A Texas mother has been arrested after being accused of torturing her children, including trying to put her three-year-old daughter in a hot oven.
Lul Top, 36, was arrested after her five children were taken from her custody on January 8 after she beat her husband.
They told investigators at the Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County about the incident and also claimed she cut them with knives when they didn’t get her alcohol.
The girl’s brother, 10, told the investigator that he had to physically fight his mother to keep her from putting the girl in the heated oven. He then took his younger sister upstairs and was forced to hide her.
The incident was also witnessed by a four-year-old sibling, according to the police statement obtained by police local Fox station.

After the children were removed from Tonks’ custody, a SWAT team surrounded her home to arrest her – while she hid in the attic.
After the children filed the claims, police returned to Top’s rental home in the Dallas suburb of Allen with an arrest warrant on six counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

“Come out with your hands up,” the police loudspeaker blared.
Top hid in the attic of the house for an hour and finally came out after “deploying chemical weapons.”

The children said that Top would threaten to kill everyone, causing her little ones to hide cleavers from her.
Three of Top’s children, ages 6, 9 and 10, told investigators that she drank often and ordered them to bring her more booze if she ran out.
The investigator noted that Top’s three- and four-year-old children had scars “that resembled knife cuts.”
Both children said their mother used a knife to cut them.

The woman once held the knife to her son’s tongue and made him drink alcohol, but he spit it out, police documents show.
‘Always strange things there. The police were always there,” a neighbor told FOX 4.
‘Seeing the children playing alone in the back, without supervision. And to know that this actually happened, it’s sad. It’s really sad.’
Police had been called to the home 11 times since Jan. 1, KDFW reported.
Top is currently in the Collin County Jail under a $600,000 bond.
