\nA Simpson County man and woman were charged Thursday with numerous counts of child endangerment and criminal abuse after a welfare check.<\/p>\n
Morgan Soper, 28, and Johnathan Jenkins, 30, were charged with 89 counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, 89 counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, and one count of second-degree criminal abuse.<\/p>\n
On October 12, Simpson County Sheriff Deputies responded to 4980 Springfield Road for a welfare check.<\/p>\n
Deputies found a four-year-old child alone and locked in a bedroom in the home.<\/p>\n
During their investigations, deputies learned the parents of the child had been leaving the child home alone throughout the day for quite some time.<\/p>\n
Deputies also discovered Soper is the director of KinderCare, a childcare facility in Goodlettsville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n
KinderCare released a statement regarding the incident, saying Soper has been put on administrative leave following her arrest.<\/p>\n
Both were taken to the Simpson County Detention Center where they remain as of Friday morning on a $10,000 bond.<\/p>\n
They will both appear in court on October 26.
