carnation couple Jon Pomeroy, 43, and Rebecca Long, 44, were arrested and charged Monday, Oct. 13, on suspicion of severely abusing their 14-year-old daughter. An arraignment is set for Monday, Oct. 27.
The girl reportedly weighed 48 pounds, and parents had allegedly withheld water from her as punishment. According to officers’ reports, the arrest followed an investigation that began last August, when a neighbor called Child Protective Services after hearing screaming coming from their house.
