HI HAT, Ky. (WMDJ) — Two Floyd County residents are facing misdemeanor child abuse charges following an investigation involving social services and the Kentucky State Police.

According to court documents, investigators responded Tuesday, May 5, to a home on Ky. 122 at Hi Hat belonging to 55-year-old Scotty Lee Greene and 49-year-old Patricia Annette Greene.

Authorities say they were given consent to enter the home and check living conditions where a child had been staying.

The citation states responders found a basement bedroom used by the child with a wooden barrier attached to the outside of the door, allegedly preventing the child from leaving during nighttime hours. Investigators also reported finding a camera monitoring the room and an alarm system on the door.

According to the citation, mold was observed in the basement, along with a strong musty odor. The bedroom reportedly smelled strongly of urine, and what appeared to be human feces was found in one corner.

The child reportedly told investigators they were locked in the room at night and had to knock to be let out to use the restroom.

Both Greene and Greene were cited on charges of third-degree criminal abuse involving a child 12 or younger. They are scheduled to appear in court May 20.
