Last Monday, police in the US state of Kentucky were alerted after receiving reports from the community that a child was in a "locked area".

"Upon their arrival, Detective Roberts and Sgt. Taylor found an unclothed boy under the age of three locked in a padlocked enclosure made of wood and metal," police explained in a Facebook post.

Brenda Chilton (71), William Mahoney (72), Codey Johnson (29), Tammy Simmons (52) and Shelby Turocy (28) were arrested in connection with the gruesome find. They are charged with criminal abuse and reckless endangerment of a child.

Turocy is also charged with possession of methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and marijuana. Officials added that "after a preliminary investigation, two children were removed from the home by the Department of Health and Family Services."
