Two Muncie parents are in jail on charges that they nearly starved their two young children.

Amy Doty and Jason Doty were arrested Friday. They are being held in the Delaware County Jail without bond.

According to police, hospital officials reported the family after the children, a 19-month-old and a four-year-old, were treated for malnutrition.

Investigators say both parents told them they moved to Missouri in March to follow a church ministry but had run out of money.

Child Protective Services took custody of both children.
