Authorities say Brandy James locked her son, now 12, in an upstairs bathroom in her Toquerville, Utah, home for perhaps as long as two years.

When they found him, the boy was so severely malnourished, he weighed just 30 pounds.

The conditions inside, as laid out in an indictment, are truly upsetting : The toilet bowl was so full of feces that there didn't appear to be any water inside. The door was locked from the outside. The light switches were duct taped in the off position, so the boy probably sat in darkness all the time. The boy so weak when he was found that he wouldn't have been able to stand up and take the duct tape off on his own.

Empty bean cans and a spoon were found in the shower, where the drain was covered with duct tape.

"I've seen the pictures. They're horrific," Washington County Sheriff's Lt. David Crouse told CNN affiliate KSL. "I've seen other horrible things, but this is one of those things I'll never forget. I wish I could unsee it."

Crouse said a video camera was set up so the mother could monitor the boy on her cellphone, and a baby monitor was set up so she could give him instructions but he could not reply.

Worst ever seen

The boy's father found him -- "laying on the floor of the bathroom with a blanket" -- on Sunday at James' house and rushed him to a hospital. Then the sheriff's deputies were called. Crouse said the mother and father are married but separated.

An emergency room doctor at Dixie Regional Medical Center said "it was the worst case of malnutrition he had seen."

The doctors said "the victim would be hospitalized for at least 3 weeks to get him healthy again," the sheriff's office statement.

James, the mother, told deputies she would sometimes lock her son for his own safety when she left the house. She also claimed he "wanted to sleep in this bathroom" despite the wretched conditions. She was charged with one count of felony child abuse. It's unclear if she's hired a lawyer.

The boy hadn't been to school in three years, Crouse said. Two other siblings lived in the house.

They didn't show any signs of abuse.

Six children are missing and four people are in the hospital after a fire tore through a home in Baltimore, Maryland, early this morning, officials said

The staff of a US congressman was a mother who lost 6 of her children in a fire in Baltimore

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A mother who lost six of her young children in a fire that tore through her family's home in Baltimore this week has been identified by authorities as Katie Malone, who's on the staff of a U.S. congressman.

She is the adult female who was hospitalized from the fire, along with several of her children, Baltimore Fire Department Chief Roman Clark said this morning.

Fire officials said Thursday the woman and two sons, ages 4 and 5, were in critical condition. Malone's 8-year-old daughter, who helped her mother and her two younger brothers escape the burning house, was hospitalized in good condition and could be released from the hospital shortly, fire officials also said Thursday.

Six young children died in the blaze: a 9-month-old boy, a 2-year-old boy, two 3-year-old twin girls, a 10-year-old girl and an 11-year-old girl. The six bodies have been recovered and everyone is now accounted for, according to the fire chief.

Clark said the deadly blaze broke out early-Thursday morning just after midnight and caused the home's third floor to collapse into the second floor, making the search for the children difficult. The fire chief called the collapse "horrendous."

The body of the baby boy was found in a crib on the first floor of the three-story home in northeast Baltimore, Clark said.

The children's father was at work at the time of the fire, according to Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh.

Pugh asked citizens of Baltimore to pray for the family, saying, "Any loss is painful, but the loss of children pains you even more deeply."

Although fire officials had not yet identified the woman at the time, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said Thursday that the fire involved Malone, who is one of his staff members, and "her young family."

"I am asking that our entire community pray for my staff member, Katie Malone, and her young family. Katie has worked as a Special Assistant in my Catonsville office for nearly 11 years where she dutifully serves my constituents in the areas of immigration, postal services and the military, including Service Academy nominations," Cummings said in a statement on Facebook.

"My staff is a family and this unimaginable tragedy is shocking and heartbreaking to us all."

Cummings told reporters Thursday he talked to Malone's husband "at length today."

"Katie is going to be OK. ... Three of her nine children, her husband thinks they will be OK, also," the congressman said. "Our office will do every single thing in our power to embrace them in this very, very difficult time."

The cause of the fire is under investigation, according to the Baltimore Fire Department.

ABC News' Paola Chavez, Sarah Shales, Emily Shapiro and Janet Weinstein contributed to this report.

Automaker failed to disclose emissions software, EPA says

See all 11 photos

Federal regulators have admonished Fiat Chrysler for allegedly failing to disclose engine management software that increases emissions on certain diesel vehicles. The Environmental Protection Agency says FCA violated the Clean Air Act, although the automaker denies wrongdoing.

The allegations cover roughly 104,000 vehicles sold by FCA. These vehicles include 2014, 2015, and 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Ram 1500 trucks with 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 engines.

Automakers may install auxiliary emissions control devices in the name of ensuring engine durability. Under law, automakers must report any type of software that can alter how a vehicle emits air pollution. According to the EPA, FCA failed to disclose the existence of these devices during the vehicle certification process.

In a statement, the EPA said it found at least eight pieces of undisclosed software on FCA vehicles. Testing revealed that the vehicles produce increased nitrogen oxide emissions under normal operating conditions, according to the EPA.

"We continue to investigate the nature and impact of these devices," said Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. "All automakers must play by the same rules, and we will continue to hold companies accountable that gain an unfair and illegal competitive advantage."

In its own statement, FCA says its emissions control systems "meet the applicable requirements." It also says it has tried to explain its emission technology to the EPA and even proposed software changes to the EPA to further enhance emissions performance.

