The Only Way to Protect Our Youth Is To SPEAK UP - Lives Will Be Saved

Five children found 'locked in dungeon with cameras to stop them escaping'

Speaking up SAVES LIVES

Parents of five kids who were locked in a "dungeon" bristling with surveillance cameras and locks have been arrested.

The home of James Russell, 65, and Carly Kahl, 41, in Redstone Township, Pennsylvania, was raided after police received complaints of children living in "deplorable conditions". Pennsylvania State Troopers arrived to find the kids, who were aged between five and 14 years old, were confined to a feces-covered room that had its windows boarded up.

Pennsylvania's District Attorney revealed that authorities were informed of the horrific situation after a "brave family member" reported it to ChildLine. "Law enforcement cannot be in every household and every single minute of every day; we need people to come forward and think of these children."

The couple has been charged with endangering children, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, drug charges and use of an incapacitation device.
