Three children were found living in “absolute squalor” in a Michigan
home riddled with mold and human waste after their mother abandoned them
and left them to live on their own without soap or toilet paper for at
least four years, authorities said.
The 34-year-old mother, who has not been identified as she shares the
same name with one of her children, was arrested Friday, the Oakland
County Sheriff’s Office said.
Human waste, mold, and garbage piles towering up to four feet tall were
found throughout the Pontiac rental home where the children survived on
food their mother or a stranger dropped off each week.
The children, a 15-year-old boy, and two girls, ages 12 and 13, had been
alone in the home without supervision since either 2020 or 2021, the boy
told deputies, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies found the home in “deplorable shape” when responding to a
welfare check requested by their landlord, who was concerned something
happened because he had not heard from the mother since December and had
not received a rent payment since October.
“Garbage was piled as high as four feet in some rooms, mold and human
waste was found throughout, with the toilet overflowing and feces in the bathtub,” the sheriff’s office said. “Deputies checked the residence for occupants and found the boy and his sisters.”
While food was dropped off weekly, the children received no personal
hygiene products or toilet paper. They were found wearing soiled
clothing, their hair matted and with toenails so long it was difficult
for them to walk, according to cops.
The children also seemed “unfamiliar with how to use personal hygiene items” and did not know how to flush a toilet, according to authorities.
They had also been out of school for years — instead spending their days watching television and playing games. Authorities said it also appeared
as though the girls had not been outside in years.
The boy slept on a mattress on the floor while the two girls slept on
pizza boxes — and authorities said the conditions inside were so poor an evidence technician had to don a HAZMAT suit to process the scene.
