Sounds like a couple solid citizens and the female is a supervisor with the Union County Department of Social Services to boot.

A deputy was responding to an animal services complaint at a neighboring home Friday when he walked up to Harper’s and Larson’s residence and saw a “10-12-year-old child secured to the front porch at the ankle, by what appeared to be a pair of handcuffs,” officials said. “The child also had a dead chicken hanging around his neck and appeared to be shivering,” the Sheriff’s Office said.

The child handcuffed to the porch is the 11-year-old Harper and Larson had been fostering, authorities said. The children are now in custody of an undisclosed social services agency outside Union County.

Harper and Larson have both been charged with intentional child abuse inflicting serious injury, false imprisonment and cruelty to animals, authorities said.

  That's pretty messed up

I find absolutely nothing wrong with this. I am  getting tired of political and cival correctness.

By not torturing our children they have turned into a different
Animal. 

I am certain they have a perfectly good explanation:

1- "We couldn't find an albatross"
2- "When we used a live chicken,  darn thing made too much noise"
3- " If we don't use handcuffs the kids run away"

etc.
