Police believe mother Mabel Jo Larsen, 32, and the baby's father, Aaron Michael Parker, 34, kept the child a secret after Child Protective Services took away five of their other children.

Both parents plead guilty to child injury last year and officials found evidence of narcotics at the residence.

Both are on probation for previous child abuse and neglect cases, investigators said.

Three years ago, Child Protective Services removed five other children from the home.

A 10-year-old was found to have suffered emotional and physical abuse.

'She was skin and bones. She was being held to a weigh bench with zip ties,' said neighbor Shanna Hopkins to KHOU.

CPS was shocked to hear that another child was in their care.

How horrible! My heart breaks for these children and for those who can't have children and want them so much.

All children need to be brought up in a home with love and caring. And we wonder why there are so many criminals. (not giving all a pass) but I can't see a happy outcome for children brought up in such horrible conditions.

Children need to be loved and nurtured. Boundries yes, but safe ones, without abuse.

Sorry, but it just gets to be too much sometimes. JMO

Once cps has to step in and remove someone children like was done here, the mother AND father should be surgically sterilized. They've proven they don't know how to take care of a child, and in this case they had more than one chance.

Early childhood neglect can seriously screw kids up.
