A Milwaukee mother charged with child neglect and imprisonment locked her children in their bedroom so they wouldn't wander off due to 'their autism', a criminal complaint has revealed.
Her boyfriend also boarded up the kid's windows so that they wouldn't bother their 'nosey neighbor', the document states.
Katie Koch, 34, and lover Joel Manke, 38, were both arrested after her children escaped from their 'horror movie' home on July 13.
The boys, aged seven and nine, smashed a window and escaped naked and bloody where neighbors found them in the street.
In a tragic sight the children's boarded up windows could still be seen draped with feces-clad curtains featuring the popular children's animation Paw Patrol.
A criminal complaint filed in Milwaukee Circuit Court reveals the dire domestic situation and extent of abuse the children allegedly endured.
The document describes how an officer spoke to the couple about the boards on the bedroom windows, to which Manke said they were to 'keep the children from bothering the nosey neighbor.'
Koch also told the officer there were bolts on the kids' bedroom so that she could lock them in at night to stop them wandering due to 'their autism.'
The police's visit to the home also revealed a 'terrible hoarding situation' and that the responding officer, Jonathan Cruz, had trouble seeing the floor.
'Cruz observed the kitchen piled with trash and garbage as well as the living room' the complaint reads. 'The smell of feces and urine filed the residence' it continues.

At least her sons get to keep their dicks...not the case for boys who are unfortunate enough to have Democrat parents.
Life without parole in solitary confinement. But of course, it’s not murder so forget that. It’s Oklahoma, a conservative state, so one can hope they serve long sentences.
Correction: Wisconsin.
Don’t count their chickens before they have have hatched. Those kids are about to go into foster care. Who knows what kind of foster parents they will get? Remember the Turpin kids? They got shitty foster parents after the crap they went through.
Good point.
Regards,
I was tempted to do this with my daughters a few times once they reached their teens! (Well, locking them in their rooms for the year). There’s a fine line between sane and insane some times as a parent.
Mom didn’t seem to be up to handling a few challenges. Curious where mom and the boys land in a few years.
Who is the children’s father? Are they his?
Where are this woman’s motherly instincts?
This is sad. Some people are just nuts.
Bullet to the head of the mother and boyfriend. Saves lots of taxpayers money.
at least make sure they can’t have more kids.
Since then, the kids had been almost totally neglected. Which is a fairly common scenario for unmarried mothers who find boyfriends. The kids are suddenly "in the way of things" and cast to the side.
The boarded up window of the children's bedroom below is a symbol of how they were regarded in that home. They were caged up like animals.
I doubt Frankenstein would want that as a sister-in-law! If I have to wake up and see that first think in the morning, I’d blind myself. She looks like Diane Fienstein after Nancy Pelosi ‘s husband’s lover got her hammered!! 🤓
Lock these monsters up in the worst jail in the United States and let them rot. DC's jail has room for them...
Proving once again that the most dangerous person in the life of a child is the mother’s boyfriend.
No child should be raised in a filthy hoarding environment, and it seems the children’s autism made it worse for them. Sounds like the mother has mental issues herself and couldn’t handle two autistic children. Depending how severe the autism is, maybe the children need a higher level of care.

This is not the first story I’ve heard about parents of autistic kids locking them in a room because they wonder out.
Problem is, if they did wonder out and something happened then the parents would get in trouble so why is it against the law to lock them in their rooms? Granted the rooms should be a lot cleaner but still for the child’s own good lock them in. The child would be locked in at an institution for the same reason so what is the difference?
