Farmer jailed for chaining son to bed to keep him from garden
A 63 year old farmer began a 10 day jail sentence after chaining his 22 year old son Roy to a bed for a month to stop him from trampling the garden. The father Daniel Day said it was to prevent him from being sent to a state institution where he had been a patient. The son is described as mentally unstable. Authorities sought hospitalization but state hospitals are crowded.
