Child Locked In Room Starving | Tucson News

A severely malnourished and dehydrated autistic girl, found weighing just 78 pounds after climbing out of her locked bedroom window, has led to shocking charges against her guardians, Brandon and Emily Myers — accused of child endangerment causing injury. Police discovered the child’s room had no food or water, only a urine-filled tote, and was dangerously warm, while the couple admitted locking her in nightly, denying her sustenance and forcing her to use a tub for waste. The child reportedly scavenged food from the kitchen and hid in a van to eat. Both parents are now jailed without bail as the case unfolds with a preliminary hearing set for Wednesday.
