Two children were found locked inside a barn in West Virginia without any running water or bathroom facilities and their adoptive parents are now facing felony child neglect charges, the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office says.

Two children were found locked inside a barn in West Virginia without any running water or bathroom facilities and their adoptive parents are now facing felony child neglect charges, the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office says.

An investigation was launched Monday just before 6 p.m. after authorities received a 911 call regarding the welfare of the children, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

A sheriff’s deputy went to the barn in Sissonville and forced her way inside to find a boy and girl in the 20-foot by 14-foot room, the release said.

The children were locked inside without access to water, a bathroom, food or adequate hygienic care items, authorities said. At the main residence, another small child was found locked inside alone, the release stated.

    It’s talking about the children because there’s no break

    The adoptive parents of two children, found locked

    Or

    The adoptive parents of two children were found locked

    Would mean it’s about the parents being locked up.

    But be cause “found locked” comes immediately after “two children” we know the children are the subject.

    English is nutty, most native speakers can’t explain the rules, because we just do it instinctively at this point. It’s a mismatch of a bunch of languages so it’s also a mismatch of different sets of rules.
