Two parents who let five children aged under 12 live in squalor in a foul-smelling home have been jailed. After the alarm was raised, investigators found a squalid scene.
They found mouldy food, only four beds for seven people and a "vile" smell. Human waste was smeared on walls close to where toothbrushes were kept.
To make matter worse, Hull Crown Court was told that the parents openly smoked cannabis in front of the children, a girl had been assaulted and a boy was banned from using the toilet at night so had to urinate in his room. The mother now had yet another child - her sixth - but he was likely to be removed from her indefinitely, the court was told, reports HullLive.
