14 counts of criminal abuse and five counts of wanton endangerment have been filed against a Warren County couple who left 19 children unattended for nearly a week.
A concerned neighbor called police to check on the children, who ranged in age from eight months to 14 years. The couple had asked the neighbor to look in on the kids while they left town due to a family emergency. Detective Sergeant Tim Robinson of the Warren County Sheriff’s Office says the home was filthy.
"The conditions of the house were deplorable- a lot of animal feces. There was no air conditioning. It was over 90 degrees (with the doors open). There was no food."
