Parents accused of locking teens in basement
ANKENY (AP) — A suburban Des Moines couple is under arrest after their adopted teenage children reported being locked in the basement and fed under a locked door as punishment.
The 45-year-old father and 44-year-old mother are charged with false imprisonment and neglect or abandonment of a dependent person.
The Iowa Human Services Department says it removed the 13-year-old girl and 14-year-old boy from the home in Ankeny after one of them told a school employee about their confinement.
