Perry and Hamilton, both of Shenandoah, Iowa, had left their children with relatives, who they told to keep the four-year-old in the makeshift cage.

The cage, which deputies found in the home, was made out of a pack and play, a baby gate roof and zip ties. Deputies said that the child managed to escape the cage and left the home without waking anyone up.
