Foster parents accused of abusing children


Maria and Robert Salinas SAN ANTONIO -- A San Antonio couple has been indicted on charges of beating and starving some foster children who were in their care.

Court documents show Robert Salinas, 40, and Maria Salinas, 39, are accused of choking, pushing, and striking a little boy and girl using their hands and a belt.

Police say one of the foster children had bruises on the face and scars along the back, buttocks, chest and neck. The Salinas's are also accused of starving that child.

A San Antonio Police spokesman told News 4 WOAI a Child Protective Service investigator spotted the injuries during a home visit back in 2008. He says the young siblings were quickly removed from the couple's house and placed into different foster homes.

This case has been under investigation for more than two years, according to investigators. Detectives say it took them a while to track down the children and gather the evidence needed to finally put the Salinas's in jail.
