Three adults are facing torture and child abuse charges after a child was found naked and chained up inside a central Alabama home.

On Thursday an anonymous caller tipped off Autauga County Sheriff's Office to a case of child abuse at a Prattville home on the 2500 block of County Road 46. Deputies responding to the home found a naked 13-year-old boy whose ankles were padlocked and chained to a door, restricting his movement. An investigation revealed the child had been chained over a long period of time.

The child's mother, Danielle Nicole Martin, 32, stepfather Joshua Daniel Martin, 26, and grandmother Vickie Seale Higginbotham, 58, were taken into custody and charged with torture and child abuse. Each suspect was booked into the Autauga  Metro Jail on a $15,000 cash bond.

The child, along with two others aged five and 12, was removed from the home and placed in the care of DHR.

Autauga authorities say additional charges could be forthcoming pending the investigation.
