Philadelphia Police Find Four Malnourished People Locked in Basement

Four malnourished mentally disabled adults were found chained to a boiler in a locked basement room that was too small for an adult to stand up straight and also reeked of waste from the buckets they used to relieve themselves, police said Sunday. Three people were arrested.


Officers were investigating a report of squatters in a building Saturday when they found three men and a woman in a 15-by-15-foot room behind a steel door that was chained shut. The subbasement room they were in called to mind a Cold War-era bomb shelter and contained a makeshift bed, mattress and sheets, said Officer Tanya Little, a police spokeswoman.

Find the rson who was collecting their disability checks (and cashing them), and put them in prison for life. AFTER snapping a few bones (they can pick which ones). How's my syntax and where are those smart pills?
