Mary Hall (Pike County Jail).

A Kentucky woman is behind bars after a boy under her care “showed signs of torture” when he suffered a broken nose and chipped teeth while he had been missing from school since the Christmas break, cops said.

Mary Hall, 42, is facing charges of first-degree child abuse, kidnapping with serious physical injury and first-degree assault, Pike County jail records show. According to a criminal complaint obtained by eastern Kentucky CBS affiliate WYMT and Mountain Top Media, the boy came to school for the first time since Christmas break on Tuesday. After school officials saw the injuries, they alerted cops who started investigating.

The boy reportedly told cops he was riding his bike and carrying wood but would not go into specifics.

“Mary was asked about his nose and teeth. She stated that they’ve been packing wood and has been out playing. She said he could have done it in his sleep,” the complaint reportedly said.

But there were other signs of abuse. Cops reportedly noted that he appeared to be malnourished. The boy told officers he “gorges himself when he eats at school.”

“Today, he gorged himself until he got sick and vomited,” the complaint reportedly said.
