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.
