Young parents from Florida have been arrested after their six-year-old son was found unconscious with his head stuck in a motel toilet.

The boy who had his head in the toilet bowl was rescued before he died, and five younger children, who were apparently abused as well, were saved from the Florida couple before more harm could come to the little ones.

Young parents from Florida have been arrested after their six-year-old son was found unconscious with his head stuck in a motel toilet.

The boy who had his head in the toilet bowl was rescued before he died, and five younger children, who were apparently abused as well, were saved from the Florida couple before more harm could come to the little ones.

As a result of the condition of the children, Larry Rhodes Jr, 22, and Bianca Blaise, 25, were each charged with six counts of child abuse.

The couple was in Kissimmee, Florida, when the heinous crimes were discovered at the motel.

The couple has since been arrested and were taken into custody on July 5, 2022, when sheriff’s deputies from the local area arrived at the motel and found the six-year-old boy with his head stuck in the toilet bowl.

When the boy was found by deputies, he did not have a pulse.

His eyes were also reportedly swollen due to the abuse he incurred at the hands of the Florida couple responsible for his wellbeing.

The boy was quickly rushed to the Arnold Palmer Hospital and is currently on life support. Doctors found him to have suffered a “life-threatening brain bleed” as a result of the mistreatment from his parents.

The cops asked the couple what had happened.

They claimed that the six-year-old boy got into a fight with his four-year-old brother.

The two apparently liked to mimic professional wrestling moves and were playing rough inside the motel room.

The four-year-old sibling was found to have bruises and “fresh cuts around the mouth.”

When the emergency medical services professionals asked the boy what happened, he simply stated that “Dad hit me.”

Court records indicate that Rhodes and Blaise were each charged with six counts of child negligence, batter, and abuse.

They had been living in the motel with their entire family, which included eight other people.

Of the ten people living in the motel, many were children – not all were children of Rhodes and Blaise.

Blaise reportedly worked as an Uber driver and a Shipt worker while Rhodes stayed home with the children and watched over them.

According to Daily Mail, the couple had been together for seven years at the time of their arrest in Florida.

The mother claimed that she had gone to a facility for drug testing on the morning of July 5, 2022.

When she returned to the motel room, she reportedly found Rhodes asleep while her six-year-old son had his “head in the toilet” as though he were “drinking water” out of the bowl.

Blaise denied that there was abuse in the family.

However, she later admitted that Rhodes “whoops” their children with a woman’s sandal occasionally as a form of discipline.

Rhodes allegedly ran out of prescription medication for schizophrenia and had been out of meds for about two weeks.

When police began investigating the couple, they found that other children at the motel had injuries and marks on their bodies that were consistent with a woman’s sandal.
