Deputies said the adults used duct tape to tie the kids to a chair,
put a towel over their heads and shocked them repeatedly with an
electric battery.

A half dozen Valencia County Sheriff's Deputies converged on
1519 Mario Drive in Los Lunas Friday.
Deputies said that inside the home, four children suffered.

The four children said to be tortured are a 3-year-old,
two 4-year-olds and a 6-year-old.

"These innocent children were treated like livestock,"
Deputy Sheriff Joe Martinez said.

A person familiar with the situation spoke with News 13 under
the condition that we disguise their identity.

"I've actually heard kids screaming, kid actually," the person said.
"I want to see them pay; I want somebody to pay for hurting those
kids."

Deputies caught Anthony Welker at the home early Friday evening.
He is the father of three girls who were in the home.

Welker wouldn't speak to cameras, but he led deputies to a park
where the mother of the girls, Kimberly Galczynski, was arrested.

The man investigators said was the most sadistic suspect,
Gerald Tunnell, not only shocked the children but also beat them with a belt, according to deputies.

Tunnell is not related to any of the children, but his girlfriend
Brenda Mundo is. Mundo is grandmother to the three girls and the guardian of the boy, who the children said, was abused the most.

All four adults are jailed on $1 million cash bonds, and have been
charged with child abuse, kidnapping and conspiracy.

The state has taken the children and put them in a safe place.

After they are convicted,people that torture children
should receive the exact same treatment for the
same amount of time as they put the
child / children though . Then put in with the worst most
violent criminals ever to see the inside of a prison cell.

Unfortuanately we can not do that to them but rest assured the inmate population does not like people that do bad things to children.

Thank you for that info. I could only think how horrible for her to be out and have a new baby to torture.

I understand the Father is getting out of jail on Tuesday

[loving parent]

Hell no where did you hear that.

[Concerned citizen]

Heard he got bailed out by a family member

[Concerned citizen]

Don't know how true it is but would sure like to find out

[loving parent]

These people are poor as anything. I don't think any of them could afford that bail.. I think it is one million.. And the way valincia countey is all over the news with child abuse I don't think they will get out. A couple just got sent to prison the mom get 27 years and the dad got 28 years. And it was not as bad as these fools.

[Concerned citizen]

I hope your right but as faras being poor. One of them owns a house and from what I heard the Grandfather is bailing him out. He could also own a house to put up for Bail. Also at the last hearing the Bail was reduced. No matter how bad they are you can't keep them in if somebody comes up with Bail money.

[loving parent]

I hope it is not true. What if he finds where the kids are and hurts them. He is one sick person. You never know what he will do. I thought the grandfather was in jail with him. And where did you hear he was getting out of jail?

[Concerned citizen]

The man in jail is not the Grandfather. He is just the boyfriend of the Grandmother. I am talking about the Grandfather of the 22 yer old. He lives in Missouri or someplace out there. I heard it from a relative of the family. The kids are in foster care or were the last I heard. Anyhow I don't think he would be smart enough to find them. If he is he was smart enough he would know that finding them would revoke his bail and he would go back to jail and probably never get out. The children are more than likely safe. I would worry more about new victims. People like this should not be allowed on the streets. But I find more and more that justice in New Mexico is more for the bad guy than the good guy. I knew these people and they are crazy.

[loving parent]

So has anyone heard anything about what is going on with this case? Are they still in jail? I hope so.
