Two 16-year-old twins escaped from their abusive mother and her boyfriend who handcuffed, bound and forced them to drink their own urine at their $600,000 Texas house of horrors.
The breakout was caught via Ring camera footage that saw the twins, who have not been named, run from their Houston home Tuesday in an attempt to get someone to call the police.
The boy wasn't wearing a shirt and both of the siblings were barefoot, the neighbor who eventually let the pair inside told KHOU. The kids told police their mother and her boyfriend had left them in a room and forced them to eat and drink their own waste, refusing to let them use the toilet.
The woman who found them added: 'They would only feed them a sandwich, only if they were quiet the whole day, if they made any type of noise they wouldn't be fed. How a mother could do this to her kids and... I feel like my tears are out of frustration anger and sadness.
'They were so skinny and so frail. They just looked like they had been through a lot. They told me that their mom kept them locked in the laundry room, naked, zip tied from the ankles and handcuffed from the wrist.'
Louisiana State Police soon tracked down their mother, 40-year-old Zaikiya Duncan, and her boyfriend, 27-year-old Jova Terrell, at a traffic stop in Baton Rouge. Both are charged with injury to a child and will be brought back to Houston, which a spokesman for local police told DailyMail.com was expected to be 'later today.'
At least five other siblings were rescued by police, one of whom was still with Duncan and Terrell, while the other four had been left with relatives throughout Louisiana.

I have changed my mind to sledgehammer.
Start at the legs.
I’ve read 41 comments on this thread and no one showed any curiosity of HOW they could afford to live in a $600k house in Houston. What was the source of the $$$?
I second the motion for death sentences.
It’s Houston; they’ll probably get suspended sentences.
