Inside Sydney’s house of horrors where 14 children were allegedly beaten, abused and locked in squalor – as details are revealed of the parents’ backstories

EXCLUSIVE: Shocking Allegations of Child Abuse Unveiled in Sydney

An Australian-born mother and her migrant husband, who once portrayed themselves as ‘the perfect family,’ now face startling allegations of abusing their 14 children. The New South Wales (NSW) Police have disclosed shocking details of the abuse that transpired in a squalid residence, situated on an otherwise peaceful suburban Sydney street.

House of Horrors

The alleged abuse took place within the confines of a grimy, two-story brick house, now left in a state of abandonment and disrepair. Both parents have recently been charged with a total of 60 offenses, encompassing a range of disturbing allegations, including physical assaults, indecent assaults on children under 16, unlawful detainment, and psychological abuse. Additionally, they face charges of sexual offenses against children under 10.

Unthinkable Conditions

The accused mother, aged 44, also faces charges of damaging the residence where the alleged abuse occurred, concealing child abuse, and failing to report it to the authorities. Neighbors have now spoken out, shedding light on the enigmatic family.

A Troubled Past

The father, aged 56, is a migrant who fled his Arabic-speaking home country due to refusing military service, a crime that once carried a death sentence. After serving time in a detention center, he gained permanent residency and married an Australian woman who converted to Islam. Allegedly, they subjected their children to atrocious living conditions within the Sydney home.

Neighbor Accounts

Neighbors recall the father as a helpful individual who repaired appliances to make ends meet. However, he was defensive when questioned about his children’s absence from school. One resident stated, “I knew there were 13 or 14 kids in there; we never saw or heard them.”

A Dark Secret

The windows of the house remained covered, and the children rarely ventured outside. Some of them occasionally waved from a balcony. Inside the fortified home, they lived with chickens, a sheep, and rabbits – an idyllic facade maintained by their father.

The alleged offenses occurred at six different locations between 2010 and 2022, but most charges are connected to the ‘house of horrors.’ A real estate agent revealed that the family was eventually evicted, and the property suffered extensive damage.

A Disturbing Discrepancy

While facing grave allegations, the father was seen by neighbors as a friendly and generous man. It was only after two of the eldest daughters secretly recorded video evidence of the abuse and alerted the authorities that the children were removed from their parents’ custody.

The charged parents now await their fate in court, with prosecutors indicating that some charges may be dropped. The case will continue to unfold in the legal system.
