CLARKSVILLE, Ark. (AP) - A 10-year-old girl who authorities say had been chained to a bed by her ankles was killed in a house fire, and her parents were arrested on manslaughter charges.

Sheriff Wesley Kendrick said investigators believe the blaze early Monday was accidental. Four people made it out of the house - the parents and their two other children - before it burned to the ground.

The body of Molly Holt was found by firefighters in her bedroom under debris where the roof had collapsed, said Chief Deputy Jerry Dorney. Investigators also found a chain and padlock that they determined had secured the girl to her bed, Dorney said.

Dorney would not say what the parents told investigators when asked why their daughter was chained to the bed.

Lloyd Holt, 32, and Teresa Dick, 31, were arrested and jailed on $100,000 bail each.

Dorney said that when authorities arrived at the home, the father said he was not able to get the girl out.

OMG!!!! How horrible!
I think they should chain the parents to beds, set fire in a room in the house AWAY from where they are. That way the parents will have time to really think about the fire getting closer and closer to them before it burns their arse up!!!:mad: :mad: :mad:

i agree what is up with ppl thinking that they can do these things to other ppl and especially kids..Its a shame...Just like i have been seeing in the news where these parents starved their 4 adopted sons...but the daughters were fine...The 18 year old boy looked like an 8 year old he was so small and malnourished...What is the world coming to when little kids are mistreated????????/
this is so sad kids shouldnt have to live like this any kid

What stupid people. It is a child not a monster. I think people who chain or tie or whatever to there kids should be hanged by a rope and a fire lit at there toes. A**holes!!!

So much of this crap is going on nowadays. Everytime I read something like this to a child it makes me wanna go hug mine and make sure they are safe.
