Shocking new details have emerged in a child abuse case where three Indiana adults are facing a litany of criminal charges, some new, over the death of a 5-year-old girl whose final hours were spent cowering in a corner and whose short life was defined by abuse and squalor.

Kinsleigh Welty, 5, died the day after the Great North American Eclipse, which she did not get to witness because she was allegedly forced to stare at a wall, shamed for purportedly misbehaving while the adults in her life watched the light drain from the sky in early April.

In newly-released court documents, authorities allege the abuse that eventually took her life went on for years and years before that.
