Deputies said they received a call early Saturday from a citizen involved who said their two young children had been abandoned in Waldo.
The Sheriff’s Office went to the 13,500 block of Northeastern Highway 301 in the US and met two witnesses who said they had found a five-year-old child inside the shed.

Witnesses said the children were trapped inside the shed and inside the shed with bricks placed at the door to prevent them from leaving.
There was no electricity or running water in the shed. Children had no way to seek food or help.
The sheriff’s office said the big knife was also out of reach of children.
Deputies said Tamara Stoyber, 37, was caring for Sabine Thrift, 59, leaving the children behind. However, Thrift is said to have refused to see them.
Stoiber reportedly told law enforcement officials that she not only left for business immediately, but she went for several hours.

The lawmaker said Stoyber “leaved the children without proper supervision or basic necessities, including access to food, water and telephones.
Stoiber was charged with two counts of child negligence and two counts of false imprisonment.
