BALDWIN: You know I think we can do better with kids overall as a society. We can keep them safe and happy and healthy by calling authorities when we see something truly awful happening to a child. That's why I gave kudos on this newscast yesterday to a neighborhood that snapped into action. They heard a child crying inside this home and called police. When police arrived and found the boy locked in a basement wearing a t-shirt and a diaper. He said that he had been placed in a coffin down there as punishment and asked if the police were there to help him. Then he hugged one of the officers. Well, as it turns out his mother and stepfather were there as police started investigating the case. They were there. The "Scranton Times Tribune" reports that the mother told police they were just playing a game. But after a child psychologist questioned this boy and police felt they had enough to warrant charging the couple, mom and stepdad were nowhere to be found. They were on the loose. Warrants out for their arrest for eight days until yesterday. They turned themselves in right around the time that I was telling you about the 7-year-old boy. I want you to listen closely to the mother as she's let away in handcuffs.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I love my babies.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Then why did you do that?</s>BALDWIN: Well, I love my babies, she said. That mother and stepfather were arrested and arraigned last night on felony counts of endangering the welfare of a child and unlawful restraint. They are in jail. The boy is in foster care. I thought would you like to know. We will be right back, but as we go to break, "Forbes" released its list of America's most dangerous cities. Rounding up the top five, Anchorage, Alaska.
