The District Attorney’s Office says a father, his wife and two step-children are all facing felony charges after a 15-year-old boy was found nearly starved to death in the family’s home near Meeker.

According to investigators, the teen was forced to live in a barn next to the family home. He was found being extremely underweight and suffering from a head wound that his father had super-glued shut.
