A Fayette County couple has been charged after Pennsylvania State Police found five children in "deplorable living conditions" in Redstone Township.
State troopers have charged 65-year-old James Russell Kahl and 41-year-old Carly Kahl after authorities found the couple's five children living in a home along Willis Avenue with no beds, boarded-up windows, feces on bedroom walls, fleas, limited clothing, and food.
Police say there were three deadbolt locks on the outside of the door and no handle for the children to escape.
The room functioned as a "dungeon," with video cameras hardwired to the father's room.
The children were removed from the home and placed into the care of Child and Youth Services.
