Police in Pennsylvania arrested two parents after finding their seven children living in what authorities described as “unsanitary” and “unsafe living conditions” – which included caged rats and feces on the home’s floor.
The mother, Crystal Robertson, told police she had to lock the refrigerator because the children were “‘stealing’ everything and referred to the children as ‘garbage disposals with legs,’” according to the affidavit.
A later investigation revealed none of the seven children had attended school and lacked basic knowledge, according to authorities.
Authorities said medical evaluations concluded the children were “clinically underweight and malnourished.”
