Pennsylvania parents locked son in car boot to cure fear of dark

Jeffrey and Danielle Lenhart were charged with felony child endangerment and reckless endangerment for locking their son in the car during three trips to the Idlewild amusement park in Lingonier, Pennsylvania, in July 2013, court records showed.

They gave him a flashlight and told him to look for sweets before locking the boot at the park, about 15km from their home in Latrobe, court officials said.
