This is a very sad situation, Authorities responded to a call about a female child possibly in distress. What they found was shocking, a child locked in a dark shed in almost 100 degree weather with no food or water. The deputies did a really fantastic job getting the child out and making her feel comfortable, also making sure she got the medical attention she needed. The child was diagnosed with pneumonia. The shed was locked with a padlock, the deputies had to remove siding from the structure to get inside. Both the 56 year old step-father and 33 year old mother were immediately arrested when they returned to their property. The parents admitted to locking the child in the shed as punishment, the shed had no plumbing or electricity other than a pressure tank for the home’s water system. The step-father was hit with numerous felonies and the mother was charged for not taking effective steps to free the daughter. They also have another child, both kids have been put into protective custody and the parents remain in jail with no bond. *Suspects should always be considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. 00:01 News Clip 00:21 First Officer Arrives 00:50 Kid located 05:05 Kid is rescued 09:23 Mom arrives home 11:09 Step-father arrives home
