"Parents Charged After 7 Children Found Living in Deplorable Conditions with Rats and Padlocked Fridge"

Two parents in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, have been charged with seven counts of endangering the welfare of their children after authorities found several of their children living in deplorable conditions in a crumbling home. The children were unwashed, uneducated, and critically malnourished, and some had low kidney function, COVID-19, sunburned scalps, and ringworm. The family also kept two dozen caged rats in a room, as well as dogs, turtles, rabbits, toads, snakes, and a 4-foot reptile under one roof. All seven children were placed into foster care, and the parents have been released on bail.
