A cruel dad who left his kids living in "squalor" in his disgusting house had previously gushed about changing the lives of struggling youngsters.
Lee Carnell, 32, and his ex-girlfriend Sarah Lamb, 33, both admitted to a string of child cruelty offences which involved five children, four girls and a boy after authorities exposed a house of horrors in a 2019 raid when the alarm was raised.
Officers were shocked to discover human excrement smeared on walls next to toothbrushes, dirty nappies everywhere, a foul smell and a plague of flies.
