I live in the surrounding area of where this happened and this simply disgusts me. How can people treat their children like this?? Who gives a crap if the children are autistic, that doesn't give the parents a right to lock them in their rooms. It's NOT the childrens fault, they didn't ask to be here the PARENTS chose to have them. I'm so sick and tired of reading stories like this. IF YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE KIDS THEN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM!! I hope that these pieces of **** are given the max sentence possible. This is exactly why some people shouldn't even be allowed to have kids!!!
