Doorbell video shows malnourished Texas twins seeking help

CYPRESS, Texas (AP) — Court records show a woman accused of starving and abusing her twin teenagers had been arrested a decade earlier on a child abuse charge. One of the twins told police he and his sister were handcuffed and endured horrific abuse before escaping their family’s home near Houston. A neighbor’s doorbell camera in Cypress showed the twins seeking help Tuesday. Authorities issued an alert for their mother, her boyfriend and five other children. Forty-year-old Zaikiya Duncan and 27-year-old Jova Terrell were arrested in Louisiana. The other children were found safe. An affidavit says the 15-year-old malnourished twins told authorities their mother handcuffed them and made them drink bleach.
