Florida authorities have rescued four children from what they have called a “house of horrors” – where they had been sleeping on flea-ridden mattresses and in urine-soaked conditions. ​

Four people have been charged in connection with the investigation, which kicked off when officials from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office visited an address in Florahome, around 60 miles from Jacksonville.
