Woman Charged For Putting Kids In Dog Cage

Formal charges have been filed against a Grafton woman accused of locking four young children in a dog cage.

Twenty-three-year-old Jordan Nelson is charged with eight counts of abuse and felonious restraint. The cage was located in the basement of a home that Nelson shares with the children’s biological mother.

The children told investigators that they were locked in the cage as punishment and the lights were turned off. The complaint also says Nelson punished one child by holding her head under water.

Her preliminary hearing is on April 13th.
