A third person wanted in a San Antonio child abuse case in which one toddler was chained to the ground and another tied to a door with a dog leash has surrendered to authorities.
Bexar (bayr) County Sheriff's spokesman James Keith says 36-year-old Deandre Dorch surrendered to deputies at the county jail late Tuesday. He's charged with two counts of serious bodily injury to a child by omission.
Keith said Wednesday that Dorch is the father of several of the eight children found alone at the home about two weeks ago. Six were inside.
