Child Neglect Reported – Children Removed

Two children were removed from a situation due to “Neglect.”  On January 2nd, the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department was called to a location in southern Livingston County after a citizen reported possible child neglect. The report indicated 2 small children were found to be in grotesque conditions with horrible odors.

Deputies also found the “home” had no running water and the occupants were utilizing buckets for all their needs.

Two small children were removed and taken to Hedrick Medical Center for examination. The children had reportedly been at the location since December 31st, when one or more caretakers had dropped the kids off so they could go party.  Division of Family Services was notified, as was Senior Services due to the living conditions for an elderly resident.

Sheriff Steve Cox says reports indicate the father has one or more outstanding arrest warrant.  The investigation continues.
