The child told police that Guerrero Santos was religious and had called him the “chosen one,” often testing him with complex tasks, such as throwing him out onto the street.

Police tracked the couple’s cellphones to an address in Wauchula, about 60 miles north of North Port, where they were detained along with the second child.
