In a disturbing incident, two Henderson parents, Misty Scanlan, 46, and Jeffery Scanlan, 41, have been apprehended on suspicion of child abuse. The arrest transpired after the Henderson Police Department, in collaboration with the Clark County School District Police Department, investigated a truancy issue involving their 11-year-old child. Upon arriving at the family’s residence located in the 2000 block of Silverton Drive, authorities were met with distressing conditions. They discovered the child living within a large metal enclosure, with the living conditions deemed ‘inhospitable.’ Child Protective Services promptly responded to assist in the situation. Misty and Jeffery Scanlan were immediately taken into custody and booked into the Henderson Detention Center, each facing a single charge of child abuse/neglect. The ongoing investigation has prevented the release of further details. Anyone possessing pertinent information is strongly urged to contact the Henderson Police Department at 702-267-4911 or 3-1-1. Alternatively, those seeking anonymity can reach out to Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 or visit their website, crimestoppersofnv.com. The Scanlans have since secured their release on bail, but the investigation remains active.
