SAN ANTONIO - Three people are in jail - accused of child abuse after police found two little girls showing signs of starvation, malnutrition, and injuries.

Police arrested mom Kayela McClintick, dad Jeremiah Coleman, and baby sister JoAnn Brown.  Police say the three suspects are each facing two counts each of child abuse.

Investigators said they first found a starving 2-year-old girl, but couldn't find her older sister after repeated visits to the home. The six-year-old told officers she was forced to hide in a closet for hours at a time.

“She also told investigators anytime she went to the refrigerator she would be punished, and her sister was only able to eat one time a day,” explained Officer Matt Porter from the San Antonio Police Department.

According to the arrest warrant the 6-year-old child also told Child Protective Services her mom and the baby sister would quote "dance and perform for men at the home while she and her sister would hide in the closet, " end quote.

Police say the babysitter faces charges because she knew about the abuse and didn't report it.

The children are currently is CPS custody. A hearing will be held on August 13th to determine where the little girls will reside.

Possible human traffic activities between DIF Mexico and CPS San Antonio, and relation with the catholic Pope. The pope start visiting and made business with them, The catholic church has to recuperate the money of the sues against them in ...USA. He knew about the killing of millions of Chineses of a religious group, Chineses offered him the life of the Chinese children of this religious group (Genocide massacre in China). Good opportunity, he contacted Hillary Clinton, and Calderon, opus dei members, business done in high level. It seems that Joaquin Castro works for the China Imperium including India and their satellites countries like Mexico. Human Traffic between DIF Mexico to CPS San Antonio of Mexican, children from India and Chinese children. Allowing investment of American and Mexican mafias in San Antonio. Shame on Joaquin Castro. The true will come soon. Calderon and his wife controlled DIF Mexico, the only entity similar to Child Protective Services in USA and with legal authority to USCIS (Immigration), Calderon and his wife were the only taking decision of adoption in Mexico through the States, instead of help many children to legalize their situation in the States, they used them as a personal business, each child more than 15,000.00 USD, they were coming from China, India and also Mexican children to be given in adoption in the States, no body (Mexican, Mexican American families), even the personnel in DIF Mexico knows that DIF is the only legal entity recognized by USCIS to do that. Only my estimates annually with Chinese children are more 200 million dollars, but it was only a personal business of Calderon and Fox that no Mexican or Mexican American was beneficiated.

Hang your head in shame you nasty trick. Absolutely APPALLING. If you don't want your kids then there's ways to put them up for adoption. Your inability to spread your legs and be "smart" about it should not be at their expense.

Trash Trash Trash. Who turned these people into CPS? They should be given an award! I hope CPS takes notes and starts searching in closets, basements, attics, etc.. any place that filth like this can hide a child.

Bunch of trash. Poor kids, hopefully they get fed only once a day in the big barred closet they're going to be staying in.

God bless the children. I cannot imagine why monsters like this are allowed to be around anything as innocent as a child. I truly hope these babies are placed with a good family and shown true love and caring.

Sorry folks but I cannot stand adults who are cruel to children. I say put them in jail and throw away the key. And if it is too expensive to house them then execute them. I, for one, do not want them living any longer in our society.

Thankfully they got to these little girls in time to stop the physical abuse. I just hope it's not too late for them emotionally to recover from this. THere are truly some sick people in this world. I pray these little girls find a good home together and loving people to show them what a real family is like.
