squarely on the father, jonathan michael allen of fairfield who was arrested and charged with nine counts of felony torture and six counts of felony child abuse. now, rogers did provide these photos of a room she claims allen worshipped the devil. >> he would take the baby and slap it in the face and put duct tape on the baby's mouth to shut it up and beat them up for the baby crying and waking him up. >> reporter: the investigation into the family's home here in fairfield began in march when the mother, 30-year-old ina rogers reported her 12-year-old son missing. after police located the boy and returned him to the home they called child protective services after finding garbage, spoiled food as well as feces on the floor. now rogers was arrested for child neglect but released after posting bail. rogers denies these allegations against her and her husband calling them ludicrous. her husband's bail is set at

few things dropped and it sounded like a loud boom. >> no reports of damage but b.a.r.t. briefly stopped its trains as it usually does to check those tracks. 5:36 right now. more the of the same in hawaii but it is absolutely terrifying. people living on the big island still bracing for the big one. kilauea could erupt on a scale not seen in nearly a century and could happen any time. geologists fear a lava inside the crater drains into cooler ground water below. that could trigger a catastrophic stream explosion, potentially launching boulders the size of cars into the air and like flaming missiles, which terrifies people in the three-mile blast zone. >> scares me to death. >> a lot of people are really freaking out. >> it's kind of hard to ignore it because it makes me emotional thinking about it. >> and while people wait for
