Never seen anything like this, sheriff says of 3-year-old kept in small plywood box

A 3-year-old Indiana girl was left in a locked plywood box for extended periods of time, according to police in Pulaski County.

The girl was found inside the box in the early hours of Dec. 14, according to a press release from the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department, which obtained a search warrant for the home after receiving information about child abuse.

Nine adults now face charges for the incident, including three adults who have been charged with felony neglect of a dependent, according to WSBT. Six adults were charged with failure to report child abuse.

The child’s father, 25-year-old Christopher Short, is one of the people charged with a felony, according to WNDU.

Mere juxtaposition of genitalia is not a sufficient qualification.

Interesting that 2 very crucial jobs, being parents and being president, have very minimal standards.
