Child Found in Dog Kennel After Abuse Report | St. Louis News
Description
A chilling discovery on East Pool Street in Joplin has sent shockwaves through the community: a missing child with special needs was found wearing only a diaper, having been locked in a dog kennel for days. Inside the home, officers uncovered a nightmare scene — 80 animals in horrific conditions, feces and urine everywhere, and piles of dirty clothes. Police Chief Dr. Richard Pearson called it one of the worst child abuse cases he’s ever seen. Four family members — the child’s parents and two sisters — have been arrested. Prosecutors are now seeking charges for both child and animal abuse, and the entire animal population was surrendered to the Humane Society.
