Police were sent to do a welfare check on the children at the home in the 300 block of East Euclid Avenue on April 17. Officers found three children in the living room, which allegedly had trash, animals, dirty clothing and cockroaches.
The urine smell made breathing difficult, police said in court records. There were four dogs in the kitchen, which also had dog feces smudged and animal urine on the floor.
Officers attempted to walk upstairs, but the stairway was unsafe because it was saturated with urine, court records say. The children’s bedrooms were messy with trash and dirty clothes, police alleged, and the children only had dog-pillow like padding to sleep on. The bathrooms reportedly had broken toilets and the sink was filled with water and dead cockroaches.
The children were placed in the care of family members, according to court records.
