For instance, the father was the only one being seen by neighbors during those three years, who reportedly left the house only to collect deliveries and mail—the children and their mother, on the other hand, were nowhere to be seen.
When police finally decided to intervene on April 28, they found no resistance from either parent. “Be careful,” the mother told the officers. “My children are very sick.”

Inside, the home was in disarray. Filled with trash, boxes of medication, and a large number of medical masks, the scene was described as “clearly unsanitary” by investigators and a “health and safety risk” for the minors.
Heartwrenching pictures show that the children were “living among feces” and had been sleeping in cribs. Their rooms were also filled with disturbing images, providing a deeply disturbing look at their mental state—drawings of monsters and defaced dolls.

Beyond the dirt and mental anguish, the children were described to have been found “in terrible shape” by officers.
“They were not malnourished, because they were fed. But they were dirty and completely cut off from reality,” one of the investigators said.
“And not just because they didn’t go to school. When we took them out of the house, into the garden, where they wouldn’t even go outside, they saw a snail and went crazy, freaked out.”
