Quote:LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Investigators say a Georgia man took his stepson and put him on a bus for California. The teen was spotted by a security guard at the downtown Greyhound bus station.
It was last Tuesday at the downtown bus station that security guard Joe Gonzalez first noticed Mitch Comer, 18, looking like lost and scared 12-year-old. Alarmed by the teen's frail appearance and the story he told, Gonzalez, a retired police sergeant, notified the LAPD.
"The story we got was that the stepfather took the kid to the bus depot, said 'Here's $200, here's a list of the homeless shelters in Los Angeles, you're a man now and don't come back,'" said LAPD Commander Andrew Smith.
The teen told police he had been held captive by his parents, Paul and Sheila Comer, for four years after being taken out of school in the 8th grade. The Comers are now in custody after being arrested at their home in Dallas, an upscale Georgia suburb. They're facing child abuse and false imprisonment charges, and their two younger daughters were removed from the home.
"The sisters that were inside the house apparently didn't even know what color hair this kid had because they hadn't seen him in a couple years because he'd been locked in that bedroom for several years," said Smith.
"He weighed 97 pounds, he's 5 foot 3. The LAPD officer said that his skin was translucent, that he was obviously malnourished," said Georgia's Paulding County District Attorney plantain Donovan.
Donovan says the 18-year-old told police that the stepfather, Paul Comer, drove the teen to a bus stop in Mississippi on his 18th birthday. The teen spent a day at Exodus Recovery Center in L.A. and nearly a week in a local group home before Georgia authorities flew him back home.
Mitch Comer didn't know what city he had come from and didn't know his own address. His parents were tracked down through their in-home business.

Some people don't deserve to be parents. How could anybody do this to their own flesh and blood?

I seriously don't understand how anyone could do that to their own kid. It's sick.

The Father looks psychotic, the mother looks like...I don't know, and they let the sisters live a normal life? Where did the first father go?

Crackhead mother with a stepfather. There has to be some reason why they locked him up like this, I mean it's not like harry potter. I'm really curious of what the child could have done to feel like the parents were justified to do this.

probably fear, and not knowing any better, being raised in isolation (if being raised at all) for over 4 years

Disgusting. That is the lowest of the low.

I would've gone crazy if I was him. Doing nothing for 15 minutes bores me, I can't imagine 4 years. People like his parents shouldn't be allowed to breed.

I feel like this is a gender issue; the two sisters were raised normally (Presumably. Barring that, they were raised, period.) while only the male child was locked up.
Can't wait to hear the explanation for this.

The article says the man is his stepfather, I'm guessing the poor boy became the unfavourite when his mother remarried.

I mean they didn't even know what color was his hair.

What the pineapple, how can people do this? This is incredibly low and cruel. Whatever comes to the parents definitely deserve what they get or possibly deserve even more punishment than they get.

Holy s'hit. The states are: Arizona, Idaho, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Dakota and South Dakota. I am from New Jersey, but I've never heard of anyone abusing this or even using it. God dam this country.
Btw guys, stop quoting the same gif over and over to express your astonishment. We get it, what occured to that kid is f'ucked up, but you don't need to quote the same gif over and over. If you like it that much, just +1 it. Jeez.
