Couple Lose Custody Of Son After Chaining Him To Crib

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Southern Minnesota couple who chained their five year old son to his crib have lost their parental rights.

Brian and Charity Miller of rural Dexter spent six months in jail after pleading guilty to chaining their 5-year-old to his crib every night.

The couple was also accused of giving that boy and his 8-year-old brother very little food and keeping both of them from the bathroom.

Now a Mower County judge has ruled those two boys will never live with their parents again.

The boys are now with a foster family.
