Court documents reveal daring escape of twin siblings from abusive home in Cypress. This is what happened

A shocking story of escape has surfaced from Cypress in Texas. According to the court documents, twin siblings escaped their abusive home in Cypress in a daring way. The teen boy had hid the key to the restraints on his wrists in his mouth.

He kept waiting for his mother and her boyfriend to go to sleep so he could manage to unlock the handcuffs on their wrists and run away. The details were revealed in legal documents filed against their mother. She is waiting for her extradition from Louisiana to Harris County.

The siblings' mother, Zaikiya Duncan (40), and her boyfriend, Jova Terrell (27), is being charged under a child injury case in Harris County. Both were brought under custody in Baton Rouge on Tuesday while fleeing with her five other children and ringing an Amber Alert. Bond was denied for both in courtroom.


In a recent interview with the detectives, the 16-year-old teens said they had caustic oven cleaner sprayed in their mouths, were forced to drink bleach and were beaten and burned routinely. They were kept in a laundry room and were allowed to drink water from a valve used for the washing machine supply. The teens were not given food and faced extreme harassment.




Almost a decade ago, Duncan was arrested for cruelty to a child in Baton Rouge. As a part of probation, she took a parenting class and her charge was reduced.

Court documents state that the child abuse has been on since July. Both children are now in CPS custody.
