Virginia Beach Man Accused Of Caging Children In His Home

Police made a shocking discovery Sunday at a home in Virginia Beach, Virginia after a man was accused of locking children in a wooden cage. He has been taken into custody and is being charged with kidnapping and child abuse.

Authorities had been asked to check on a possible abuse case, according to locals. When they arrived, they were able to make contact with the 8 kids in question — ages 11, 10, 4, 1, 2, 9, 5, and 3 months.

In searching the home, however, they found something deeply disturbing: A wooden cage with several locks.

A photo of the cage showed that it was a crib-shaped wooden structure with hasps and locks. Soiled mattresses and blankets were inside the cage, as well as a slatted lid that opened at the top.

The man in question, Lawrence Albert Connor, has been released on bond and the children have been safely returned to their families.
