Couple Accused of Child Abuse


Adolfo and Deborah Gomez

(Lawrence, Kansas) Two adults were arrested this week for allegedly mistreating children.

Adolfo Gomez, 52, and Deborah M. Gomez, 43, are charged with two counts of child abuse and five counts of child endangerment in connection to the case.

Police say that when officers arrived on the scene on Wednesday, they found two children ages five and seven years old, with their hands and feet bound with duct tape. Their eyes were also blind-folded.

Authorities believe the family had been living in the Wal-Mart parking lot since Monday.

“We determined there was a male standing near two children who were both bound,” said Sgt. Trent McKinley with Lawrence Police. “Their arms were behind their backs and there faces were partially covered.”

The family of two adults, three teens and the two younger children stopped at the Wal-Mart in Lawrence on Monday after experiencing mechanical problems with their Chevrolet Suburban as they were traveling to Arizona from Chicago.

Sickening.
