This woman named Jacole N. Prince 29 years old is being charged with first degree assault for the mistreatment of her 10 year old girl. The young mother allegedly locked her daughter in the closet and would leave her there continuously over 2 day periods for peeing on herself. Kansas City police received a tip from a hotline about from neighbors that there were three kids which lived in the apartment but they only saw two in several years. Officers found out that Prince was out with the other two children when cops invaded the apartment under reasonable entrance laws. Cops said that the entire second floor smelt of Urine. Officers said that they entered a room where they saw a crib pressed and tied to a closet door. They asked "Is anyone in here". The girl replied from the other side, "Yes". Detectives said that the little girl was one third of the weight she supposed to be. She weighed only 32 lbs and clearly malnourished. The little girl said that her mother would often get mad at her and "punches her on the back". When officials asked why was she in the closet, she said her mother told her that was her room! The mom faces first degree charges of child abuse and endangering the welfare of a child.
