Cruel Farmer Sentenced for Starving Son in Bloomingdale
Edward Cahill, 72, of Bloomingdale, was jailed six months after a Passaic county court found him guilty of extreme cruelty to eight children. Witnesses described the farmer tying his son in a cow barn and starving him, with the son Edward 17 nearly starved and mentally affected. The case drew a large crowd as details of ongoing abuse emerged and Cahill’s age influenced, but did not soften, the sentence.
