“Information obtained during the initial investigation led to the discovery of a brown-colored storage trunk in the living room area,” said CCSO Investigator Preston White. “The trunk contained urine-soaked blankets, a pillow, half-eaten pizza, and clothing with a substance consistent with blood.”

So it sounds as if this originally began as an abuse allegation against Sean, for abusing his disabled sister, and then led to the discovery of abuse to his and Mikki's child, who also is vulnerable due to the autism and non verbal status.

They both sound like horrible people. May the sister and the child fare better in the care of others.
