Monday, Dane County Human Services notified the Madison Police Department about a possible child abuse case involving two teenage sisters. The girls and two younger siblings were immediately moved into a safe environment. Last night, the MPD arrested their parents on tentative child abuse charges. The mother and father are accused of abusing the older girls, over the course of several years. The abuse included repeated lashings with a belt and with an electrical power cord. The children were instructed to lie if asked about injuries caused by the "discipline." They said they had not previously reported the abuse to police.Released 09/21/2012 at 12:55 PM by PIO Joel DeSpain
