Teens imprisoned in filth, police say

COCOA -- Police said they had never seen anything like it: A girl, 14, and her 16-year-old brother locked in their bedrooms, plywood covering the walls and windows.
The teens, officers said, were fed only liver soup and bread for days at a time in the feces-covered, single-wide mobile home they shared with their mother, her roommate, 12 rats, 10 cats, three dogs, three birds, two 8-foot snakes, two turtles and a prairie dog.
The animals, however, roamed freely through the dilapidated mobile home. . .
