The Police in Alabam, US, has arrested a mum, grandmother, and grandfather for allegedly locking children in cages.
Five children including an eight-month-old were removed from a home in Alabama after police say their mother and the children’s grandparents had locked them in wooden “cages” made of cribs with crudely constructed lids.
On Monday, investigators from Lee County Sheriff’s Office conducted a welfare check at a home in Smiths Station, roughly 15 miles from Columbus in eastern Alabama, following reports of a “possible child abuse situation” at the home.
Investigators made contact with four children aged three, four, 10 and 11, and were made aware of an eight-month-old child who also lives at the residence but wasn’t at home.
The investigation revealed, “two wood-constructed cages that had hasps and locks present” and where “children had been locked in the cages on multiple occasions”.
All five children are now in the care of the Lee County Department of Human Resources.
Arrest warrants issued on Wednesday include multiple counts of child abuse and reckless endangerment of a child.
