HUTCHINS, Texas ? A suburban South Dallas couple has been charged with felonies after authorities found the woman's 8-year-old daughter kept in a closet, officials said today.
Hutchins police say the girl was just three feet tall and weighed just 25 pounds. They believe the girl had been kept in the closet for at least four months.
"They showed her a TV monitor, and she didn't know what a TV was. They showed her a picture of a sun, and she said she didn't know what the sun was. She told them she was two years old when they asked her how old she was, so it's very obvious that she's been neglected for awhile," Assistant Police Chief David Landers told Dallas television station WFAA.
Police Chief Gregory Griffin said the girl was found in the filthy 4- by 8-foot closet, wearing soiled clothing. The girl was taken to Children's Medical Center of Dallas for treatment of malnutrition, Griffin said. No identities had been released as of Tuesday.
Authorities say the situation came to light last night when the girl's stepfather told a volunteer firefighter that he was concerned that his wife had been keeping her daughter closeted.
Landers said the girl was alert and in good spirits despite her captivity.
The mother and stepfather have been charged with felony failure to protect a child and injury to a child. The girl and five other children have been removed from the home in Pebble Creek Mobile Home Park and placed in emergency foster custody.
