Wisconsin couple are accused of locking their 13-year-old daughter in a cold basement with no toilet or sink, forcing her to wear diapers and refusing to allow her to sit on furniture in the family home, according to criminal charges filed this week.
The 41-year-old woman and 47-year-old man — the girl's mother and stepfather — are each charged with one count of child neglect. Court records say the girl continually showed up at school with dried feces on her, and that the stepfather said he was disgusted with the girl and called her "Stink."
He also refused to let her use the family bathroom or furniture, the complaint said.
According to the complaint, school personnel told authorities the child has low-level autism and some cognitive disabilities. The girl came to school in December with soiled pants, dried stool in her hair, and stool coming out of the sleeves, bottom and neck of her shirt. The school contacted the girl's mother, but the girl repeatedly came to school with dried stool in a diaper or sometimes on her clothing.
The complaint said the girl "goes to school covered in feces, for which she gets made fun of."
WITI-TV reports the girl has been removed from the home in Brookfield, just west of Milwaukee.
