Parents who locked kids in feces-stained, ‘cage-like’ room get suspended sentence

WASHINGTON — The parents of three young children kept locked up and fed through a gate have been sentenced to six years plus probation, but their jail time will be suspended.

On Monday, March 30, the parents, who are not married but live together, plead guilty to three felony counts of child neglect. Scott Suggs, 28, and Brandy Kangas, 36, were sentenced to six years in prison but all six years were suspended.

They were also sentenced to indefinite probation including 10 years of good behavior. During that 10-year period they have to be “model citizens,” says Spotsylvania County Commonwealth Attorney Bill Neely.

On Dec. 16, 2014 a Spotsylvania County couple was arrested for child neglect of their three young kids. Police were tipped off by a good Samaritan.

I guess if they had done something really heinous like letting them play outside with plastic guns,wearing American flag tee shirts while signing Christmas carols they'd have thrown the book at them.

What about a court ordered spay and neuter?
