A California couple has been arrested and charged with kidnapping and torturing a 17-year old boy who fled from their home Monday, bloodied with bruises, clad only in flesh-colored boxer shorts and shackled at the ankle.
A California couple is arrested after locked up boy flees alleged abuse. "The staff noticed blood and bruising on his body, and he looked emaciated and had a chain locked to his ankle," said Matt Robinson, spokesman for the Tracy Police Department.
"The boy was confused and didn't know where he was or how long he had been held against his will," he told ABCNews.com.
The boy, covered in soot, urine and feces, arrived at the In-Shape City Sports Club around 4 p.m. Monday begging an employee to hide him, according to Robinson.

A girl scout leader and her husband are also in custody. They were booked on suspicion of torture, kidnapping and child abuse after the bruised, terrified teen turned up half-naked late Monday afternoon at the In-Shape Sports Club on Tracy Boulevard in downtown Tracy.
The couple's four young children, two of whom were home when police arrived, have been placed with Child Protective Services, authorities said.
On her MySpace Web page, Lau described herself as a stay-at-home mom and said her husband worked as a contractor. She posted many photos of her family, friends and pets.
Lau started serving as a local Girl Scout leader sometime in September, according to the head of the group's regional chapter.
A background check performed before making Lau a Scout leader turned up nothing to cause concern, said Pam Saltenberger, chief executive of Girl Scouts Heart of Central California.
The family's tidy two-story house was decked with two large Christmas wreaths on the front doors. No one answered Tuesday when reporters knocked on the front door.
According to neighbors, the couple seemed to lead lives that revolved around their kids
You just never know who you can trust and you have to be very leary of all people your kids are around.
