KENTUCKY GOES GREEN: Renewable Energy Initiative Launches
The two-year-old boy was found by police ‘unclothed and locked behind a wooden and metal enclosure that was secured with a padlock’ in northern Kentucky on Monday, according to the Carrollton Police Department.
The grim discovery led to the arrests of five people who are all being charged with first-degree child abuse and wanton endangerment
Brenda Chilton, 71, William Mahoney, 72, Codey Johnson, 29, Tammy Simmons, 52, and Shelby Turocy, 28, are all currently being held in the Carroll County Jail.
Police arrived to 700 block of 7th Street in Carrollton on Monday in response to a prior tip from a delivery driver who made a stop at the home, WDRB reported.
A 2-year-old boy was found unclothed and locked inside a cage surrounded by human urine and feces inside a Carrollton, Kentucky, home on Monday afternoon
An image of the house shows worn white wooden panels with a grey roof and a red garage beside it. Detective Dave Roberts of the Carrollton Police Department confirmed the address with the DailyMail.com.
The whistleblower claimed that a young child was being ‘caged like an animal’ inside the home, The Mirror reported.
A search warrant led officers further into the home and directly to the grisly scene – a naked toddler locked inside a cage surrounded by human urine and feces, which was reportedly all over the room he was being held in.
Jeremiah Reed, a neighbor, recalled hearing police telling the residents, ‘You’re under arrest for child endangerment,’ WDRB reported.
Two young children, including the two-year-old boy, were removed from the home by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services and are now under the care of another family member.
Eight to ten dogs were also found inside the home – all of which were in poor health.
‘There were, like, five or six dogs in one cage over there,’ Reed added.
