Children caged as their father used drugs, say police

TWO brothers were locked up in a dog cage when their father used drugs and when they were being punished, and one had to wear a shock collar, authorities said.

The two-foot high cages were barely big enough for them enough to fit inside.

The parents appeared briefly in court yesterday on charges of child endangerment and making or selling drugs in front of the children, ages 10 and five.
