    On The Huffington Post, an article called "Robert Hohn, Shannon Watterson Kept Boy Locked In Bare Room For Months, Cops Say", was posted on November 30, 2012. A couple in New York locked up a twelve year old boy in a room for three months. He was kept in a room with nothing but a lamp. The father and step mother only let him out to use the bathroom and eat small meals. The windows were screwed shut and the door knob was put on backwards. The boy ran away to Melissa Ferraro- Walsh's house on Tuesday night. He ate for four hours straight because he was so hungry. He was twenty pounds underweight and he had bruises all over his face and body. The other three children were given normal care. The twelve year old is now kept in a hospital to get his weight up. Robert Hohn and Shannon Watterson were arrested on Wednesday and charged with felony child abuse and four counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
