11 Year Old Autistic Boy kept in Dog Cage

[Zeller]

An Anaheim couple are facing felony charges of child endangerment for allegedly locking their 11-year-old son in a metal cage, police said.

Police officers arrived at the home of Loy Vu, 40, and Trang Le, 35, after receiving a tip and discovered a large cage with a mattress and other items.

The Vietnamese couple, who speak broken English, were arrested on suspicion of felony child endangerment and false imprisonment.

"There are some signs that someone had been living there, including a mattress," said Anaheim Police Lt. Bob Dunn.

The cage measured about 6 feet tall and 4 1/2 feet wide.

"It was enough for him to be able to stand up in if, in fact, he was living in that cage," Dunn said.

Loi Vu, 40, (left) and Tracy Trang Le, 35, were booked on suspicion of felony child endangerment and false imprisonment.

Despite the shocking discovery, the boy himself was found to be otherwise healthy and well-bathed, police said. His siblings a boy and a girl, aged 10 and eight, respectively were also reported to be in good physical condition.

Nevertheless, the children were taken to a local hospital for routine medical tests, police said.

If these allegations are true, it would be eerily ironic for the parents to end up in metal cages; a jail cell.

Those bloody parents, I'm autistic, when there's a really sad story about someone with a disability, it just makes me think ' That could happen to me some day because I have a disability '.... Those bloody people, they should be the ones locked up the bloody big smelly pile of shit.

EDIT: And one of those comments really disgusts me, she/he is saying she feels sorry for the parents! HOW? IS NOW FINE TO LOCK UP AUTISTIC CHILDREN? Fine, lock me up, I'm autistic....
