A Paulding County sheriff's deputy sits Friday, Sept. 21, 2012, outside the suburban home in Dallas, Ga., about 30 miles outside Atlanta, where authorities say Paul and Sheila Comer kept their 18-year-old son in a bedroom for about two years before the emaciated teenager was placed on a bus to Los Angeles by his stepfather. Los Angeles police said the teen told officers his stepfather gave him $200 and a list of homeless shelters before he was put on a bus to California on his 18th birthday. The couple faced charges of false imprisonment and cruelty to children, Paulding County jail records show.
