Victor Prado, 45, was supposed to be watching the boy, 4, and girl, 3, while their mother went to work. Instead, he made their lives a living hell with severe abuse.

A Houston business owner who "tortured two little kids," ages 3 and 4, over and over is going to prison. A judge handed Victor Prado, 45, two life sentences after jurors convicted him in a horrifying case of child abuse.

The children's mother, 34-year-old Elizabeth Ramirez, is also charged with two counts of injury to a child. According to court documents, Ramirez struck, beat and starved her son and didn't protect him from Prado.

A daycare teacher told police that she notified CPS in 2019 after the children confided to her that their mother and "Daddy Vic" hurt them and told them to say the injuries happened when they fell. The boy told her that Prado had also choked him, according to the teacher.

HPD later interviewed the boy who told them that he "did not eat at mommy's house" and he "was scared of daddy."
According to court documents, Ramirez used latex filler and concealer on the boy's wrists to try and cover the ligature marks.

Ramirez is expected back in court in September. Her trial date hasn't been set.
