A couple in West Virginia was jailed when the authorities allegedly discovered their child living in the household which was reportedly found in an inexcusable environment filled with excrement and drug paraphernalia.

Last Saturday in Gilmer County, the authorities received a call from someone asking them to check on a situation regarding the suspected child neglect of a youngster. West Virginia State Police Gilmer County troopers were sent to the address to investigate.

When they reached the apartment complex, a bystander informed the troopers that they saw a child playing alone in the rain. They also asserted that they did not think the youngster was dressed warmly enough for the 48-degree temperature.
