A mother from Michigan is accused of child abuse after allegedly leaving her children alone for 4 years.

Kelli Marie Bryant, a 34-year-old mother, has recently been accused of neglecting her children and leaving them to live alone in a rundown home in Pontiac, Michigan for a shocking four years. The judge presiding over her case, Ronda Gross, arraigned her on three counts of first-degree child abuse on February 20th.

According to the Associated Press, last week, police discovered Bryant's children living in unimaginable conditions. The situation was so dire that police evidence technicians had to wear hazmat suits to enter the premises. Bryant, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against her.

In response to her plea, Judge Gross set a cash bond of $250 million. This amount may seem high, but it's due to Bryant's past behavior. The mother reportedly has two different home addresses and has previously shown signs of being a flight risk. As she awaits her next court appearance on March 4th, Bryant has been ordered to have no contact with any children if she is released on bail.

As reported by Fox 2 Detroit, Bryant's three children, aged 15, 13, and 12, were discovered living in a filthy Pontiac home on February 14th. It was Bryant's landlord who called for a welfare check after she had not paid rent for months. Upon entering the home, the sheriff's office described the conditions as "squalor." The rooms were filled with garbage, mold, and even human feces. The children had no access to a functioning bathroom or basic hygiene products, and they mostly slept on the floor.

It was also revealed that the children had not attended school since their mother left and had not even stepped outside their home in several years. Pontiac Sheriff Mike Bouchard expressed his disgust at the situation, stating, "This situation would be deemed deplorable and intolerable for an animal, and it is utterly unacceptable for three children. They have been deprived of any interaction with their mother and have not received an education for years."

On a related note, actor and television host Nick Cannon recently reflected on his journey with lupus, comparing himself to the fictional character Tony Stark.
