Two parents have been arrested after their young daughter was brought to a local hospital underweight and extremely malnourished.
According to a press release, Lafayette Police say they received a complaint from the Department of Children and Family Services after the 5-year-old turned up at the hospital on June 24, nearly two weeks ago.
