FLORENCE, Ala. (WAFF) – A foster father will spend more than 2 decades in prison after pleading guilty to physically and sexually abusing children in his care.

Spurgeon pleaded guilty to 11 counts of aggravated child abuse, two counts of rape of a child younger than 12, and one count of sexual torture in July.

Victims spoke about the abuse that came at the hands of Daniel Spurgeon before he was sentenced, saying Spurgeon home schooled them to keep them separated from society. One victim described being kept in a locked room where they were sexually abused and left without food. Victims also said Spurgeon would drug them before sexual abuse.
Spurgeon’s wife, Jenise, is set for trial in October.

This guy (Daniel Spurgeon) should get the death penalty. The end. How dare him torture innocent children. the Father has concern for all of His “little ones” (Matthew 18:1–14). In that passage, Jesus says, “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea” (Matthew 18:6, KJV). The word offend in the Greek means “to cause one to stumble, to put a stumbling block or impediment in the way, upon which another may trip and fall, to entice to sin, or to cause a person to begin to distrust and desert one whom he ought to trust and obey.”
