The Bad Dad

Scott Bass, 31, from Phoenix was sentenced for 15 years Wednesday in prison for locking his his 14-year-old daughter in a bathroom for months. The girl was barely fed her and forced her to exercise until exhaustion

In January 2010, Bass' daughter escaped from the bathroom she'd been locked in for more than two months by crawling through a linen closet, climbing into an attic crawl space, kicking out a loose board, and running out the back door. The girl then rode a bike to a coffee shop, where employees called police. 

When police raided the house, they found a bucket full of urine, a blanket, and some empty cans of food in the bathroom.

Polic esays that the father and the step mother would often beat the girl with belts and metal rods, and pulled her up by her hair if she stopped exercising. The girl was being punished for stealing food.
