NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-A North Platte couple was arrested on child abuse allegations.
According to North Platte police, on September 23 the Lincoln County Attorney's Office issued detention orders on 3 juveniles (ages 8,5 and 3).
Police say the parents of the juveniles are Heather and David Granados.
According to police, Heather is currently on probation but had failed to meet with her probation officer since July. A warrant was issued on Heather for probation violation. Heather has failed to show up for mandatory drug testing.
Police say Heather failed to answer the door when probation attempted to contact her.
Police say the school-aged juveniles haven't gone to school or been enrolled in remote learning. As a result, a search warrant was sought for the Granados residence to serve the detention orders on the children.
Police say the door of the residence had to be breached as the Granados' refused to answer it. Upon entry, officers found the living conditions in the home were unfit for juveniles. The juveniles were present and the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services took custody of them.
David and Heather were present and arrested on suspicion of child abuse and jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
