A 6-year-old child was found locked in a dog cage inside a Philadelphia home, while two other children were found partially clothed and wandering around the back of the residence. The parents were arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering a person. The children were taken to a hospital for evaluation, and their conditions were not released. It is unclear how long the child had been in the cage or if authorities had been called to the home in the past.
