An Indiana man is facing charges after police said he beat children and chained them to their beds.

According to a report by Fox 59, Ryan Alexander Hubertz Bass, 28, faces three counts of criminal confinement, one count of battery resulting in bodily injury to a person less than 14 years of age and three counts of neglect of a dependent.

One of the victims is younger than 8 years old, another is younger than 6 and a third is younger than 3, police said.

The investigation began on Jan. 21, when police were called to a home on a report of a battery. The caller said he went to a home and noticed bruising on a child's head.

An officer went to that home and confirmed a child had bruising on the forehead, nose and under the eyes. The child's mother told police she didn't know how it happened, but knew Bass was the primary caretaker of the children in the home. When she asked him about the bruising, Bass didn't answer, according to court documents.

Officers saw a chain and pad lock chained around a bed post in a bedroom. upon further inspection, they found another chain and padlock, along with a loaded handgun and large knife in plain view.

Police conducted an interview with the child, who said Bass hit him or her in the face and arms several times with his hand. Court documents indicate Bass would chain the victim up, along with two other victims. Chains would be put around the neck, causing pain.

Officers found there were four children living at the home, but the three involved in this case were not his children.

One of the victims said the children would be told to lie on the floor and not move. If they disobeyed, they would be hit with a belt, according to court documents.

A witness told police he saw Bass chain the youngest victim to a bed to "keep him from getting into things."

When police spoke with Bass' fiance, she said she was aware Bass had hit the initial victim in the past, and knew the youngest victim had been chained to the bed. She said this practice started after the child ran out of the house and was nearly hit by a car. Court documents show the last time the victim ran out of the house was in the summer of 2019.

Officers then spoke with Bass, who allegedly admitted to striking the children and chaining one to the bed.

The children's mother told police that Bass, 28, was the children's primary caregiver in their home in the 3200 block of South 18th Street, according to the affidavit.

The mother is a monster for letting it happen! Charge her as well! Children from a different relationship?
A friend of the children's mother reported to police on Jan. 21 that he noticed bruising on the face of one of the children, which then sent officers to the house.

Thank you decent human and child protector over friendship!
The person who reported the alleged abuse told police Bass is not the father of the children, and that he started chaining the youngest child to the bed to keep the child from getting into things.

Question answered.. of course he's not the father!
Bass' fiance, who is not the children's mother, told police Bass started chaining one of the children to the bed to keep the child from running out of the house and into traffic, which happened last summer, according to the affidavit.
