FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — An Indiana man forced his young grandsons for miles along a sun-baked Grand Canyon hiking trail and denied them water and food, saying later he wanted to toughen them up, according to authorities.
Christopher Carlson of Indianapolis remained jailed Thursday on six counts of child abuse. The boys, ages 12, 9 and 8, told investigators that they had been hit, pushed, choked, pinched and squeezed during trips into the canyon from the South Rim last month.
