Police conducted a well-being check at Tiffany Vanstone's home after receiving reports of juveniles living in “possible deplorable conditions.”
Officers said they discovered five children, including a seven-week-old infant, living in the home, which was marked by trash, feces, and moldy food throughout. Police also reported finding cats inside with no apparent access to food or water.
The children were taken in by the Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) and evaluated at Hasbro Children’s Hospital, police said, while Animal Control removed the cats from the home.
Town Building Officials have since deemed the house uninhabitable, according to police.
