LaRhonda M. McCall, 37, and Steve V. Hamilton, 38, were arrested Saturday on child abuse and child neglect complaints. They are not formally charged.

The boy told police Friday his mother beat him with a broomstick, electrical cord and belt over the last four years and tied him up with twine, court records show. The boy, who has visible scars, said his mother "would lock him in a closet and not feed him for several days at a time,” the records show.

He said her friend was abusive as well.

He told police he escaped the bedroom closet after pushing open the often blocked door enough to get out, according to a police report. He said he had not had anything to eat in about a week. He said he had never been to school in Oklahoma in the four years he’d stayed with his mother after she got out of jail, the police report shows.
