Documents allege Spruill\u00a0strangled and poured hot wax on three children under the age of nine.\u00a0 Arrest warrants say Spruill inflicted bruising to their legs and necks and scratches to their arms.<\/p>\n

Neighbor Adan Miranda said he was in the neighborhood Monday night, when he heard something out of the ordinary at the home on Caseybrook Court in Browns Summit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard a little baby scream, \u2018 Help me. Help me. She\u2019s trying to kill us. Oh God,\u2019 and we walked into the dark mobile home, and we see the lady strangling the kids, just suffocating them,\u201d Miranda said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miranda said he and a couple of friends decided to act when they heard the screams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe put two and two together quick and said we better go make sure there are no kids in there, then we heard kids screaming. \u2026 This is the thing about child abuse. You never know if your neighbors are going through it. This is a big wakeup call.\u201d Miranda said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another neighbor, Katie Everett, lives on Caseybrook Court but said she was not home at the time of the incident. She said her family came home to a sheriff\u2019s presence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of a sudden, I see a woman get in the back of the car and the kids get in the EMS, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh no, what happened? Are the kids OK? Did the mom do something?\u2019 \u2026 Because those kids have told me that she does things,\u201d Everett said.\u00a0<\/p>

Everett said sometimes her child would play outside with the kids, but they were not close with the neighbor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce in a while, my youngest would play with them outside, but most of the time, when they would come outside, she would get mad. \u2026 The kids have told me numerous things about her,\u201d Everett said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Court documents also say there is an open Child Protective Services sase. In Spruill\u2019s arrest warrants, deputies report that those children said Spruill called them \u201cdemons,\u201d threatened to kill them and threatened to light them on fire.<\/p>\n

Miranda said that what he saw in the home when he intervened left him without words.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really traumatic to say the least. I don\u2019t want that to take the spotlight away from these kids. They are the real champions of what happened last night. They had to endure so much pain from somebody you want nothing but love from.\u201d<\/p>\n

He hopes the children get the care they need, and he says it\u2019s a message to watch out for others. He hopes everyone takes away to stand up for children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI will say nothing, nothing, no pain of mine compares to the pain of the kids endured and suffered last night, and I feel like that is the main important topic for sure,\u201d Miranda said. \u201cI\u2019m traumatized for sure. I\u2019m still shaken up. I didn\u2019t get no sleep yesterday. But these kids, they were really abused. They were in a sense tortured.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>
