Melanie and Christopher Todd were arrested after officers responded to their home on Cardinal Court for a well-being check on their children and animals, according to the criminal complaint.

Police conducted the wellness check on Sept. 29 after Middletown City Schools reported two children, both 10 years old, came to school dirty and reported having no food to eat, police said.

The kids also said two cats were dead inside their home, the complaint said.

During the wellness check, officers found holes large enough to see outside in the walls and floors. One of the couple’s four children told officers the holes were caused by punching when Melanie and Christopher would get angry, the complaint said.

The home also had little to no edible food inside, officers said.

According to the complaint, the floors were covered in dirty clothes, trash, animal feces, and debris. The house was also infested with bedbugs and cockroaches.

Police removed all four children from the home and placed them with other family members. Officers also removed four cats, pet fish, mice, gerbils and pet tarantulas.

Melanie and Christopher are both facing four counts of child endangerment and several counts of animal cruelty.

I especially despise the people that make kids live in the filth they themselves have become accustomed to. Clean your house you filthy swine, or better yet, sew your fucking legs closed! Both of you!
