After reportedly keeping two children, ages 9 and 11, locked up, emaciated, and subjected to "military-style" skill, a Michigan couple and their adult son are facing multiple counts of first-degree child abuse and abuse. One of the children, who was only 33 weight, was in critical condition in the hospital. On November 17, 2025, when medical staff alerted authorities about a 9-year-old boy who had been admitted as" greatly underweight" and covered in bruises, the investigation against Auturo Bazan Perez, 43, and Dulce Crystal Bazan Castillo, 42, began. His parents claimed he had a health problem. The baby was now intubated and without a signal when officers arrived. He was airlifted to another doctor because of the intensity of his condition. He just had 33 weight on him. His 11-year-old nephew was also in the hospital and was found in a similar house. He weighed 43 pounds, which is roughly half the average weight for his age. Carlos Bazan Hernandez, 21, the woman's grownup son, is also facing charges for allegedly getting involved. Context and a Limited Diet: The children had been kicked out of common school in September, according to officials. According to the parents, the family was moving to another position or to Mexico. The children had at least two dinners a moment while they were in college. Their nutrition, which they abandoned, generally consisted of occasional rice rations. The children could not leave their room because the windows were screwed shut and the glass was painted over to stop them from looking around, according to investigators. Two more children, ages 1 and 4, even appeared to be good and lived in the home. Both were removed from filial captivity, and parental rights were instituted.
