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.
According to reports, three adults, six dogs, three cats, and three children ages 2, 4, and 18 months live together in a doublewide trailer in Stillwater.
The Stillwater Police Detective Sergeant stated, “We could not complete the walk-through without taking breaks outside for fresh air. I noticed there actually was carpet in the living room. It was saturated with so much urine and feces and walked all over that it was smashed down to a hard surface. My boots stuck to the flooring.” There was also feces smeared all over the walls and holes in the drywall.
