Child Locked in Bedroom

On May 29, 2014 at 1:45 pm, the London Police Service was contacted by the Childrens’ Aid Society (CAS) of London and Middlesex requesting assistance in checking on the welfare of a child at a residence. Officers attended and met with the CAS worker. Finding the residence apparently unoccupied, they contacted the home owners and had them attend at the house. Upon their arrival, entry was made into the house and found inside was a 10-year-old male. The child is the nephew of the home owners. His aunt and uncle are his guardians. The child was found locked in a bedroom, living in filthy conditions. The child was apprehended by CAS and transported to the hospital by ambulance.

The investigation has determined that the child had been locked in the master bedroom for a period of 18 to 24 months. The master bedroom had an ensuite bathroom so the child had access to a toilet and shower however the room, and the entire house, was in squalid condition. At hospital, the child was diagnosed as being underweight and suffering from malnutrition. The child has been released from hospital and is in the care of the Children’s Aid Society.

A couple also has a biological child. That child has also been apprehended however there is no evidence at this time that that child had ever been locked in a room in the house.

Two adults, the 10-year-old child’s aunt and uncle, have been charged with:
1) Failing to Provide the Necessaries of Life, contrary to section 215 of the Criminal Code
2) Forcible Confinement, contrary to section 279(2) of the Criminal Code

The tip to the Children’s Aid Society was received from a member of the public and was acted upon quickly by CAS. Neither the Children’s Aid Society nor the London Police Service had prior dealings with the occupants of the house or with anyone at that location. The Children’s Aid Society of London and Middlesex had brief contact with the family involving another older child who is no longer in the home, at another location, in 2007.

The investigation is continuing. The London Police Service is not releasing the identity of the child’s guardians as that would identify the child.