"FCA US looks forward to the opportunity to meet with the EPA's enforcement division and representatives of the new administration to demonstrate that FCA US's emissions control strategies are properly justified and thus are not 'defeat devices' under applicable regulations and to resolve this matter expeditiously," the automaker said in the statement.

The EPA says it's still investigating whether the undisclosed pieces of software constitute defeat devices. As you may recall, the EPA busted Volkswagen for using defeat devices, which behave one way under testing conditions and emit more pollution in real-world driving. Just yesterday, it was announced that VW will plead guilty to criminal charges related to the cheating scandal, and that it would pay $4.3 billion in criminal and civil fines.

Flood Warnings are in place as large amounts of snow and ice hits the streets of Eastern England.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Environment Agency has issued 17 warnings of danger to life - with homes in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex most under threat from high tides.

Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes.

Residents in Essex remain on high alert as they continue to wait for the high tide to reach the area.

Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft escaped flooding as the high water passed without any major problems.

The wind changed the predicted combination of high tides and the surge, according to the Environment Agency.

Many residents had refused to leave their homes, despite the police knocking on an estimated 15,000 properties throughout the day.

Elsewhere, there are more than 80 flood warnings - meaning immediate action is required - and more than 70 flood alerts in place.

The Environment Agency has installed more than five miles (8km) of temporary barriers and sent 25 pumps to depots and towns along the east coast.

The government's flood information service has predicted that gale force winds will cause large waves, resulting in "potential damage to flood defences and flooding of property".

The tidal surge passed without incident in Skegness, Lincolnshire, and waters levels are dropping in other areas including Boston, Lincolnshire, and Withernsea, Yorkshire.

Evacuate 'immediately'

But there are still fears of widespread flooding further south, with Essex Police urging residents in Jaywick, Mistley and West Mersea, near Clacton-on-Sea, to leave their homes "immediately".

By early evening, an educational centre in Tendring, Essex - which had been set up to cater for those evacuated from Jaywick - had registered about 140 of its residents.

Officials say about 2,500 homes and properties in the county could be affected by flooding, with the evening high tide expected there at around midnight.

Leaflets were delivered to homes warning people that their properties "could be flooded by sea water up to a depth of three metres".

Nigel Brown, from Tendring Council, said there was room for 1,000 people and said they were ready for the next high tide at about 23:00 GMT.

Residents in approximately 5,000 properties near Great Yarmouth, in Norfolk were also told to leave their homes.

BBC News correspondent Alex Dunlop said police in Great Yarmouth knocked on 5,000 doors, home to about 15,000 people, to try to persuade them to evacuate.

About 60-70% refused and insisted on staying, our correspondent said, though some may be making their own arrangements to leave.

About 80 people have also been evacuated from the Norfolk village of Walcott.

About 1,880 properties are also thought to be at high risk of flooding in Suffolk.

About 30 properties in the East Riding of Yorkshire have been evacuate amid fears they could be flooded.

Weather disruption across the UK:

Floods minister Therese Coffey said people needed to take the tidal surge seriously.

"I want to encourage people to respond to the calls for people, where they are at risk, to stay with friends or family or at rest centres."

Earlier, snow, ice and winds caused travel problems across the UK, with the Met Office warnings of high winds, snow and ice on Friday. There are yellow warnings of ice in place across the UK for the rest of Friday and Saturday.

What is a storm surge?

A storm surge is a change in sea level that is caused by a storm.

The main cause of a storm surge is high winds pushing the sea water towards the coast, causing it to pile up there.

The strong winds in the storm generate large waves on top of the surge which can cause damage to sea defences, or spill over the top adding to the flood risk.

Motorist with gun kills man beating wounded Arizona trooper.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The man who came upon the scene warned the suspect to stop striking the officer, but the assailant continued, said Capt. Damon Cecil, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

The good Samaritan got a gun from his car and shot the suspect, who died at the scene.

The trooper, a 27-year veteran, was shot in the chest and shoulder. He is in serious and stable condition, Cecil said.

The trooper was identified Friday as Ed Andersson.

Col. Frank Milstead, director of the Public Safety Department, said he would like to thank the man who stepped in. "I don't know that my trooper would be alive today without his assistance," he said, according to CNN affiliate KNXV-TV in Phoenix.

Unusual circumstances

Public safety spokesman Bart Graves said the incident began with the trooper responding to report of shots fired from the median of an unlit, rural section of Interstate 10 near Tonopah. Andersson came across a vehicle that had rolled over and got out to investigate. While Andersson was setting flares, the suspect shot him.

It was not clear where the suspect was when the officer pulled up.

Milstead said at some point the suspect started beating Andersson, who was unable to use his right arm to defend himself. That's when the motorist pulled up and opened fire on the suspect.

"It's fairly rare" that citizens who come to the aid of law enforcement officers use deadly force, Cecil said.

Another motorist who stopped used the trooper's portable radio to call in the shooting.

The conversation between that driver and the dispatcher was very businesslike, Cecil said.

"Hello. Officer down, officer down outside Tonopah. Come in, please," the man says, according to audio archived on Broadcastify, which streams radio communications between emergency responders. "He's in real bad shape. Please send air support, helicopter, please."

He tells the dispatcher there are two other people who are down in an "unknown condition."

Cecil praised the motorists who stopped to help, saying, "They were calm, determined."

A woman who was ejected from the vehicle died at a hospital, authorities said.

Authorities didn't release the names of the people involved in the incident, which occurred after 4 a.m. near mile marker 89, west of Tonopah. That city is about 50 miles west of Phoenix.

CNN's Keith Allen contributed to this report.
