A Pennsylvania man has been charged with child endangerment after multiple minors were found in a room in his apartment that contained nothing but a mattress, roaches, Plan B and condom wrappers, police said.
They were discovered after police went searching for a missing boy who later said he was ‘attacked and force to strip down,’ according to authorities.
Tyron Scott, 24, of Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania – a suburb of Pittsburgh – has been charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of children, one count of recklessly endangering another person, and one count of corruption of minors after at least three juveniles were found in his home on Center Street.
Wilkinsburg police arrived at Scott’s residence after they responded to a request from the Pittsburgh police about a missing boy allegedly being held against his will at Scott’s address.
When authorities arrived, they found minors hiding in the home, including two female minors. It’s unknown exactly how many minors were in the home at the time or how old they are.
The missing boy, who was not named nor was his age given, had eventually escaped from the house before police arrived and was later found at a local Save A Lot supermarket, roughly two minutes away.
He told authorities that he was ‘jumped’ by minors he did not know, was forced to strip off his clothing, was sprayed in the face with cologne, and was forced to drink unknown liquids.

Police arrived at the residence after a missing boy’s brother alerted police he saw a video on Facebook of the boy being attacked. The boy, who was not named, managed to escape to a nearby Save A Lot (pictured) and told police he was ‘jumped’ by a group of minors he didn’t know, forced to strip off his clothing, was sprayed in the face with cologne, and forced to drink unknown liquids
Police confirmed that Scott’s daughter, who was also not named, participated in the attack while Scott watched. It is unknown how old his daughter is.
The boy was later transported to a hospital to be treated for his injuries. The severity of his injuries is unknown.
Police received a tip of the boy’s location from his brother, who said he saw a video of the attack on Facebook and reported it to police.
Two other female minors were found inside the home and both had been reported missing.
They gave police fake names, but were later discovered to be reported missing from McKeesport and Pittsburgh.
The girls were found inside a room that only had a mattress in it and they were surrounded by Plan B, condom wrappers and roaches, according to police.
Scott is currently being held at an unknown jail and awaiting a preliminary hearing, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
