(WD -The parents of a 13-year-old girl were Jailed Thursday for holding her a virtual prisoner in her bedroom for six years permitting her to leave only to attend school. Police said they stumbled on the story after the father, Elmer J. Kenslnger of Santa Cruz, reported that the girl, Elaine, had run away from home. ; When the girl was found at the home of a friend, she told police she had been locked in her 10-by 12-foot room upon returning from school for the "past six or seven years." Bath Said Refused . The teen-ager said her meals were brought to her room, she was not permitted to take a bath, and she had to use a coffee can for sanitary pur poses. Police Investigators went to the Kenslnger home and found that the doors and win dows to Elaine's squalid room were nailed shut. The room contained only an iron bed' stead, mattress, quilt and cof fee can. Policewoman Sua Curtis said another daughter, Mary, 4, was locked up with Elaine during the nights. She said two sons, Frank, 15, and Rob ert, 8, had been "abused" -but they were allowed to play outside the house. "Never have I seen a more abominable, degrading and disgusting way of life for any person to be subjected to," the policewoman said in her report. Kenslnger, a coin machine dealer, and his wife, Ruby, were Jailed on charges of child neglect and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
