Officials said the children’s mother would often lock the little boy inside the dog cage when she left the home.
The children’s grandmother, who is in a wheelchair, and uncle, who is disabled, were also home when police arrived.“It just boggles my mind that they put their kids in cages,” said Hector Perez, who saw the little girls outside in the alley and immediately called 911.
“They have Pampers on. They have no shirts. They have no pants, no shoes. They’re screaming. It’s raining. It’s cold.” He said. He’s one of several neighbors who say they’ve seen state Department of Human Services officials at the home several times.Perez said while he’s always tried to look out for the kids, he had no idea it was this bad.
“I knew something was going on, but you tell me he’s putting kids in a cage? Hell no, hell no, I can never imagine that,” he said. The children were taken to a hospital and appear to be physically OK. They remain in protective custody.
