An Alabama mother and her boyfriend were arrested for allegedly torturing her three young children with a blowtorch, according to a report.

Ashleigh Ableman, 27, and her partner, Howard Anderson, 53, were hit with willful abuse of a child charges last week over the disturbing allegations.

The couple has been accused of using a blowtorch to burn Ableman’s children — ages 4, 7, and 9 — as well as carrying out other forms of abuse, investigators said.

“This is a case of obvious torture to these children. We knew immediately that we had to intervene,” Lieutenant Caroline Jackson told WDHN.

Jackson said the children, who are in the custody of the Department of Human Resources, suffered severe burns from the abuse.

The children reportedly told investigators about some of the abuse, according to Jackson.

Ableman and Anderson were arrested after the Dale County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant on their home in Ariton, Alabama.

They are both being held without bond pending the first appearance, the local outlet reported.

Willful abuse of a child is considered a felony in Alabama and holds up to a 10-year sentence and a fine of $15,000.
