September 11 and charged with two counts of felony
and child endangerment after her two young children
were found barefoot, dirty and living in a wooden
shipping crate in an underground cave on the
eastern edge of Kansas City, Missouri.
According to AP, Jackson County detectives
discovered the 4- and 6-year-old children on
Thursday in the 8-by-10-foot crate furnished with
vehicle bench seats, two small blankets, trash and
thin wires. According to the probable cause
statement, the crate was missing one side and
surrounded by car parts and vehicles in various
states of disrepair.
The investigators, who went to the cave to serve a
search warrant related to a possible stolen car
operation, noted that the children did not appear
frightened by them or the fact that they were alone.
The 4-year-old child was using hands to eat a dirty,
dry cup of ramen noodles, a detective wrote. When
asked why they weren't wearing any shoes, the
children responded that they didn't have any.
The older child told officers he should be in first
grade but did not go to school. The children were
taken to Children's Mercy Hospital where they were
evaluated, bathed and given clean clothes.
Their mother told investigators that her children had
been living in the cave for several days and admitted
to have left them there alone. She was taken into
custody on Friday afternoon and is yet to appear in
court.
