An 18-year-old girl has been found by Las Vegas Police after allegedly being locked in her bedroom by her mother and grandmother for over a year, authorities said.
The neighbor later told police that she heard noises coming from the backyard and saw the girl, who then asked her for food and water and said her parents had locked her in her bedroom, KBLR-TV reported.
The report states the girl told the neighbor that her bedroom had only one sheet, and two empty dressers and she would only get food and water at night when her mother came back from work. Inside the room, police wrote in the report that they saw"a box spring and bed frame," as well as a bucket that was"half full of what appeared to be urine and fecal matter."The girl told the neighbor that she was able to escape by tying her clothes and leaving through the second-story window, according to the police report.
Police later arrested Addy Gonzales, the teen's mother, Maria Pasarin, the teen's grandmother, and Daniel Omezcua and charged them with false imprisonment and child abuse. Their next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 21.
