The adoptive parents of an 8-year-old special-needs child were arrested by authorities in Nebraska last week on multiple counts of child abuse.
According to a statement from prosecutors, Stephen Bauer, 37, and his wife, 32-year-old Megan Finlan, withheld food from the boy, who police said was underweight for his age.
Bauer and Finlan are also accused of locking the child in his room for days, where the boy was forced to defecate and urinate on the floor. The boy also had severe bruises and his teeth were in an advanced state of decay.
The husband and wife were both charged with two counts of child abuse after officials at the boy’s school called police.
