KISSIMMEE -- Two more people were arrested Sunday in a case of suspected child abuse in Osceola County.

On Saturday, Sameena Jaweed, 41, was charged with child abuse after a tip from the Department of Children and Families led them to her home on Warrior Lane.

Investigators said there was evidence four children at the home between 12 and 17 years old were being abused.

Investigators also arrested the children’s older brother, Farqan Jaweed, 22, and father, Sadaqat Jaweed, on Sunday.

Investigators said all three may have had a hand in the abuse.

"There was physical abuse; there was evidence of physical abuse. Also, the home was very unsanitary. The conditions were deplorable," said Twis Lizasuain, spokeswoman for the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies said they found locks on doors to keep the children in their rooms.
    
Charges in the case range from child abuse to battery and false imprisonment.
