An emaciated man was rescued from inside a burning home where he had allegedly been locked up by his stepmom for 20 years. The 32-year-old was carried to safety from the flaming building by firemen in Waterbury, Connecticut. Police said the man deliberately started the fire as a means of escape from the 8-foot-by-9-foot room he had allegedly been shut in since he was in the fourth grade. His stepmom has been accused of inflicting 'prolonged abuse, starvation, severe neglect, and inhumane treatment' on the man, with prosecutors saying he was 'akin to a survivor of Auschwitz's death camp' at the time he was rescued.
