Couple is accused of keeping their 5-year-old sons in makeshift cages
By BETH DeFALCO
Associated Press
PHOENIX -- A couple were arrested on child abuse charges for allegedly
keeping their 5-year-old twin sons locked in filthy makeshift cages for
nearly 20 hours a day.
Police found the boys Saturday after an adult older brother told an
off-duty
officer at a grocery store about the squalid living conditions.
When police arrived at the home they found the children inside two cribs
that had been wired together and sealed by plastic crates. Roaches
filled
the cages, which contained a blanket and small mattress stained with
faeces
and urine.
Louis and Etelvina Rodriguez of Phoenix were arrested on suspicion of
child
abuse and kidnapping.
The twins, who police said appeared to be healthy and well-fed, were
placed
in state custody, as was their 8-year-old brother, who neighbours said
enjoyed more freedom.
This particular comment bothered me. "Appeared to be healthy and
well-fed" and in a cage filled with roaches and human waste...it
doesn't compute to me.
The children were obese because the cages were so small they couldn't get
any exercise and the parents had fed them junk food. In some people's mind
fat = well fed.
"They were happy to see us and opened their arms wide, reaching out to
be
held and picked up," police Sgt. Jacqui MacConnell said.
No kidding - if I was in a prison cell for 20 hours a day, I'd be damn
happy to be picked up and held too.

One can only hope that these "good Xian parents" get what's coming to
them.
