Last March he received a suspended sentence of nine to 15 years after friends and neighbors rallied around the youth and a court psychiatrist testified that Ludwig's was the worst case of abuse he had ever seen. Astonishingly, Ludwig initially denied he had been abused. "Kids are so ashamed," explains Bellevue Psychiatrist Dorothy Otnow Lewis. "They even try to convince outsiders they deserved the beatings."
