    A Michigan woman accused of leaving three children to live alone for
    years in a house teeming with trash and feces was charged Wednesday with
    child abuse, five days after police opened the door and discovered stomach-turning filth.

    Kelli Bryant, 34, was identified by Oakland County prosecutors Wednesday
    as the mother of the three children left to live in squalor in the
    suburban Detroit residence. She is in custody awaiting a court hearing.

    “These three kids were entrusted to the care of their mother … and the evidence suggests that she effectively abandoned them to a revolting pit
    of refuse and squalor,” said Karen McDonald, the Oakland County
    prosecutor in suburban Detroit.

    “What stands out the most for me is, no love,” McDonald said later
    during a news conference. “There was nobody there to care for them.”

    The siblings — a 15-year-old boy and two girls, ages 12 and 13 — were hiding when police entered the Pontiac home Friday after a call from the landlord, who had not been paid since October.

    “Police were astonished to find anyone in the location, because it
    appeared to be uninhabitable with piles of garbage and refuse several
    feet high,” McDonald said, noting that the toilet was not working.

    The children were covered with feces, and the girls had trouble walking
    outside the home, she said. At a hospital they struggled with flushing a
    toilet and brushing their teeth “because they had not done it in years,” the prosecutor added.

    McDonald said the children likely had been alone since 2020 or 2021, communicating with Bryant only through text messages when they needed
    food. She was living elsewhere in Pontiac, 20 miles north of Detroit.
