Liberty County mom arrested after twin girls found locked in a room

Police arrested a Liberty County woman whose two young children were found locked in a room, naked and without food or water.

Brandy Dominguez, 20, was taken into custody about 1:15 p.m. Tuesday after Liberty County Sheriff's deputies served an arrest warrant at her home in the 200 block of County Road 2283.

Prosecutors charged her with abandonment/endangering a child by criminal negligence, authorities said.

Dominguez is on pre-trial release on a human trafficking charge. The children, twin 2-year-old girls, were discovered in unsanitary conditions when federal probation officers made a check at the home.

Dominguez was not home when the probation officers arrived. Her sister, Amy Castillo, allowed them inside where they later found the naked children in a locked room.

They had no toys, water, food or means to use the bathroom, officials said.

Castillo was taken into custody at that time and also charged with child endangerment.

Dominguez was taken to the Liberty County Jail where she is being held without bail on the state jail felony.
