Child Locked In Closet For Over A Year

Baack · Feb 2, 2010

BROWNSVILLE - Police say the parents of a 12 year-old girl forced her to live locked in a closet with no light and minimal contact with the outside world. Police say no one had a clue about the abuse, not neighbors or school officials, until the girl's brother spoke up. When police went to the family's home on the 400 block of Jo Ann Lane, they found the girl locked inside the closet.

CHANNEL 5 NEWS has video and pictures of the space were the girl was confined. She was allegedly only let out so she could go to school, eat, or use the bathroom during the day. The bucket in the space was her bathroom at night. Police say she was forced to clean it every morning.

We told neighbor Cynthia Santiago about the way the girl was forced to live. She knew something wasn't right when she saw police last week. "I just saw cops taking pictures and detectives. I don't know. That's a shock!"

Police say this was torture endured by the child for more than a year. The landlord tells us she didn't suspect any problems. She let us inside. Police say the room the girl was living in had no electricity and she would use the light coming through the cracks to do her homework."

Too bad people in the area can't take care of this and leave the police out of it.
