Old mattresses, rubble and bricks, as well as pet food, were found inside."The house also had a room in the worst of human conditions where the woman and son spent the hours of the night," locked up as well, he said.Oviedo was arrested Friday and brought before a judge on Saturday. He declined to make a statement. Pellegrini said he would undergo psychiatric evaluation.Pellegrini said that several other children lived nearby but did not denounce the situation for fear of their father. -- (c) Associated Press 2015-09-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
