Cindy Marie Cantu and Kyle Erwin Skinner from Marietta, Georgia, have been arrested after they kept a three-year-old boy imprisoned in a bedroom without food or water after they nailed him in, police said.

Police had to bash down the door last Monday to free the child. They found the boy “living in filth”, stuck in a dirty diaper and with acute rash, according to police reports.

Cindy Marie Cantu, 24, was arrested at Wellstone Kennestone Hospital in Marietta later that night.

The woman was reportedly receiving treatment for injuries sustained in a fight from her boyfriend, Kyle Erwin Skinner, 23.

Kyle Erwin Skinner was arrested the following day. The couple faces charges of cruelty to children and contributing to the delinquency of minors.

Warrants obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution show the couple’s northern Atlanta home to be a place of squalor.

“The condition of the home presented hazards such as insects, faecal matter, rotting food, soiled diapers, standing water in the shower, and general unclean conditions of the home,” the warrants read.

Kyle Erwin Skinner has had several recent brushes with the law, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution notes. This is his third arrest in the last month.
