A Nevada couple was arrested after police were called to their home and found their 11-year-old child 'being contained within a large metal enclosure,' authorties said Wednesday. Misty Scanlan, 46, and Jeffery Scanlan,41, were taken into custody and each booked on one count of child abuse and neglect, the Henderson Police Deaprtment said in a statement. The arrest came after police arrived at the Scanlan home around 10:15 a.m.
It took the father 40 minutes to open the door for police when they arrived, KLAS reported, and once inside, the officers found an 11-year-old boy in a large enclosure with metal bars and locked doors,'similar to a jail cell,' according to the report. The boy, who was wearing a diaper and had feces smeared throughout the enclosure had 'severe Autism spectrum disorder,' the father told police, and the cage was allegedly used to control his outbursts.
