Details of an abusive, dirty and neglected Kingston home surfaced Tuesday as transcripts of the testimony of two of polygamist John Daniel Kingston's teenage daughters were released.

According to testimony from his 13-year-old daughter, Kingston beat her, her mother and her siblings and forced his children to eat rotten food he dug out of the garbage, drink rotten milk and worse.

"He's . . . let them throw up and (made) them drink it," the girl said. "Arrest my dad and have him be in jail forever, or else do to him what he's done to us."

Kingston was in 3rd District Court on Tuesday with one of his wives, Heidi Foster, for a third day of child abuse and neglect hearings. The next hearing is scheduled for June 3.

In her testimony, the 13-year-old alleges that when she was just 4 or 5, Kingston hit her in the face for neglecting to say "hi" to his mother. And on one occasion, Kingston hit his children one at a time with a 2-by-4, the girl said.

According to testimony, Kingston once grabbed a 5-year-old son by the hair and slapped the boy for scratching the family's van. When asked what happened to the boy's face, the girl responded, "(It) got bruised for a while."

On another occasion, the 13-year-old testified, Kingston slapped her sister, resulting in a bloody nose and a blood-smeared face.

Kingston allegedly dragged Foster, who was pregnant, down a set of stairs by her hair, according to the 13-year-old. When confronted about the incident in February, the girl said Kingston told her, "Oh, are you sure it wasn't a dream?" The girl later testified she had seen Kingston hit Foster with an open hand.

The girl also testified Kingston regularly slaps children when they are crying, saying, "Quit crying or I'm going to do it again."

In a complaint filed by the Guardian ad Litem's Office, the state alleges Kingston abused his two teens and that Foster failed to protect the girls from that abuse.

After the Deseret Morning News requested transcripts of 13 hours of testimony of Kingston's two daughters, ages 15 and 13, they were made available to media outlets Tuesday. The transcripts describe several instances of alleged abuse and neglect within the Kingston home.

Both Kingston and his attorney, Daniel Irvin, claim the Guardian ad Litem's Office (GAL) is using the case as "a fishing expedition" for information about Kingston's polygamous clan.

"This is more of a case of who, not what, happened," Irvin said.

Kingston agreed, adding that the Guardian ad Litem's Office is not interested in protecting the welfare of his two teenage daughters.

"The GAL has turned this into a witch hunt because of who is involved," Kingston said. "Their focus has been on trying to bring in allegations of polygamy rather than prove abuse."
