A Florida couple locked two of their children in a closet for days on end, forced them to eat from a bucket and never enrolled them in school, according to authorities. Quincy Hazel and Sabrina Golden-Hazel, both 44 from Riviera Beach, also allegedly never took either of the children, a 17-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl, to a doctor or dentist. A 26-year-old relative told police that the family has 11 children but that the 17- and 12-year-old were the only two subjected to the cruel treatment, the Sun Sentinel reported. The conditions emerged when the older child ran away from home last month and started living on the street. Arrested: Sabrina Golden-Hazel, left, and Quincy Hazel, right, have been charged with child neglect after two of their children told investigators they had been locked in a closet and forced to sleep on the floor . When a 19-year-old woman took him in, he told her he was too scared to go home, she told authorities. Speaking to investigators, the teenager said that the couple started locking him and the girl in the closet when they were young and they would spend days on end trapped inside. They were never sure how much time had passed because they could not see sunlight from inside the closet, the boy said. After the girl pretended to be dead a few years ago, Golden-Hazel allowed them to sleep on the floor of a bedroom rather than in the closet, the 26-year-old relative told authorities. When they were let out, the boy was so hungry that he would eat trash, which sometimes made him sick, and he had to endure beatings at the hands of Hazel, he told investigators. Scene: The children, who lived at this home, picked food out of the trash to eat, they told investigators . Locked up: The couple had other children but allegedly only subjected the two children to the treatment . Investigators noticed that he had teeth missing and he said he would often cry at night because of the pain in his mouth - but that he was never once taken to a dentist. Hazel told detectives that he never noticed the children had any health problems, while Golden-Hazel said she hadn't taken them to the dentists or doctors because they had refused to go. She also accused the children of making up the stories and told investigators she home schooled the children - but police did not find any books in the house. They couple have each been charged with two counts of child neglect with great bodily harm and are now locked up the Palm Beach County Jail on $100,000 bail.
