The child also told police that sometimes he would get so thirsty that he would drink toilet water.
Police said doctors informed them that the boy had a history of being abused as they found scars all over his body, according to reports.
The 5-year-old and his two siblings, a 6-year-old girl and 3-year-old boy, told the authorities that their father and Allen - whom they called "mom" - would attack them with coat hangers, spatulas, shoes and multiple other objects.
They would also allegedly get choked or punched in the face during the 'whoopins,' according to KOB4.

Both parents were charged with child abuse.
The children are now staying with a foster family, according to reports.
