Closet boy

A FLORIDA couple locked up an extremely malnourished boy inside a closet as punishment for stealing food they were keeping from him, according to a police report. The 12-year-old boy -- weighing just 18 kilograms -- also had been strapped to a bed or locked in a bathroom for days or weeks at a time over the past year, the police report said. He was treated at a hospital for malnutrition and dehydration. Jail records show Michael Marshall, 38, and Sharon Glass, 48, have been charged with three counts of aggravated child abuse. Both are being held without bond.
