A factory worker in Kentucky was hospitalized after her coworker allegedly locked her in a room with scalding steam and harsh chemicals.

On March 5, a woman who works at the Land-O-Frost factory in Madisonville was with a male employee inside the room where the racks are machine washed and sanitized. When her 23-year-old coworker walked out, the woman found the door, which only opens from the outside, was locked. There was a second door, but pallets were in front of it blocking its access. She could not get out before the rack washing machine was turned on, and 200-degree steam, and chemicals, filled the space and scalded her. She soon passed out, but she hit the emergency shut-off switch before she fell on the ground. The woman, who had injuries on her face, in addition to her head, was taken to a local hospital. It was reported that she was still being treated for a concussion the day after the incident occurred.

The parents of a 15-year-old girl are facing many charges after allegedly locking her in a chicken coop for months and feeding her only packages of ramen.

It was reported that last September, Child Protective Services was contacted by a 15-year-old girl who told them that her parents had been locking her in a chicken coop for several months. They notified the Farmington Police Department to report the situation, which reportedly involved a couple who was believed to be abusing their teenage daughter, and an investigation was opened. The police learned that the parents of the 15-year-old had more than one child in their Farmington home. The couple allegedly treated the other children well, but they were reportedly subjecting the young woman to horrible abuse.

According to reports, the teen was locked inside a chicken coop for long periods, even during times of inclement weather, in which she was forced to stay on her feet. She was reportedly fed nothing but packages of ramen, though the rest of the family ate normal meals. Additionally, her parents allegedly only let her use the bathroom twice a day. The alleged abuse reportedly continued for months before CPS was alerted. Approximately five months after the investigation began, detectives believed they had enough evidence to prove the claims of abuse were true.

A former teacher from West Richland is facing accusations of unlawfully imprisoning a student in her classroom for an hour and a half in the middle of a school day.

According to reports, the incident reportedly took place after the teacher reportedly became upset with the student after he showed excitement with a gesture when she mentioned possibly missing a future class due to illness.
