"Milwaukee's 'House of Horrors': Feces, Trash, and Bugs Infestations Uncovered by Police"

A police report reveals the horrifying conditions inside a Milwaukee home where two boys, aged seven and nine, were locked in a windowless bedroom covered in feces. The house was described as a "house of horrors" with stacks of garbage, insects crawling around, and a terrible odor. The boys escaped naked and bedraggled by smashing a window. The parents, Katie Koch and Joel Manke, were arrested and face multiple charges. The children appeared to have been living in squalor for years, lacking basic care and medical attention. If convicted, the parents could face lengthy prison terms and substantial fines.
