Finally arrested in 2013, this thirty-nine year old abused her teenage stepsons beyond belief. The boys stated in court that she would beat them with rolling pins and mallets, burn them with cigarettes, handcuff them, torture them and force them to bath naked in bathtubs full of ice cubes and cold water.

8) Danielle Miller
This stepmother could come straight out of Cinderella.

9) Melinda Drabek-Chritton
This stepmother’s abuse is terrifying. When her teenage stepdaughter finally escaped, she reported that Melinda had kept her confined to the basement, and installed an alarm and motion sensor to keep her from escaping. She was sexually assaulted, beaten, denied food and forced to eat her own feces.
