Iowa parents arrested after 4-year-old disabled child found covered in filth in makeshift cage. Dustin Carl Lee Perry and Lindsey Barbara Marie Hamilton, both aged 26, were taken into custody in Hamburg, Iowa. An investigation found two cages inside the home, where one was made from a pack and play, a baby gate roof, and zip ties. The children were reportedly left in the care of relatives with instructions to keep the disabled boy in a cage. A deplorable incident unfolded when the child managed to escape his confinement and was found outside covered in human and animal feces. Perry and Hamilton face charges of neglect and child endangerment. The children were taken to the hospital for evaluation, while multiple children were removed from the home by the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services. The couple is being held in jail without bond awaiting their court appearance. This appalling case highlights the need for increased awareness and action to protect vulnerable children from abuse and neglect. Local authorities are working to ensure the safety and well-being of all the children involved in this disturbing situation.
