A cruel Pennsylvania couple kept their three young sons locked in an empty coal cellar called “the hole” for days at a time, police said.
Richard Hayes, 37, of Mount Oliver, and Natosha Bell, 26, of Rankin, were arrested Wednesday at McClure Elementary School in White Oak, where Hayes’ 11-year-old son refused to get into his car at dismissal time, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
The frightened boy said he didn’t want to be handcuffed again as he clung to a school employee, a witness told police.
Hayes opened the minivan’s door and a school employee spotted the couple’s two other children, ages 7 and 10, both in handcuffs, according to the complaint.
White Oak police detained the couple and said Hayes also had a loaded handgun with him. Allegheny County police took the three boys into emergency custody and they later told authorities at a hospital of the brutal treatment they endured, according to the complaint.

Police said “the hole” was actually an empty coal cellar that had no lights or water and a concrete floor.
Another room in the basement was also referred to as “the cell,” the boys told police while describing the bucket they were forced to use as a toilet. The 7-year-old boy said he was locked away in the room without mattresses or pillows for taking food when he was hungry, the complaint states.
The 7-year-old also said Hayes forced his head underwater in a bathtub, which he admitted to investigators, according to the complaint. Hayes also reportedly told cops he made the three boys sleep on a basement floor and that he had handcuffed them
