A shocking case has come to light in Pontiac, Michigan, where a mother stands accused of abandoning her three children in a home that was in a state of utter disarray. According to reports, the 34-year-old woman left her teenage son, now aged 15, and two daughters, aged 14 and 13, in a home that was described as being in a 'deplorable shape' for almost four years. It is believed that the mother only stopped by occasionally to drop off food supplies.
The authorities were alerted to the situation by the landlord of the home, who reported not hearing from the mother since December and not receiving rent payments since October. As a result, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office conducted a welfare check on the home last Friday. Upon entering the premises, they were met with a horrific scene. The home was covered in filth and feces, with garbage piled up to four feet high in some rooms. Mold and human waste were found throughout, and the toilet was overflowing, with feces even being found in the bathtub.
Sheriff Michael Bouchard, who was in charge of the investigation, stated that the living conditions in the home were 'deplorable and intolerable for an animal', let alone three innocent children. He described the scene as 'utterly unacceptable' and one of the worst he has ever encountered in his extensive career. According to authorities, the children were found wearing soiled clothing, with toenails that were a few inches long and matted hair. The teenage boy was sleeping on a mattress on the floor, while his sisters were sleeping on pizza boxes.
As if the deplorable living conditions were not enough, it was also revealed that the mother had not left any personal hygiene items for her children, such as toilet paper. The children were forced to stay at home and abandoned their education, instead spending their days watching TV and playing games. Neighbors in the area reported occasionally seeing the mother drop off items, but they were unaware that the children were living inside, and they never saw the kids outside.
On Friday, the children were taken to a hospital for evaluation and have since been placed with a relative by Child Protective Services. As for the mother, who has not been named, she was arrested at a different location. During questioning, she claimed that the father of her children was no longer in the picture. The severity of this case has left the community in shock, and authorities are determined to ensure that justice is served. As Sheriff Bouchard stated, this is a scenario that involves abandonment, neglect, and abuse of the highest order, and it is something that he has never encountered before.
