A Keithville couple is in jail, charged with cruelty to a 5-year-old boy.

Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator says 21-year-old Rebecca Clark and 25-year-old Joshua Phillips were being investigated, after family members sought medical attention for the boy in another parish. The child had bruises on his face and upper body, a black eye and hair missing from his scalp.

Clark and Phillips live together in the 13000 block of John Gins Road in Keithville. They turned themselves in to authorities and have been booked into Caddo Correctional Center.
