Yes if they wanted to beat him.

Some of them Appalachian folk are ruthless.

Quote:Potter said today that the situation at the Evensville home was unlike anything he had ever seen.

The investigation was triggered by a report from a family member or friend who had been in the home and a hotline referral "of a 5-year-old mentally challenged boy being harnessed to a bolt in the middle of the floor," Potter said.
"The room consisted of no carpet and just a small mattress," Potter said.
The detective said Hall allowed deputies inside the home and told them the harness was in a hallway of the home.
"The harness was fashioned from a medium-size dog harness and Couch's belt with some electrical tape," Potter said. It was made to fit around the boy's chest.
"For several hours, off and on throughout the past couple or three months, sometimes overnight, they advised that they fastened him to that," he said.
A three-foot-long length of cable restrained the boy to the floor when he was attached to the bolt there, he said.
The boy is unable to communicate because of his disability, Potter said. He had a busted lip and some bruises on his face.
