Council Bluffs, IA- Charges have been filed against a man and woman accused of abusing her three-year-old son.
The woman, 24-year-old Courtny Anderson, was arrested last week on child endangerment, willful injury and neglect or abuse of a dependent person.
Her boyfriend, 32-year-old Scott Davis, has been charged with willful injury and child endangerment.
Police says Davis allegedly hog tied the boy with electrical tape and placed a rag in his mouth to quiet his crying. Anderson shut the lights in the boy's room, closed the door and left him there for at least 20 minutes.
Police say doctors discovered the boy had been whipped on his legs and back, his left eye was swollen shut and he had burns on the left side of his face.
The child has been placed in protective custody.
