2 parents in Missouri are facing child abuse charges after authorities say their 12-year-old son escaped from their home and told police his father had been handcuffing him to his bed every night for months.
“There is nothing a child could ever do to justify this," Warren County Sheriff Kevin Harrison told KSDK."It breaks my heart because this child is being handcuffed in his own home, and he's being not just abused, but tortured by his parents."
Detectives who searched the parents' house before they were arrested found the handcuffs attached to the bed just like the boy had described, Harrison told KSDK.
