SAN ANTONIO — The Bexar County Sheriff's Office has made several arrests after finding multiple children in deplorable conditions at a home in the northeast San Antonio area.
Neighbors near a home in the 8100 block of Chipping called officials after they heard a child crying in the backyard for 'a long period of time' around 11:45 p.m.
When deputies arrived, they found two unsupervised toddlers in the backyard. One of the toddlers was chained to the ground, said deputies. The other toddler was tied to a door with a dog leash.
Deputies freed both of the toddlers and immediately transported them to Christus Santa Rosa Children’s Hospital where they 'are currently being treated for a variety of issues.
Deputies said they found six more children inside of the home ranging in age from 10 months to 13 years old. None of the children were under adult supervision.
The parents of the six children inside of the home returned early Friday morning and were taken into custody. Investigators were working to locate the parents of the two children found in the back yard.
Charges are pending.
