Couple accused of keeping grandson in closet
Authorities have charged an Arizona couple with keeping their 9-year-old grandson confined in a rank closet.
The boy didn’t attend school, can’t read or write and weighed only 48 pounds, Deputy Dawn Hanke said.
The boy and his 8-year-old brother are in protective custody.
50-year-old Becky Lee Tortellet and 52-year-old Larry Alan Tortellet were jailed on $50,000 bond each.
Deputies learned of the alleged abuse when she brought her older grandson to a behavior center and officials there became concerned after he told them he lived in his grandmother’s closet, Hanke said.
