9-Year-Old Boy Found By Cops Locked In Dog Cage Outside Of His Home -- Says He Was Living There For MONTHS!
perezhilton.com[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] This is heartbreaking and horrific. Three people have been charged with multiple counts of neglect and abuse after a nine-year-old boy was found locked inside a dog cage — where he had been living for months.
According to WBTW News 13, an anonymous neighbor called 911 shortly before 7:00 a.m. on October 19 to report seeing a young boy inside a dog kennel overnight at home in Lexington, North Carolina.
Temperatures were below freezing. The person also mentioned her husband had given food to the child “in the past.” When deputies in Davidson County arrived at the scene, Fox8 reported they found the kid in nothing but a t-shirt and jeans and locked inside the locked cage, which was secured by a combination lock, outside the house.
He did not even have shoes on at the time. It was also so cold outside that there was frost on the ground, and police said the boy was shivering to the point where he could not speak until he was warmed up, WBTV reported.
