A Hawaii judge has ruled that both suspects in a child torture and kidnapping case will stay in jail without bail.

• The victim's mother, Jasmine Kiros Pele, is charged with torture and kidnapping; stepfather James Heffernan is charged with being an accomplice to both crimes.
• The judge rejected the bail request even though both defendants have no prior arrests or convictions, since the case rests heavily on one witness.
• Authorities say the child ran away from the family's Waianae home and hid under a neighbor's house until police arrived.
• The child reported years of abuse, including being stabbed, punched, and attacked by family dogs.

Outlook: Both suspects remain jailed as the case moves toward trial.
