(Washington County Sheriff’s Office)On a January evening, deputies in Utah responded to a hospital where a father had taken his 12-year-old son. “Investigators began to follow up on the circumstances which led to the child’s hospitalization,” a Washington County Sheriff’s Office news release said. “It is one of the most horrible things I’ve ever had to see,” Washington County Sheriff’s Office Lt. David Crouse told the Associated Press. The newspaper reported:The officer wrote in the report that detectives found the bathroom in the home, and they observed two latches on the exterior of the bathroom door, as to lock the door from the outside. “This is something out of the makings of a horror film,” Crouse told the St. George News.
