Two arrested in Texas after children found tied up in yard

SAN ANTONIO | BY JIM FORSYTH

Two adults have been taken into custody in the San Antonio area for suspected child abuse that included chaining a 2-year-old child to the ground and putting another on a leash tied to a door, officials said on Friday.

Deputies arrived at a home late on Thursday after receiving complaints from neighbors about children crying in the yard, the Bexar County Sheriff's office said.

A total of eight children were at the residence but sheriff's office spokesman James Keith said there were no adults present when deputies arrived.

The two adults, later taken into custody and not yet named, are thought to be parents to several of the children. The two children bound in the backyard of the home were children of an acquaintance of the adults, the sheriff's office said.

1. Why do these family friendly stories always come form Texas or Florida?

I think since we got the Duggars under control (for the moment) at least Arkansas isn't showing up.
