She was his mother, and she locked him in a bathroom – and then left him there for a year. Her name is Brandy K. Jaynes, 36, and she is from Toquerville, Utah. Jaynes was arrested and charged with second-degree aggravated felony child abuse. The boy’s father was the one who found him. He weighed only 30 pounds and wasn’t able to stand up.

Inside the bathroom was one blanket, empty cans of beans, and a monitor so the boy could be watched from outside the tiny room. According to reports, there was feces scattered around the room too.
