Michelle Charlesworth has more on the owner of a heroic German shepherd who was released from a New Jersey rehab facility Tuesday.
Responding officers located the boy confined to a bedroom and tethered to a fan by chains and padlocks.
The boy, a foster child in the care of Brown, was transported to University Hospital for evaluation.
He was subsequently released to the custody of the New Jersey Department of Child Protection and Permanency. Thanks to the courage of a concerned teacher, who requested a wellness check, this foster child was rescued, Ambrose said. We are investigating this incident along with the Essex County Prosecutor s Office to gather as much information as possible about how and why this child was put in this horrific situation. We are pleased that he s now safe, and we are grateful that his teacher suspected that he was in need of police assistance.
