Three people were arrested after 13 children were allegedly found living in “deplorable conditions” inside an east Toledo home. According to Toledo police, officers responded to a home in the 300 block of Raymer Boulevard on Sunday around 6:41 p.m. Police said officers found the children, ages 0-13, living in conditions “that put their health and safety at risk.” According to a police affidavit, officers observed an infestation of insects, human feces on the floor, no food stored in the kitchen, and no functioning toilet or shower. Police said they also found multiple animals “that were not cared for” and were urinating and defecating on the floor. According to police, the children “had multiple bites on their legs from what appeared to be from the insects and also appeared very filthy, as if they had not been bathed in days.”
