An officer who was responding to an animal complaint at a neighboring house spotted the boy and went to investigate. He found the child cuffed at his ankle with the chicken draped around his neck, the report said.
After searching the home, authorities removed five children, ages 14, 13, 11, 9 and 8, from the home and began a criminal investigation. Neglected pets also were taken from the home.
Dorian Lee Harper and Wanda Sue Larson, both 57, were arrested. More
