"A woman and her two children were held captive for more than two years in a Virginia home before escaping when deputies arrived to check on their welfare, authorities said.
The woman, 32, was hospitalized in serious condition with untreated health issues, and her children were staying with family members after also receiving medical attention, The Free Lance-Star reported.
Investigators believe the children, ages 8 and 11, have never attended school, Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Lt. Charles A. Carey said.
Deputies were sent to the home after a caller expressed concern that no one had seen or heard from the family in quite some time, he said.
The woman and her children ran out a side door as deputies spoke with Kariem Ali Muhammad Moore, who had been reluctant to let them inside, the sheriff's office said."
