AOL has posted a story that occurred in North Platte, Nebraska regarding four children that were removed from a trailer home where a 3 year old and 5 year old were kept in a wire dog kennel. When officers arrived at the trailer home there was a stench of urine and found trash and animal feces throughout the trailer. There was a small child's mattress in the dog kennel and the door to the kennel was wired shut. The mother claims she put them in there at night to sleep to keep them from climbing out of her trailer through a window in the middle of the night. All the adults living in the trailer were arrested and charged with first-degree false imprisonment, felony child abuse and misdemeanor child abuse, based on the condition of the house. The kids are now in state custody.
This story makes me very angry. I am sympathetic toward the children who didn't know any better and probably miss their mother who mistreated them.
I don't understand how anyone could treat another human being this way, let alone their own children. To make them sleep in a dog kennel is terrible, then on top of that, the mother would wire the door shut so they couldn't get out. I don't even make my dogs sleep in their kennel because I feel bad for them and I certainly don't wire the door shut if they do have to go in there. Those poor children were also subjected to live in filth. Who leaves animal feces and trash all over their house? It's sad to say but maybe they were safer in the kennel where they were running around in the animal feces.
I hope the adults involved in this case are severely punished for they irresponsible actions.
