According to ТСН: In Texas, a neighbor became a savior for a 22-year-old girl whom her guardian kept locked up in a dog house. The man called the police after he heard her desperate cries.

Law enforcement reported that the girl has serious mental and physical disorders. In the cold weather, she was dressed only in a T-shirt and sweatpants. A video recorded by neighbor Justin Anderson shows the girl banging on the dog house door and begging for help.

Arrest of the Guardian

The police arrested 60-year-old Candice 'Candy' Thompson, a woman who had cared for children for many years. She has been charged with kidnapping and cruelty to a person under her care.

Anderson noted that he did not expect to see such a thing in his neighborhood:

‘Keep your ears and eyes open. If you see or hear something, say something, of course, be very attentive and careful. Because as soon as something like this happens, it opens your eyes to how much evil exists around you.’

Condition of the Girl

Police Chief Anson Daniel Graciose reported that the victim received medical assistance for minor injuries and was then handed over to relatives. According to law enforcement, the girl is in stable condition. The investigation into Thompson's actions, who adopted a child over 20 years ago, is ongoing.

This situation serves as another reminder of the importance of being attentive to those around us and not remaining indifferent in the face of suspicious or alarming signals. Society must unite efforts to ensure the safety and protection of the most vulnerable. The investigation into the case continues, and law enforcement hopes for cooperation from residents to ensure justice.
