Tennessee pair charged with child abuse for locking autistic child in storage bin at unsanitary home
Mikki Dee Moody, 36, and Sean David Moody, 39, were charged with aggravated child abuse and neglect and child endangerment after investigators served a search warrant on their home in an unrelated case.
Investigators arrived at the home and met the two suspects and a child who lives there who investigators learned has autism and is non-verbal.
The TBI took Sean David Moody into custody on a warrant charging him with abuse of a vulnerable adult. Agents and investigators then executed the search warrant on the residence and found unsanitary living conditions.
Information obtained during the initial investigation led to the discovery of a brown colored storage trunk in the living room area," White continued. "The trunk contained urine-soaked blankets, a pillow, half-eaten pizza, and clothing that contained a substance consistent with blood."
Investigators said they learned the child would be locked in the storage trunk with food. Investigators subsequently contacted the Department of Children's Services about what they discovered.
Mikki Dee Moody and Sean David Moody were booked into the Carter County Detention Center. Mikki Dee Moody was released after posting a $75,000 bond

Not that I'm a great fan of Fox News, but it's their content and they are entitled to the traffic, not Microsoft. (I won't use DuckDuckGo because its engine is Bing, and virtually all its news links are hijacked from the actual content owners into MSN wrappers.)

Where was I? Oh yes - to me as an autistic person, the article seems to imply that if the child had been locked in a storage bin in a clean house, it would have been OK.
