The sheriff’s office said deputies responded to an eviction notice at an apartment on Old Gurley Road. While there, authorities said deputies found two children, aged one and two years old respectively, living in what they described as heavily neglected conditions.
According to MCSO, the children were left unattended, with the apartment having feces on the walls and an excessive amount of garbage. The Alabama Department of Human Resources took the children into its care and had them taken to Huntsville Hospital for evaluation.
