@Ingrid

As a single mother of an autistic son I am offended and appalled that you would use that as an excuse to neglect a child. I assure you that my son always has clothes on and a spotless home to live in. I work 24 hr shifts every third day to support him and also carry a gun. I have a safe I put the gun in when it’s not on my hip. Grow up and put your big girl pants on!! Stop blaming other’s for decisions made by bad people.

ingrid, the child’s mental state has nothing to with why it is in nothing but diapers, and everything to do with the parents issues. plenty of developmentally challenged children wear clothes. Having a helpless child in squalor (feces, roaches, rats) means that the “parents” (I used that term very loosely) are not loving or taking care of him. the ESCO has no reason to go into someones house and make the living situation deplorable. what is your thought process? they just decided to pick on these people? then gathered up feces, rats, and roaches and carried it into the house then take time to distribute those items through the house all while also placing drugs, paraphernalia, and a weapon in the house just to lock these people up? that makes sense to you?

@Gayle. How is it you can blame the grandparent? Grandparents have zero rights in this state. Until Children services takes the kids, grand parents can do nothing! You can report them to DCS and the parent she and kid up and move or disappear. They can refuse to allow you to see the child or their home. Grand parents may not know of the condition and in some cases don’t even know of the child’s existence. You don’t know the relationship between the mother and grandmother.
Thankfully DCS located a family member to care for the child immediately. Foster care in our are is lacking, too many children and not enough willing and loving homes. If this appalls you, then check out becoming a foster parent and become part of making these kid’s lives better. Sadly, as a grandparent you have zero say and authority in a grandchild’s life. When it comes down to it, you can only hound DCS until they catch up with the scum that does this. The parents are the sole people responsible and should NEVER be allowed to have this child or any other child.

Words of comfort for those by the mistreatment of the child:
I don’t know about the men in jail, but female inmates typically DESPISE people with charges like these. Being locked up is bad, but having the 85 women youre locked up with GUNNING for you is worse. Most of these women are mothers thenselves, and miss their children more than anything— they’d give years off their lives just to see or hold their children, and this woman was ABUSING hers? And these women arent in jail because they know how to ACT RIGHT. Ol’ girl isn’t doing easy time, believe that.

After almost 7 years of having a child in our care, due to the same situation. Except we voluntarily went in and got the child to save her before she was completely destroyed mentally. I can answer a lot of these questions and a lot of the time, DCF is not easy to deal with, until you meet the right case worker that actually has the children’s best interests at heart. And you have to do some of your own work too, write letters to people that will get some attention. Use your imagination And connections, fight for the child. The parents want the child for appearance sake for the courts and also another number for monthly income. I could keep going, but Glory be to God! , we got the help we needed and have raised a fine young lady! And the mother is doing better now too!

This “story” fails to mention their son is in adult diapers without clothes because he has severe autism. But he is beyond loved & taken care of. Anyone who knows this family knows their kids are their world & the family & grandparents would never ever let the children live in these conditions. Ever. This story is a fabrication brought to you by the manipulative Escambia County Police & I pray none of you ever have to face their wrath & destruction like so many families in our city of Pensacolaca have.

I always wonder how the grandparents, who are given the kids in this kind is situation, don’t know that their grandchildren are living in those conditions.

I pray the baby will be placed with a really good foster family or adoptive parents. As for the two drug heads I pray they are locked up for a long long time. People have to be held accountable for their stupid actions.

19,000 dollars? Why are you living like that ? The cops would come to my house and would not find a dollar I would spend it on the finer things in life!
My baby would be wearing the best clothes and diapers!

If your going to deal in drugs get smart and do it right !!
