Boy Found Handcuffed with Dead Chicken Around Neck; Foster Parents Arrested

Source: MCT Information Services

The 11-year-old boy found handcuffed to a porch with a dead chicken around his neck Friday appears to have been routinely handcuffed to a piece of steel inside the Union County, North Carolina home, the county Sheriff's Office said Sunday.

Capt. Cody Luke confirmed Sunday night that Sheriff Eddie Cathey also said feces were found on the floor of the Austin Road house: "The smell would take your breath," Cathey said, calling it "terrible."

Two neighbors on Sunday also described interactions with a boy they believed to be from that home, who approached their houses and begged for food.

Steve Mills said the land he and his wife live on abuts that of the boy's foster parents, Dorian Harper and Wanda Larson, who have been charged with intentional child abuse inflicting serious injury, false imprisonment and animal cruelty.

It takes a special type of two-legged thinking animal to do that to their children

This woman is a SUPERVISOR for Union County, NC child protective services. I wonder what else they have to date gotten away with because of that fact. How appalling. And maybe I'm dense, but does anyone have a clue about the dead chicken? I don't get that one.

With some very funny comments. It's such a good thing those kids were all taken out of that situation.
