Two parents in West Virginia are facing criminal charges after the authorities reportedly began investigating concerns about the living conditions of their two children.

Sources reported that on February 10, staff members at the Doddridge County Early Learning Academy in West Union, West Virginia, contacted law enforcement after allegedly discovering cockroaches inside the backpack of a student. The authorities stated that school employees also reportedly saw what appeared to be bug bites on the boy’s face, hands, and lower body. In addition, the child’s sister, who is also a student at the school, allegedly told a teacher that her clothing was very dirty and asked if they would help her wash it. School officials reportedly became concerned about the children’s overall hygiene and well-being.

Deputies with the Doddridge County Sheriff’s Office began investigating the situation and later referred the matter to Child Protective Services. Authorities stated that a CPS representative visited the family’s home and allegedly found what was described as extremely poor and unsanitary living conditions. Following that visit, both children were reportedly removed from the residence and placed in the care of CPS.

An Arizona couple is accused of confining their two young children in a bedroom around the clock under reportedly extreme and unsanitary conditions, according to investigators.

Sources report police were alerted after a concerned person noticed a naked child through an apartment window while working nearby. That tip prompted officers to conduct a welfare check in late January. When they arrived, they allegedly found conditions that raised concerns about the children’s safety and development.

Investigators reportedly discovered that the children, ages 4 and 6, were kept inside a single room for most or all of the day. The room allegedly contained a gate, and the bathroom was reportedly blocked off with zip ties placed on the doorknob, preventing the children from using the toilet. Officers also allegedly observed widespread filth inside the apartment, including feces and an insect infestation.

A criminal case in Texas developed after authorities raised concerns about the welfare of a very young child who was reportedly left without adult supervision.

According to court records, police were contacted on September 20 after residents at an apartment complex in Abilene reported concerns involving a small child who appeared to be alone. When officers arrived, they were directed to a toddler who had been seen without a caregiver in a shared area of the complex. The child, believed to be about three years old, appeared to need attention and care, prompting neighbors to seek help.

As officers worked to determine who was responsible for the child, their investigation led them to a nearby apartment, which was believed to be connected to the situation. Police reportedly entered the residence and found that no adults were present. The child did not show signs of physical injury, though officers noted that they appeared to have been left unattended for some time.

A Florida mother is facing criminal charges after her young autistic son was nearly beaten to death, reportedly by her boyfriend. However, her attorney says the mother is also a victim of abuse.

The case began earlier this month when police responded to a home in Miami after a report of a 6-year-old child in cardiac arrest. When officers arrived, the boy had no pulse.
