RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Authorities say a baby and a toddler have found bound, gagged and left on a bedroom floor in Southern California, and the childrens' father is being investigated for attempted murder and torture in the case.

Riverside County Sheriff's Sgt. Steve Brown says deputies responded to the home in the Indian Hills area Friday on a report of a family disturbance.

Brown says the two girls, ages 1 1/2 and 18 weeks, also had visible injuries on their faces and heads.

Their father, 23-year-old Jeremiah Scott, fled before deputies arrived but was later found in the neighborhood and arrested.

Brown says the babies' injuries did not appear to be life threatening and they were transported to a hospital for treatment.

Scott is being held on $1 million bail.

OMG, where was the mom? I am not shocked any more when I read stories like this as it is happening too often. But, with each story I get sicker and sicker.

I really don't know what this world is coming to, but God is getting tired of all the babies and children being killed and abused. I really think the end of time is getting near. My prayers go out to these precious babies and I hope they will be put into a good home where they will be loved and cared for like they ought to be.

Sitemama, I don't know anything more than what was in the article.... I just came across it today and it sickened me....

You're right.... this kind of thing is happening all too often.

I still cannot imagine how a parent could ever harm a child, yet it continues to happen on a daily basis.
