Two adults in Boonville are facing felony neglect charges after leaving a 2-year-old locked in a bedroom while they went to a soccer game. Boonville Police responded to a welfare check at a home on Maple St. around 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Officers discovered a naked toddler locked in a bedroom after spotting the child through a boarded-up window. The parents, Autumn Brown and Tyler Brown, drove past the house when they saw police and their child outside but were pulled over and returned. Autumn admitted she thought it was fine to leave the child alone for a short time. The Department of Child Services has taken custody of the child. Both adults were arrested and are being held at Warrick County Jail on Level 6 felony neglect charges.
