Family Charged With Child Cruelty
A family in Glasgow have been charged with child cruelty after it was suspected they kept two young children caged at their home.
Five family members were arrested, including the grandfather, grandmother and three aunts, after it was reported that a nine-year-old girl in their care, failed to return home from school.
The Crown Office confirmed that a man and four women appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court charged with cruel and unnatural treatment. They made no plea or declaration and were granted bail.
Police visited the house in the Cardonald area of Glasgow while investigating the disappearance of the young girl. They found makeshift cages, made up of converted baby cots, allegedly used to keep the girl and an eight-year-old boy.
A Strathclyde police spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that four women aged 18, 32, 32, and a 52-year-old and a 53-year-old man were arrested and detained in police custody on Friday 17 September in connection with section 12 of the Childrens and Young Persons Act."
