PHILADELPHIA - Ten young people are in protective custody in Philadelphia after police linked them to the earlier discovery of four mentally disabled and malnourished adults found locked in a basement.
Authorities are looking into the relationships between the youths, the victims and three defendants charged in the case.
Linda Ann Weston is accused of preying on the four adults and locking them in a basement crawlspace in northeast Philadelphia. A landlord found them Saturday, weak and malnourished.
The juveniles, who range in age from 2 to 19 years old, were taken into custody Tuesday. They are receiving medical evaluations.
