"A central Indiana couple was accused of punishing their 9-year-old son by shutting him in a room littered with cat feces and forcing him to remain there for days.
"The boy's mother, Hope Lee White, 35, and stepfather, Jason Wayne White, 29, were being held on $3,000 bond Tuesday night in the Johnson County jail on preliminary charges of child neglect. If convicted, each could face up to three years in prison.
"Police who searched the home on a warrant Sunday found the younger boy confined to a 10-foot-by-12-foot room with no furniture, two cats, a litter box and
piles of cat feces."
