Police said that when they arrived at the home, the child was running around the yard without any clothes on, and the couple was inside sleeping.

“As we went inside, we found the parents were asleep in the back bedroom. They weren't watching the child at all,” said Detective Shane Safrit.

Police said the Department of Social Services placed the child with another family member.
