A Michigan woman has been charged with child abuse after authorities discovered three children living in appalling conditions in a house in Pontiac, Michigan. The 34-year-old mother is accused of leaving her three children, a 15-year-old boy and two girls aged 12 and 13, to fend for themselves in a home filled with trash and feces.
The shocking discovery was made when police responded to a call from the landlord, who had not received rent payments since October. Upon entering the residence, officers were met with a scene of unimaginable squalor, with piles of garbage and refuse reaching several feet high. The children were found hiding in the home, covered in feces and struggling to move around due to the unsanitary conditions.
