Authorities in Tennessee have arrested a couple on child abuse charges after a disturbing incident involving the confinement of a 7-year-old autistic child in a storage trunk came to light. Mikki Dee Moody, 36, and Sean David Moody, 39, are facing charges of aggravated child abuse and neglect, as well as child endangerment.
The arrests came after investigators executed a search warrant at the Moody's residence on an unrelated matter. The Carter County Sheriff's Office, in collaboration with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, conducted the search at the home located on Blevins Hollow Road in Elizabethton, Tenn.
