Cops: Children locked inside room with no heat, little food
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police and child welfare investigators in Pennsylvania say three emaciated young children were locked inside a room each night with no heat and little food.
A Halifax Township couple have been charged with aggravated assault, false imprisonment and related offenses. Joshua and Brandi Weyant are jailed on $1 million bail.
Pennlive.com (http://bit.ly/2hJSln8 ) reports that a doctor who examined the children after they were brought to the hospital in mid-December says two of them were days away from death due to abuse and neglect had they not received medical care.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police say Brandi Weyant blamed her husband for the abuse. Court documents say Joshua Weyant denied abusing the children, but said he didn't want them "overfed."
