NEW: A West Virginia couple smiled in their booking photos after deputies rescued three orphaned children from their home in Evans. Erica Sayre, 45, and Clifford Gale Sayre, 46, are accused of tormenting the three orphans for years. According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, the couple kept the children in a real-life "House of Horrors," where they were repeatedly beaten, strangled, starved, and denied access to a bathroom. Investigators say the couple mocked the children about the deaths of their biological parents and told them they would be killed if they ever reported the abuse. Clifford Sayre reportedly stood by and watched as his wife beat the kids with household objects, causing "excessive bleeding injuries." Whenever the kids pushed back, she allegedly forced them to run barefoot on a gravel driveway and dumped dirty cat litter and dog feces into their beds. One child told deputies that Clifford restrained her hands while Erica "forcibly" cut her "hair with a razor blade, resulting in injury." "Mom hits us and Gale lets her," one child told investigators. "I can't go back to that home," another child pleaded, saying she "just wants a normal life." All three children have been removed from the home, though both suspects have already walked free on bond while facing six felony counts each. Should judges be allowed to grant bond in felony child abuse cases, or should suspects be held until trial?
