“A Pontiac mother has been arrested after abandoning her three kids in a home in the city for 4-5 years, the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office tells us. Officials say that the children were left in squalor, surviving on weekly drop-offs of prepared food. First responders said that four feet piles of garbage were found in some rooms. Mold and human excrement was found throughout the house, Deputies were called to a home in the 600 block of Lydia Lane on Friday afternoon to perform a welfare check and found the children — a 15-year-old boy, a 13-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl — all by themselves. The sisters were locked in a bathroom when police arrived. The landlord of the home told police that he had not heard from the mother since December, with rent last being paid back in October.” – Detroit News | Posted by Thrillz
