Boy found in closet

PHOENIX -- A Phoenix boy is in the hospital Monday and his parents are behind bars, facing charges of child abuse that one police officer called "especially shocking."

Doctors said Isaac Loubriel, 7, is in stable condition despite weighing just 36 pounds and having been locked in a tiny, dark closet for months.

Officers found Isaac Sunday after his grandmother called to the police to request a welfare check. According to Det. Tony Morales, the woman was concerned because she had not seen the boy for several months.

Officers went to the family's home near Second Street and Hatcher Road and spoke to the boy's parents, Melanie and Ricardo Loubriel, and his five siblings.

Morales said the Loubriels were evasive in their responses. At some point during the interview, the officers heard noises coming from a closet in the home. The door was locked from the outside and had a bed pulled in front of it. Isaac was locked in the closet.

Officers rushed the little boy to the hospital. When they found him, he was bruised and emaciated, wearing nothing more than a pull-up diaper.

"He was in a fetal position," Morales said. "His hair had fallen out. Officers said he looked like a skeleton."

Morales said when interviewed by investigators, the Loubriels said they locked Isaac in the closet in February. They reportedly wanted to keep him confined as punishment. They also told police they didn't feed him for up to a week at a time.

"The parents couldn't give us a logical explanation on why they did this to this child and not the others," Morales said.

All of the boy's siblings were not hurt. Three of them were taken from the Loubriel home and, like Isaac, are in the custody of Child Protective Services. Two other children are in the custody of the grandmother.

Despite the condition in which he was found, police say Isaac is doing pretty well at John C. Lincoln Hospital.

The parents were booked into Maricopa County Jail on child abuse charges. Their bail has been set at $500,000 each.

yet.
  
Date: 6/10/2003 8:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 62191    That is utterly rediculous. They should be locked in a cell and not fed for months at a time. I'd love to watch their hair fall out. -.- ~deadstar
Date: 6/10/2003 8:46:00 AM  From Authorid: 54532    Thats horrible. Those parents should be sterilized for what they did. They should never have been parents!! ~Lilliana~  
Date: 6/10/2003 8:54:00 AM  From Authorid: 58611    What is wrong with parents nowdays?? We are hearing more and more about stuff like this! Its like people are getting sicker and sicker!

Date: 6/10/2003 8:56:00 AM  From Authorid: 20725    yeahs well that was said there are alotta cases of stuff like this its really sad  
Date: 6/10/2003 9:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 53558    So, so, very sad. 'Bail' the key to their cell should be thrown away.  
Date: 6/10/2003 9:28:00 AM  From Authorid: 15157    They shouldn`t have given them ANY bail!...  
Date: 6/10/2003 9:32:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 36704    What's even sadder is they did an interview with neighbors on the news, one woman said that the children were never let out of the house, the only time you saw them was peeking through the windows. The newscaster asked another neighbor who shared the duplex with the couple, if he was shocked to learn what his neighbors were doing and he said no because you could hear the children screaming at night while they were being beat through the walls. How nice of the neighbors to do something. The parents also say now that the reason they locked the boy in the closet was because he had an attitude problem.  
Date: 6/10/2003 9:38:00 AM  From Authorid: 62074    Those idiotic parents, they should be beaten with whips, locked in a closet and not fed for months.
Either that or send them to the mary kay institute to serve as lab rats.. Those people are horrible. There will surely be an eternal suffering for them in the afterlife.

Date: 6/10/2003 9:41:00 AM  From Authorid: 28989    Crimes against children are the worst. I'm surprised that the parents' bond was set so low. I'm beginning to support the idea of making it mandatory to send newly married couples to parenting school, although that probably wouldn't have helped with these people.  
Date: 6/10/2003 10:44:00 AM  From Authorid: 62095    Hearing this hurts my heart so much, the kid is going to have so many problems because of this. *Cass*  
Date: 6/10/2003 11:27:00 AM  From Authorid: 13119    I am disgusted with the parents but also with the school district for not following up on the child missing that much school.  
Date: 6/10/2003 12:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 57723    people are sick  
Date: 6/10/2003 12:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 62184    A child shouldn't be locked in a closet for an 'attitude problem', every kid has one.. even adults at times do too. People can be so sickening. ~EndlessDreamer~  
Date: 6/10/2003 1:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 1432    OMG that is just HORRIBLE...  
Date: 6/10/2003 1:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 58078    That is absolutely horrible and disgusting. That poor child. I can't believe none of his siblings never said anything to anyone being they are children or that the school didn't notice him missing or something suspicious for 4 months. His friends, other family members...someone. That poor child is tramatised for life.  
Date: 6/10/2003 2:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 13636    This just goes to prove that people should have a license before having kids....and the others should be nuetered.  
Date: 6/10/2003 8:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 31765    freaks. this sort of thing really makes me angry.  
Date: 6/10/2003 8:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 12341    You make a good point about the neighbors. Even animals take better care if their own. Disgusting, I know it happens and I still can't imagine the cruelty, these kind of slugs have no conscience. They should be made an example of.  
Date: 3/10/2004 12:41:00 AM  From Authorid: 56176    OH THIS IS SO SAD ,THANKS FOR POSTING IT,,,,ESP CHICK
