FOX: Ten children believed to be violently abused and living in “horrible” conditions were removed from a home in Fairfield, California, and their parents were arrested, police announced Monday.
Garbage, rotten food, and animal and human feces were found strewn throughout the house, Lt. Greg Hurlbut said at a news conference Monday.
He added that the children described in interviews various incidents of “intentional abuse.” They suffered puncture wounds, burns and bruises consistent with getting shot with a pellet or BB gun, according to the department.
The children’s removal was sparked after a 12-year-old child was reported missing in the area on March 31, the Fairfield Police Department said in a news release. The child ultimately was found and returned home.
While at the home, police said they conducted a health and safety search and discovered nine other children — ranging in age from four months to 11 years old — “living in squalor and unsafe conditions.”
The 10 children were removed from the home on March 31.
The mother, identified by police as Ina Rogers, 30, was arrested and charged with child neglect. She was released afte rposting $10,000 bail on Aprl 9.
She told reporters outside her home on Monday that she felt she was being judged for having so many children, and for choosing to home-school them. MORE/Video
SNIP:
1. Warning. The picture of the bathroom at the link is pretty gross.
2. I didn’t see any school books. Did you?
3. I think mom and pop could be related. like first cousins or bro/sis related. Or am I just seeing things?
4. How do poor people afford tattoos? (Besides the ones they get while in jail).
“I take care’a ma keeds”
What are those tats? Arabic? He’s 19?! Where are the other baby daddies? She’s just a welfare baby factory.
She is 30 with 10 children? Thankful the children were rescued.
Home schooled my ass, but still probably better educated than in the CA public schools.
Just look at the close resemblance to Ma & Pa portrayed in the American Gothic painting. Why, who would ever suspect these two of neglect, abuse or poor parenting?
Did she use her crossed eye to tat the fish hook below his eye?
I’ve seen worse….
30, 19, 11…? I went to public school and I know this don’t add up. Ten kids, two parents (and assorted baby daddies), four bedrooms, and ten kids in one bedroom don’t add up neither. Pray these children survive the foster care system…
This is probably not how Abraham Lincoln imagined the future.
Ten kids would work if they had a farm with a Vegetable stand
Most other scenarios, not so much
No thanks on the bathroom pix.
I am getting ready for dinner,just
had my cold beer.
Ick
You need a license to drive a car.
I think you should have to qualify to have a child.
No job No child. no brain no child can only afford one child? Then that’s all you can have.
Tattoos on your face? No child. I have never met a sane person with face tattoos.
Fuck of it is?
Better than two lesbians in a goddamn van driving off the cliff.
How the f*ck is the toilet the cleanest thing in the bathroom?!?
Idiocracy wasn’t even this bad.
I am one of 10, youngest.
Very VERY thankful/greatful for my mom and dad.
May they RIP.
